OLYMPICS
The Platters always get an enthusiastic reaction to their performances
whether there be 350 or tens of thousands people present - as there was at
the close of the 1996 Olympics.
In 1953 the Platters began as an all-male quartet: Tony Williams, David Lynch, Herb Reed and Alex Hodge. In 1954, when joining Buck Ram Management, they added 15 year old Zola Mae Taylor, formerly with the Queens. In August of the same year Alex Hodge left to be replaced by Paul Robi. In 1955 they landed their first recording contract, with Mercury Records, "Only You" became their first hit record.

TOUR REACTION
What they said about this year's Autumn Tour...
"The Buck Ram Platters have been brought over from the States by well-known
British
Agent Mal Ford. What we have here is a live band backing three vocalists,
two male and
one female. The vocal quality is the most obvious aspect of the performance,
but more striking is the genuine cabaret feel of the act, which sets them
apart from the pack. The group finished with the enormous Platters hit Only
You and the female vocalist's rendition of Aretha Franklin's Respect was
another highlight in a spot that was the biggest hit of the day."
