The Platters are so smooth you don't realized you're being doo-wopped. Along with
the Moonglows and
the Orioles and others, they were amongst the smoothest purveyors of the beloved vocalizing style. They eloquently employed the technique on the unforgettable "Twilight Time," "It's Raining Outside," "Try a Little Tenderness," and "My Old Flame." Another song, "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen," is a story in itself. The title is surprisingly popular with songwriters: At least 30 totally different songs have the exact same title. ~ Andrew Hamilton
