Reaction to The Platters singing Smoke gets in your eyes.
#theplatters
#musicreactions
#musicvideoreaction
This is singing. Range, control, passion, showmanship. Seriously, this doesn't exist anymore. Tony Williams is his name, Harri.
Tony Williams is the lead singer and I could listen to his voice forever. The Platters had quite a few big hits.
Agreed!
That line when he sings "When your hearts on fire, you must realize, Smoke gets in your eyes"has been giving me goosebumps ever since my first listen ;which was actually from watching the Stephen King Movie. Hearts in Atlantis. I agree!! Haunting beautiful voice. One of a kind.
Now that is a singer.The songs from that Era were so clear..get vocals
This is another fabulous group from the 50's-60's. This was the time of classy romantic heartfelt songs. Sadly they don't make music like this anymore. They had so many great hits such as "Only You", "Enchanted", "(You've Got) The Magic Touch", "My Prayer", "Twilight Time", "Harbor Lights", "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", "The Great Pretender" etc.
For me, no group can top the Platters. That lead singer could have made it in any field of music. What a voice.
Before Rock and Roll.
This was my parents music.
Before Chuck Berry
Before Elvis Presley.
The Platters were a fabulous group.
the platter,s were popular around the same time as elvis presley & chuck berry, infact i think elvis would,ve been singing before these, only you, i think was one of their first big hits in 1955
Tony Williams what a vocalist
Gorgeous ballad! Excellent reaction, Governor!
His voice is almost out of this world. Rare these days.
Rare? More like non-existant.
This music comes from the heart!!! I am glad, that you gave it a chance, and listened to it. Beautiful voices, lyrics, songs are great from the past.
Brilliantly written song too
Greatest vocalist Tony Williams. Harbor Lights another great song.
Insanely great song.....love Tony's
incredible voice
A heart melting ballad from the 50's. When I hear this track I see my mom & dad young and vibrant holding one another on the dance floor. 3 songs they danced to because it was their songs. This is one, "Under the Boardwalk" by the Drifters, and "I Only Have Eyes For You" by the Flamingos. Any of these great artists singing thier ballads will set that loving mood in your hearts.
I totally agree with the three songs you mentioned 💕 Tony Williams lead vocals just take me to the moon 🌙!
Best group of the 50s, period
Grew up on this music, it's priceless! Otto Harbach and Jerome Kern wrote this in 1933.
Wonderful song writer. Wonderful singer.
This song was around in the 50's. I was 9 years old when it came out. I agree that it is the most Beautiful love song I have ever heard. I listen to it over and over. Great for people in love !!!
His. Voice is gorgeous! All their songs are equally beautiful! Thx fo4 the memories.
Oh..the magical voice of the great Tony Williams! He's one of just a handful of singers from that era that just give me goosebumps. The music was so classy and the arrangements were always so beautiful. This is a treat to hear again!
The voice of the late, great Tony Williams from my hometown of Elizabeth NJ. The Platters have a whole catalog of hits that you might want to check.
I love the way that some singers enounciate and elongate the vowels "They AHsk me HOAhw I knohhhw" love it. Reminds me of the way Nat King Cole sang.
I wonder what the story is with how that style developed. You hear it in 50s Doo Wop also.
This is just One example of the Amazing and Best composers in the 30's and 40's. Jerome Kern, George and Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter and more. This was written by American composer Jerome Kern and lyricist Otto Harbach for the 1933 musical Roberta. The song was reprised by Irene Dunne, who performed it in the 1935 film adaptation of the musical co-starring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, and Randolph Scott.
I love everything thins man has ever sung. He is wonderful. I glad his work is being revisited.
It's a fact, that this is a class act .. !!!
I love watching peoples reactions to that first “Ohh” is always the best!!
Tony Williams had a wicked set of pipes... Could run rings around any opera singer...
Yeslord
I love Tony William's voice! All of their big hits were made when I was a teenager🎶🎼👍
The BEST of the Best, THE PLATTERS WERE FANTASTIC.
Saw them on Dick Clark's BANDSAND, ED SULLIVAN, plus many more!
You have no idea how the Music of America, how diverse, how wide & deep 1950s through 1960s.
Tony Williams is a GIANT! What a vocal. That "Oooooooh" part is just phenomenal.
Age of STYLE and class.
The platters. Another word for Class!
Another wonderful song from the same genre done in the 50's is "I Only Have Eyes for You" by 'The Flamingos' try it you'll love it Harry.
I grew up with my older brothers playing this and singing in our house. Both my brothers are musicians... One plays the piano, one plays the guitar and sings. BUT when I was in high school my major was Auto Mechanics. My shop teacher Mr Caban huge fan of The Platters. HE had the most beautiful voice and he used to sing this acapella. Years ago, before my vocal chords were injured I used to sing as well. Of course we weren't able to do the range that they did but we did harmonize pretty well together. MANY times after school was over was when we would spend time together. That's when I would have to makes up the work that needs to be done on my cars they came in and we would sing together. He always decided that we would sing together to help the time pass more quickly... He knew that it was very hard for me to have to make up the extra time from class. I was the only girl at that time taking auto shop and it was a VERY HARD experience for me. NOBODY want me to be in that class at all. They made that very clear from the first day when somebody in the back of the room through a wrench in my head but they missed. MANY TIMES the boys would say that there was still busy with tools that I needed. MANY TIMES tools all of a sudden will disappear that I needed to use. Myself and Mr Caban would end up spending time looking for them and find them hidden somewhere behind other things in the shop. Sometimes we'd find them in the oil or transmission fluid supply boxes... Wedged way down behind them or sometimes hidden underneath! Mr Caban exactly what they were doing but we never knew which one of them was doing it because they were all in on it together. So I ended up spending a lot of time after school in the shop. My car has had to get repaired~no matter what. Like I said with my brothers, I had heard the music of The Platters before. BUT when it came to Mr Caban... He knew every single song they had ever put out! HE was one of the hardcore fans. So he would sing that almost every day because he knew it was one of my favorites! HE IS the main reason why I became such a huge fan of The Platters. He was such a wonderful mentor to me when I was a teenager. He had three young sons and lived in New York City with his wife. My school was out on Long Island and after high school I came to him and let him know I was getting married. Even though I wanted to invite him and his wife to the wedding I wasn't in charge of the guest list. We had three sets of parents involved. Mine, and my ex-husbands mother and her husband, and his father and his wife. I was absolutely stunned when I was walking back down the aisle after getting married and greeting everybody on my way out of the church. I looked it's one of the pews and there Mr Caban was with his wife and his three boys. I went over to him and hugged him and kissed him and I said I can't believe that you came all the way out here from Jamaica Queens for my wedding! He said I know you didn't think that I would let MY LITTLE CHRISSY get married without me coming to see you! He always used to call me my little Chrissy because I was in a way like a daughter that he never had and that's what he used to tell me. Now that he's passed on this song will always remind me of him so that's another reason why I love this song so much. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Chrissy, for your wonderful story. No wonder you love this beautiful song so much.
this is one of the finest songs ever recorded...
I heard the Platters in 1959 in the movie Europa at night and they sang My Dream and You'll nerver know From this moment on I bought all the Platters' records, I know their complete discography
Classic this song will carry you away
An awesome song and group.
One of the greatest songs ever recorded.
Thank you for honoring it.
Harri, this song was written by the great Jerome Kern (lyrics by Otto Harbach) in 1933 for the musical "Roberta." Of course, Tony Williams and the Platters take it to another level.
Was looking for this; I had to make sure he knew where this song came from.
My older brothers and sisters owned that album. I was lucky to grow up on
The Platters!
Everything the platters recorded was pure magic. My Prayer still one of my favorites.
Adored this group. As a boy I got to hear all the 1950s, on my grandfather's old Victrola. The sound is pure Paradise.
I got to see them in person in Miami back in the 60’s. Incredible show.
Probably the greatest song ever recorded. The Platters are wonderful. I only came to them via a friend, last week Harry. Take care my frend, love your channel. X
My Mother loved song and it always makes me think of her. Thank You 🙏
Everything stops when this song comes on ❤🎶
I agree. We may never see another group like this again. I never, ever, heard anything bad, disreputable, or questionable to "anybody" from these folks. I can't say that about many singers, or groups. Truly, Harri.
An all time classic!
Love this song so beautiful
The Great Pretender was a favorite.
Oh Harri, you hot Gold either this one!! They are the greatest.
The Platters are the ones that got me hooked on 50s and 60s Doo-Wop music! Please go down the rabbit hole with The Platters!!! My other favorites of theirs are My Prayer, The Great Pretender, Twilight Time, You’ll Never Never Know, On My Word Of Honor, (You’ve Got) The Magic Touch, and I’m Sorry.
The Platters was my.moms favorite group. Makes me miss her
I graduated from high school in 1963. This song would play in our cafeteria at lunch time. This brings back nice memories. You have been reacting to such good music lately, thank you.
A golden year, 1963, before the Vietnam War came to ruin the late 1960s
Me too❤❤
50+ years ago I listened to this music and it still gives me chills.
Let's dance in the high school gym...
It is one of my favorite karaoke songs. Tony Williams was my favorite doo-wop singer, and one of my favorite pop tenors to emulate, along with Roy Orbison, Jay Black, Bobby Darin, and Bobby Vinton, because they were in my range. He also reminds me of several opera tenors which I emulate: Wunderlich, Crooks, McCormack, Schipa, the early Caruso, Lanza, Björling, Felix Knight. You are correct in noting that his voice is of operatic quality.
wouldn't it be so cool to be in the club while they singing this song.
MORE MORE MORE of the Platters! You won’t regret it! Great reaction Harri💕
This was one of my Mom's favorite songs when she was young. She is eighty-one now. What class the groups had before and such wonderful voices and lyrics.
A great dance song back in the day
This is my favourite song ever! Blown away with that final note - unlike the smoke!
Twilight Time has always been a favorite.
My mother loved this song. She loved music and singing. Such sweet memories listening to her records and we both singing. I miss you so much Mom. I love you. 💔
You have the BEST music sight period!
The Platters are so easy on the ears, I love all their music ♥️😎
Oohh yeah Harri you are so correct! I’ve had the smoke in my eyes both good and the not so good. Still don’t regret at all I would do it over and again. Maybe I’ll get it right next time.
From the peak days of Tin Pan Alley where composers continuously churned out great music!!
Try more from them!
MY PRAYER!!!!
Twilight Time!
A veritable work of art !
Awesome review of this song! He had a beautiful voice! Thank you for posting this review!
I haven't heard this song in a long time. My stepfather always had good music coming from his room.
Great analysis Harri! Fabulous song.
AWESOME SONG AND SINGER!
Would definitely recommend "Since I Don't Have You'" by the Skyliners. One of the most iconic 50s ballads, so beautiful.
In the autumn of 1956 I got to see "Rock Around The Clock". I don't know how I got to see it as the film was causing disturbances up and down the UK with dancing in the aisles, seats being ripped up and other vandalism. But at the age of 9, I was taken to the Bluehall, Islington Green (?) and witnessed two songs by the Platters "Only You" and "The Great Pretender". I was mesmerised. The lead singer (who I later found out was Tony Williams) had such a beautiful voice which I tried to imitate much to my parents chagrin. I think I got away with singing "Only You" constantly because my parents liked the song too.
"Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" was a UK #1 in 1959. The marriage of Tony Williams voice and a Jerome Kern song was made to be. Your reaction to the lyrics is spot on.
I didn't have a record player until 1960, so I didn't buy either of these discs until much later when they appeared on a Greatest Hits album. But the Platters songs (see other comments for a list) have stayed with me from my youth into my dotage through many changes in the musical horizon.
BTW. There were no disturbances when I attended the cinema 😀😀
This is 'THE' version of this song. I'm 63 now and first heard it in the 60's and it was already an old song. It is also on the soundtrack of the "American Graffiti" movie set in 1962 and released in 1973 with an ensemble cast that included actors in their early years who are now big names in acting. 'Twilight Time", "Great Pretender" are also worth a listen.
Thanks for this one Harry. It's always great to hear.
Love your review.
Hugely popular - and a classic performance.
Tony Williams had the VOICE -- best lead singer of any vocal group -- EVER.
If you're not deeply effected by this sound...you're dead.
One of my all time favorites. Tony Williams was just amazing
That is not Tony Williams it is Buck Ram!
@@patsaylor8973 1958 Tony Williams was their lead and his voice is very recognizable
@@patsaylor8973 I believe Buck was the producer of this recording
@@americanaforever6725 Buck Ram was their lead singer and then Tony Williams was later.
*Genius Lyrics indeed! The Lyricist was Otto Harbach*
When I was growing up in the 70s I was always listening to music from the 50s and this song was one of my absolute favorites!!
Tony Williams had a voice second to none Try reacting to ONLY YOU or THE GREAT PRETENDER
they had so many hits . Just a brilliant band . They were up there with the all time Greats .
I’m watching this in September and it’s making me think of my mom who died almost two years ago. This was music she played and I remember this song and many others from that era. Sweet memories of listening to my mom sing along with the “record”.
YES !! One of the greatest !!
Some of us believe that the platters were the greatest singing group of all time.
My brother & I listened to The Platters & danced around the house when we were teens, some wonderful memories from the 50’, 60’s & 70’s !! We were (are) so lucky to have this music when growing up, now you are helping to carry on these precious tunes. I couldn’t live without music & taking trips back to share & enjoy your Reactions is so much fun !! 🤗🇨🇦🎵☮️
I love , My Prayer! Yes the lead singer is phenomenal! 🔥
Yeslord
When I was in high school we sang this song in our yearly musical. We were fortunate enough to have a classmate with a beautiful voice to sing the lead.
Famed American composer, Jerome Kern, penned the music for this beautiful song with lyrics by Otto Harbach. Written in 1933, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes has been recorded by many artists over the years
.
Notamment par la merveilleuse actrice Irene Dunne dans le film Roberta (1935).
@@francoisevassy6614 and one of my favorite actresses. Loved her in Showboat, I Remember Momma, Life With Father, and others.
@@TheCarnivalguy
Yes ! And with Cary Grant in Penny Serenade, The Awful Truth and My Favourite Wife… and also Back Street, The Magnificent Obsession, Love Affair, When Tomorrow Comes, Anna and the King of Siam, The Mudlark…etc
She was one of the greatest !
Oh my goodness Harri, You did it , you reacted to one of my all time favorite songs . Voices like velvet🔥🔥🔥❤️
Keep up the '50's retrospective harri. It's great.
Masterpiece,this was a majestic group from the 1950s,along with the Drifters and the Flamengos.The lead singer of the group was Tony Williams,what a beautiful tenor voice he had.I have always believed that this man had a background in classical singing.Note the range,the passion in his voice.He pronounces every word clearly ,great diction.What did you think of that last note.The Platters were pure class,that cannot be disputed.Great selection,well done.
EPIC STUFF. Thanks for checking out the platters. Nobody like them before or since. Those vocals are haunting. Check out the Platters ONLY YOU....my personal favorite.
And don't forget "Harbor Lights". So many great songs on their list!
1933, Jerome Kern:
They ask me how I knew
My true love was true
I, of course, reply
"Something inside
Cannot be denied"
They said some day you'll find
All who love are blind
When your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them
And I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt
To think they could doubt my love
But today
My love has flown away
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
"When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes"
But today my love has flown away
I am without
I'm without my love
now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
"When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes"
Well, yes, but the words were written by Otto Harbach. I think Mr. Kern came up with the excellent musical arrangement.
The song was written in 1933, and used in several movies. One with Irene Dunne, and I believe Judy Garland. However, no one sings it like Tony Williams. I remember dancing all night to this song at one party. What a singer! Such command. Such a great group of talented people.
Yeah, this is good as doo-wop got. And that includes a whole lot of wonderful tunes. Great reaction, Harri!
This is become one of my favorite songs and definitely my favorite Platters song. Although, there are so many other good ones too!
I saw The Platters my freshman year in college in 1968. They were just awesome. I’m glad Harri and other young folks are now discovering the musical gems of the 50s and 60s. Loved your reaction.
That group was way ahead of their time, it's hard to believe they're a group from the fifties, one of the best music group of all times.
I agree Harri. I listen to all styles of music and this song is in my top 5 of all time. Simply beautiful.
