@teesixx i hope smoke in your eyes was not tears dancing to this beautiful song with your one and only true love🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤❤ i hope you have many more dances to songs like this many more years 👍💐🌿😍😍👋🇮🇪
The most romantic night of my entire life was spent dancing to this amazing song, in 1958, I was 21 and she was 20, pope afb, Fayetteville NC. THE PLATTERS WERE A TRULY OUTSTANDING SINGING GROUP.
Makes me think bavk to 54 to 58 when my steady girlfriend and I used to do the "elevator" dance (No Steps :-) )to the Platters. Of course I'd have to wait a minute or two before we seperated. ;-)
I'm 50 now & I will ALWAYS LOVE the PLATTERS!!!! That's one of the things that helped me to meet my 2nd husband 3years after my 1st husband passed. Just when u think there is NO hope, something good can happen. God bless!!!!
What an ironic paradox of a song. All who love are blind ...when your heart's on fire, u must realize smokes gets in your eyes.....when a lovely flame dies , smoke gets in your eyes . Very paradoxical that one is always in a state of blindness no matter what side of the coin it is.
Is that why he sounds so good. I don't know much about music, but this sounds perfect to me. I cannot imagine how it could sound better. The Platters are timeless and they were the greatest ever.
The greatest popular music male voice of all time. Love this and the memory of the golden voice that was. Tony died of emphysema - still singing on stage to the very end - but lacking the lung power and big notes of his early years. RIP Tony - you were the best.
Tony Williams was a beautiful man with a wonderful voice, and his eyes was really like fire, but many of these coloured singers and actors are very beautiful, because their eyes almost do the talking/singing......We will never get something like the Platters again.....thank you for the music.....
Listen to that song!!!. No microphones!!!!. What a voice Tony had. He gives me goose bumps. I LOVE THISE HIGH NOTES!!!!. Only he can sing them. What a group. The VERY VERY BEST OF ALL . WISH THEY WERE STILL ALL HERE. MANY GOOD MEMORIES. THESE SONGS WILL NEVER DIE IN MY EYES. RIP ALL. GOD BLESS AND LOVE U ALL. .😇😇😇😥😥😥😥😥🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏💋
This is the timeless song that first I lisened with unfortunately my late father. This song will be forever im my heart❤and soul. Tony Williams is one of the greatest voices of all time. R.I.P.
Tony Williams should get more recognition as one of the best voices of the day. Johnny Maestro & Jay Black get all the credit they deserve but hardly anyone can tell you the name of the awesome voice leading the Platters.
I am one of the people who COULD tell anyone the name of the lead singer of the Platters .... but.... when I am so enthralled by a singing group or a lead singer..... I have ALWAYS made sure that I found out their name!!! I certainly feel as though they deserve it.
Love this song. My dad would make Sunday breakfast and blast oldies. I grow up listening to them, and now I am finding a new appreciation for them. What great music.
My grandfather and my grandmother were married in 1959 (I think it was in October) unfortunately my grandfather died in 1984, leaving only my grandmother.
Yes..... this type of music.... and the era that it belonged to.... does not exist anymore. However.... I will NEVER forget this music as long as I am living!
My father, who has since passed on, graduated from college in 1959, then joined the Army. He knew all of these classic songs from the Platters, and really enjoyed the fact that I took an interest in their music, as well as so many other great bands from the 50's. Listening to the Platters makes me think and dream about my pops when he was a young man.
My sister who passed away last year loved to hear my mother talk this group when we were kids back in the 70s. When ever I hear this song, I think about my big sister. Love you big sis.
Love, Love, LOVE The Platters! For my 25th birthday (1974) my folks had the local oldies station play this for me,THAT'S how much i love this song. if I could sing like that , I wouldn't even freaking TALK to people!
The interpretation of the lyric makes me cry and lifts my spirits. What a shame he was so underrated by all the other crooners like Matt monroe, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Maffis and Sammy Davis Junior!!! Williams delivery is theatrical, well paced, and vowels and consonants are elongated on certain words to emphasise an emotion. He really paints with the larger intervals to show emotional changes and colour, very similar to Nat Cole in style and vowel resonance.
I'm so glad my late mother, born 1941, and graduated the same year this awesome tune was released, introduced my siblings and I to this great, timeless music. I believe I'm an old soul anyway lol, because I'm always listening to this and music before my time. This is so beautiful. Who cannot like this! 😍😍💕💕
This was such a great hit and all the Platters songs were great. All of us teens were mesmerized by their singing when the DJ played their songs. The little guy with the mustache is Herb Reed the originator of the group, he died in 2012 at 83.
The most beautiful song. Voice, melody, harmony, musical arrangements and superb backing vocals. One of the prettiest songs of all time in my opinion 👌
I believe the song first showed up in the 1933 Broadway Play ROBERTA, by composer Jerome Kern & Lyricist Otto Harbach, and sung in the play by Tamara Dasin; in the 1935 movie reprise of ROBERTA, the song was sung by Irene Dunne.
ive got this in my collection along with punk , ska , reggae , rock and roll etc . i played this to 2 6 foot 5 skinheads once and they never said a word while it was playing they said afterwards damn that is some voice .
Essa música é linda demais. E a voz do Tony é uma das minhas favoritas de todos os tempos. Está ao lado de vozes como Whitney, Paul anka, Kenny Rogers e tantos outros monstros da música internacional
BEAUTIFUL SONG OF TONY WILLIAMS
Tony Williams....one of the greatest voices of all time. RIP
Full agreement, Mr. Williams also knew how to use those skills, delivering touch medium and power as needed.
Quantas recordações hoje 69 anos tem agradecimentos e saudades desse grupo que inspirava nossos sonhos
That guy was the best there ever was.
Name two more
Yes I agree a beautiful voice
There Will Never Be Music Like This Again Folks!
De allerbeste groep van de jaren 50
In 1958 i sat in front of a juke box in the Army in Germany and listened to this beautiful song and i was 18 years old and now i'm 81.
São eternas
@teesixx i hope smoke in your eyes was not tears dancing to this beautiful song with your one and only true love🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤❤ i hope you have many more dances to songs like this many more years 👍💐🌿😍😍👋🇮🇪

Thank you for your service 🥰🌺🙏🏽
One of the most beautiful songs ever performed
Agree. Just beautiful.
Можно слушать бесконечно!
Music of the film Roberta with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers...
So nice, so wonderfull.
Love this one👏👏👏
AT 83 I AM ENTHRALLED AGAIN BY ONE OF THE GREAT SOUNDS OF MY TEEN YEARS!!!!
Makes me think bavk to 54 to 58 when my steady girlfriend and I used to do the "elevator" dance (No Steps :-) )to the Platters. Of course I'd have to wait a minute or two before we seperated. ;-)
@@BLyons41 BERNIE, Your reply was "edited" ...only you know why. HMMM...Elevator dancing..Be Well
I am 72 and feel the same as you do
that as a very good voice ;
Oh wow
I'm 50 now & I will ALWAYS LOVE the PLATTERS!!!! That's one of the things that helped me to meet my 2nd husband 3years after my 1st husband passed. Just when u think there is NO hope, something good can happen. God bless!!!!
Tony Williams. In another time, he would have been on the stage at the Metropolitan Opera. His voice is one for the ages. RIP Sir Tony Williams.
I’m 31 and in my opinion this is a masterpiece
Me, too! I am 70 years old.... and I can remember when it first came out. I think that it is DEFINITELY a masterpiece!
@@debraweaver6308 Me too!!! and I am 72 yaers old and living in Praque/cz
This performance always gives me goosebumps, I miss operetta music so much 😭

Tony Williams.. Superb voice, every note is perfect
*Tony* True, his voice is capable of delivering high notes without the slightest effort and in perfect pitch.
Is that why he sounds so good. I don't know much about music, but this sounds perfect to me. I cannot imagine how it could sound better. The Platters are timeless and they were the greatest ever.
The greatest male vocalist ever.
My mom - LOVED - The Platters! This one is for you, Mom. 🙏❤️
I was only 13 years old when I first heard this song 🎵. I wish we could go back to the 50's. This was a great era for me.
It was a great era for our nation, considering one of the main subjects in America today is gender confusion......
@@drizzt8965 YEAH!
I meant..... The 50's! Of course
@@debraweaver6308 Lol.
@@drizzt8965 the 50’s was far from great ☠️
Knowing this song and film is here 60 years later, no one can deny it is a TRUE MUSIC CLASSIC .... Remarkable !
I really really live this song by tony now im 74 years of age still listening wlth thier song rest in peace tony.
I still do. It's my dad and mom’s love song. I still remember how my dad treated my mom with love and respect. I missed them both and those times.
The greatest popular music male voice of all time. Love this and the memory of the golden voice that was. Tony died of emphysema - still singing on stage to the very end - but lacking the lung power and big notes of his early years. RIP Tony - you were the best.
I can't believe this video doesn't have more views. This guy had an voice! 👏
Such a magnificent singer. Everything was so effortless.
No, not one of the greatest voices of all time. THE GREATEST VOICE OF ALL TIME. No one can hold a note so clearly and with volume like Tony could.
Back when there was amazing music
If we’re here to remember we did OK we made it this far. Cheers. 83 and counting.
Tony's voice is so smooth, like velvet
Tony Williams one of the greatest voices of all time,RIP,you are miss.
I adore this song . A song my father used To listen and sing when i was a child . Such a beautiful voice !!
Tony Williams is a great soloist.
Tony Williams was a beautiful man with a wonderful voice, and his eyes was really like fire, but many of these coloured singers and actors are very beautiful, because their eyes almost do the talking/singing......We will never get something like the Platters again.....thank you for the music.....
In my humble opinion the greatest hit of the 1950s. It’s a perfect song
Agree
Absolutely!
This tune was already a standard sung by many great singers, male and female but I think this version is unforgettable.
@@clovisra Yes! I have never heard this song sung by any other artists... but ... I DO NOT think that I would like ANY other version than this one
This is beautiful and timeless song of Tony Williams🎤🎼🎶👏 that I listen with my unfortunately deceased father.❤
I have tears in my eyes.....too many years have passed.
Listen to that song!!!. No microphones!!!!. What a voice Tony had. He gives me goose bumps. I LOVE THISE HIGH NOTES!!!!. Only he can sing them. What a group. The VERY VERY BEST OF ALL .

One of the best ever
Love this song. My dad would make Sunday breakfast and blast oldies. I grow up listening to them, and now I am finding a new appreciation for them. What great music.
Good memories! Same here...I hear a song, and suddenly I'm back in the kitchen, waiting for pancakes!
Beautiful ❤️ incredible voice, gone too soon. Rest with the Angels Tony 🤗
What a voice
the platters are brilliant Tony Williams voice is perfection
This ain’t a ordinary song...hearing this, is like being in heaven I guess
And now he's singing in Heaven.
@Chami Bros Network yesssss unfortunately I’m jealous of the angels
That’s a wonderful sentiment!
Still holds up well after all these years. An excellent example of the music matching the lyrics.
I was 8 years old, now I am 70. Beautiful song 🎵
He had such a beautiful voice liquid gold
The Great voice of Tony Williams Brilliant.
I was born in 90's but i love this kind of classic songs. 🙂
The most beautiful voice ever in the history of world music "Samuel Edward Tony Williams"
My Mom and Dad were married in January of 1959. That song was #1 back then. 👌🏻
I was married in 1962 and it was here
My grandfather and my grandmother were married in 1959 (I think it was in October) unfortunately my grandfather died in 1984, leaving only my grandmother.
I was seven years old, then... in January of 1959. AND I sure do remember this song!!! It remains as one of my ALL-TIME favorites!
they are incredible beautiful voices u can just dream away🙂
Caraca veio,essa música me faz chorar 😭
My father graduated high school in 1959 and then joined the Army. These songs perk him up when played. This music does not exist anymore
Mad Max Man 1959 that’s a long time ago way before my time I wasn’t born until 2001 lol but I like old music like this
Yes..... this type of music.... and the era that it belonged to.... does not exist anymore. However.... I will NEVER forget this music as long as I am living!
I love old music like this also and I wasn't born until 2005.
The Platters, on cassette. It was fire to a young person like me!
You don’t get no better than this
Unforgettable....Brazil....são Paulo!!! Junho de 2023....🇧🇷

Very sweet and mellow. A+
Great song, great voice
One of my favorite songs of all time!
A gem for the ages 🥰
Oh yes this is the one, he is so smooth and sings the words with so much meaning!!!

Loved this song the moment I first heard it at age 7 in 1973. Still one of my all time faves.
Probably the most beautiful song ever.
One of the best songs of all time. It makes me feel like making a movie revolving around the lyrics of this song.
