One the greatest songs ever recorded. The reach, clarity & arrangements. I cry every time i hear this. What has happened to black music. The Platters v Rap. It is no contest. Black music has been reponsible for our understanding of all popular music. Elvis, The Beatles etc are with us because of the music made by black people. We are forever indebted & i'm sure Motown Stax etc artists feel that love & indedtedness like i do. Thankyou so much for this. Xxxx
Couldn't agree more. One of the greatest love songs and one of the best singers I've ever heard. Hairs stand on end every time. I'm nearly 50 and I've been fortunate to have been brought up listening to this music. I'll forever be in debt to my parents.
A song that dosent need no words. . Just listen in aww :-O I have smoke in my eyes in various ways :-D and the world today seems so...blank and without the charme and vibe
One of the great songs that the platters did and I agree with you agree with you I think he was in the top 5 vocal wonders of all time and when you listen to the song emotionally hes being consumed by the very song hes singing unbelievable
Sou brasileiro e um amante de velhas canções românticas. Esta música entra em meu coração e me transporta para um mundo mágico e maravilhoso. The Platters, o melhor grupo vocal de todos os tempos. Eternamente divinos. 🌹👏🏻👏🏻😘❤️ 🇧🇷
Yeah, daX. I feel the same... it's so pure and astounding that I can't find words... It's like out of this world and projected here... And I'm sure of that... Thanks for your honest reaction.
Great song. They use to play clubs in the 70's. At the time it was Herb Reed (the short gentleman in the group) and The Original Platters. Saw them 3-4 times and they sounded great.
thanks for sharing dax.great assessment of my favorite from tony williams,as well as my dream.i like more of these reviews👍.maybe you could also feature brook benton,clyde mcphatter of the drifters.
The song “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” predates The Platters by 25 years. This song was written for the 1933 Broadway musical “Roberta” with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by Otto Harbach. It was first performed by Tamara Drasin in the original Broadway production. You can hear Ms Drasin sing the original Broadway version here: ruclips.net/video/50QO9vW9iUo/видео.html
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - Fred & Ginger in Roberta 1935 ruclips.net/video/7xYgeme2F9w/видео.html This type of old movie goes right thru me. I can't stand to watch them anymore, soooo over produced.
Velvety chocolate voice. I liked this song the first time I heard it in the 50's. Never gets old.

Tony Williams was untouchable -- the absolute best lead singer any vocal group ever had. Period.
Phenomenal voice and range. Tony Williams is one of the greatest singers of all time.
absolutely beautiful true..
He is so effortless! I love GOOD music. I don’t care about genre; give me good music!
A truly beautiful voice.
Tony Williams had the most compelling voice of the era..
When your hearts on fire, you must realize, smoke gets in your eyes…. Wow
One of the best songs ever surely?
The best is My Prayer Incredible!
Right there with you, dax... Williams definitely makes my Mt Rushmore of male singers of the recorded music era
Man, you feel the song, the music...I feel the same in this song. I can say , we feel ... thanks ;)
Totally agree with your comment about his voice being one of the best of all time
The platters were always great! Loved them...Mostly every single song. Then Don't forget the Inkspots too!
Tony Williams and Nat King Coke two of the most beautiful voices ever!
ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!
Oldies but goodies 👍👍
One of the best that's ever done it. He was something special.
Damn Straight!! Awesome...Thanks!
What a GIFT

You know good music. I have always loved this song.
Another timeless voice!
my fave song by the platters is I love you 1000 times

How come they can’t make music like this anymore
it would be imposible for any singer today to sing like this, cos even with all the technology now, sing would have no chance of ever coming close
The singers of today don't have the natural talent of singers of 1950's
fantastic and majic voice of platters
This reminds me of singing with Dad in the car 💗🇬🇧
A perfect song....magic.
This music makes me SWOON! It is just TOO beautiful! One of my favourites! Thank you for reading to this!
Yea right, pure magic
Intelligent lyrics beautifully delivered...
What a gem! A shame not many people react to this.

Love the Platters....Charles Bo Grant of Mobile is a friend of mine...still knocks em out...live in Gulf Shores 2021
Great voice of the last century. Little Jimmy Scott was doing this before Tony Williams
Plus sad river. Amazing
Yeah, daX. I feel the same... it's so pure and astounding that I can't find words... It's like out of this world and projected here... And I'm sure of that... Thanks for your honest reaction.
Absolute classic
Great song. They use to play clubs in the 70's. At the time it was Herb Reed (the short gentleman in the group) and The Original Platters. Saw them 3-4 times and they sounded great.
My mother had this Album.
Nice Dax. The Platters had a number of songs in the American Graffiti movie. I just watched it a couple of nights ago. What a coincidence.
Thanks, Dax Smooth as silk and you reaction spot on as usual. health and happiness to you and yours. my friend
thanks for sharing dax.great assessment of my favorite from tony williams,as well as my dream.i like more of these reviews👍.maybe you could also feature brook benton,clyde mcphatter of the drifters.
Thanks, Frankie. Oh, I will DEFINITELY get to the Drifters sometime soon.
My boy Jerome Kern wrote "Some Gets in Your Eyes" for the 1933 musical. "Roberta". So, as of this year, the song is 88 years old.
Wow!
Sempre digo: O Tony foi um dos maiores cantores de todos os tempos..
I agree!!
Spot on bro
Velvet indeed!
as good as it gets
Listening to these songs gives me mixed feelings, they were liked by my parents, born in the late 30's and early 40's.

Thank you. Ms. Drasin’s version sounds rather perfunctory, but the tune is certainly catchy. Hard to believe this song is that old. Thanks again
What about reacting to Eddie Holman, HEY THERE LONELY GIRL LIVE
By Jerome Kern.
