The Platters performing “Only You, And You Alone“, released originally in 1955. The Platters, an American vocal ensemble, were one of the foremost singing groups of the early days of rock and roll and also often associated with the doo-wop style. They were managed by songwriter Buck Ram, who was taken with Williams’s dramatic soaring voice and had the singer form a group around himself in 1953 in Los Angeles. Ram wrote or co-wrote some of the Platters’ biggest hits, including “Only You (and You Alone)“ (1955), “The Great Pretender“ (which topped the pop and rhythm-and-blues charts in 1956), and “(You’ve Got) The Magic Touch“ (1956).

The group also appeared in two rock-and-roll movies, The Girl Can’t Help It and Rock
