Doesn’t get any better than this group. A few come close such as The Mills Brothers! Takes me back to real music and songs.

Being alone is the despair of fate! No one has to be alone. No one has to pretend they are someone they are not. No one has to bear their burdens alone. No one has to “hide” from Love. When someone loves you. You should love them back or tell them “Why” you cannot love them. Everyone deserve to know they are loved. No one wants to play games or wait for something that will never be. Because one sided Love never works.

The Platters were one of the best groups of the ’50s & ’60s. The music today doesn’t even compare. I truly enjoyed this.

One of the best groups ever, if not the best! Wonderful to be able to hear and understand the words. Have all their music on CDs and play them often.

Oh Oh Yes- I still think that this one was the most melodious, hummable, sing-alongable song by the Platters.
