The final Top 40 record for the Platters, one of the biggest vocal groups of early rock and roll. Tony Williams handled lead on a string of hits, but the act began to splinter by 1960 with most of the members facing drug and prostitution charges. There was also much wrangling over who could legally use the Platters name, with numerous lineups floating around as a result. This version of the act with Sonny Turner singing lead is the group heard on today's track, a mainstay of Carolina beach music.
