Title: The Platters - With This Ring
Description: This is another performance filmed for my now legendary documentary, "The Strange World Of Northern Soul". In late 1959, Sonny Turner replaced Tony Williams as the lead singer of the original Platters. Chosen out of 100 singers who auditioned, Sonny at the young age of 19, toured the world with "The Platters" bringing their music to people of all nations. Sonny brought The Platters back to the pop charts in the 1960's with such hits as "I love You 1000 Times", "With this ring" and "Washed Ashore"; as well as re-recording major Platter hits like "Only You", "The Great Pretender" and "The Magic Touch." You can hear Sonny's voice in various movies such as "The Nutty Professor II" starring Eddie Murphy. "Hearts in Atlantis" starring Anthony Hopkins and "Prince of the City" starring Robert DeNiro. There are only three surviving members of The Platters still alive today that can be heard on the hundreds of recordings and hit records that made The Platters one of the most successful vocal groups of all time. They are Herb Reed who founded the group in 1953 and sang bass. Zola Taylor, the female vocalist and Sonny Turner. Sonny remained with The Platters from late 1959 until 1970 when he left to pursue a solo career. In 2005, Mr. Turner received The Lifetime Excellence in Entertainment Award in Las Vegas where he currently resides. He was also inducted into The Vocal Group Hall Of Fame for his achievements with The Platters. Today Sonny performs all over the world; be sure to check his tour schedule and catch one of his shows. This video for their biggest Northern Soul record ever, "With This Ring", was filmed by my best friend, Ralph Tee, in Las Vegas, and of course the original version was written and produced by Northern Soul legend, Richard "Popcorn" Wylie.

Title: The Platters - Sentimental Journey (1963)
Description: This song was written in 1944. It was Doris Day's first #1 hit, as a singer with the Les Brown band. Les Brown, Bud Green and Ben Homer wrote the song. Released on the 1963 album, "Moonlight Memories". This was long after Tony Williams left the group to go solo, but that's definitely him on the lead here, so I assume this was recorded much earlier and not released until this LP.
