Is that the same "Only You" as in the list of cover versions? If so, it should be corrected there I think. KF 19:48 Jan 5, 2003 (UTC)
This article was a real mess. I can't believe somebody hadn't done something with it, so I did. Be bold, people! 66.168.219.210 05:15, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to look around for some other images. This band was served delicious ballads by Buck Ram (a great songwriter) - "Twilight Time" or "You'll Never Know" (torch songs at their best) are great 50s songs.
I like this group so when I get a chance I'll come back and work on this article.

I've replaced the image and moved previous image down the article. I'll rewrite the opening as well as highlight the wonderful Buck Ram songs. Not Tin Pan Alley so much - more a continuation of Torch Songs from 1920s musical stage shows (no TV then so musical theater was the thing to do and sheet music spread the songs countrywide though Platters obviously belong in the period or television and radio they were essentially a continuation (or summation) of all that had gone before on stage)

Your article has left out a member of the Platters named Bob White. I know this to be true because Bob White was my father and I remember him being a member of the group. [1] Please follow this link to his memoir where he talks about Buck Ram, Zola, Paul Robi and other members of the band. How he joined the band and traveled with the group. The book also provides several pictures of him performing with the band and in several promotional photos. Please add Bob White to your page. Alanastribling ( talk) 21:03, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
