They were a run-of-the-mill R&B doo wop vocal group that turned into one of the most enduring and lucrative groups of all time by producer Buck Ram. The Platters turned out hit after hit with such singles as "Only You," "The Great Pretender," "My Prayer," "Twilight Time," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," and "Harbor Lights."
This lot features a vintage poster from the group's April 8th, 1957 performance at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool, England. They appeared on the bill with "Continental Foot Juggler" Will Carr, ventriloquist Chris Cross, comedian Joe Black, and others. The item is in great condition with a moderate amount of discoloration and very little wear and tear. VG+. This was originally purchased several years back from Heritage Auctions in Dallas. Very RARE!
