Signature Voice Of The Platters – Volume 2 – 1961-1962

? The Platters were one of the world's most successful vocal groups during the 1950s, with thirty-five hit records in The States alone, of which seven or eight were million sellers, including four US #1s.

? The lead singer on all of these was the mercurial TONY WILLIAMS, a man with a perfect voice.

? He quit The Platters in 1961 to pursue a solo career, signing with Frank Sinatra's new Reprise label, for whom he debuted with an LP, "Tony Williams Sings His Greatest Hits" and a couple of singles, 'Sleepless Nights' and 'The Miracle'.

? He moved to the Philips label the following year, for the "The Magic Touch Of Tony" LP and an impossibly rare 45, 'Chloe' / 'Second Best'.

? The two compilations in this "mini-series" anthologise Tony's solo recordings between 1955-62, chronologically; Volume 1 deals with 1955-61, and Volume 2, with 1961-62.

? Volume 2 comprises his Reprise and Philips recordings, which are nigh impossible to find elsewhere on CD.
