Like the Ink Spots a decade earlier, they were the most popular black group of their time, achieving success in a crooning, middle-of-the-road style that put a soulful coat of uptown polish on pop-oriented, harmony-rich material. Their lengthy string of hits began in 1955 with “Only You” and continued until the end of the decade, including four singles that reached Number One : “The Great Pretender,” “My Prayer,” “Twilight Time” and “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” The secret of the Platters’ success had to do with their choice of material: adult ballads and standards that predated the rock and roll era and delivered with crisp, impeccable harmonies framed by string-laden arrangements. Much of the credit is due to Buck Ram, the group’s producer, manager and guiding light, who had worked with acts like the Ink Spots in the Forties. The group got its start in Los Angeles in 1952. The original lineup included Alex Hodge, Cornell Gunter, David Lynch, Joe Jefferson, Gaynel Hodge and Herb Reed. Reed is credited with creating the group’s name. In June 1953, Gunter was replaced by Tony Williams, and Jefferson was no longer in the group.

SUMMARY* Trademark/Preliminary Injunction Reversing the district court’s grant of a preliminary injunction against defendants’ use of the mark “The Platters” in connection with a vocal group, the panel held that the likelihood of irreparable harm must be established, rather than presumed, by a plaintiff seeking injunctive relief in the trademark context. The panel affirmed the district court’s holding that earlier New York actions did not have res judicata effect. The panel also held that the plaintiff was not barred by laches from challenging defendants’ use of the mark. As to the plaintiff’s likelihood of success on the trademark infringement claim, the panel held that the district court did not err in concluding that the defendants failed to meet their burden of strictly proving the affirmative defense of trademark abandonment.
