  • The Platters Friday July 15, 2016
    The Platters Friday July 15, 2016 Featuring Sonny Turner With a smooth sophisticated sound, the Platters were one of the most successful vocal groups of the early rock and roll era. Their distinctive sound was a bridge between the pre-rock Tin Pan Alley tradition and the burgeoning new genre. While performing in a local club in Cleveland, as lead singer of the Metrotones, Sonny Turner was approached by local DJ, Bill Crane, and asked if he would be interested in auditioning for The Platters. Turner was chosen out of 100 singers - at the young age of 19, to replace Tony Williams as lead singer of The Platters in late 1959 and, has entertained audiences all over the world with emotional renditions of the group’s best known songs. Songs such as Only You, The Great Pretender. Twilight Time, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and With This Ring to name a few. The group has had 40 charting singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including four No. 1 hits. The Platters were one of the first African American groups to be accepted as a major chart group and were the most successful vocal group in the world, at that time. One of the first such groups regularly to ascend the pop charts and enjoy massive popularity, the Platters helped launch doo wop music and influenced generations of vocal groups with their harmonies and arrangements. Our coach departs St. Michael’s Church parking lot at 10:15 am Friday morning. Lunch will be served family style at Croatian Lodge Ballroom in Eastlake, Ohio prior to the show.

  • Przeboje Światowe
    Wojciech Dąbrowski Przeboje światowe BESAME MUCHO (Całuj mnie mocno) beguine muzyka i słowa hiszpańskie: Consuela Velasquez (Meksyk, 1940), słowa polskie: Wojciech Dąbrowski (2006) Besame, besame mucho! Całuj mnie, całuj gorąco, Niech inni od nas się uczą, Kiedy przytulę cię drżącą, Jak kochać i żyć. Kołysząc do snu. Besame, besame mucho! Całuj mnie, gorąco całuj! Dziś zakochani nie muszą Swych pocałunków nie żałuj Z miłością się kryć. I pieść mnie bez słów. Całuj mnie, całuj, kochana! Całuj mnie, całuj namiętnie! Ten pocałunek dziś dla nas Zanim spłoniemy doszczętnie Niezwykłą ma moc. W tym ogniu jak ćmy. W pięknym śnie trwajmy do rana, Całuj mnie, namiętnie całuj! Niezapomniana Swych pocałunków nie żałuj, Niech będzie szalona ta noc. Nim spełnią się sny. Każdy twój uśmiech Daj mi swój uśmiech, I czułe spojrzenia, Niech zginę w płomieniach! Spełnione marzenia i sny. Zostaną wspomnienia i sny. Całuj, nim uśniesz, Całuj, nim uśniesz, A wszystko się zmienia, Do szału, do wrzenia, Bo nikt nie całował jak ty. Bo nikt nie całował jak ty. Całuj mnie, całuj mnie mocno! Besame, besame mucho! Niechaj rozpali nas wiosną Dziś zakochani nie muszą I porwie ten blues. Z miłością się kryć. Całuj mnie, mocno mnie całuj! Besame, besame mucho! Swych pocałunków nie żałuj, Niech inni od nas się uczą, Nie żałuj swych ust. Jak kochać i żyć. Piosenka Besame mucho uważana jest za jeden z najbardziej reprezentatywnych utworów muzyki rozrywkowej Meksyku. Skomponowana w 1940 roku jako utwór fortepianowy w rytmie wolnego beguine, przez pianistkę Consuelę Velasquez z Guadalajary (zm. 22 stycznia 2005 roku), została rozpowszechniona z hiszpańskim tekstem kompozytorki, a później z angielskim tekstem Sunny Skilar (Kiss me much).

  • 1 Platters. Les Platters Sont Un Groupe Vocal, Ayant Joui D'une Très Grande
    Platters. Les Platters sont un groupe vocal, ayant joui d'une très grande renommée aux États-Unis dans les années 1950, et mondialement connu pour les slows « Only You (And You Alone) », « The Great Pretender », « (You've got) The Magic Touch »; « My Prayer », « Smoke gets in your eyes », « Twilight Time ». Ecoutons le dans « My Serenade », musique de Schubert sur Youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT2ML6TIgXI Formé à Los Angeles en 1952, le groupe se fixe en 1953 autour de Tony Williams, chanteur soliste, David Lynch, Herb Reed et Alex Hodge. Ils enregistrent quatre chansons pour l'étiquette Federal avant de rencontrer le gérant Buck Ram qui oriente leur carrière. Les premiers disques qu'ils publient ne rencontrent que peu d'écho même avec l'ajout de la chanteuse Zola Taylor. Une première version d' « Only You » s'avère même un lamentable échec. À l'automne 1954, Alex Hodge, compositeur de quelques pièces du groupe, est arrêté pour possession de marijuana et remplacé par Paul Robi. Ram réussit ensuite à leur faire signer un contrat chez Mercury Records. Lors de leur première séance d'enregistrement, personne ne veut de la chanson « Only You ». La chanson devient pourtant un très gros tube de l'année 1955. Dans le disque suivant, « The Great Pretender » la surpasse encore. Les années 1956 à 1959 seront bercées par leurs succès : «(You've Got) The Magic Touch», «My Prayer», «Twilight Time»... Les Platters se produisent dans des stades, tournent dans le monde entier et apparaissent fréquemment à la télévision. Parallèlement, ils apparaissent au cinéma dans Rock Around The Clock, Carnival Rock, Girls Town...
