By the way, Herb Reed has an incredible story to tell. He will touch on how African Americans were treated by the music industry in the 1950s. It's a real eye opener.

i saw it first hand-----the poor treatment continued into the 70's-----the great voice behind the platters hits was tony williams----a fantastic vocalist

Mr. Williams may have had on of the finest voices in music history. The Platters were a class act.
