I’ve heard it a million times,his voice is beautiful LOVE the Platters

absolutely beautiful true..

Tony Williams had the most compelling voice of the era..

Velvety chocolate voice. I liked this song the first time I heard it in the 50's. Never gets old.

Tony Williams was untouchable -- the absolute best lead singer any vocal group ever had. Period.

He is so effortless! I love GOOD music. I don’t care about genre; give me good music!

When your hearts on fire, you must realize, smoke gets in your eyes…. Wow

What a GIFT

Tony Williams and Nat King Coke two of the most beautiful voices ever!

One of the best songs ever surely?

The best is My Prayer Incredible!

Phenomenal voice and range. Tony Williams is one of the greatest singers of all time.

Totally agree with your comment about his voice being one of the best of all time

fantastic and majic voice of platters

Plus sad river. Amazing

One the greatest songs ever recorded. The reach, clarity & arrangements. I cry every time i hear this. What has happened to black music. The Platters v Rap. It is no contest. Black music has been reponsible for our understanding of all popular music. Elvis, The Beatles etc are with us because of the music made by black people. We are forever indebted & i'm sure Motown Stax etc artists feel that love & indedtedness like i do. Thankyou so much for this. Xxxx

Oldies but goodies 👍👍

How come they can’t make music like this anymore

it would be imposible for any singer today to sing like this, cos even with all the technology now, sing would have no chance of ever coming close

The singers of today don't have the natural talent of singers of 1950's

A perfect song....magic.

my fave song by the platters is I love you 1000 times

Great voice of the last century. Little Jimmy Scott was doing this before Tony Williams

ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!

Right there with you, dax... Williams definitely makes my Mt Rushmore of male singers of the recorded music era

The platters were always great! Loved them...Mostly every single song. Then Don't forget the Inkspots too!

Sou brasileiro e um amante de velhas canções românticas. Esta música entra em meu coração e me transporta para um mundo mágico e maravilhoso. The Platters, o melhor grupo vocal de todos os tempos. Eternamente divinos. 🌹👏🏻👏🏻😘❤️ 🇧🇷

Damn Straight!! Awesome...Thanks!

Man, you feel the song, the music...I feel the same in this song. I can say , we feel ... thanks ;)

One of the best that's ever done it. He was something special.

A song that dosent need no words. . Just listen in aww :-O I have smoke in my eyes in various ways :-D and the world today seems so...blank and without the charme and vibe

Absolute classic

Couldn't agree more. One of the greatest love songs and one of the best singers I've ever heard. Hairs stand on end every time. I'm nearly 50 and I've been fortunate to have been brought up listening to this music. I'll forever be in debt to my parents.

You know good music. I have always loved this song.

Another timeless voice!

This reminds me of singing with Dad in the car 💗🇬🇧

One of the great songs that the platters did and I agree with you agree with you I think he was in the top 5 vocal wonders of all time and when you listen to the song emotionally hes being consumed by the very song hes singing unbelievable

Sempre digo: O Tony foi um dos maiores cantores de todos os tempos..

Velvet indeed!

My boy Jerome Kern wrote "Some Gets in Your Eyes" for the 1933 musical. "Roberta". So, as of this year, the song is 88 years old.

Yea right, pure magic

What a gem! A shame not many people react to this.

Yeah, daX. I feel the same... it's so pure and astounding that I can't find words... It's like out of this world and projected here... And I'm sure of that... Thanks for your honest reaction.

as good as it gets

Great song. They use to play clubs in the 70's. At the time it was Herb Reed (the short gentleman in the group) and The Original Platters. Saw them 3-4 times and they sounded great.

Intelligent lyrics beautifully delivered...

Nice Dax. The Platters had a number of songs in the American Graffiti movie. I just watched it a couple of nights ago. What a coincidence.

Thanks, Dax Smooth as silk and you reaction spot on as usual. health and happiness to you and yours. my friend

Thanks, Frankie. Oh, I will DEFINITELY get to the Drifters sometime soon.

The song “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” predates The Platters by 25 years. This song was written for the 1933 Broadway musical “Roberta” with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by Otto Harbach. It was first performed by Tamara Drasin in the original Broadway production. You can hear Ms Drasin sing the original Broadway version here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z2SFsZuvh5zPhdI.html

Thank you. Ms. Drasin’s version sounds rather perfunctory, but the tune is certainly catchy. Hard to believe this song is that old. Thanks again

What about reacting to Eddie Holman, HEY THERE LONELY GIRL LIVE

By Jerome Kern.

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - Fred & Ginger in Roberta 1935 kzread.info/dash/bejne/aayNycemlZWsado.html This type of old movie goes right thru me. I can't stand to watch them anymore, soooo over produced.
