We didn’t own a tv until the end of 1959 but I had records. This was one of my favorites. Thank you. 👵🏻

One of the most talented singing groups and at times forgotten, the Platters. Great vid and thanks for posting.

I love it!! That's some jitterbug Hemry! Fantastic... video! Happy Friday... thank you for sharing! 💖

I love The Platters! Thanks for posting!

They also performed this particular song on Sullivan August 16, 1959

This was excellent 👏! Thanks for sharing it with us!

I love this channel. At last, getting to see artists performing particular songs for the very first time! 😃🥰

That Was FUN... Love The Platters!

This is the episode which I thought had the lost performance of the Platters singing "My Prayer", but now I'm starting to wonder if it happened at all. Although the song is listed as "My Prayer" at Historic Films database, the image grid for the song shows this performance of "Dance With Me Henry" instead (which I didn't know until I saw this video just now). Odd that the Platters would appear and not do one of their hits with Tony Williams singing lead at all during the show. I've been dreaming of seeing it for all these years, and now I find out it might not have even occurred. Ah well, if it was sung doing this show, I hope you will post it, and thank you for all the wonderful Platters videos you are giving us! I hope we will also get to see "Remember When" which is such a beautiful song.

After doing some more extensive research (going through old newspapers online, etc.), it looks likely that "Dance with Me Henry" was the only song sung by the Platters on this episode.

Excuse me but This IS A COVER VERSION OF ROLL WITH ME HENRY BY ETTA JAMES AND THE PEACHES RELEASED BY MODERN RECORDS TITLE "THE WALLFLOWER " because of the lyrics being too subjective. The term Roll with me means to have sex. White teenager liked the record and this cause quite a stir so much that Georgia Gibbs re recorded the song called "Dance with me Henry" which became a number 1 hit for Georgia Gibbs hence the Platters doing it on Ed Sullivan show.

I don't have anything, if I don't have you.

Zola gets a lead!

There was democracy on Platters. Everybody of group could sing as lead . Beatles was as Platters too. Until ringo sang some songs.
