The Platters

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. The act went through several personnel changes, with the most successful incarnation comprising lead tenor Tony Williams, David Lynch, Paul Robi, Herb Reed, and Zola Taylor. The group had 40 charting singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart between 1955 and 1967, including four no. 1 hits. more »

Moonlight on the river Colorado
How I wish that I were there with you
As I sit and find each lonely, lonely shadow
Takes me back to days that we once knew

We were to wed in harvest time you said
That’s why I’m longing  for you
When it’s moonlight on the Colorado
I wonder if you’re waiting for me too

We were to wed in harvest time you said
That’s why I’m longing for you
When it’s moonlight on the river Colorado
I wonder if you’re waiting for me too
