message: I'm going to look around for some other images. This band was served delicious ballads by Buck Ram (a great songwriter) - "Twilight Time" or "You'll Never Know" (torch songs at their best) are great 50s songs.
I like this group so when I get a chance I'll come back and work on this article.

message: The article for Tony Williams should probably be merged into this one.  162 etc. (talk) 21:04, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose.  There are sufficient sources for a freestanding article - such as this, this, this - and he also had a solo career (admittedly, less successfully).  As the singer of iconic songs such as "Only You" and "The Great Pretender", he deserves a separate article.  Obviously, the existing article needs to be developed.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 11:04, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

text: Oppose. Well-known enough (IMO) and with coverage, outside of his work with The Platters for a standalone article to exist.  Eagleash (talk) 21:07, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

message: Your article has left out a member of the Platters named Bob White. I know this to be true because Bob White was my father and I remember him being a member of the group.  Please follow this link to his memoir where he talks about Buck Ram, Zola, Paul Robi and other members of the band. How he joined the band and traveled with the group. The book also provides several pictures of him performing with the band and in several promotional photos. Please add Bob White to your page.  Alanastribling (talk) 21:03, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
