Some songs are memorably tied in with specific movie scenes, none more so then the Platters' 'Only You' which is the perfect accompaniment to Steve (Ron Howard) and Laurie's (Cindy Williams) heart-rending argument at the school dance in the 1973 hit movie American Graffiti. The songs on this compilation have not only been performed and recorded by myriad Platters line-ups but have also attracted covers from artists as diverse as David Cassidy ('If I Didn't Care'), Freddie Mercury ('The Great Pretender') and Bryan Ferry ('Smoke Gets In Your Eyes'). Yet the originals still retain their timeless charm. So raise a glass to Buck Ram and his Platters. The toast? Thanks for the memory…
