More Ink Spots and Johnny Mathis--they actually covered the former's "If I Didn't Care" and "My Prayer"--than doo-woppers, the Platters were one of the biggest crossover acts of the '50s thanks to their lush romanticism. Lead voice Tony Williams's sense of drama lent the group some gospel-tinged excitement, so that this set of a dozen top 30 singles works both as soft R&B and make-out music. --Rickey Wright
