The Platters Have the Magic Touch

by The Platters

Overview

Have the Magic Touch revisits the Platters' '50s roots when, with Tony Williams' classy tenor as the vehicle, they were chart regulars. Old tracks such as "My Prayer," "Alone in the Night," and "Wish It Was Me" dominate, though Williams was long gone when this album came out. His replacement, Sonny Turner, appears once on Luther Dixon and Inez Foxx' "Devri," the last song on the album and, at just under two minutes, the shortest as well. If you're looking for the old Platters, they're here; if you prefer the '60s Platters with Sonny Turner, look elsewhere. The album was originally issued in 1967 on Musicor Records. ~ Andrew Hamilton
