    Fun Facts

    The Platters The Great Pretender
    This was the first ever doo wop #1 in the USA, and it also made The Platters the first R&B group to have a #1 on the pop charts. The music was not known as "doo wop" at the time - it was categorized as rock or R&B. Around 1970, Gus Gossert, who was an oldies DJ on WCBS in New York City, started using the term "doo wopp" to describe this type of music. Gossert didn't come up with the term however - a record collector named Stan Krause did. Krause helped produce Gossert's shows and gave him song information to use on the air. You can hear a female voice harmonizing on this song. That would be Zola Taylor, who was brought in as the only female member of The Platters. She was Frankie Lymon's second wife, and was portrayed in the movie Why Do Fools Fall In Love by Halle Berry. She died from a stroke in 2007 at age 69.

    The Platters had 40 charting singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart between 1955 and 1967, including four number-one hits.
