Golden Oldies - (Oldies but Goodies)

Three classic songs from the 1950's by The Platters - Only You,Smoke Get's in Your Eyes & Great Pretender.I find both Only You & Smoke Get's in Your Eyes to be quite haunting songs (in a good way) that have featured in quite a few films & tv shows. What a fantastic voice lead singer Tony Williams has.

Anyway,

One of the many reasons the 60's was one of my favourite decades for music.The classic by Procol Harum - Whiter Shade of Pale (1967)
