Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Lance Bernard Bryant of the Legendary Singing Group "The Platters"
About Harvey's guest:
Today’s guest, Lance Bernard Bryant, is a current member of one of the greatest, most popular and beloved legendary music groups in history: The Platters.
Founded in 1952 by bass singer Herb Reed, The Platters brought us 40 hit singles, including the classic songs, “Only You”, “The Great Pretender”, “My Prayer”, “Twilight Time”, “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes”, “Harbor Lights”, “Enchanted”, “Winner Take All”, “The Magic Touch”, and many more. The Platters was the first Black group to reach international superstardom, with over 80 million records sold worldwide.
They’ve been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and the Grammy Hall of Fame. And their classic hit songs “Only You” and “The Great Pretender” have been included in the Grammy Museum list of the greatest songs of the 20th century. They were the only act to have 3 songs included on the “American Graffiti” soundtrack, which is widely credited with igniting an oldies revival throughout the world in the mid-1970s.
And the global love affair with the music of The Platters just keeps growing. In fact, their music is so phenomenally popular, that on Spotify ALONE, their songs are streamed more than 3 million times every month. And despite a tumultuous history spanning decades of racism, unscrupulous identity theft and legal battles, and despite the passing of all the original members, the Platters as a group has endured and evolved and thrived over 7 decades, thanks to Herb Reed’s successor, Fred Balboni Jr., who has worked tirelessly to preserve and honour the legacy of this monumentally important group, which continues to bring their magnificent timeless music to concert halls throughout the world.
They are currently on a North American tour. And our guest is Lance Bernard Bryant, one of the 4 current members of The Platters, who’s taken time out of his very busy touring schedule to speak with me today.
