The Platters - Only You and You Alone [Americana] 4K color Remastered 1

Composed by Buck Ram, "Only You (And You Alone)" (often shortened to "Only You") was originally recorded by The Platters with lead vocals by Tony Williams in 1955. Platters bass singer Herb Reed said, "We tried it so many times, and it was terrible. One time we were rehearsing in the car... and the car jerked. Tony went 'O-OHHHH-nly you. We laughed at first, but when he sang that song-that was the sign we had hit on something." According to Buck Ram, Tony Williams' voice "broke" in rehearsal, but they decided to keep this effect in the recording. This was the only Platters recording on which songwriter and manager Ram played the piano.

The song was number 1 on the U.S. R & B charts for 7

weeks, and hit number 5 on the Billboard Top 100 chart. It remained on the charts for 30 weeks. It was also a hit in the United Kingdom, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart.

A timeless love song enjoyed by all ages, the song's been featured in many films and television shows, including "Grease," "American Graffiti," and "The Sopranos", a popular song at weddings and other special occasions the world over.
