Elmer Hopper, He was one of the “ Greats”! 🎼🎤⭐️
Lovely. Your tones are rich ,close to the original but uniquely your own as well...brilliantly done and so full of emotion...shocking..frankly I didn't think anyone alive could duplicate their sound but you proved me wrong! The sincerity impressed me the most!
great music but terrible sound quality!
Ok
the song remains beautiful, however the original is unparalleled, perhaps this version is sung too slowly and with some inaccuracies. But thanks for publishing it and to the two interpreters.
MEDIOCRES Y MEDIO
RIP
Aunque esté zola como los auténticos platers ninguno los puede igualar si no canta Tony no valen nade
It was very strange. This morning I woke up with this song in my head and I just had to listen to it. I remember sneaking records from my dad's collection ( he never let me touch his records) what a beautiful song. Gina...you sound like your dad. Beautiful job both of you
the platters always great
😱😱😱
Por favor, no sean usurpadores,. Esa canción la cantaba mejor el grupo verdadero, esto se escucha desordenado,. Buuuuu🥶🥶
Nice to know Zola is a Christian now I have a hope of meeting her someday
She passed away in 2007
When they was young... especially Zola....
Awful!
Lol not nice 😂
So…I WILL meet her after all…in heaven 👍🥰😇
I attended St. Catherine's Military School in Anaheim 7-8 grades (boarding school) with Don Jr. His bed was next to mine. We were best friends, but I lost touch after graduating. His brother Alan was a year or two behind us. Was just reminiscing and found this post while googling him to see if he is still around. We will both be 80, next year. How time flies.
Why the hell isn't this out on CD??
I like this version better than the original version
Beautiful song, superb Singing
Ahhh.. Paul Robi!
Elmer, I hope you still check/read your comment section from time to time. How about a blast from your past?! I'm Michael G (Mike) Strickland, Guitarist with Ben Wages Band - a backing group for you in your stint with Paul Robi's World Famous Platters - Kansas City, MO. (Paul, Beverly "Hills", BeeJay, & you.) You & I both celebrated our birthdays - April, 1984 during that week. You have no idea how many times I've told the "road story" about that "supposed to be locked 'naughty' floor" we stumbled on & eventually BANNED from! Lol PS, I have lots of videos & audio/slideshows on my youtube channel should you ever wish to go back in time & watch yourself way back in the mid 1980s. ;)
Да,это не Тони Вильямс..
Perfect. Love 'em.
My all time favorite by the Miracles. I am so glad that others love it too. Great arrangement too
Em que ano foi esse evento?The Platters forever!
Terrible arrangement and shocking sound balance.
EXCELENTE
sorry bad , not even close . deke
I love this song so much. I also thank you for posting this song.
Gina Eckstine & Elmer Hopper tried their best & it was not a bad performance. However, this beautiful ballad exclusively belongs to one of the greatest duet parings in musical history, Eckstine & Vaughan. All leading vocal challengers are wasting their time.
James Leary . R.I.P. About a month ago he died. Very quick.
That gives me chills. It's a shame the sound quality wasn't a little better...
Hope you boys will continue this legacy .. fabulous !
Very nice song. Well sung and produced. Like most of their productions!
Getting some big Chi-Lites vibes from this song!!
I LOVE IT!!! BACK IN THE DAY WE LOVED EACH OTHER, US BLACK PEOPLE..I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THIS GENERATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY..LORD GOD ALMIGHTY PLEASE SAVE THEM IN JESUS NAME!!!
Real singing and beautiful harmonies.i feel like I'm floating on a boat in the middle of the ocean.
Не то. Надо слушать старые записи. Вот там - ВСЕ ТО.
I was in the LA County jail with Elmer back in I think 1983. He wasn't a criminal, he had a misdemeanor 502. We used to check out the guitars and jam in the dorms, We'd draw crowds. I just thought about him and did a google search and found out he passed last year. Man, he was a good guy. Sorry to hear about his passing.
Beautiful song
Πόσα συγκροτήματα υπάρχουν με το όνομα PLATTERS?Το αυθεντικό λεγόταν THE FLYING PLATTERS
The late, the great, my friend Mr. Elmer Hopper. May you rest in the hands of God.
She clearly has done justice to those Eckstine genes she's carrying. Although he's not an Eckstine, Elmer nonetheless complements Gina wonderfully in this romantic duet.
Trying to track John down. Anyone know? The last phone # I had is no good. Spoke to him a year ago but thats a long time at our age. LMAO
Elmer was dear friend we meet at a Club in Canada called LuLu's when he was with the Platters a great Talent and a better Man RIP
Now this is truly music, just a great beautiful song
Great song
R.I.P Elmer Hopper 🙏
Billy G, legacy forever within the Miracles although folks think Smokey was the only lead.
