The Platters, Coasters & Spinners &ndash Step back in time and relive the good old days as three of the most legendary artists from the 50s and 60s bring back good old fashioned American Rock n’ Roll. The Platters, selling over 200 million albums with their romantic rhythm and blues classics; the upbeat and playful ensembles by the Coasters include hits like Yacktey Yak and the Spinners bring back timeless classic performed to precision choreography for an unforgettable evening.

The Platters – They first formed during the dawn of the rock & roll era, in the early part of the 1050’s. The list of hits turned out by the Platters includes ten songs that qualified for Billboard’s list of the 500 greatest rock & roll hits of all time, including three in the top 50. They have had 21 top ten records, 9 million selling singles, 5 platinum albums and 5 number 1 songs. Their total record sales exceed 200 million, making them one of the top 25 selling artists of all time (source: Billboard Magazine).

The Coasters – The leader of what we have come to know as “The Rock Revival”, Cornell Gunther of the original Coasters lead the path for the rebirth of the original rock ‘n’ roll of the 1950s. Born during a time of racial unrest, their music created a bridge between a racially divided nation. The Coasters are known for creating a theatrical approach to their performances that in themselves brought innovation to the genre.

The Spinners – It should come as no surprise that The Spinners have always made timeless music. Their classic group sound and approach never loses its universal appeal. Throughout the years they have acquired twelve (12) gold records with hits on top of both Pop and R&B charts and they are one of the few groups who can boast of four lead singers. Today, original members Bobbie Smith, Henry Fambrough, and Pervis Jackson are joined onstage by lead singer Charlton Washington, high tenor Harold “Spike” Bonhart and a soul infused 5-piece band.
