| Welcome
to the information site for one of the world's greatest vocal groups ...
The Platters! Since the 1950s, The Platters have undergone a myriad of
changes, changes in which have, at times, made this group difficult to
keep track of, understand personnel changes, and find accurate and truthful
information on. This site is intended to tell the story of The Platters...
a story of classic hits, world fame, and success. This site will also present
the other side to the story: group division, legal battles, and ugly lawsuits.
Most importantly, using personal testaments from many involved with the
group such as management, and the members themselves, The Platters Information
Site hopes to tell these stories in an honest and truthful manner!
As
we're in contact with virtually all former and current members of the various
Platters groups, we hope to soon exclusively present their stories, photos,
and personal merchandise on this site soon!
Visit
the links to the left for more information, and be sure to contact us if
you have any particular questions, etc. Also be sure to join the Platters
E-Mail Discussion List!
Enjoy
your stay, and we hope you will
forever
enjoy the music of The Platters!

RE: The World Famous Platters in Branson, MO
Damon
Freeman was killed in an automobile accident
on
July 18th. His replacement is Rico Johnson from
Kansas
City, Missouri.
Sorry
I did not contact you sooner. I was also in the
accident
& was unconscious for the first few weeks.
The
WFPS now consists of Lawrence "Rooster"
Lockard,
Eddie Stovall, Willie Nash and Rico
Johnson.
We are still performing at the Americana
Theatre
in Branson, Missouri doing a 10 am morning
show.
We will add 2 pm matinees this fall (starting
September
20).
