The Platters (formado en Los Ángeles en 1953 y disuelto a finales de los años 1960) fue grupo musical estadounidense de rhythm and blues y Doo wop compuesto por cinco cantantes negros (cuatro hombres y una mujer).

The Platters iniciaron su carrera artística en Los Ángeles como grupo de doo wop, aunque con una identidad muy débil como para hacerlos destacar sobre el resto. Sus primeras grabaciones las hicieron para Federal, un sello subsidiario de King Records de Cincinnati. Estas primera grabaciones no se parecen en nada a las que más tarde les harían famosos, en tanto que simplemente imitaban las corrientes y estilos del momento, sobre todo las vinculadas al R&B. Lo que cambió su suerte fue la aparición del que sería su mentor, mánager, productor, escritor y profesor vocal, Buck Ram. Ram convirtió lo que no era más que un convencional grupo vocal de R&B y doo wop, en un conjunto de estrellas y uno de los más duraderos y lucrativos grupos musicales de todos los tiempos. Hacia 1954, Ram tenía ya una agencia de talentos en Los Ángeles, escribiendo y arreglando para la editorial Mills Music, dirigiendo la carrera de The Three Suns -un grupo pop con bastante éxito- y trabajando con sus protegidos, The Penguins. En principio, The Platters parecían ser una buena adición a este listado.

Tras desvincularlos de Federal, Ram los situó dentro del emergente sello nacional independiente Mercury Records, colocándolos automáticamente en el mercado pop a través los exclusivos contactos de distribución de la compañía. Entonces, Ram comenzó a trabajar sobre las potencialidades y debilidades del grupo. Los primero que hizo fue colocar el peso vocal del grupo sobre los hombros de Tony Williams, cuya voz era próxima a la de un tenor. El poder emocional de Williams fue completado con un grupo (aumentado en aquel momento con Zola Taylor) que trabajaba envolviendo cada una de sus notas con un bien estructurado soporte vocal. Con las letras pop clásicas de Ram y la paleta sonora de los cantantes, el grupo se convirtió rápidamente en un éxito dentro del pop y del R&B, consiguiendo ser el primer grupo negro de la época en situarse en los primeros puestos de las listas de éxitos. Considerado el más romántico de todos los conjuntos doo wop, éxito tras éxito fueron cayendo de forma aparentemente fácil: "Only you", "The great pretender", "My prayer", "Twilight time", "Smoke gets in your eyes", "Harbor lights".

Williams abandonó el grupo en 1961 y, hacia finales de la década, el grupo se había disuelto debido al deseo de proseguir con distintas versiones del conjunto por parte de sus integrantes. Hasta 125 versiones de The Platters se pueden contabilizar hasta la fecha.
