The Platters - Sixteen Tons - Lyrics

The Platters performing "The Great Pretender", released originally in 1959.

It reached #1 in the Netherlands, #1 on the US Billboard Top 100, #1 on the US R&B Records, and #5 on the UK Singles Charts.

This style of music, characterized by its harmonies and catchy melodies, was not called "doo-wop" at the time; it was categorized as rock or R&B. The term "doo-wop" gained popularity around 1970 when oldies DJ Gus Gossert started using it on his WCBS radio show in New York City.

The song tells the story of a man who conceals his heartbreak by pretending to be happy, having mastered the art of smiling through his pain. It was written by The Platters' producer, Buck Ram, who needed a follow-up to the group's first hit, "Only You." Ram quickly composed the lyrics in the washroom of the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, where the group was performing.

"The Great Pretender" was featured in the movie "Rock Around the Clock" and on the "American Graffiti" soundtrack, alongside two other Platters' songs, "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and "Only You." The harmonizing female voice on the track belongs to Zola Taylor, the only female member of The Platters. Taylor was also the second wife of Frankie Lymon and was portrayed by Halle Berry in the movie "Why Do Fools Fall in Love." She passed away in 2007 at the age of 69. In 1987, Freddie Mercury revived "The Great Pretender" with his version of the song, which reached #4 in the UK.

"Only You (And You Alone)" (often shortened to "Only You") is a pop song composed by Buck Ram. It was originally recorded by The Platters with lead vocals by Tony Williams in 1955.
The Platters first recorded the song for Federal Records on May 20, 1954, but the recording was not released. In 1955, after moving to Mercury Records, the band re-recorded the song (on April 26) and it scored a major hit when it was released in May. In November that year, Federal Records released the original recording as a single (B-side - "You Made Me Cry") which sold poorly. Platters bass singer Herb Reed later recalled how the group hit upon its successful version: "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 held strong in the number 1 position on the U.S. R & B charts for seven weeks, and hit number five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It remained there for 30 weeks, beating out a rival cover version by The Hilltoppers. When the Platters track, "The Great Pretender" (which eventually surpassed the success of "Only You"), was released in the UK as Europe's first introduction to The Platters, "Only You" was included on the flipside. In the 1956 film Rock Around the Clock, The Platters participated with both songs, "Only You" and "The Great Pretender".

TWILIGHT TIME LYRICS:

Heavenly shades of night are falling
It's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling
'Tis twilight time

When purple colored curtains
Mark the end of the day
I hear you my dear at twilight time

Deepening shadows gather splendor
As day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender
The setting sun

I count the moments darling
'Til you're here with me
Together at last at twilight time

Here in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendez-vous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark, your kiss will thrill me
Like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me
With dreams untold

Each day I pray for evening just
To be with you
Together at last at twilight time

Here in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendez-vous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark, your kiss will thrill me
Like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me
With dreams untold

Each day I pray for evening just
To be with you
Together at last at twilight time

Together at last at twilight time

The Gospel of Mary is found in the Berlin Gnostic Codex (Papyrus Berolinensis 8502). This very important and well-preserved codex was discovered in the late-nineteenth century somewhere near Akhmim in upper Egypt.
Scholars do not always agree which of the New Testament people named Mary is the central character of the Gospel of Mary. Arguments in favor of Mary Magdalene are based on her status as a known follower of Jesus, the tradition of being the first witness of his resurrection, and her appearance in other early Christian writings.
Mary Magdalene is known in some Christian traditions as the "apostle to the apostles". She is a central figure in later Gnostic Christian writings where she is portrayed as Jesus's closest and most beloved disciple and the only one who truly understood his teachings.
