“The Platters emerged from the Watts high schools in Los Angeles and the amateur nights at Club Alabam on Central Avenue, a scene that produced dozens of vocal groups. It was a ‘close-knit community of singers’…a hotbed of musical interaction among amateur musicians who were only one record away from being pros” (Albin Zak, I Don’t Sound Like Nobody, 2010).
