RARE 1959 UK #1 ON A BLACK LABEL MERCURY 78 

SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES

GREAT STUFF!!

They asked me how I knew

My true love was true

Oh, I of course replied

Something here inside cannot be denied 


They said someday you'll find

All who love are blind

Oh, when your heart's on fire

You must realize

Smoke gets in your eyes


So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed

To think they could doubt my love

Yet today my love has flown away

I am without my love


Now laughing friends deride

Tears I can not hide

Oh, so I smile and say

When a lovely flame dies

Smoke gets in your eyes

Smoke gets in your eyes  

Featuring a smooth sophisticated sound and the superb lead tenor of Tony Williams, the Platters were among the most successful black vocal groups of the '50s. One of the first such groups regularly to ascend the pop charts and enjoy massive popularity with white audiences, the Platters helped launch doo wop music and influenced generations of vocal groups with their harmonies and arrangements.
