ABOUT THE PLATTERS
The Platters®️ are one of the most celebrated and enduring vocal harmony groups in American music history — a living institution whose sound helped define an era and continues to shape popular music worldwide.
This is not a tribute act, nostalgia revue, or museum-piece. It is a premium live concert presented by the continuing official Platters®️ organization — a group whose sound has spanned generations for more than seven decades.
Built for theatres, performing arts centers, casinos, civic and corporate events, and private engagements, the show blends the group's signature harmonic elegance with timeless classics, new music, romance, and rhythm. The result reaches grandparents, parents, and children alike — familiar enough to feel like home, polished enough for premium stages, and current enough to feel like discovery.
Founded and named by Herb Reed in 1953, The Platters®️ helped define the sound of pop and rhythm and blues, creating a vocal-group standard still echoed by The Temptations, The Supremes, Boyz II Men, Destiny's Child, *NSYNC, One Direction, and today's global K-pop acts.
The official organization is carried forward by Herb Reed Enterprises, LLC under Chairman and CEO Frederick J. Balboni, Jr. — Reed's longtime manager and handpicked successor. Performing worldwide, The Platters®️ continue to honor the name, sound, and standard Reed founded and protected.
For presenters and buyers, The Platters®️ offer something rare: true American music history, official brand continuity, cross-generational appeal, and a name audiences already know and love.
The sound that started it all — still alive, still electric, still The Platters®️.
