What happens when a successful, middle-aged Jewish songwriter, a hopeful girl singer from Missouri and four young black men from the WATTS come together? They create the #1 singing group of the golden days of Rock & Roll. - The Platters. Buck Ram and Jean Bennett ran one of the most succesful entertainment management firms in the music business during the 1950s and 1960s.
