Oh, what a day yesterday. At least today is new and better. I'll continue on with my look at my favorite songs that have "time" in the title. I stole this idea from John Roberts, because it's a great idea and I have no shame. Here's the penultimate song on the list. #2: Twilight Time - Platters Yes, I know this "technically" doesn't qualify as the same kind of music that Alice Cooper did. But hey, the Platters are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, so there! It doesn't matter. This is ONE INCREDIBLE SONG. Ooh, those voices. Oooh, those lyrics ("deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done, fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun"). I used this in the "time of day" songs for "twilight." If I count down songs that have a "T" in their title, I'll use it again. I absolutely love the Platters. Twilight Time Written by Buck Ram Recorded by the Platters Released as a single, 1958 I fall in love again:

Now that's a #1 oldie but goodie for sure! And the group wound up with a total of 4 #1's and scores of chart toping singles! The Platters were one of the first African-American groups to be accepted as a major chart group between 1955-67. These guys were definitely (no Great) Pretenders

There are three Platters songs on my 100 favorites list (sitting comfortably next to things like "Train in Vain" by the Clash, go figure). I'm a hapless sucker for great harmony.
