Smoking Top Ten: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes (#7)

Tweet

No smoking? Oh, I’d never break that rule. I don’t smoke, and I never have, thank God. I saw enough of it out of my parents. But when it comes to songs with “smoke” in the title, that’s a different subject all together! Here’s today’s song. #7: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes - Platters I love the Platters. There are three Platters songs on my 100 favorites list. This is not one of them. This song goes back to the 1930s and a musical called Roberta. Its popularity has been longstanding. I remember an episode of M*A*S*H where Hawkeye even parodied this by singing, “They asked me how I knew her brassier was blue….” The beauty of one of the greatest vocal groups ever comes back in this “smoky” classic. Enjoy. Smoke Gets in Your Eyes Written by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach Recorded by the Platters From Remember When?, 1958 Something here inside:
