I was expecting the music of a man called “Buck Ram” to be a little more....penetrating. Probing, perhaps. But it’s quite saccharine sweet with little aftertaste, guaranteed to prevent Great Aunt Ethel from getting startled into dropping her teeth in the soup tureen when you play it for her at Sunday supper.
The liner notes say that Buck Ram was the manager for the Platters, which would explain the choice of the tunes on the album. Apparently Buck was pining to do a “personal display of his own music—he way he wants it to be played”. I'll stick with the vocal versions, thanks.

If that's his real name, his Porn Star name must be like Mortimer Culpepper or something.
May you be blessed my child!

Hmmm... and a delicious soup that is!
If you love the Platter, ya gotta know the name of Buck Ram...he was the founder, manager, lead singer, and songwriter of the Platters!
