when did the platters record smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes Possibly the most well-known version of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" was recorded in 1958 by The Platters, for their album Remember When?. The group's cover became a number one hit in the U.S. on the Billboard Hot 100 music chart. In 1959 the version went on to peak at number three on the Rhythm and Blues chart.[19] The song spent 20 weeks on the UK charts, peaking at Number 1 for one week on 20 March of that same year.[20] The Platters' producer, Buck Ram, reported that Harbach "congratulated Buck Ram and the Platters for reviving his song with taste."[18] Jerome Kern's widow, on the other hand, disliked the recording so much she considered taking legal action to prevent its distribution.[21]
