Only You (And You Alone)'' by The Platters Limited Edition Prints of Original Painting

The first recording of the song on Federal Records, also by Williams and The Platters, turned out poorly in 1954, but after a re-recording, the song scored a major hit when it was released on July 3, 1955. Platters bass singer Herb Reed later recalled how the group hit upon its successful version: “We tried it so many times, and it was terrible. One time we were rehearsing in the car... and the car jerked. Tony went 'O-oHHHH-nly you.’ We laughed at first, but when he sang that song — that was the sign we had hit on something.”
