Platters, Coasters, and Marvelettes Tickets Las Vegas

Half a century ago it would be difficult to conceive what kind of strings would need to be pulled to have the Platters, Cornell Gunter’s Coasters, and the Marvelettes play at the same show. Then again, half a century the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino had not even been dreamed of. Now, in 2012, the Platters, Cornell Gunter’s Coasters, and Marvelettes tickets are indeed available for a show at the Crown Theater.

The Platters are not the original group that dominated the charts for 12 years from 1955 to 1967. In that time period they charted an incredible 40 singles have four number one’s to their credit. This Vegas incantation of the group pays homage to the group, reproducing the original sound that took “The Great Pretender”, “My Prayer”, “Twilight Time”, and “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” to the top of the U.S. charts.

Cornell Gunter’s Coasters were busy at the same time. They too formed in the mid-1950s and they eventually scored a number one hit with Yakety Yak”. Despite the lack of dominance on the Billboard Hot 100, this group is an undeniable legend in the days of doo-wop and time has done its best to pay this group is due. The Marvelettes arrived on the doo-wop scene at the beginning of the 1960s and proved doo-wop was as much a woman’s domain as a man’s. Though later surpassed by the Supremes, this was the first major girl group to make a dent on the chart, landing at number one with “Please Mr. Postman”.

Together these three bands take the stage and sing the hits that made an era and helped take rhythm and blues mainstream. In the years that have followed rhythm and blues has evolved into R&B, melded with rap to become hip hop, and has even come to dominate the adult contemporary charts. Doo-wop and these three groups are an important part of modern American. Thus, anyone who appreciates modern music history needs to see this show because it will be the most enjoyable history lesson of his or her lifetime.
