Sonny Turner is best known for replacing Tony Williams as lead singer of The Platters. The group had 40 charting singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including four no. 1 hits, and were, for a period of time, the most successful vocal group in the world.
This is Sonny Turner, former lead singer of The Platters, the actual Platters that recorded hit records and I'm talking about a feeling of things that happen that make you feel great, that you make you feel, like in my life, things that happen to me, made me feel great about being aspiring to be a performer, a singer and the good fortune that the door of opportunity that opened for me that gave me the opportunity to be, to fulfill my dream to be a performer and show business because I was who I was born to be. Let's put it that way. And continuing on as a performer, as I do now, as we speak today and it was a wonderful thing to be inspired by music. My mother was a gospel singer, my father was a fantastic boxer, so my point is that inspiration gives you the catalyst to fulfill your dreams.
