Las Vegas Show The Platters, Cornell Gunter’s Coasters and the Marvelettes: Before audio technology advanced to the point where even the most untalented singer could be given a passable studio voice, there was doo-wop, a musical format influenced by rhythm and blues but focused on pure vocal harmony.
Doo-wop’s legacy is that of the human instrument, and nowhere are its greatest moments better represented than in the Las Vegas Show that features three pioneers of the genre in a single masterful performance.
The Platters’ distinctive sound and soothing harmonies; The Cornell Gunter Coasters’ smooth moves and good-humored tales; and The Marvelettes’ upbeat intensity and Motown styling will leave audiences with a rich acoustical experience that truly reawakens an era.
You’ll enjoy classics like “Love Potion No. 9,” “Searching,” “Lucy Brown,” “Only You,” and “Up on the Roof,” while the four-member band “Casino Bandits” accompanies the legends with expert precision and flawless execution. Rarely does talent of this magnitude collaborate in pairs and even less often as trios, marking the Las Vegas show as the ideal opportunity to engage the senses with a diverse range of amazing talent.The Platters, Cornell Gunter’s Coasters and The Marvelettes have proven time and again that their history will remain a part of music culture for all time. Their Las Vegas show is a testament to the fact that they thrived in the absence of modern technology, million dollar studios and relentless digital promotions, standing instead on the ground of raw talent and brilliant musicianship.
