Song of the Day 4/29: The Platters, “With This Ring”

Some days there’s no news peg for the song, and you just get whatever has become my latest earworm. In this case it’s this tune, now best known among Northern Soul aficionados after serving as a comeback song for The Platters in 1967. It reached No. 14 in Billboard, the group’s first Top 20 hit since 1960. I always liked the beat, though I forget which dance we did to it, and I love the way Sonny Turner hits those high notes.
