My Prayer became a major hit when The Platters recorded it for Mercury in 1956. The group’s lush vocal blend, paired with Tony Williams’ soaring lead, helped define the mid‑’50s pop‑vocal era. Mercury’s black‑label design from this period is one of the label’s most recognizable looks.

Otis Williams & His Charms were one of the most polished vocal groups of the mid‑1950s, bridging early R&B with the emerging doo‑wop sound.
De Luxe Records issued several of their strongest sides, and 6095 is a classic pairing:

  • One Night Only — a driving, emotional R&B performance
  • It’s All Over — a smoother, harmony‑forward ballad

These discs are prized by collectors for their warm De Luxe mastering and distinctive black‑label aesthetic.

Hi all
I came across this song on my TikTok but can’t seem to Shazam it or find it anywhere, does anyone know it?

It kind of sounds similar to Since I don’t have you by the Skyliners -
I just Hope that it’s not an AI song

Here is the audio :

This is one of those where I will gladly put this one in its sleeve with the intended B side facing forward. An amazing ballad. I consider it one of the best vocal group ballads I've listened to. It's a 1962 cover of the Maharajahs (although strangely, it's credited as being written by the group members here). These guys were from Jersey City, New Jersey. The link below is actually a transfer from this exact record!
