The Platters - The Great Pretender (1956) - HD

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I'm doing well
My need is such; I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
A drift in a world of my own
I play the game; but to my real shame
You've let me to dream all alone

Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not; you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not; you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Still around

Great music back in the 50-60s. Maybe we can go back? Great times can be re-invented? Add a few modern twists maybe. Already got the winning formula. Just need some creativity to make it happen again. You know like let's twist again !!! Like we did in yesteryear.

How come Tony Williams name is not mentioned when you talk about the greatest singers of all time
