In the 1950s The Platters made the kind of music people listened to as they fell in love. Catchy, romantic numbers were sung in perfect harmony by a quartet of young black performers, but at the heart of the band was its manager and sometimes song writer Buck Ram. Quite firmly in charge, Buck helped the band win 16 Grammys. He also ensured that The Platters performed despite dramatic changes in the ensemble’s composition.
The scenic outlook from Heerassagala seems more Nuwara Eliya than Kandy. Breathtaking mountain view, the picturesque bird’s eye view and mist covered mountain range with beautiful valleys keep guests guessing always about the location.
