If you’re in Gulf Shores, AL, take the time to enjoy a cold cocktail and a warm meal while listening to a legend perform live music. Charles “Bo” Grant, formerly of The Platters, will perform at Papa Rocco’s on August 11th to the 12th and the 25th to the 26th. Mr. Grant’s performance exemplifies why this local restaurant is a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

The Platters were one of the most successful vocal groups of the rock and roll era. At one point, they were one of the most successful musical acts in the world. The band had 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1955 and 1967, including four number one hits. Some of the best-known songs include “Only You,” “The Great Pretender,” and “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.”

In 1980, after playing music for over a decade, he was offered the opportunity of a lifetime: to sing with The Platters. Over the next 17 years, Mr. Grant and the band performed on stages around the world.

In addition to his time with The Platters, Mr. Grant has established a reputation as an esteemed solo artist. In 2005, he put out his first solo CD, “Steppin’ Out” and in 2007 he released his second, entitled “Crossroads.” He has also performed live music at various casinos and other venues throughout the South. As further testament to his talents, Mobile, AL, proclaimed November 24th Charles “Bo” Grant Day.
