| | Mike Strickland Playing with the Platters |
 | | English songwriter, offered several of his songs to the group, and the one Buck liked best was "My Prayer," a French song originally written as "Avant de Mourir." It was the first song ever written that had a slow introduction and verse, then the chorus. |
 | | Later that same year, they were introduced to Buck Ram, who decided early in 1954 that it would be a good idea to add a female to the group. |
 | | Buck brought in Sammy Lowe to arrange a song that had been made popular previously by Vera Lynn and Sammy Kaye, My Prayer. |
