Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Lance Bernard Bryant of the Legendary Singing Group “The Platters”.

Lance Bernard Bryant is a current member of one of the greatest, most popular and beloved legendary music groups in history: The Platters.

Founded in 1952 by bass singer Herb Reed, The Platters brought us 40 hit singles, including the classic songs, “Only You”, “The Great Pretender”, “My Prayer”, “Twilight Time”, “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes”, “Harbor Lights”, “Enchanted”, “Winner Take All”, “The Magic Touch”, and many more. The Platters was the first Black group to reach international superstardom, with over 80 million records sold worldwide.

They’ve been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and the Grammy Hall of Fame. And their classic hit songs “Only You” and “The Great Pretender” have been included in the Grammy Museum list of the greatest songs of the 20th century. They were the only act to have 3 songs included on the “American Graffiti” soundtrack, which is widely credited with igniting an oldies revival throughout the world in the mid-1970s.

And the global love affair with the music of The Platters just keeps growing. In fact, their music is so phenomenally popular, that on Spotify ALONE, their songs are streamed more than 3 million times every month. And despite a tumultuous history spanning decades of racism, unscrupulous identity theft and legal battles, and despite the passing of all the original members, the Platters as a group has endured and evolved and thrived over 7 decades, thanks to Herb Reed’s successor, Fred Balboni Jr., who has worked tirelessly to preserve and honor the legacy of this monumentally important group, which continues to bring their magnificent timeless music to concert halls throughout the world.

The Platters are currently on a North American tour. And our guest is Lance Bernard Bryant, one of the 4 current members of The Platters, who’s taken time out of his very busy touring schedule to speak join Harvey Brownstone Interviews.

Harvey Brownstone is a retired judge of the Ontario Court of Justice and was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He is also the bestselling author of “Tug of War: A Judge’s Verdict on Separation, Custody Battles and the Bitter Realities of Family Court” and hosted “Family Matters with Justice Harvey Brownstone,” a television talk show on matters involving the family justice system.

​After a distinguished legal career, Harvey was appointed a judge at the age of 38 in 1995.  He has presided in family and criminal courts.   He has been a trailblazer in several ways.  He was the first openly gay judge in Canada.  He was the first sitting judge in the world to write a national best seller and to host a TV talk show.

​Harvey has been a role model and icon in the LGBTQ community.  When same-sex marriage was legalized in Canada in 2003, he was the only judge to make himself publicly available to officiate at weddings for lesbian and gay couples travelling to Toronto from all over the world to get married.  In 2007, he officiated at the wedding of Edith Windsor and Thea Spyer, the American couple whose marriage triggered the 2013 United States Supreme Court decision overturning the definition of “spouse” in the federal Defense of Marriage Act.

​In February 2021, Harvey launched his online talk show “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” on his own YouTube channel. He saw this as an interesting hobby.   Within several months, the show attracted hundreds of thousands – and then eventually, millions – of viewers.  Because of the overwhelming success of the show, Harvey decided to retire from the judiciary on December 31, 2021 after having presided as a full-time judge for 26 1/2 years.  Free from the constraints imposed upon judges regarding the expression of opinions and the endorsement of private enterprise, Harvey now happily devotes his full-time attention to hosting “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” as a regular member of the public – albeit one with a rather illustrious and unique career history.
