Platforms allowing vocal quartet to be heard (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

foretops

'platforms' is the definition.
(foretop is a kind of platform)

'vocal quartet to be heard' is the wordplay.
'vocal quartet' becomes 'Four Tops' (American band).
'to be heard' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'fourtops' sounds like 'FORETOPS'.

'allowing' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
