- RARE OLDIES VIDEO WITH THE CLOVERS ! The group formed in 1946 at Armstrong High School in Washington, D.C., with members Harold Lucas, Billy Shelton, and Thomas Woods. John "Buddy" Bailey was added soon after, and they began calling themselves the "Four Clovers", with Bailey on lead. In perfecting their sound, the group pushed Shelton and Woods out in 1948, and brought in Matthew McQuarter and Harold Winley. Their break came in 1950, when they were introduced to Lou Krefetz, who became their manager. They signed to New York's Rainbow Records and released one single, "Yes Sir, That's My Baby" backed with "When You Come Back To Me". Soon after, Krefetz brought them to Atlantic Records' Ahmet Ertegün, and they were signed to Atlantic in 1951. At this point, Bill Harris was added as their guitarist. Their first appearance came in February of that year at the Apollo Theater. Their very first Atlantic session produced their first big hit, "Don't You Know I Love You", which hit on the national charts in June of 1951. "One Mint Julep" (written by Rudy Toombs) and "Fool, Fool, Fool" also went in September. Bailey was drafted in 1952, and John Phillip was brought in to replace him. He stayed for just a few months, before leaving and being replaced by Charlie White, who had been in the Dominoes and the Checkers. With personal problems, White was fired near the end of 1953. His replacement was Billy Mitchell. The group continued recording with Atlantic, without as much success as they'd previously seen. Buddy Bailey was discharged from the Army in May 1954, and rejoined the group, making them a quintet. They continued in recording, and in 1955, found moderate success with "Devil or Angel". Mitchell left in 1957 to do solo work, but rejoined shortly thereafter, opting to do both solo work and work with the Clovers. Their Atlantic contract expired, and Krefetz moved them to his own label, Poplar Records. Poplar was purchased by United Artists Records shortly thereafter. The group's work with United Artists put them in contact with Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. After a few recordings there, they had their biggest hit, "Love Potion , which came in July of 1959, and featured Mitchell on lead. They recorded two versions of Love Potion on UA. For the album of that name a new final verse was created referring to "love potion . In fact this version became played more often on radio than the single at the time.

Hot band fer sure!
I like this live version better than the released recording! When real singers sounded better live! The Clovers!
I think the record had Charlie White on lead, where here it's Billy Mitchell...
💯🎵🎶👍🏻😎🇺🇸
Wonderful. I read a long time ago (and it has been a long rumour) that the King Elvis Presley had recorded this during the Sun years sometime in 1955? T apes or acetates hasn't been found yet.
Louisiana Hayride recording has been released
💯🎵🎶👍🏻😎🇺🇸
Looks like Billy Mitchell singing the lead.
Awesome!
These cats could jam! Great video.

Lovely, thanks for sharing!
The Real Deal!
The biggest selling R&B group of the 1950's...The Clovers
🎵🎶👍🏻😎🇺🇸
Underrated and underpaid
💯🎵🎶👍🏻😎🇺🇸
I just know that Elvis covered this on one of his live appearances in I think 1955
What's the name of the guy to the left of the main singer??
Got a major crush on him ;)
What show is this that they were on? Who was the guy outside the curtain when it drew? Almost looked like Jack Teagarden?! This was a great song, going to look for more by this group!!
🍻🍻🍻
I bet this song predates Elvis’ “Hound Dog”
it does by a decade. also try roy brown - mr hound dog
💯🎵🎶👍🏻😎🇺🇸
Great footage, is that mickey baker on guitar?
I don't think it is, Paul Williams band are backing here
It's Bill Harris
No sound!
