The Clovers are an American rhythm and blues/doo-wop vocal group who became one of the biggest selling acts of the 1950s.[1] They had a top thirty US hit in 1959 with the Leiber and Stoller song "Love Potion No. 9".
The Clovers continued to record with Bailey and Mitchell now sharing lead vocal duties. The single "Blue Velvet" / "If You Love Me" was released in February 1955.[15] In April the groupl recorded four tracks; two from that session, "Nip Sip" / "If I Could Be Loved By You", were released in August and entered the top 20 of the R&B chart in September 1955.[16] "Devil or Angel" was released in January 1956[17] and entered the top five of the R&B chart in February.[18] Their next release, "Love, Love, Love" (recorded March 1956), charted in the R&B top ten of June and reached the top 50 of the national chart in August.[19][20] In April 1957 Quincy Jones arranged five tracks for the group, of which two—"So Young" and "I I I Love You"—were released as a double A-sided single (Atlantic 1139), while "Pretty Pretty Eyes", "Baby Darling" and "Shakin'" were not issued.[21][22] Krefetz left Atlantic and formed Poplar Records in June 1957. The Clovers' Atlantic contract expired in July 1957[23] and Krefetz signed Mitchell in September as a solo artist to his Poplar label. In February 1958 Krefetz confirmed that Mitchell would continue recording with The Clovers as well as pursuing his solo career on Poplar.[2] Krefetz signed The Clovers to Poplar Records in May 1958.[24] Poplar was purchased by United Artists Records in 1959.[25] The Clovers, now part of the United Artists' roster of acts, entered the studio for their first UA recording session in June 1959,[25] which resulted in the July release of "Love Potion No. 9" featuring Billy Mitchell on lead vocals. "Love Potion No. 9" (written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller) became the biggest hit of their career, peaking at #23 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart of November 1959.[26]price rating
