Washington, D.C.
Washington, D.C. (), formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States, founded on July 16, 1790. Article One of the United States Constitution provides for a federal district, distinct from the states, to serve as the permanent national capital. The City of Washington was originally a separate municipality within the federal territory until an act of Congress in 1871 established a single, unified municipal government for the whole District. It is for this reason that the city, while legally named the District of Columbia, is known as Washington, D.C. The city shares its name with the U.S. state of Washington, which is located on the country's Pacific coast.

The Clovers - Drive It Home
One of the last record companies in the country specializing in the production, recording, and distribution of what is known as "Carolina Beach Music" is Ripete Records located in Bishopville, SC, a small rural area in the eastern part of that state. It has been through their painstaking efforts that this "sound" has not only been preserved, but has also survived as a viable industry today with new recordings from local artists as well as older ones such as two Atlantic Record stalwarts, The Drifters and The Clovers. This song was recorded in 1988 for Ripete by one of the groups callling themselves The Clovers that still contains members who reach back many years with that group and continue to perform as The Clovers in the Las Vegas and Atlantic City venues. Johnny Mason, who takes the lead on this recording, dates back nearly 40 years with The Clovers, and he delivers a hard-driving vocal to a hard-driving tune.

The Clovers - One Mint Julep (Original)
Released in March of 1952, "One Mint Julep" was the first of the Clovers' "cautionary drinking songs" and it went to #2 on the R&B charts ultimately becoming a Carolina Beach Music standard. Although Buddy Bailey has the lead on this one, the "tinkling piano" of Harry Van Walls was quite a hook for the tune.

Good Soul/Beach Music - The Clovers - Don't Play That Song
This was recorded in 1988 which is why the arrangement is a bit cheesy.. I never liked low bit synthesizers. Looking passed that this is a great track. Possibly (and probably) the last 45 The Clovers did.

The Clovers - Bring Me Love (Original)
A beautifully crafted tune recorded in 1956 by The Clovers under the watchful eye of Ahmet Ertegun of Atlantic Records and composed by Neil Sedaka. Buddy Bailey took the lead on this one with a female chorus added to the track for good measure...exquisite doo-wop!

The Clovers were one of the most successful music groups of the 1950's, with a chart career that spanned the decade. Between 1951 and 1959 they had three #1 hits on the R'n'B charts, four #2 hits and 11 other top ten hits. Their influential combination of vocal group stylings with jump blues, gospel and swing made them one of the earliest and most important R'n'B bands, and gives them a claim to be one of the earliest rock 'n' roll bands. They began in the halls of Washington DC's Armstrong High School, a long-gone institution in the Shaw neighborhood where Duke Ellington once studied design and art. The group was formed in 1946, with Harold "Hal" Lucas recruiting high school classmates, all from the neighborhood around 7th and T streets NW. The original members were tenor Thomas Woods, bass Billy Shelton, and Lucas. When John "Buddy" Bailey came on board as lead, Lucas moved to baritone. Lucas, hoping for good luck, called his group the Four Clovers and they began playing the local club scene, singing songs by the Ink Spots, the Ravens, the Charioteers and local heroes the Orioles. By 1949, second tenor Matthew McQuarter had replaced Thomas Woods, and Harold Winley had replaced Billy Shelton. McQuarter joined when he passed the Clovers rehearsing on the street as he was walking home from football practice at Howard University. McQuarter noticed some bad harmonies and stopped to give pointers, using his church choir experience. He was invited into the group soon <b>...</b>

Lyrics: I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth She's got a pad down at 34th and Vine Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine I told her that I was a flop with chicks I'd been this way since 1956 She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign She said "What you need is" Love Potion Number Nine" She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink" It smelled like turpentine and looked like India ink I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink I didn't know if it was day or night I started kissin' everything in sight But when I kissed the cop down at 34th and Vine He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine I didn't know if it was day or night I started kissin' everything in sight But when I kissed the cop down at 34th and Vine He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine Love Potion Number Nine Love Potion Number Nine Love Potion Number Nine Tab/Chords: Available upon request.

The Clovers are an American rhythm & blues group.
History
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 #1 on the national charts in June 1951. "One Mint Julep" (written by Rudy Toombs) and "Fool, Fool, Fool" also went #1 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 #9", which came in July 1959, and featured Mitchell on lead.
They recorded two versions of Love Potion #9 on UA. For the album of that name a new final verse was created referring to "love potion #10". In fact it was this latter version that was more often on radio.
After Love Potion #9
Their UA contract expired in 1961, and they moved to Winley Records. With little success there, the group split. Lucas and Mitchell brought in new members James "Toy" Walton and Robert Russell, and recorded shortly for Atlantic. John Bailey recorded with his own Clovers group in 1962 for Winley (owned by Harold's brother Paul).Mitchell left in 1962, and was replaced by Roosevelt "Tippie" Hubbard. They recorded as "Tippie and the Clovermen" and "Tippie and the Clovers" for Tiger Records, a subsidiary of Rust Records. John Bailey's group, by this time consisting of Nathaniel Bouknight, Peggy Winley Mills (sister of Paul and Harold), and Ann Winley, Paul's wife, recorded for another Paul Winley label, Porwin Records. Near the end of 1963, the two groups came back together, into a Clovers trio featuring Harold Lucas, John Bailey, and the returning Harold Winley.
Following The Searchers' remake of "Love Potion #9" in 1965, some of the old Winley and Porwin tracks were leased to Pickwick International Records, who released them as the album The Original Love Potion No. 9 By The Clovers. Winley left for the second time in 1965. Bailey and Lucas recorded briefly for Atlantic with the returning Robert Russell and Jimmy Taylor. The sides were sold to Port Records and released with little success. Lucas and Bailey split that year.
Lucas and Russell brought back Tippie Hubbard and Toy Walton and, with fifth member Al Fox, recorded as "Tippie and the Wisemen" for Washington D.C.'s Shrine Records. With Fox out, they changed back to The Clovers. John Bailey also formed a Clovers group, who re-recorded "Devil or Angel" and "Love Potion #9" for Lana Records in 1965. To add to this confusion, Harold Winley started a third Clovers group in 1968, with members Bobby Adams, Johnny Taylor, and Ray Loper, and recorded for Josie Records.
Robert Russell died in 1969 and Lucas replaced him with John Bowie. They released a disco tune, "Bump Jive!", on D.C. based Aladdin Records in 1975. Shortly after the recording, Toy Walton died, and was replaced by Johnnie Mason. Tippie Hubbard died in 1980 and was replaced by Steve Charles.
A reunion was planned in 1988 in Austin, Texas. Lucas brought his Clovers, as well as reuniting with John Bailey, Matthew McQuarter, and Harold Winley. Lucas' group also performed at a benefit concert later that year for Bill Harris, the group's long-time guitarist. Also in 1988, Lucas' group recorded for Ripete Records, in Elliott, South Carolina.
Chuck Battle replaced Charles around 1990. Harold Lucas became ill and stopped touring around 1993. His place was taken by Richard Merritt. Battle left in 1992 and was replaced by Preston Monroe, who was later replaced by David Warren. King Raymond Green was added to the group from The Flamingos in 1998 to join Johnnie Mason, David Warren, and Richard Merritt. The group performed on the PBS special, Doo Wop 51 in 2000. John Bowie died in 2002, but the group continued to work under the leadership of Johnnie Mason. The Clovers were inducted to the Doo Wop Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2002.
Richard Merritt left the group in 2002; his last performance was the VGHOF induction ceremony. David Warren departed soon after. Mason currently leads a new group featuring former Flamingo Ron Reace, William Rawlings, and Antwan Drayton.
In 2006, King Raymond Green left Johnnie Mason's group to form a new group, The Original Clovers (sanctioned by Steve Charles who co-owns The Clovers Trademark along with Johnnie Mason). The new group formed by King Raymond Green recruited Harold Winley (now the only surviving founding member) and new members Franklen Poole, Carlos Wilson, Edward "Ike" Bowers, and guitarist Tye Lovell. This group is managed by Powerhouse Productions, and still tours the U.S and Europe. Following the 1988 reunion, Winley and Buddy Bailey had joined Jimmy Nabbie's Ink Spots; Winley still performs in that group from time to time. Prior to his death, Bailey also performed solo, sometimes backed up by The Calvanes, who feature former Bailey-Clovers member Bobby Adams. No remnants of the former Bailey groups exist.

Controversies
As of February 2011, The Clovers are involved in a dispute with the Cleveland-based indie rock band CLOVERS concerning the band's name. A recent quote taken from CLOVERS facebook page: "This guy emailed me today and then we spoke on the phone. If we don't change our name before our next show he will be taking us to court." Despite threats, the case is still unresolved.There is a new controversy brewing pertaining to the use of the Clovers name.
Any individuals representing themselves as the Clovers original or otherwise are impostors. NOTE: PLEASE ASK FOR THE SERVICE MARK AND ACCEPT NOTHING LESS
Founded by Harold Lucas, they began singing together in high school and signed with Atlantic Records in 1950, Over the years, some members voluntarily left the act, but Harold Lucas kept touring and recording with carefully-chosen replacements, and by the 1980's, the act was undergoing a renaissance, once again enjoying radio airplay (complete with a number one, double-sided hit on Beach Music stations one Summer), visibility via TV syndications, and working theaters, fairs & festivals, conventions, and casinos from Las Vegas to Monte Carlo, earning standing ovations and industry accolades along the way. Harold thought so much of this current act that he blessed them all by granting each member a full legal partnership in the Clovers name and various endeavors. Well deserved, since without this second blossoming The Clovers could have faded into musical obscurity. ...and although Harold has since passed away, the act today still includes long-time partners (of Harold's choosing) Johnny Mason and Steve Charles, whose lead vocals and antics contributed heavily to The Clovers' renaissance. Their live performance today still combines excellent showmanship, a healthy dose of humor, and an authentic, exciting vocal blend. Harold Lucas' act continues to be the only legal recording Clovers there is.
