Columbia signed him in an attempt to find a Pop and Rockabilly star
on a par with Elvis . They failed ,at least in the U.S., but he was to
become a huge hit in Australia for reasons that are discussed in the show.
Despite his failure to become a teen idol in the 1950s he did become a

MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOW WITH
A Pt. 2 OF A TRIBUTE TO THE CLOVERS! ON SHOW #4499
The Clovers Pt. 2 (1953-56)
The Clovers were the most successful rhythm & blues vocal group
from 1951 to 1955, racking up 16 top 10 R&B singles during that
time-frame. Three of those singles went to #1. Though they didn't
have a huge career defining hit, like The Dominoes did with
"Sixty Minute Man," The Clovers claim to fame was consistency.
You always knew what you were going to get with a Clovers record.
Most of their songs were mid-tempo with tight, limited instrumentation,
beautifully blended harmonies and catchy, memorable lyrics. This week,
"Juke In The Back" presents part 2 of a 3 part feature on this ground-breaking
pre-rock n' roll group. In part 2, we'll cover EVERY Clovers' release
(both A and B sides) from mid-1953 to the beginning of 1956. During this time,
lead vocalist Buddy Bailey was drafted, so Charlie White, formally of the
Dominoes and The Checkers was brought in to sing on "Good Lovin'," which hit
#2 on the R&B charts as well as the classic "Lovey Dovey." When things
didn't work out with White, the group hired Billy Mitchell, who lends
his versatile voice to "Your Cash Ain't Nothin' But Trash" and
"In The Morning Time," until Buddy Bailey was discharged and could return
to lead the group. It's part 2 of 3 on the amazing Clovers, this week on the
"Juke In The Back."
1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947
2. Good Lovin' - The Clovers - Atlantic 1953
3. Comin' On - The Clovers - Atlantic 1953
4. The Feeling Is So Good - The Clovers - Atlantic 1953
5. Lovey Dovey - The Clovers - Atlantic 1954
6. Little Mama - The Clovers - Atlantic 1954
7. Your Cash Ain't Nothin' But Trash - The Clovers - Atlantic 1954
8. I've Got My Eyes On You - The Clovers - Atlantic 1954
9. I Confess - The Clovers - Atlantic 1954
10. Blue Velvet - The Clovers - Atlantic 1954
11. If You Love Me - The Clovers - Atlantic 1954
12. Love Bug - The Clovers - Atlantic 1955
13. GREAT 78 - Alrighty Oh Sweetie - The Clovers - Atlantic 1954
14. In The Morning Time - The Clovers - Atlantic 1955
15. Nip Sip - The Clovers - Atlantic 1955
16. If I Could Be Loved By You - The Clovers - Atlantic 1955
17. Devil Or Angel - The Clovers - Atlantic 1956
18. After Hours - Erskine Hawkins - Bluebird 1946
Another commendable tribute to another R&B great Matt and
there will be more to come I am sure! If you

Rock-it Radio Program Webpage Reminder
Remember, if the show
that you want to hear is getting close to the bottom of the list of
radio shows, you should tune in as soon as you can. These shows to have a
high audio quality require a lot of internet bandwidth and memory. And
currently we can only afford the 25 latest shows online here at Rock-it
Radio. So, when a new show is put online it knocks the oldest one off
the Rock-it Radio archives page. Usually a show will at least last 16
to 20 days, once it is placed in the archives.
============================================
