5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 50's music, February 23, 1999

By A Customer

The Clovers were major R&B vocal group stars in the early to mid 50's. This CD covers their 1951 to 1960 releases on both Atlantic and United Artists records. The first 12 tracks are all very good high-charted Atlantic recordings and track 15, "Love Potion No. 9", was their lone non-Atlantic hit. The remaining 3 tracks are undistinguished. Their 1956 hit, "Love, Love, Love", is conspicuous by its absence. The liner notes contain good historical information.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe this group is NOT in the Rock Hall of Fame!, September 24, 2003

By	Jesse Monteagudo "book nook" (Plantation, Florida USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While much lesser groups have been inducted. Admittedly, the Clovers somewhat predated the Rock Age but at least they could have been inducted as "early influences" (like the Ink Spots). The Very Best of the Clovers is a great compilation of songs and hits by this unjustly forgotten group. Another triumph for Rhino Records.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Group - Great Songs, August 11, 2004

By	L. Hall (Sunny Sarasota Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent group and great early R/B songs. If you like this I would suggest you purchase the Atlantic Records album of the Clovers titled " The Clovers, Down in the alley". This CD has all of the great tracks plus more than the 'Very Best". Check it out!
