Throwback Thursdays: The Clovers

DateThursday, August 6, 2015 at 9:25AM

Not sure anyone has called this out, but Steve Miller straight up ripped off The Clovers. Their opening lines from "Lovey Dovey" (1954) can be heard in Miller's "The Joker" (1973). But to be fair, "Lovey Dovey" was made famous by The Clovers but originally written by Memphis Edward Curtis and Ahmet Ertegun. Small world.
