Eventually, they became the first of the traditional late '40s vocal groups to make the transition to R\u0026amp;B and rock.\u003cbr\u003eThis typically excellent Rhino anthology has all their best work, including the sublime mini-playlet \"Your Cash Ain't Nothin' But Trash,\" the inventively arranged title tune, and the hilarious paean to excess \"Nip Sip.\" And don't miss \"Blue Velvet\" (yes, the same song immortalized by Bobby Vinton), which the Clovers render with a delicacy (and just a hint of irony) that's almost breathtaking--imagine what David Lynch could have made of it.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51027907674399,"sku":"075678231223","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/05daae2482ccaec0418a64e83f3122e3.jpg?v=1778003899","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/down-in-the-alley-the-best-of-the-clovers","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
