"Lovey Dovey" is a popular American rhythm and blues song originating in the 1950s and written by Memphis Edward Curtis and Ahmet Ertegun (the latter usually credited using his songwriter's pseudonym "Nugetre" - Ertegun spelled backwards). The record, which deals with the singer's relationship with women, is done in a light-hearted style. Numerous artists have recorded the song. The song's initial recording by The Clovers is probably the most notable, as it reached #2 for five weeks on the R&B charts in 1954. Cover versions have been recorded by: * Clyde McPhatter in 1959 * Buddy Knox in 1961 * Dick Dale in 1962 * The Coasters in 1964 * Bunny Sigler in 1967 ("Lovey Dovey"/"You're So Fine") * Otis Redding and Carla Thomas in 1967 (released as a single in 1968, following Redding's death) * Delbert McClinton in 1976, for the ''Genuine Cowhide'' album ==Legacy== Lyrics from "Lovey Dovey" were used in Steve Miller's 1974 chart-topping single, "The Joker". "The Joker" in turn was later sampled on another number one hit, "Angel" by Shaggy, giving Ahmet Ertegun credit as a songwriter on the latter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lovey Dovey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
