Harry James - Yes, Indeed!

And the famous Tommy Dorsey "Yes, Indeed!", too!

How could I forget? Fabulous R'n'B band The Treniers has infectious handclapping on most of their songs. Also, they rock, they roll and they swing!

Buster Smith - Kansas City Riffs (1959)

[Zev]

Bobby "Mr Blues" Merrell - I Ain't Mad At You
Earl Palmer's Party Rockers - Johnny's House Party (parts 1 & 2)
Riff Ruffin - That Night

(these are mostly R&B so if you don't have any Treniers you won't have these either)

Add on - The broadcast version of THE WEEKEND OF A PRIVATE SECRETARY by Glenn Miller has a hot trumpet solo in the middle with complex hand clapping behind it.

Good Johnny Mercer song which Mildred Bailey recorded.

*The Bailey version employs the word "darkie", unusual for 1940 in pop tune. The Miller version uses a different lyric in that spot.

[Haydn]

"Loose Wig" by Lionel Hampton as well.

That's an interesting one. There are hand-claps at the start of the track, but they are much quieter than on most tracks (such as Hampton's Lavender Coffin) and sound almost embarrassed in comparison.

[Haydn]
