Double Claps On Records

[Guest]

Dunno if this has been covered before - if so - pls excuse me but can members pleas contribute memories of any tunes they remember from the 'Scene back in the day (and today) where dancers clapped twice on the same beat in a tune? 

 

I'd like to start the ball rolling with Chuck Jackson's 'I've Got The Need' below - always had a double clap on the first beat as I recall?

Good double clapping on Reaching For The Best on a Cleethorpes live podcast from 1975 that Pete Smith put up.  Starts at 11.38.

Hi Mark

 

This immediately came to mind - but it's perhaps a double clap on a double beat. I'll post it anyway.

I'll do better next time.

When you say double-claps do you mean clapping with two hands?

There's lots of clips on Youtube of people clapping with one hand (not at soul nights though).
