Lets go back, way back, back into time......

Three questions:

When did this behaviour [on the rare soul scene] start?

What records inspired it: I always think of 'Tainted Love' but there must be many more?

When did it fade out? I remember it at late Ritz all-dayers but not at Morecombe or Stafford but I could be wrong.

Anybody got a memory or two to share.

Earl Wright's - Thumb A Ride was good for a clap or two      

Is it just coincidence that these are nearly all tunes that were played and popular in the mid to late 70's ?

Clapping in the right place can make a live sound and clapping in the wrong place, intentionally or otherwise, can be amusing with friends in the know.

Couple more old school sounds that were good for a clap or two..     

   Bunny Sigler - Girl Don't Make Me Wait

   Frankie And The Classicals - What Shall I Do 

     

 

Frank Beverly & the Butlers -  If That's What You Wanted - good for a clap or two, and what a Top Drawer Sound..   

This was the Soul Source view 7 years ago;

 

Afternoon of the rhino 1500 people clapping in unison fabulous!!!

The Jewels     "We got Togetherness "    ,The six clap break!.   ( or was it seven?)
