The Beau-Marks
Clap Your Hands Once Again CD

Canada's contribution to Rock 'n' Roll was relatively small, but in the Beau-Marks they had a young, exciting band with genuine rockin' credentials.
They briefly lit up global charts in 1959 with their contagious hit Clap Your Hands followed by several others that also charted internationally.
The four piece played their own instruments and wrote their own songs, which gave them an edge over their Canadian peers. They released nine singles and two albums they released between 1959 and the end of 1962 - all of which are featured on this 30 track collection in their entirety.
It's really something of a surprise that they were not able to rack up as many international hits as they did locally - but they were indisputably one of the better groups to emerge from Canada in the 1950s, and were a big influence on many of those who followed.
