Hand Clappin, Foot Stompin, Funky-Butt ... Live! is a live album by Geno Washington & the Ram Jam Band, released around December 1966.
Released in 1960, the album was reviewed by Allen Evans in the December 3 issue of New Musical Express. The saxophone playing by Lionel Kingham on "Land of a Thousand Dances" was also noted.[1]
It was an attempt to capture the atmosphere of the group's live stage show. Straight away it registered in the UK charts, peaking at number five and staying in the top ten for three months.[2] It was still in the Top 40 in July the following year.[3] For three years the album remained the biggest selling album for Pye Records.[4] In the United States, it was a Special Merit pick in the March 4, 1967 issue of Billboard.[5]
