The Beau Marks

The Beau Marks

The Beau Marks were a Canadian rock music group formed in 1958 in Montreal, Quebec. Their first release, the April 1959 single "Rockin' Blues" b/w "Midnight Party", came out under the name The Del-Tones, but the group changed their name soon afterward in a nod to the Bomarc missile. Their breakthrough hit was "Clap Your Hands", which hit #1 in Canada and Australia, [ [http://wc05.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:fvfyxqugldke Biography] at Allmusic.com] and peaked at #45 on the US Billboard pop charts [ [http://wc05.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:fvfyxqugldke~T5 Billboard Singles] , Allmusic.com. Canadian Encyclopedia reports this chart placement at #29, which appears to be in error; Joel Whitburn's "Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits" has no listing for The Beau Marks.] and #15 on Cashbox.

Accessed October 26, 2007.] The tune was also released in French as "Frappe Tes Mains". Their debut, ten-track full-length came out in 1960; they appeared on "American Bandstand" and at a charity concert at Carnegie Hall soon afterwards. Two more albums followed before the group broke up in 1963; a 1968 reunion saw "Clap Your Hands" get a re-release.
