Happy Clappers are a house studio project from the UK, featuring Chris Scott, Graeme Ripley, Martin Knotts and Mark Topham with Sandra Edwards on vocals.
They scored two hits on Billboard’s Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, first in 1996 with “Can’t Help It” (which went to number two) and “I Believe” (as Chris Cox Vs. Happy Clappers), which went all the way to number one in 2003.
“I Believe” was a top 10 hit in England in 1995, but was never released in the U.S. until Cox picked up the track and remixed it. “I Believe” had actually been released four times in the UK prior to the Chris Cox remix, peaking at numbers 21, 7 and 28 between 1995 and 1997. The initial release in 1994 did not yield mainstream chart success.
Other UK hits: “Hold On” (number 27 in 1995), “I Cant Help It” (number 18 in 1996) and Never Again (number 49 in 1996). |
