Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie! is a 1961 (see 1961 in music) studio album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald, with a jazz quartet led by the pianist Lou Levy. The album is considered Ella's greatest small group studio recording, the lush orchestras that she so frequently recorded with at this time sometimes had a stifling effect on her vocal exuberances.
