- Practice Makes Perfect (Roberts-Gold) by Bob Chester & his Orchestra, vocal by Al Stuart
This top-ten hit was the most successful single release by the Chester band and was co-written by a young Ernest Gold, future Oscar winner (score for “Exodus”) and father of singer Andrew Gold by singer-wife Marni Nixon.

If this "B-side" by the Bob Chester Orchestra was their greatest hit, then what was on the A-side? I've heard this song before, but my reaction today is that it was a mighty weak entry in the Hit Parade. The tune is bland and takes no chances, the arrangement on this recording is unimaginative, and the song doesn't have much of a hook. If this was the only recording I'd ever heard from this band, I don't think the Bob Chester Orchestra would be a name I would remember. But another they did is a mind-blower. For those of you who love discovering new favorites on TH-cam, let me commend to your attention "Clap Hands on the Afterbeat" -- a wildly inventive tune unlike any other of the swing era. It's as much a stadium rock-'em stomp-'em anthem as a prewar lindy-hop dance number. Writing about music is a little like dancing about golf, so let me just say go listen to it. "Practice Makes Perfect" may have been the band's biggest hit, but "Clap Hands on the Afterbeat" is genuinely memorable.
