Harry,

I never heard of Clancy being with the World's Greatest JB.  In fact, I'd almost bet the farm that he never was.  

You oughta do yourself a favor and get the album.  I hope it has been re-issued on CD.  IMHO- their "Hark The Herald Angels Swing" is one of the best Christmas recordings ever made.  

--Bob
