Alex Hill wrote a number of these in addition to On Revival Day:

Let's Have a Jubilee, recorded by Alex Hill and Louis Prima
Shout, Sister, Shout, recorded by Clarence Williams and The Boswell Sisters
Keep a Song in Your Soul, recorded by many including Jack Teagarden 
and Bojangles

Dancing the Devil Away, written by Bert Kalmar, Otto Harbach and 
Harry Ruby in 1927, may also be one of these. The Arden-Ohman 
orchestra recorded it in 1930.
