THE TRAMMPS

The Trammps began in Philadelphia in 1972 featuring vocalist, Jimmy Ellis, Harold 'Doc' Wade, Stanley Wade and Earl Young and traveled with as many as 11 members, culled from the ranks of the busiest and best musicians, many of whom also played for Gamble and Huff's Philly International and later for Vince Montana's Salsoul Orchestra. The Trammps first recording, "Zing Went The Strings Of My Heart", a remake of a tune originally recorded by Judy Garland in 1943, was recorded at the legendary Sigma Sound Studio's in 1972 and was a bona fide chart hit!

Within the next few years, Buddah Records recorded several of The Trammps hits, including "Hold Back The Night"  and "Where Do We Go From Here" in 1974.

In mid-1975, The Trammps became one of Atlantic Records hottest Disco recording Acts. Their first Album with Atlantic yielded tracts "Hooked For Life" and "Where The Happy People Go" which became their biggest Pop hit to date and continues to rank as one of the most recognizable songs of its era!  Other Trammps' hits on Atlantic included "Disco Party", "Body Contact", "I feel Like I've Been Livin'(On the Dark Side Of The Moon)", "The Night The Lights Went out" and "Soul Bones" which featued a harmonica solo by Stevie Wonder. The Pinnacle of The Trammps career was their Atlantic sound track, "Disco Inferno". In 1977 "Disco Infereno" was the hottest song on the international Disco scene and the Group was recognized as the best performing group by one of new York's most popular Club's, 2001 Space Oddesey, the location for the motion picture, Saturday Night Fever. The Sound track for the movie, which naturally included "Disco Inferno", was the industry's biggest selling album to date and won The Trammps a Grammy Award in 1979.
