Biography

The Trammps are an American disco and soul band formed in 1972 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, featuring lead vocalist Jimmyâ¯Ellis, drummer Earlâ¯Young, and brothers Stanley Wade and Harold âDocâ Wade. Their breakthrough came with a 1972 cover of "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart", a topâ20 R&B hit that showcased Earlâ¯Youngâs bass voice. The group followed with "Love Epidemic" on Buddah Records in 1973, then signed to Atlantic Records. In 1975 they released The Legendary Zing Album, and their 1976 releases Where the Happy People Go and Disco Inferno cemented their reputation; "Disco Inferno" topped the U.S. Dance chart for six weeks in early 1977 and reached number 11 on the Billboard Hotâ¯100 after its inclusion on the Grammyâwinning Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Subsequent albums-including The Trammps III (1977), The Whole Worldâs Dancing (1979), and Mixinâ It Up (1980)-kept the group on R&B and dance charts, while "Hold Back the Night" hit number 5 in the United Kingdom in 1975. The groupâs impact was reaffirmed when "Disco Inferno" was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame in 2005, prompting a reunion performance. Lead vocalist Jimmyâ¯Ellis died on Marchâ¯8,â¯2012, at ageâ¯74, after battling Alzheimerâs disease.
