  • The Trammps were an American disco and soul band, who were based in Philadelphia and were one of the first disco bands. They visited the Toppop studios in the Netherlands many times.
    They are best known for their Grammy winning song, "Disco Inferno", originally released in 1976, becoming a UK pop hit and US R&B hit. After inclusion in the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, the song was re-released in 1978 and became an international pop hit worldwide.
    The band's first major success was with their 1972 cover version of "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart”
    It reached # 12 in the Dutch Top 40 on 20 December 1975.
    The lead vocals are from Jimmy Ellis and the bass vocals are by Earl Young.
    This Toppop performance was first broadcast on 28 November 1975.

    True story. I spent my Summers at a Jersey shore town SeaSide Heights. I first saw the Trammps at a club in my home town. So I'm at this club in SeaSide watching the Trammps... They go on break, Ya can't get a drink at the bar 'cause there are too many people there. So I go to a place on the Boardwalk to get a beer..... Hanging out minding my own business, I start looking around, AND to the left of me sitting there having beers were the singers from the Trammps.... We said hi!!! I was kool then freeked out when they said back to the next set. I WAS THERE>>>>>>>>>>>> This was 1976.
