The Trammps sono uno dei gruppi vocali più soul nel panorama della musica Disco. Iniziano la loro carriera negli anni sessanta chiamandosi prima The Volcanos poi The Moods. La formazione base è composta da: Jimmy Ellis cantante, Stanley Wade cantante e bassista, Earl Young cantante e batterista, Harold Wade e Robert Upchurch cantanti.
Il loro primo disco fu "Zing went the strings of my heart" del 1972, cover di una melodia di successo di Judy Garland, registrato nei leggendari Sigma Soun Studio di Filadelfia. Seguirono "Hold back the night" e "Where do we go from here" con cui, nel 1974, scalarono le classifiche R&B americane. Nel 1975 i Trammps entrano a far parte dell'etichetta Atlantic Records, diventando uno dei gruppi più riconoscibili nel panorama della Disco.
Di quegli anni sono canzoni come "Hooked for life" e "Where the happt people go", a cui si aggiungono "Disco party", "Body contact" e molte altre. Ma il grande successo arriva con la pubblicazione di Disco Inferno (1976), il cui singolo omonimo viene incluso nella colonna sonora del film Saturday Night Fever. Nel 1977 Disco inferno diventa la canzone più rappresentativa sulla scena internazionale, del mondo della discoteca e regala ai Trammps un Grammy Award nel 1979.
English:
The Trammps began in the early 1970's with their first hit "Zing Went The Strings Of My Heart", released on Buddah Records. "Zing" was originally recorded by Judy Garland in 1943 and became a hit for The Trammps reaching number 17 on the R & B Chart and number 64 on the Pop Charts in the summer of 1970. The group consisted of Jimmy Ellis, Stanley and Harold Wade, John Hart Jr. and Earl Young. During the mid '70's, John Hart Jr. was replaced by Robert Upchurch and the group began to travel with as many as twelve members selected from the ranks of the busiest and best musicians on the Philadelphia music scene.
On Buddah Records, The Trammps released several singles including "Pray all you Sinners" and "Hold Back The Night" which became number 10 on the R & B Charts in the mid '70's.
The Trammps eventually found their way to Golden Fleece Records and released hits such as "Love Epidemic", "Trusting Heart" and "Where Do We Go From Here" which reached number 44 on the R&B Chart in mid 1974.
After Golden Fleece, in mid 1975, The Trammps joined Atlantic Records and in 1976 released their first album on Atlantic, "Where The Happy People Go". The "Where The Happy People Go" album included hits such as "Hooked For Life" and "That's Where Happy People Go", which became a pop hit at number 27. Other Trammps hits on Atlantic included "Disco Party". "I Feel Like I've Been Livin' - (On The Dark Side Of The Moon)", "Body Contact Contract" and "The Night The Lights Went Out" which refers to the 1977 New York City blackout.
By far the biggest hit for The Trammps was "Disco Inferno" which was included on the soundtrack for the movie "Saturday Night Fever". In 1978, The Trammps won a Grammy Award for their contribution to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Throughout the '70's, The Trammps worked both nationally and internationally with several tours to England, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Germany and throughout South America. In the early '80's, the group continued to tour with vocalist Jimmy Ellis, Harold Wade, Stanley Wade, Robert Upchurch and band.
In the mid 1980's, Jimmy Ellis discontinued his live performances and was replaced by Jimmy Williams, lead vocalist on the disco hit "Ten Percent of Something is Better Than 100 Percent of Nothing At All" with Double Exposure.
Since the mid 1980's up to the present, the nucleus of the group, consisting of Jimmy Williams, Robert Upchurch, Stanley Wade and Harold Wade continued to perform the group's hits both nationally and internationally. Currently, the group tours with a six piece band including rhythm guitar, lead guitar, two keyboards and
