Disco

The Trammps stammten aus Philadelphia und waren eine der ersten Bands im Disco-Genre. Ihren ersten größeren Erfolg hatten sie in den USA 1972 mit Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart. Der erste echte Discosong, den sie herausbrachten, war Love Epidemic (1973). Am bekanntesten ist wohl ihr Disco Inferno (1976), das 1977 auf dem Soundtrack zu Saturday Night Fever erschien und im Mai 1978 in den Billboard-Charts auf Platz 11 kletterte.
Andere Hits waren u. a. Hold Back the Night (1975) und That's Where the Happy People Go (1975). 1977 veröffentlichten die Trammps den Song The Night the Lights Went Out, als Erinnerung an den Stromausfall in New York City am 13. Juli 1977. Am 19. September 2005 wurde Disco Inferno in die Dance Music Hall of Fame aufgenommen.


Disco Inferno is the fourth studio album by American soul-disco group, The Trammps. The success of the title track, featured in Saturday Night Fever, likely overshadowed the remainder of the album. Disco Inferno, the second full-length the Trammps released in 1976, features five other cuts, all of which are laced with the kind of Philly soul-rooted elegance heard on the group's biggest hit, with the likes of Norman Harris, Allan Felder, Ron Kersey, and Ron Tyson involved with the songwriting, arranging, and production. "I Feel Like I've Been Livin' (On the Dark Side of the Moon)" was the only other charting single, but at least two others -- especially the opening "Body Contact Contract" -- deserved regular rotation.
