The Trammps Biography

The Trammps' history and influence, however, stretch far beyond the seven minutes of that one track, as pioneers in the creation of Disco from the basis of early 1970s Soul music. The most popular Trammps lineup included dynamic lead singer Jimmy Ellis, vocalists Robert Upchurch, Harold Wade, and Stanley Wade, and legendary Philly drummer Earl Young. Originally formed as the Volcanos (a group that included producer/guitarist extraordinaire Ron Have Mercy Kersey), the most popular Trammps lineup included dynamic lead singer Jimmy Ellis, vocalists Robert Upchurch, Harold Wade, and Stanley Wade, and legendary Philly drummer Earl Young. They had their first hit with an uptempo, pre-disco dance rendition of Judy Garland's Zing Went the Strings of My Heart on Buddah Records in 1972. Ellis' dramatic, gravelly lead vocals, as well as the superb group harmonies, were showcased on this terrific tune. The song was included on the Legendary Zing Album, which also contained the modest midtempo smash Hold Back the Night.
