(with biography below if available)

The Trammps is an American disco and soul band, who were based in Philadelphia and were one of the first disco bands. The band's first major success was with their 1972 cover version of "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart". The first disco track they released was "Love Epidemic" in 1973. However, 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, then re-released in 1978 and becoming a US pop hit. Earl Young's Trammps still continue to record and as of August 2014 have released "Get Your Lovin While You Can" written by the Steals brothers renowned for their Philly hits such as "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love" for The Detroit Spinners.
