 Notes  
     Disco's most soulful vocal group began in the 60's as The Volcanos,
     and were also called The Moods. Gene Faith was the original lead
     vocalist, with Earl Young, Jimmy Ellis, guitarist Dennis Harris,
     keyboardist Ron Kersey, organist John Hart, bassist Stanley Wade,
     and drummer Michael Thomas. But by the time they'd gone through
     various identities and emerged as The Trammps in the mid-70's, the
     lineup featured lead vocalist Ellis, Norman Harris, and Stanley
     Wade, Robert Upchurch and Young.
     A snappy revival of Judy Garland's 40's tune "Zing Went The Strings
     Of My Heart" was their first chart single, reaching number 17 on the
     R&B list in 1972. Despite their well-deserved reputation and
     boisterous, jubilant harmonies and sound, the Trammps were never a
     huge commercial success even during disco's heyday. Indeed, they had
     only three R&B Top Ten hits from 1972 through 1978, and such
     wonderful records as "Soul Bones", "Ninety-Nine And A Half", and "I
     Feel Like I've Been Livin' (On The Dark Side Of The Moon)" stiffed
     on the charts though they were beloved by club audiences and R&B
     fans alike.
     Their only huge hit was "Disco Inferno" in 1977, which was a number
     nine R&B single in 1977 and was also featured on the Saturday Night
     Fever soundtrack. Yet it missed the pop Top Ten, peaking at number
     11. But the Trammps' prowess can't be measured by chart popularity;
     Ellis' booming, joyous vocals brilliantly championed the celebratory
     fervor and atmosphere that made disco both loved and hated among
     music fans.
     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.
