The Trammps are an American {{disco}} and {{soul}} band, who were based in Philadelphia and were one of the first disco bands. The history of the Trammps grew from the 1960s group the Volcanos, who later became the Moods.
Their debut chart entry came via an upbeat cover version of the standard "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart", which became a top 20 US R&B chart hit in 1972.
Their first few recordings were released on Buddah Records, including "Hold Back the Night", which was a hit on the Billboard R&B chart in 1973, before a re-release saw it climb in the UK two years later. Several R&B hits followed during a stay with Philadelphia International subsidiary Golden Fleece (run by Baker-Harris-Young) before they signed to Atlantic Records. Their single "Disco Inferno" (1976), which was included on the Grammy Award-winning Saturday Night Fever: The Original Movie Sound Track in 1977, reached No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in May 1978.
Other major hits included "Hold Back the Night" (1975) (UK No. 5) and "That's Where the Happy People Go" (1976). In late 1977, the Trammps released the song "The Night the Lights Went Out" to commemorate the electrical blackout that affected New York City on July 13–14, 1977.
