The Trammps

Disco
Disco

The Trammps is a Disco act. Their sound grew out of Octave One and Tom Moulton. Those roots explain a lot about how The Trammps arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Tavares, Patrick Hernandez, McFadden & Whitehead, Rose Royce and First Choice, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Tina Turner, MFSB, Graham Parker, Cyndi Lauper and The Players Association, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 42 connections around The Trammps, reaching back through Octave One and forward to Tina Turner.
