The Trammps

before gaining cult status in New York and Chicago.

Led by Minnesota-born keyboardist Hubert Eaves III and vocalist James D. Trane Williams, the group was formed in Brooklyn and would also score significant club hits with Keep On and Music, the most successful UK hit, Music, which peaked at number 23.

Before there was, as you mentioned, a Paul Hardcastle remix, which took You're The One For Me back into the UK charts at number 15 in 1985.

James D.

Yeah, it got to 15 on the US disco charts.

Double Exposure from Philadelphia scored a flurry of US disco hits in 76 with 10%, which was the first officially released 12-inch, Every Man and My Love Is Free, all from their album 10%, produced by Ron Baker, Norman Harris and Earl Young, three of the most important names in the disco pantheon.

In addition to their own group, The Tramps, they were the rhythm section for Philadelphia International Records, MFSB, playing on classics like The Love I Lost, Love is the Message, Before Defecting, to form the core of the South Soul Orchestra, who, like MFSB, recorded their own material whilst backing the labels, vocal groups and singers.

A lot of South Soul releases went under the radar here and weren't played at all outside of the specialist DJs playing either on the black music scene or the gay scene, both extremely underground at the time.

Stoned Age, pretty great soundtrack.

You got Blue Easter Cult, Don't Fear the Reaper and Burning for You, Foghat, Slow Ride, they're kind of ripping off, and Driving Wheel, Black Sabbath, Paranoid, T-Rex, Bang and Gone, Wild Cherry, Play That Funky Music, The Tramps, Disco Inferno, and more.

And so it's a fun, goofy, underrated, I think, stoner comedy.

which like I said, long overdue, great to see it get a lovely Blu-ray.

They are September by Earth, Wind & Fire, like I just said.
