Written, arranged and produced by Ron Baker, Norman Harris and Earl Young.
A track from the Trammps’ 1975 self-titled album released on 45 in the UK in 1977, where it appeared as the b-side of “Love Epidemic”.
The earliest incarnation of the Trammps came together in Philadelphia in the 60s as the Volcanos and they made a number of recordings fro the Arctic label. By the early 70s, they were the Trammps and made their recoding debut as such with “Zing Went The Strings Of My Heart” on the Buddah label – essentially updating an earlier version of the standard by the Coasters from 1958. The Trammps’ “Zing” made it to #64 in the US and #29 in the UK.
The group left Buddah and made a one-off album on the Golden Fleece label - run by Baker, Harris And Young – on which this track was featured. Then it was on to Atlantic where, in 1976 they scored a #53 hit with “Disco Inferno”. The song was repromoted, two years later, after its inclusion in the film, “Saturday Night Fever” and rose to #11.
