MC Rockin’ Rusty Stone, from the legendary Grammy Award Winning Band The Trammps who’s song “Disco Inferno” was included in the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100, #1 on the Billboard Dance charts, and #16 in the UK. At its peak, the album broke records as the best-selling album of its time, surpassing even the giants like The Beatles and Michael Jackson.

The song Disco Inferno was covered by Tina Turner on her 1993 What’s Love Got To Do With It soundtrack, and by Cyndi Lauper on the 1998 A Night At the Roxbury soundtrack. In 2005 this song was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame.

While The Trammps were pioneers of the disco era, their sound also incorporated elements of soul, funk, and R&B. In addition to Disco Inferno, The Trammps had several other hits that cemented their place in music history. Songs like Hold Back the Night, which reached #5 on the UK Singles Chart, and That’s Where the Happy People Go, which climbed to #35 on the Billboard Hot 100, showcased their ability to energize dance floors. Their lively rendition of Judy Garland’s Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart and The Night the Lights Went Out also highlighted their talent and versatility.

Meet & Greet, Available All Day.
