The band's first major success was with their 1972 cover version of "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart". The first disco track they released was "Love Epidemic" in 1973. However, they are best known for their Grammy winning song, "Disco Inferno", originally released in 1976, becoming a UK pop hit and US R&B hit, then re-released in 1978 and becoming a US pop hit.
The music journalistRon Wynn noted "the Trammps' prowess can't be measured by chart popularity; Ellis' booming, joyous vocals brilliantly championed the celebratory fervor and atmosphere that made disco both loved and hated among music fans."
History
The history of the Trammps grew from the 1960s group the Volcanos, who later became the Moods. With a number of line-up changes by the early 1970s, the band membership included gospel-influenced lead singer Jimmy Ellis, drummer and bass singer Earl Young, with brothers Stanley and Harold 'Doc' Wade. Members of the Philadelphia recording band MFSB played with the group on records and on tour in the 70s with singer Robert Upchurch joining later. The group was produced by the Philadelphia team of Ronnie Baker, Norman Harris and Young, all MFSB mainstays who played on the recording sessions and contributed songs.
The refrain is not to be confused with the saying "Burn, Baby, Burn" which was used to refer to the Watts Riots.
Song information
The song was originally recorded by The Trammps in 1976 and released as a single. It was inspired by a scene in the 1974 blockbuster film The Towering Inferno in which a discotheque is caught in the blaze. According to Tom Moulton, who mixed the record, the Dolbynoise reduction had been set incorrectly during the mixdown of the tracks. When engineer Jay Mark discovered the error and corrected it, the mix had a much wider dynamic range than was common at the time. Due to this, the record seems to "jump out" at the listener. With "Starvin'" and "Body Contact Contract", it topped the U.S. Disco chart for six weeks in the late winter of 1977. On the other US charts, "Disco Inferno" hit number nine on the Black Singles chart, but it was not initially a significant success at pop radio, peaking at number fifty-three on the Billboard Hot 100.
Gilbertti started wrestling in 1991 wrestling his first match on November 20, 1991. He wrestled on the Georgiaindependent circuit, where he was best known for his time with Great Championship Wrestling (GCW) where he won several titles. He also had short stints with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and the United States Wrestling Association (USWA) in 1992.
World Championship Wrestling
Mid-card (1995–1996)
Gilbertti made his name in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as Disco Inferno, named after The Trammps' song and inspired by John Travolta's character Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever. Gilbertti credits Raven for the birth of the "Disco Inferno" character. He annoyed the audience with his disco dancer character, which included dancing on the way to the ring and during his matches, the punchline being that fans would chant "Disco sucks!".
"Disco Inferno" is a song by American rapper 50 Cent. It was released in November 2004 as the lead single from his second album, The Massacre. Although not as big as a global success as "In da Club", the lead single from his first album, "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'", it was still a success in America, peaking at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Background
Released in November 2004, the single debuted at #54 and peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming 50 Cent's fourth solo top-ten song on the chart and sixth overall. "Disco Inferno" was certified Gold by the RIAA. The song was produced by C. Styles & Bang Out. The song was also nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance at the Grammy Awards of 2006, but lost to Kanye West's "Gold Digger". This song is featured in DJ Hero.

However, they are best known for their Grammy winning song, "Disco Inferno", originally released in 1976, becoming a UK pop hit and US R&B hit, then re-released in 1978 and becoming a US pop hit.

History
The history of the Trammps grew from the 1960s group the Volcanos, who later became the Moods. With a number of line-up changes by the early 1970s, the band membership included gospel-influenced lead singer Jimmy Ellis, drummer and bass singer Earl Young, with brothers Stanley and Harold 'Doc' Wade. Members of the Philadelphia recording band MFSB played with the group on records and on tour in the 70s with singer Robert Upchurch joining later. The group was produced by the Philadelphia team of Ronnie Baker, Norman Harris and Young, all MFSB mainstays who played on the recording sessions and contributed songs.
Burn baby burn! Burn baby burn! Burn baby burn! Burn baby burn! Burnin'! To my surprise, yes! One hundred stories high People gettin' loose y’all gettin' down on the roof - Do you hear? (the folks are flaming)Folks were screamin' - out of control It was so entertainin' - when the boogie started to explode I heard somebody say Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno! Burn baby burn! - Burn that mother down Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno! Burn baby burn! - Burn that mother down Burnin'! Satisfaction (uhu hu hu) came in the chain reaction (burnin') I couldn't get enough, (till I had to self- destroy) so I had to self destruct, (uhu hu hu) The heat was on (burnin’), rising to the top, huh! Everybody's goin' strong (uhu hu hu) And that is when my spark got hot I heard somebody say Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno! Burn baby burn! - Burn that mother down, yoh! Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno! Burn baby burn! - Burn that mother down Burnin'! Up above my head I hear music in the air - I hear music! That makes me know there's (somebody) a promise somewhere Satisfaction came in a chain reaction - Do you hear? I couldn't get enough, so I had to self destruct, The heat was on, rising to the top Everybody's goin' strong That is when my spark got hot I heard somebody say Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno! (Aah yeah!) Burn baby burn! - Burn that mother down Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno!, yeah! Burn baby burn! - Burn that mother down x2 Burnin’! MUSIC TURN AROUND (12 bars) I just can't stop When (till) my spark gets hot Just can't stop When my spark gets hot MUSIC TURN AROUND (24 bars)
