"Just as Adele’s 21 is aiming to tie the 24-week run atop Billboard’s Top 200 chart that the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack enjoyed 35 years ago, one of the artists featured on the latter has passed away. Jimmy Ellis, frontman of Philadelphia soul and disco band The Trammps, died yesterday following complications from Alzheimer’s disease. The singer died in a South Carolina nursing home at the age of 74.
Ellis was a founding member of The Trammps, who were born out of previous acts The Volcanos and The Moods. Once The Trammps’ original lineup was established in 1972, the band caught disco fever and racked up minor hits with songs like “Hold Back The Night” and “That’s Where The Happy People Go”."
