On this edition of Vinyl Vibes, Jack Hodgins catches up with Robert Upchurch from The Trammps to talk about his incredible journey from gospel singer to disco star.
Robert shares stories from Philadelphia’s R&B club scene in the early ’70s, signing his first record deal, and joining The Trammps in 1976. He also looks back on recording the disco classic Disco Inferno — the song that exploded around the world after featuring in Saturday Night Fever.
From playing Madison Square Garden to surviving the rise and fall of disco, Robert reflects on decades in music and why The Trammps are still performing today.
Don’t miss Robert Upchurch with Jack Hodgins on Vinyl Vibes, Sunday 24 May at 6pm on 2NURFM 103.7.
