1976 single by the Trammps
Side-A label of the 1977 US vinyl single
"Disco Inferno " is a song by American disco band the Trammps from their 1976 fourth studio album of the same name . With two other cuts by the group it reached number-one on the US Billboard Dance Club Songs chart in early 1977, but had limited mainstream success until 1978, after being included on the soundtrack to the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever Billboard Hot 100[1] [2]
It was also notably covered in 1993 by American-born singer Tina Turner on What's Love Got to Do with It [3] Cyndi Lauper on the A Night at the Roxbury [4] Damien Lovelock , Hardsonic Bottoms & Vicki Shepard.
Song information
The song was originally recorded by the Trammps in 1976 and released as a single. It was supposedly inspired by a scene in the 1974 blockbuster film The Towering Inferno [5] Tom Moulton , who mixed the record, the Dolby noise 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.[6] Billboard Hot 100[7]
"Disco Inferno" gained much greater recognition when the 10:54-minute album version was included on the soundtrack to the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever Atlantic Records , the track peaked at number 11 in the U.S. during the spring of 1978, becoming the Trammps' biggest and most-recognized single. Later, it was included in the Saturday Night Fever musicalPlayers Association in March, 1978 on the Vanguard record label both in 7" and 12" format. It was produced by Danny Weiss and also issued as a track on their 1979 LP Born to Dance .
On September 19, 2005, "Disco Inferno" was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame .[8]

Critical reception
The Daily Vault felt that "Disco Inferno" "has a dated title to begin with and the arrangement's enthusiasm doesn't live up to Turner's singing".[14] Music Week Trammps hit. Having said that, it is a highly commercial song and Tina's one-of-a-kind voice has many admirers, so another big hit is in prospect."[15] People Magazine Aretha ."[16]
