Jimmy Ellis
1937-2012


The Sound of Philadelphia has today lost yet another of its great voices. This time, hitting us right here at the RWRepublic, as we have this time lost a personal friend.

The Lead singer for the Trammps', Jimmy Ellis's voice is well-known. Most of their hits, including DISCO INFERNO, featured his amazing tenor. Jimmy was also an amazing person. He will be missed by all whose life he touched.

Jimmy, may you rest in peace.
