The Trammps had a few modest hits on Buddah: "Zing Went the Strings of My Heart," which featured Earl Young's seasoned bass voice on lead; "Penquin at the Big Apple"; and a disco version of the Dominoes' erotic "Sixty Minute Man."When their contract ended,
Young,
Ron Baker, and
Norman Harris left to form Golden Fleece Records, the Trammps' new home. After a few singles on Golden Fleece, which were not as good as the stuff here, Buddah brought in hired gun, disco mix master
Tom Moulton to redo the Trammps' singles and unreleased songs that resulted in
The Legendary Zing Album. The best of the rest include "Hold Back the Night," "Scrub Board" (an instrumental), and "Pray All You Sinners." ~ Andrew Hamilton
