Wow! I just downloaded some songs from them last night without even knowing this and remarked about how great and powerful his voice was.
Earlier this week my brother said the Trammps would make a great Unsung. I agree.
R.I.P. Brotha.
One of my faves from them is Body Contact Contract, but I cannot find it. Here are some other sweet Philly sounds.

I read that James had been active until 2008 when he got sick with Alzheimer's and had to be put in a nursing home so hopefully he's resting in peace. | |

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |
