David Turner of Bass-Cauthen Funeral Home in Rock Hill, S.C., said the frontman for The Trammps died Thursday at a nursing home in the city. A cause of death was not immediately known.

The Trammps released “Disco Inferno” – the song with the popular refrain – in 1976. The song was featured in the iconic movie “Saturday Night Fever,” its soundtrack winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1978.

Turner said a memorial service will be held Friday in Charlotte, N.C.
