The Trammps - Hold Back The Night

Here's our 1992 remake of the Philly classic. The Trammps were on tour with my guitar player, Erwin Keiles, and I cut five tracks with them, this one, along with "Feet Don't Fail Me Now", "Conversation", "My Love Is Free" and "Ten Per Cent". We also did another version of this song, "Hold Back The Night", as a sort of duet along with pop group KWS, which charted top thirty. But here's the version we did of just The Trammps, remaking "Hold Back The Night"

Give me the 70's anyday

[@dipeters2007]

No music like this today 😕

[@Retroscoop]

To all those who glorify the depressive or agressive lyrics of rap, now THIS is what music should be about, bringing sunshine and goosebumps and feel good moments. The Trammps, the Gibson Brothers, Tavares, the Stylistics.... So, still anyone around who wants to accuse me of hidden racism ??? Because, apparantly, whoever makes fun of rap 'music" quickly gets this "argument" shoved under the nose...

[@warrenalexander5285]

I listened to this and I was a teenager again.

[@juliemckinney9650]

How can people live without tunes?? I can't.

[@shelleysayer4834]

I love soul music. I grew up with this music. Nothing else like it😃

[@lucibee1163]

Ktf ❤️

[@cjmiller974]

Nostalgie, ooooooooohhhh kon ik maar terug gaan naar die tijd. das muziek...

[@TrottersAirways-rc]

This version is even better than the original !!!!

[@ronylauwers8140]

Soul music a joy for all times... so many excellent bands in those days...

[@MrWhitt1234]

wow - memories .

[@ChrisMum]

Another fantastic song from the 70's when there were good songs that made us feel happy......those were the days when we had a great time at the discos!! Happy days, I wish I could turn back the clock........glad to see there are a few more on here who appreciate great tunes as well.

[@sharond5079]

I so wish you could also turn that clock back and stop it so all of todays youth could have a taste of our era just beautiful music no rudeness total respect is what we got x

[@ChrisMum]

Sharon just noticed your comment when I came on here for a listen to some good old, proper thumping tunes. You're right, life was simpler way back then, the world was certainly a much gentler place as well. Respect is all but gone sadly.....I despair with what's going on in the world today, I'm 63 and glad I'm not in my 20's or 30's any more. Glad you enjoy the songs of the 70's too.

[@maryburt6846]

I just turned 67 last Thursday. I lived the 70s...met the love of my life, sang so many of the 70 love songs, and have never looked back.

[@sabinevandaele4175]

no smartphones , but good music that made us feel happy

[@TheOriginalDaveJ]

Soul, Motown & Reggie has been the backbone of my life. I grew up with this music filling the air and its never left me. Such wonderful uplifting music.

One of the great songs by the Trammps. The lyrics, for me, are more meaningful now than ever. A great "re-cording"
