    Do you remember the song by the Trammps Hold Back the Night? It’s from their 1975 The Legendary Zing Album. The single is a dynamite blend of disco and soul.

    The Trammps, those legendary pioneers of disco really know how to get the party started and Hold Back The Night is no exception. With that contagious beat and soaring vocals, this track creates an electrifying atmosphere that simply begs you to hit the dance floor. The beat and those horns just scream celebration.

    Now let’s talk about the lyrics. It’s a heartfelt anthem about love and longing all wrapped up in that wonderful disco sound. The way the lead vocalist passionately sings about not wanting to say goodbye to the night just connects with all of us who’ve ever experienced those magical moments under the stars. When that chorus hits, it’s like a call to arms for every soul out there to embrace the night!

    You’re listening to The Podcast Oldies Show. Hold Back the Night is today’s topic. I’m Gail Nobles. Whether you’re spending the single at a retro party or just jamming in your living room. remember The Trammps invite you to hold back the night.

    Today I'm thinking of The Sweet Inspirations welcome to the Podcast Oldies Show.

    The Sweet Inspirations are Dionne Warwick, Dee Dee Warwick. Doris Joy, and Cissy Houston. An R&B girl group mostly known for their work as backup singers on studio recordings for other R&B and rock artists. A founding member of the group was Dionne Warwick, who was later replaced by her aunt, Cissy Houston.

    The Sweet Inspirations was founded by former members of The Drinkard Singers, a long-running Gospel singing group whose membership included Cissy Houston (née Drinkard), mother of Whitney Houston, and Lee Warwick, who was Cissy's sister and the mother of Sweet Inspirations members Dee Dee and Dionne Warwick.

    As a backup group, the Sweet Inspirations was in high demand among producers, publishers, artists, and songwriters in the early 1960s. The original lineup included Doris Troy and the two Warwick sisters, Dionne and Dee Dee. Both Troy and Dionne Warwick enjoyed solo careers with hits in 1963, "Just One Look" and "Don't Make Me Over" respectively, on which the Sweet Inspirations can be heard.

    The group saying they song entitled Sweet Inspiration. Sweet Inspiration is the title of a Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham composition written for, and first recorded in 1967 by, the Sweet Inspirations. It became a Top 20 hit reaching #18 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the spring of 1968.
