http://www.earlyoungmusic.com/ Special thanks to Oprah Winfrey, Ricky Lake, Casey Kasem and PBS, for creating the best memories in the world!
This is the extend version. An very rare show with Earl and his group the Trammps jamming to the max and even Oprah gets up and dance! The bonus,, he's also featured on the Ricky Lake show! Earl Young (born in Philadelphia Pennsylvania ) is the drummer who rose to prominence in the early 1970s as part of the Philly Soul sound. Young is best known as the main drummer of Gamble and Huff's house band MFSB and founder / leader of The Trammps who had a hit record with "Disco Inferno". Young, along with Ronnie Baker and Norman Harris, was the owner of the Golden Fleece record label. The Harris, Baker, and Young team formed an important part of the labels regular studio group which was heart of MFSB. Later in the Mid 70's they went on to perform and record under the name "HBY" (Harris-Baker-Young) Earl was featured prominently on many Gamble and Huff recordings before moving on to Salsoul Records as part of the house band for the label. He recorded extensively at Philadelphia's Sigma Sound Studios. Young is seen as the inventor of the disco style of rock drumming (in Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes's "The Love I Lost" from 1973, hailed as the first disco record), he was the first to make extensive and distinctive use of the Hi Hat cymbal throughout the playing time of an R & B recording. This in turn led to DJ's favoring his recordings because they could hear the cymbal quite easily in their headphones as they "cued up" records to be mixed. In 1989, newcomers Ten City would seek out Young to work on their debut album for the House Music scene, and even commissioned Young for remixing of some of the material as well as session drumming. Hands like rapid fire pistols, feet as quick as Michael Jackson and voice that thunders like a bass drum. He is what he is - Forever Young!
