James T Ellis, who belted out the refrain Burn, baby burn! in a 1970s-era disco hit that is still replayed in modern sports arenas, has died. He was 74. The Trammps released Disco Inferno - the song with the popular refrain - in 1976. The song was featured in the movie Saturday Night Fever, its soundtrack winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1978. Disco Inferno soared up to number 11 on Billboard's Hot 100 on May 27, 1978.
