Mr. Ellis’s melodious voice overlaid the funky guitar riffs and driving bass and drums of the Trammps’s dance music. He sang lead on most of the group’s songs such as "Disco Inferno" and "That's Where the Happy People Go", backed by the bass singer Earl Young, and later harmonized with Robert Upchurch, who joined the band in the mid-1970s.
