The legendary Tampa funk band TRAMA recorded one album for CAT Records under Henry Stone’s T.K. Productions in 1977, and then broke up.

The original press of their record is now selling for up to $800.

After TRAMA ended, Donna Allen went on to tour with Gloria Estefan for nine years. She has charted internationally for her dance pop music, been sampled in hits, and landed movie placements. In 2013, she was chosen by team Adam Levine on The Voice.
