"Trapped" launched Colonel Abrams in 1985, the first single from his self-titled debut on MCA, written by Abrams with Marston Freeman. British producer Richard James Burgess put it together in 1984, and it's widely held up as a forerunner of house music, a proto-house track that pointed the way to garage house.
It owned the US dance charts, topping both the club-play and 12-inch sales tallies, and climbed to number three in Britain. Its pull reached well past the clubs, too: Mike Stock of Stock Aitken Waterman has said it weighed heavily on Rick Astley's 1987 smash "Never Gonna Give You Up".
