5.0 out of 5 stars Forgit How Stoopid This Reviewer Is, Get This NOW, Baby!, July 16, 2001

This review is from: Be My Girl: Their Greatest Love Songs (Audio CD)

...it is literally jam packed. Each cut is a delicious serving of reeaaal R & Bee balladry! It has what I consider one of the Top Ten all time Greatest--I say Greatest!--Soul/R & Bee Vocal Ballads ever done! The great "Be My Girl" penned by Michael Henderson. But that's the last track on this collection. Which means unless you cheat and skip tracks, you have to WAIT TO HEAR IT....but worry not, y'all. You will better off playing it in sequence in its entirety. It has that "I'll put a hold on your check" catchline used in many a brother's 2 AM club rap (follow me, now) and the beggin' LJ Reynolds goin' into "aw, baaaa-bee, please, babybabybaby, please" vocal overdrive in the perfect "I Can't Get Over You"...it has another classic and perfect tune "Welcome Back Home". Why are you wasting time readin' this? You're missing out on a great, great CD....

5.0 out of 5 stars The Fabulous Dramatics!!, May 7, 2001

This review is from: Be My Girl: Their Greatest Love Songs (Audio CD)

One night- really late- I was driving home, and "Treat Me Like A Man" came on the radio. I knew it sounded familiar, but hearing it then seemed like something out of this world. I didn't know who it was that sang it or the name of the song, but I listened closely, and recognized LJ Reynold's voice, and knew then that it was "The Fabulous Dramatics"!

Other songs on this disk, "Just Shopping (Not Buying Anything)", "Be My Girl", "In The Rain", and others were the soundtrack to my life when I was growing up. This is when 'studio talent' was not even a term anyone was familiar with- the boys could sing! Their vocals and harmonization, are beautifully put together and is evident form the first song to the last.

The only song I was really missing was "Fell For You". Other than that, I have no complaints.....with the exception that my father now has my copy of this disk!!

I'd recommend this one for lovers, soul cats, and those who just enjoy damn good music!

5.0 out of 5 stars Indeed! This CD consist of their greatest love songs., January 4, 2003

This review is from: Be My Girl: Their Greatest Love Songs (Audio CD)

When I was a kid growing up in Detroit, the fellas and I would blow harmony on the street corner to the cuts the Dramatics had recorded. Songs like In The Rain, Door To Your Heart, Just Shopping (Not Buying Anything), I Can't Get Over You, Be My Girl, and Stop Your Weeping just to name a few, were songs we wore out listening to and singing. However, a complete CD of all the drama the Dramatics displayed must include this CD, and other hits such as Toast to a fool, Whatcha see is whatcha get, Fell for you, Get up get down, Thank you for your love, Hey You! get off my mountain, And I panicked, I dedicate my life to you, You're fooling you, Finger fever, Shake it well, Now you got me loving you, Beautiful people, Say the word, Never let you go, Somewhere in time, One love ago, When love is over, Trying to get over losing you, I cried all the way home, Me, myself and I, Good things don't come easy, I get carried away, I was the life of the party, After this dance, Don't make me no promises, Choosing up on you, Tune up, I'm in love (Dells/ Dramatics), and last but not least, Love is missing from our lives (Dells/Dramatics). Put together this CD (Be My Girl: Their Greatest Love Songs), and the other hits I recommended and you have a collection that would be priceless!
