Biography

When superstar rapper Snoop Dogg wanted to incorporate the '70s vocal vibe into a track on what would be his massively-successful Doggystyle album in 1993, he called on The Dramatics. It's no wonder--The Dramatics are one of the greatest vocal groups of R&B. In the group's more than three decades, The Dramatics have contributed more to the art of ensemble soul singing than just about anyone--and… Read more in Amazon's The Dramatics Store

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best R&B groups ever, July 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Best of 1974-80 (Audio CD)
Ron Banks' falsetto is second only to Phillip Bailey. L.J. Reynolds' voice has so much power and his interpretation is always on point. Their vocals and harmony is simply amazing. L.J. has certainly been an influence on some of the new jacks. (think Sisqo of Dru Hill) "Door to your heart" is my all time personal favorite of theirs. These homeboys are definitely underrrated.

4.0 out of 5 stars Detroit's "Other" Group, May 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Best of 1974-80 (Audio CD)
The Dramatics had the moves but the sound...man oh man! Stax stuff is fantastic but some of this stuff blows your mind! Go pass on the disco stuff but the slow tunes (especially, "Be My Girl")could help any couple wanting to conceive a child. Ron Banks' falsetto and LJ Reynolds gutsy voice are TOO good! Some stinkers but on the whole...FANTASTIC!
