    Arguably the most underrated group in modern music "History". Never received the fame nor the fortune they so richly deserved.

      I've only heard of them being underrated from you, they were one of the most, if not the most popular soul singing groups in their time.

      Very underrated. Musically and performance wise they’re up there with The Temptations. They were often called The Baby Temptations when they first came out. Much respect and love to All members of The Dramatics.

      @skinnyman1434 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Wee Gee's voice roared and LJ's soared. Do yourself a pleasure if you haven't already and pull up David Brandon Drummer with Dramatics. It's a full length concert,but it's broken up into about 5 separate videos. Winzell Kelly had taken Squirrel's place and the Brother's were all in great form. Ron's rendition of "Lady in Red".......a must view for any REAL Dramatic fan.

      Dramatics are my Favorites, even now I enjoy playing their CDs (espec. while I'm driving) & going on You Tube. I felt so sad when Willie Ford died. I loved his chocolate self, big eyes & deep voice. The whole group was, "BADDDD" I think he was born in LaGrange. GA. I live in GA also. Ms. Arnita Vintes

    One of the most cherished memories of my life when I saw them at The Total Experience in Los Angeles!!! Bobby Womack was in the audience and they invited him on stage…you talk about a show…everyone was singing and dancing near their seats …LJ in a jokingly manner told Bobby give us our Mic back you’re stealing the show…I had a poster of them and got all signatures except Ron’s!!! Precious Memories!!! 🥲

    Have just come across this, and glad I did, it's absolutely stunning. Ron, LJ, Wee Gee, Lenny and Willie. I will always love these guys, thanks for the music and such great memories. Impossible to select a highlight, but Ron's sweet falsetto on 'One love ago' is rivalled and possibly even surpassed when Lenny seamlessly steps forward to take the lead on 'Be my girl'. Thanks for posting, love it! Not even mentioned Wee Gee's rasping vocals, love it when he almost attacks the mike.
