The Dramatics, ”Soul Train” performance of one of my favorites from them, “Welcome Back Home” edited and dubbed with the track from their album, “10½” (1980).
These are some bad-ass brothers. Everytime I hear their music..I feel so good. Sometime, I almost wanna cry. They just bring that emotion. R.I.PARADISE, Ron💖😇
Listening to The Dramatics makes me wish I had a time machine I want to go back in time the soul music of the seventies is awesome and The Dramatics are awesome❤❤❤🎉
Ron Banks lead of the Dramatics singer on this single hit, gave his best performance on Soul Train in the early 1980's!! This generation cannot even compare to this performance! Bernard Hendricks
The thing about this is that it’s such beautiful music that it brings you back to a time when life was a little more innocent and less complex…makes you think about people that aren’t with us anymore… sadness and happiness at the same time… That’s why this music goes STRAIGHT TO THE HEART…That’s entertainment.
The Dramatics, just loved them. Ron was truly something else, and it wasn't just his wondrous first tenor, so much more: style, grace, charisma, humour and humility, he had it all in abundance. The seamless interchange with Lenny, they were made for each other. Lenny, it's all been said, what a voice and seriously underused in my humble opinion. This is an interesting lineup of the group. Obviously, no Wee Gee or LJ, but bass lynchpin Willie is there along with group choreographer Squirrel (love those moves), and new boy Craig Jones. Craig featured on the album 'The Dramatic Way', LJ was with the group for the 10 1/2 album from which this is lifted. Both albums came out in 1980 on MCA Records. Incidentally the group were down to four for 'The Dramatic Way' with no Squirrel or LJ. Same again in 1982 for ‘New Dimension’, after which Craig left.Anyway, thanks for the music, and Rest in Peace, Ron, Lenny, Willie and Wee Gee, gone but never forgotten.
I Love! Love! The Mighty Dramatics. Seeing Ron, Lenny, and Willie(Sugar Bear) bring tears to my eyes. Larry is still here(who can dance his butt off). It's also great to see Craig.
This song is sooo meaningful it hurts. Dramatics sang the most emotional, true songs. They were and are out of sight and levels above most guy groups. Yes I said it. ❤
The Dramatics was a phenomenal group from the 70s. I remember them from Stax record days What you see is what you get , through the 70s they was one of the many groups of that era .love their style of music. THANKS BROTHERS FOR SHARING YOUR MUSIC WITH US!!! RICHARD SHACKELFORD
Kudos to the Dramatics Group, Singers, Musicians & Writers. UNSUNG! Rest in Heavenly Peace those members who have passed on. Gone never Forgotten. ☮️✝️🎤🎵🔝❣️
WeWe Howard (one of the original singers) was probably the best overall singer; he could hit notes the rest of the group couldn't not hit. He led on their first hit: What you see is what you get and in the rain.
I love all of the Dramatics each of them had there on way of bringing their own trajectory to their music 🎶 🎵 ❤️ it was amazing to listen to them all. Listen to the live from Houston video it shows you how well they were keeping it together.
I grew up with a crush on RON BANKS°! ACTUALLY I HAD AN UNCLE NAME CLIFFORD JACKSON OF HOT SPRINGS, ARK.HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND!!!!!THIS WAS HIS MUSIC, AND MINE JUST REMIND ME OF HIM MISS YOU UNK!!!!!!REST ON,I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN ONE DAY NO RUSH LOL!!!!!
Love ❤️ this classic beautiful 🤩 song 🎵 by this Amazing 🤩 R&B Singing Group!!! The Dramatics!!! Yyyesss Sir Welcome 🤗 Back Home 🏡 When Music 🎶 was Music 🎵
I love great singing and great groups. I've listened to a lotta music. I've heard many great groups. In my opinion, there has never been a group of guys that had such a great and complimentary sound. Detroit's Dramatics are at the top of the Pyramid. 💥💥💥
I would say so myself LJ Reynolds and Ron Banks were the key vocalist behind the Dramatics, I personally think I sound like Ron Banks 🎵🎵 I can sing most of his notes 💯💯👍
@@bobbie143bc The temptations didn’t had no competition back in the 60’s and The temptations was going through a lot of transition since David and Eddie left the group, they’re forever changing, my late father use to say that’s the only group that Lise a member and kept getting number one hits. Saw the Temptations back in 1973 had that masterpiece album out then orchestra and all as king with the Spinners “it’s a Shame” song. Eddie Kendricks just left and Damon Harris replace him. Phillipe Wynn lead singer showed the hell out and Damon Harris sang that song call “love woke me up this morning “ paid twelve dollars for two, wow what a concert full orchestra
The Dramatics Welcome Back Home song is a classic. Nice performance in Soul Train television show. Where is L.J. Reynolds? RIP Ron Banks. RIP Lenny Mayes. RIP Willie Ford. L.J. Reynolds of The Dramatics, The Jacksons(RIP Michael Jackson), Luther Vandross(RIP), Florence Ballard of The Supremes(RIP), Beyonce Knowles are my favorite black music singers.
@@sygmooreBeyonce Knowles is one of my favorite black music singers. Beyonce Knowles is just as good as black music singers i named that i like. Why do you hate Beyonce?
In 1980 while everyone else was disco crazy, the Dramatics weren’t afraid to be smooth, and that’s why they’re one of my all time favorite male groups
Yyyesss Sir!!!! Boom 💥 The Dramatics!!!
Exactly! They stayed true to the game.
Amen 🙏🙌🙌👏🙂🤗👏
Amen and Amen same here 🤗👏🙏👏🙌😊💛
Amen and Amen same here 🙏 🙌 ❤ 👏 😊😂❤

They were smooth as silk. ‘I Only Meant to Wet My Feet’ was my anthem.
I didn't know they sang a version of that. I only know it sung by the Whispers. I'll have to look it up.
