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

My favorite group. "The Mighty DRAMATICS"

LJ Reynolds & Ron Banks were strong contributors to their success & were direct contributors to some very WARM NIGHTS during my single days 😜😜😜

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.

Listening to them makes me want to get on the floor.

The Dramatcs music 🎶 🎵 really bring back some beautiful memories growing up. Salute to the Dramatics .❤❤

Beautiful song,just love it, still listening in 2023❤❤

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.

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

There's nothing wrong with L.J. Reynolds leaving The Dramatics to do solo albums. Black men leave music groups to do solo albums. And they never come back to the music groups like Jeffrey Osborne of L.T.D., Lionel Richie of The Commodores, Michael Jackson of The Jacksons(RIP), Teddy Pendergrass of Harold Melvin And Blue Notes(RIP), Babyface of The Deele LOL. L.J. Reynolds came back to The Dramatics to do Somewhere In Time album in 1985. James Taylor of Kool And The Gang left the group to do solo albums. James came back to Kool And The Gang to do a album State Of Affairs in 1996. Bobby Brown left New Edition to do solo albums. Bobby came back to New Edition to do Home Again album in 1996.
