LOVE IT!| FIRST TIME HEARING The Dramatics - Be My Girl REACTION

[@paulwalker9421]

Delfonics - "Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time", Stylistics -"You Make Me Feel Brand New"

[@db4982]

'Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time' is also one of my favorites from that era. Wonderful suggestion!

[@fuckit1967]

throw some David Ruffin,Eddie Kendricks,Johnny Bristol,in there,i could go on & on

[@Tansilanta]

Great suggestions. I’d add “ Children of the Night.” To that list.

[@wandamanning9198]

Yesss

[@susanliltz3875]

The Chi-Lites “ Oh Girl” great voices, harmonies

[@db4982]

I was almost going to suggest 'Oh Girl' until I thought about 'Tired of Being Alone.' But I'm glad you suggested it. That harmonica!!

[@randyallbee1173]

Love that tune!

[@stanwilliams7790]

[@VincentEEpps]

Every member of "The Dramatics" could sing, but the falsetto, Ron Banks, was the dude for me, he always could set it off.

[@casey4602]

Exactly. The deep baritone and Ron Banks falsetto are amazing. My fave is the end when they're pleading, consider me and won't you please be my girl.

[@andymageen5308]

Dang, don’t you just miss those nights when you could slow dance to a track like this with a sweet honey to hold on to. This generation don’t know what they are missing ✌️

[@stanwilliams7790]

They are learning..this is hope

[@d-nice5960]

Next song should be " You're the best thing in my life" by the Dramatic. The falsetto is crazy in this one, you guys will love it.

[@bjware511]

Awww Suki Suki, you kids done pulled up a R&B soul classic.

[@cla9085]

The Dramatics have MANY great songs!

[@db-gb5xi]

Some other soul groups to check out, Staple singers - I’ll take you there, respect yourself, if you’re ready (come go with me), let’s do it again, touch a hand, make a friend; Stylistics - people make the world go round, break up to make up, you are everything, i’m stone in love with you, you make me feel brand new; Chi-lites - oh girl, (for god’s sake) give more power to the people; The undisputed truth - smiling faces sometimes; The spinners - it’s a shame; The o’jays - for the love of money, family reunion, stairway to heaven, emotionally yours (lovely cover of a Bob Dylan song).

[@paulwalker9421]

yes yes

[@Wordsmyth8]

The best song by The Dramatics is In the Rain. It’s fantastic, plus it even includes sounds of thunder. ⛈️

[@judydalton3812]

i agree

[@surlechapeau]

as you may know, they reacted to that one May 28, 2022 .

[@brianharris6912]

"In The Rain" is a great song no doubt. It just doesn't compare to "Be My Girl". Sorry it just doesn't.😢

[@Radentstwo]

"I Can't Get Over You" in my book

[@Wordsmyth8]

@@surlechapeau I didn’t know that. Thanks.

[@frankticasdroppinknowledge2363]

You need to listen to "Hey You! (Get Off My Mountain)", "Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get", and "Just Shopping". Those are great Dramatic songs you'll definitely love!

[@Radentstwo]

They reacted to "Whatcha See is Watcha Get"

[@kylehopkins1180]

They have so many great songs. Toast to the fool. Fall in Love Lady Love. Hey You get off my Mountain. Fell for you and so many more!

[@rocjackson5975]

Exactly!! They have a ton of great songs! They are on the same par with The Temptations and The OJays!

[@macobrew]

They're rendition of 'Me and Mrs. Jones' is to die for!!

[@susanliltz3875]

The Staple Singers!!!!! 1 .I’ll Take You There 2. Respect Yourself Mavis Staples has the greatest soulful, strong voices!! You loved it when they performed with the group The Band!!

[@terrencebailey7567]

Before I let you go

[@horacerobinson7149]

Thanks for reaching to my favorite song by the Dramatics and that’s saying something because that catalog is something special. Here’s a couple of Soul Train suggestions for the Dramatics I’m Going By The Stars In Your Eyes(1975) Me And Mrs Jones (1975) Thanks again Jay And Amber for taking me back to the summer of 1976 with Be My Girl 😊

[@kevinking8513]

Prince's "Insatiable " is falsetto throughout the song. Amber and Jay will blush to the lyrics.

[@clarencewalker3925]

"Stay In My Corner" and "Love Is Blue" by The Dells.

[@terrencebailey7567]

The love we had stays on my mind

[@greganderson1445]

I'm a 70's baby. Have you noticed every male group had someone hitting those high notes? There are a few exceptions, but most had a person to hit those notes.

[@dwainwilder7337]

You guys need to check out Bloodstone; “Natural High” and “We Go A Long Way Back”. Two great soulful tunes!

[@glynnborders762]

I haven't heard this since my high school days! Thank you. This was the bomb slow jam. In Detroit we were huge on the slow jam in the basement party with the blue lights. All the ladies wanted to dance to this.

[@TranquiloTrev]

From the golden age of Soul music, an absolute classic from that era's greatest vocal group, in my opinion. The Dramatics ! Ron Banks with the high voice. Written and produced by the great bass player Michael Henderson. His version is great also.

[@wenmill1]

Wow, I knew Michael Henderson had sung his own version of this, which was great as well, but I did not know he had written and produced it. That's awesome!

[@casey4602]

@@wenmill1 I remember Michael Henderson's version back in the 70's but I wasn't aware of the Dramatics version until 5 years ago when I viewed an episode of Unsung. I love singer composer Michael Henderson's version but the Dramatic's harmonies version is my favorite.

[@wenmill1]

@@casey4602 I have to agree. I love Michael Henderson in general, and his version of this, but the Dramatics took it to the next level.

[@AHum-mt3ik]

Stylistic "Break Up To Make Up".

[@rosemarywatson1231]

This song was written by Michael Henderson, Please play some of his music. At The Concert, is one.

[@mkmstillstackin]

Another favorite of my late older brother! Right down the alley of his favorite genre type. He was such an old soul. I also gain more of an appreciation of this kinda stuff as I get older.

[@joyceedwards2708]

The Moments “Love on a two way street, I do & Not on the outside”.

[@alexn.manninternetmarketeu1344]

I believe this a cover to Micheal Henderson song, " Be my girl"

[@beatsgordy]

Ask any Detroitier growing up from the 60's to the 80's and they will probably pick the Dramatics over the Temptations 9 times out of 10. If you wan to hear one of L.J. Reynolds best vocal performance look up The Dramatics "I Can't Get Over You" and their version of "Me And Mrs. Jones" displays all of their vocal skills.

[@misterswatkins]

Ma’am/Sir! You simply hit it out of the park with this pick! “Be My Girl” is and always will be a classic… well done

[@randyallbee1173]

This type of R and B is about my favorite, existed in a special time and exists for a special time- check out Ray, Goodman and Brown, ‘Special Lady’, or ‘Slipped Away’-a little more uptempo, also wonderful. You won’t be disappointed

[@SugahShy]

❤ Yes. Special Lady is the jam.

[@hodgesmuzick70]

What's up Rob Squad Fam! If you want to listen to a really smooth Dramatics song, check out Just Shopping (Not Buying Anything).

[@RobertoSantana61]

The Main Ingredient "Everybody Plays The Fool". Who's with me?

[@clarencewalker3925]

👍

[@mrantdagreat]

🫡🙌🏽

[@josephvalenzuela311]

@RobertoSantana61 "Just Don't Want to Be Lonely". That song is not to bad either.

[@Radentstwo]

And "Spinning Around (I Must Be Falling in Love)" is another good listen by them.

[@pattyduke3079]

💯

[@aboveusall22]

Written and first recorded by the late Michael Henderson.

[@cherylmyers5217]

Love the Dramatics! I would love to hear your reactions to the songs, " You're the Best Thing in My Life "and Hey you! Get off my Mountain both songs by the Dramatics. Two beautiful songs. Love your show!

[@jrox6091]

Their biggest , I think, was Watcha See is Watcha Get, from 1971. A great upbeat song with wonderful vocals and harmony, a little falsetto included. ❤

[@jacquelinesmith5477]

great group my kind music yes

[@billieworley9459]

Y’all should do deep dive into the Stax catalog! The Dramatics are just one of so many out of Memphis TN!’ Loved vid 🎉

[@surlechapeau]

how about the song "Green Onions" by Booker T. & the M.G.'s !! They were the house band at Stax Records!

[@lauriebarrett6789]

70's suggestion - "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" by The Temptations.

[@lauriebarrett6789]

George Benson - "Turn Your Love Around".

[@surlechapeau]

Jay&Amber, for female Friday: Jackie DeShannon - "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" or "What the World Needs Now Is Love"!! She’s one of the early singer-songwriters. She co-wrote Put a Little Love in Your Heart. She wrote the music for her original “Bette Davis Eyes”, words by Donna Weiss. Kim Carnes cover of Bette Davis Eyes was a worldwide hit/record of the year, w/a very different arrangement(which you've heard).

[@themajicman745]

You all just won't let them play great old school soul music without trying to push them back to rock and country.

[@magneto7930]

​@themajicman745 I don't see anything country or rock about those songs that were mentioned. In fact, they are quite soulful, depending on who sings them.

[@kylehopkins1180]

I’m from Detroit so this is my favorite male soul group. They really didn’t have a lead singer. Please watch the movie Detroit on your movie reaction channel. The Dramatics play a very important part of the movie.

[@kathyowens4811]

I liked how both of you did more listening until the song ended.

[@horacerobinson7149]

Also give Enchantment a listen Gloria (1976) My Rose (1976) Sunshine (1976) It’s You That I Need (1977) Silly Love Song (1977)) Just To Name A Few 😊

[@Friend_Of_The_Muse]

The Human Vocal Cords are an amazing instrument and nothing shows that better than soul music such as this.

[@jacquelinesmith5477]

keep 60, 70 .early 80 coming my ear of music

[@rudyfuentes1245]

Definitely soulful. Hey... give a listen to Ray, Goodman & Brown Must Be A Special Lady. Also... GQ I Do Love You.

[@thunderbolts2438]

Still one of my favorite tracks.. I never get tired of. I recommend THE MOMENTS -- Love On A Two-Way Street -- My Thang -- Look At Me (I'm In Love) -- If I Didn't Care -- Sexy Mama

[@curtisdyoung3350]

My personal favorite Dramatics song is “Get Up, Get Down”. It’s the kind of upbeat dance song that Jay would especially enjoy.

[@alejandrobojorquez6181]

THE FLOATERS - " NO STRONGER LOVE " you guys have heard Float On well you're definitely going to like this song even more. It's SOULFUL 70s GROOVIN' JAMS Old School classic from 1977

[@db-gb5xi]

How about some more George benson - on broadway (Drifters cover and from the soundtrack of All That Jazz), this masquerade (you've played the Carpenters version), the greatest love of all, love all the hurt away (duet with Aretha Franklin), turn your love around, breezin’ (instrumental)

Donny Hathaway: For All We Know, You Were Meant for Me, Someday We’ll All Be Free. King of soul in my opinion. Soul who hit the highs so hard then suddenly was taken from the world. Now his daughter Lalah is carrying on his music tradition

[@scottboswell6406]

You can hear how songs like this influenced Rick James and Teena Marie's Fire and Desire! The Dramatics live up to their name!

On the other hand "Shake It Well" is a funky dance tune from The Dramatics also.

[@gregorypowell1311]

In the 70's, if she got in the car with you, and you played this on your 8-track, it was pretty much a wrap ! You youngsters don't understand.

[@ESJAY0198]

"I fell for you" The Dramatics, or "What cha see is watch get" but if You wanna here a great high tenor listen to Skip Mahoaney and the Casuals. 'Where ever you go" "This is My Last Time", Bless My Soul, or Your Funny Moods.

[@user-fu4xm4hs3j]

Great voices and Harmonies , reminiscent of the Styllistics-Colin Ward

[@mizzcarla7191]

You must listen to ' Thank You for Your Love ' by them. Their version of 'Me and Mrs Jones' is stupendous !!😊

[@Radentstwo]

Another one is "I Can't Get Over You" by them also. Their best in my opinion.

[@db4982]
