The 70's was nothing short of a musical paradise!! Deep in the crates!! #TheClassics💽💽💽💽💽💽💽💽💽💽🔥♨️🔥♨️🔥♨️👌

[@TheAzbrother]

1976 the falsetto singer in this song is Ron Banks🔥🔥 the thing about The Dramatics is all of them could sing lead 1972 I believe was their biggest hit it was called "In The Rain"....Detroit🔥🔥🔥

[@yousexymf]

He was a tenor

[@lucky4724]

Correct, Every group during those days had a top notch falsetto crooner. Groups like Temprees/ Delfonics/ The Moments/ Intruders/ Temps/ Skip MaHoney/ Dynamic Superiors to name a few!! Boone's farm days & nights🍾🥃 😂😂

[@possumslim3420]

@@lucky4724 "Boone's Farm" ?!? lol 🤭 😂🤣 🤗 I ain't thought about THAT in years!! High-school days. I think I'm gonna try to find a bottle of my favorite BF flavor, "Country Kwencher". Maaann!! Those were good times! Thanks for re-activating my high-school years. 🤗🙏🏽

Hello Ashley, I know your married ( and no disrespect ) but I love the way you embrace our old school music. I appreciate that in you, because you get it. Today's generation has no clue of the power of our music. I grew up a 60s 70s child. . And yes that glow in you and that sparkle in you eyes , surely takes me back. These women today have no clue of love and romance. ( Your reactions say it all ) The music captures your inner soul, and I see it in your smile .. Thank you Ashley for understanding our music . Pass it forward you beautiful black woman. I love watching your channel because I know the music brings that beautiful sparkle in your eyes and makes you just glow. Your soooooo beautiful . Yes sister yes

Hi, thiis is chuck the former cab driver from Detroit , one of the first jobs i ever had was a t Detroit,s historic Edgewater 2:53 3 Edgewater park. , At the age of 12 years old in the seventieths , ,i was told to sweep up the sound stage. At intermission of a concert, one summer weekend, and lord be hold. It was ron banks and the dramatics ,i met an and spoke to ron banks and the rest of the members, and as i was sweeping. The stage i had my back to the the Detroit crowd, someone threw a big brick and just missed my head by inches ,and 35 years later, sadly the great ron banks passed away of an apparent. Heart attack. I attended his funeral in Detroit, i miss you mister. Banks. My friend. R.i.p. to you and all of the other members who. Passed away god bless the baddest r and b Detroit singing group in the world , signing off. Chuck from motown

[@251to502]

Written and produced by Michael Henderson, Be My Girl peaked at #3 R&B and #53 Pop in early 1977 and as the second single from the Joy Ride album was the most successful.

Ok. More contributions since you got me listening to some music that I had forgotten.. "Is It A Crime" -- Sade "As" Wonderman aka Stevie Wonder Might be a little long fir YT reaction clips.. "Fire and Desire" -- Rick James and Tina Marie Which reminds me.. "You and I" -- Rick James Great dance music "Where Have I Known You Before" -- the late, great Chic Corea Solo piano. Probably not a reaction clip, but you"ll enjoy it. Short and sweet Keep up the EXCELLENT work...😉

You've got to react to "Shake It Well" by The Dramatics, now that's a bop!

[@251to502]

Produced by Don Davis and Tony Hester, it was the first single from the 1977 title track album, just weeks after the Davis-produced ‘I Can’t Get Over You’ peaked in the top ten of the R&B chart.

[@sylvanaire]

I was living in Germany in the mid to late 70s and I missed a lot of top 40 radio so I don’t know this group or the song. But they do have a Temptations vibe about them, for sure. If you like the deep voice of this song, have you checked out Barry White? He’s famous for a bedroom voice. Brace yourself before you start listening, otherwise you’ll melt to the floor, lol.

[@patriciabrown5960]

Ashley, I would love to see your reaction to Me and Mrs. Jones by the Dramatics

[@teejones-g3b]

Do their version of Just Shopping Not Buying Anything

[@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.
