The Dramatics...my favorite group of all time. I LOVE THIS GROUP...No group could put poetry into music like the Dramatics. I watched their documentary (UNSUNG) on TVONE and recorded it. I watched it about 100 times because I didn't want to let go and then the following year Willie died. I miss this group so very much. God bless RJ Reynolds and any remaining members... " What's so good about Goodbye all it does is make you cry"😮‍💨 Thank you for sharing...I'm reminiscing in MARCH 2023.
