    Ron Banks was the " Billy Dee Williams " of The Dramatics !. The " Smooth Operator " with the hypnotic " Falsetto Tenor " that made the Brothers " Hi - Five and The Ladies " Cry ! " Blessed to see him perform live several times back in the day , his command of the stage when lead on a song or even when spoke was blue print a Blue 💙 Print on " Professional Suaveness ! " His Legacy 💕 will live on in our memory banks and in Wonderful Videos like this one . He left Us at a young age but Thank God he began his " Musical Journey ' at a young 🌱 age ! Ron Banks and The Dramatics are Unforgettable !

    Ron was truly something else, could never quite put my finger on it. Obviously his voice, but so much more, style, grace, charisma, humour and humility, he had it all in abundance. No LJ, Wee Gee or Squirrel on this, just Willie, Lenny as ever under-utilised, and new boy Craig Jones, so Ron just takes the lead and brings it home again, another Dramatics song of great strength and beauty. Rest in peace Ron, true legend.
