      Wee Gee's voice roared and LJ's soared. Do yourself a pleasure if you haven't already and pull up David Brandon Drummer with Dramatics. It's a full length concert,but it's broken up into about 5 separate videos. Winzell Kelly had taken Squirrel's place and the Brother's were all in great form. Ron's rendition of "Lady in Red".......a must view for any REAL Dramatic fan.

    In the family, we know. Temptations of the mid 60's-early 70's can't be touched. All through the 70's and early 80's the Dramatics were incomparable. In concert they would slide around like they were on ice, Larry Demps' choreography was on point. We must learn to appreciate greatness when we're watching it because it doesn't last forever. Grateful to be a witness to The Dramatics.

    Growing up in North Jersey it seemed like on a rainy Friday night WNJR would always play the Dramatics stuff. Lots of babies made on those nights😇

    That was excellent. So many of the original members have passed on. They left this world a legacy of great music that will live on until the end of time. May they all RIP.

      Dramatics are my Favorites, even now I enjoy playing their CDs (espec. while I'm driving) & going on You Tube. I felt so sad when Willie Ford died. I loved his chocolate self, big eyes & deep voice. The whole group was, "BADDDD" I think he was born in LaGrange. GA. I live in GA also. Ms. Arnita Vintes
