Many people my associate The Dramatics with Motown but in fact they were with Stax Records. Ron Banks was the leader of the group who were originally The Dynamics. According to The Detroit News Ron Banks died of what may have been a heart attack at age 58. The Dramatics have always been one of my favorite R&B/Soul groups of all time. Ask my mother what happened to her tapes, yes tapes, and then lets move on to CDs. Thats how long I've been a fan since tapes. (Not old enough for 8-tracks)
"In The Rain", "Just Shopping" are some of my favorites
So many Dramatic hits have been sampled by various artists
Here is one that I sampled too. "Ocean of Thoughts And Dreams" Producer 9th Wonder also sampled this and made the Destiny's Child hit "Girl"
Thanks for the memories Ron !!! Rest In Paradise !!!
