I loved the Dramatics. RIP
sad news, R.I.P.
The Dramatics version of Me and Mrs. Jones still sends chills thru me.
RIP Ron Banks, Drama 5 released in 1975 was my favorite album. ^^ I second that Ham, they're version was better than Billy Paul's and he wrote it.

Loved these guys and Banko was a truly nice guy. I worked with them on a remix in the late 80's. When I worked for the Queen, we had sponsored a concert of theirs at the Ford, and Banko and the guys tried to teach me how to step. You will be missed, Banko!
Per Foodi [[WMXD Mix 92.3), for those who are interested, the Funeral will be held at Greater Grace Temple [[7 Mile & Telegraph) Saturday, March 13th at 11 AM.
He was also saying something else would be happening at Swanson Funeral Home beforehand [[most likely the viewing of the body). I'm not sure which branch.
This is a bummer, I think just about all the originals from the Dramatics are gone now.
I always thought it was interesting they were with Stax instead of Motown.
