LJ REYNOLDS has a bad case of LSS (LEAD SINGER SYNDROME) . What in the WORLD made him even THINK that HE was gonna get TOP BILLING ...when HE WASN'T EVEN AN ORIGINAL MEMBER ?? WILLIE has a RIGHT to be UPSET !! Where was LJ when the Dramatics recorded their FIRST TWO MILLION SELLERS ? I don't know, but he WASN'T in the DRAMATICS, that's for SURE !! RON BANKS was the undisputed LEADER of THE DRAMATICS...and LJ HATED THAT !!! WEE GEE, RON, WILLIE, and SQUIRREL were on those hits!! HE WASN'T !!) But, RON BANKS was for the GROUP !! LJ was for LJ. (Talk about shades of DAVID RUFFIN and PHILLIPPE WYNNE !! ''whew !!")
williamg2552 I believe he was a lead singer in another group before he joined the Dramatics. Probably a local group somewhere. He saw the Dramatics performed and Wee Gee wasn’t there. They say he met with the guys sometime after their performance and sang all parts of some of their old records and they were so impressed they soon hired him for replacement for Wee Gee. Yes, he does talk a lot about himself in interviews(all though comical) but being short he probably spent quite a lot of time in his early years trying to convince people of his talents in a world of tall R&B groups and singers. In that time with so many groups and lead singers, I guess some arrogance was needed. He can’t help it, been at it too long, maybe.
L J Reynolds Is a bit selfish it seems to me. Talks tooooooo Much about himself it's All about him. I Love Squirrel I think he got aggravated with some of the situation. Willie Ford and Lenny Mayes were Soooo smooth maybe that's how they could still tolerate this. Ron Banks Always Super sexy Voice, Lenny Mayes sensual sweetness was/is the Essence of The Dramatics!
Notice Willie who is one of the original members body language when L.J. starts talking. From the things he has said since Ron's passing I think the little man had a lot of Jealousy for Ron. And he is also working under a serious little man complex
I doubt it L.J. Reynolds was jealous of Ron Banks singing. L.J. Reynolds is a better singer than Ron LOL. Willie Ford and L.J. did have beef before Willie died. Willie started a Dramatics group without L.J. before Willie died. I wish Lenny Mayes was in this interview.
RON BANKS and WILLIE FORD WERE ORIGINAL MEMBERS. LJ was NOT. Why is LJ Dominating the interview ? He’s not even an ORIGINAL MEMBER. He wouldn’t even let Willie get a WORD in !! He wasn’t even THERE at the beginning. He was a REPLACEMENT MEMBER!! He is acting as if The DRAMATICS were HIS GROUP. Everyone KNOWS that RON BANKS was the LEADER and SPOKEMAN for the group. LJ was always JEALOUS of HIM. Now that RON is DEAD, LJ wants to stage a TAKEOVER. He wasn’t even THERE at the BEGINNING!!
HE'S ALL ABOUT HIM ABOUT THE TENOR WOW WAS OFF THE CHAIN WHATS WRONG WITH HIM ITS NOT JUST NOT HIM LONE MAN! I LOVE THEM BUT HE'S STUCK ON HIM ITS ABOUT ALL OF THEM I THINK? DAG?
LJ KNOWS that he'll NEVER replace either RON or WEE GEE in the minds of the public. He knows that none of the tunes he led on will ever reach the sales or status of the tunes WEE GEE led on: "IN THE RAIN" and "WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET", which were both Top 10 Million-Selling records. He also knows that, if RON were still alive, he would have kept the reins on him!! LJ is a great singer...but sadly, he's got an EGO to MATCH !!
L J dominated this whole interview... He cannot touch Ron and especially Wee Gee... I can imagine he caused a lot shyt within the group... Go sit down LJ you're not an original member... p.s. I personal thought: He probably was the reason Wee Gee left the group... IJS
Nice interview with music singers The Dramatics at rock and roll hall of fame in my hometown Cleveland, Ohio. LOL@L.J. Reynolds talking about The Dramatics doing Doggy Dogg World song with music rapper Snoop Dogg. Happy birthday L.J. Reynolds. L.J. Reynolds is 72 years old. RIP Ron Banks who wasn't in the interview. RIP Lenny Mayes who wasn't in the interview. RIP Willie Ford. The Dramatics, The Jacksons(RIP Michael Jackson), Cameo, Florence Ballard of The Supremes(RIP), Beyonce Knowles are my favorite black music singers.

I noticed in the fell for you video how LJ was looking at Ron so I thought the same thing jealousy
I doubt it L.J. Reynolds was jealous of Ron Banks singing. L.J. Reynolds is a better singer than Ron LOL. Willie Ford and L.J. did have beef before Willie died. Willie started a Dramatics group without L.J. before Willie died. I wish Lenny Mayes was in this interview.
LJ wanted to be the lead singer. He had beef with Wee Gee. He wanted was jealous man if he was so good without the dramatics why did he come back
RON BANKS and WILLIE FORD WERE ORIGINAL MEMBERS. LJ was NOT. Why is LJ Dominating the interview ? He’s not even an ORIGINAL MEMBER. He wouldn’t even let Willie get a WORD in !! He wasn’t even THERE at the beginning. He was a REPLACEMENT MEMBER!! He is acting as if The DRAMATICS were HIS GROUP. Everyone KNOWS that

Willie Ford is over LJ.
Willie very low keyed and humble
HE'S ALL ABOUT HIM ABOUT THE TENOR WOW WAS OFF THE CHAIN WHATS WRONG WITH HIM ITS NOT JUST NOT HIM LONE MAN! I LOVE THEM BUT HE'S STUCK ON HIM ITS ABOUT ALL OF THEM I THINK? DAG?
You're right he's very egotistical
LJ KNOWS that he'll NEVER replace either RON or WEE GEE in the minds of the public. He knows that none of the tunes he led on will ever reach the sales or status of the tunes WEE GEE led on: "IN THE RAIN" and "WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET", which were both Top 10 Million-Selling records.

L J dominated this whole interview...
He cannot touch Ron and especially Wee Gee...
I can imagine he caused a lot shyt within the group...
