Some more 70s soul groups to react to: The spinners - it’s a shame (the falsetto); The o’jays - for the love of money, I love music, backstabbers, stairway to heaven; Stylistics - people make the world go round, break up to make up, you are everything, i’m stone in love with you; Chi-lites - oh girl, (for god’s sake) give more power to the people; The undisputed truth - smiling faces sometimes. And some more Sly and The Family Stone - family affair, everyday people, everybody is a star, dance to the music, stand!, hot fun in the summertime, you can make it if you try, if you want me to stay, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin).
Child of the 60's just listening 🎧 to the music of that era from the 60s to the 70's we're off the chain !! Music that were made 40 , 50 60 years old that are considered longevity legendary 🎶🎶🎶 that's all I listen to is old schooler's music and nothing else .
I actually had tears in my eyes listening to this song again from the early 70's. Music was so great back then. I remember walking down 42nd Street in New York City in 1971 while this song was blasting from the speakers coming from the record stores along the street. Now we no longer have those great record stores nor the great music that just made you want to dance and be happy. The computer killed everything including the great live musicians that played on those records.
The Dramatics started in '64, one of my favourites by them is: "All Because of You", other tracks which I suggest are: "In the Rain", "Hey You! Get Off My Mountain", "Be My Girl", "Get Up and Get Down", "Door to Your Heart", "Fall in Love, Lady Love". "Your Love Was Strange", "Toast to the Fool".
As a white teenager growing up in Canada in the early seventies, this genre was one of my favourites. Detroit , Philly soul, just so darn cool !What talent , showmanship and iconic sound❤❤
The dramatics, the Delfonics, the intruders, the persuasions… All from Philadelphia and there’s many more… The music coming out of Philly and that sound was the best, still is😊❤
My absolute favorite male group form this era. My Detroit’s own Dramatics! Fun fact, the term “What you see, is what you get” came from the Flip Wilson comedy show. Flip had a character ( he was dressed in drag😀) named Geraldine who would say very sassy “What you see, is what you get”!
The Dramatics, The Chi-Lites,The Stylistics, and all the other soul classics brought back mellow vibes. Next, react to Get Up, Get Down, I Can't Get Over You, Hey You, Get Off My Mountain. ❤❤❤
You missed the greatness of this song by not playing the live Soul Train version that really makes this song awesome with their choreography. Their dance steps on this song is some of the best that you will see from these kinds of groups.
Hi from WeeGee-Dramatic Behind The Mic, WeeGee's wife. We are cementing his legacy in the music industry, and it is so amazing to see your reaction to hearing his passion for the 1st time. WEEGEE WOULD BE SO HONORED!!!
Another one of the great R&B soul groups from the 60's. Their biggest hits were in the 70's with "Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get", "In The Rain", "Hey You! Get Off My Mountain", "Be My Girl", "Shake It Well" etc. They also did a collaboration with Snoop Dogg in 1993 called "Doggy Dogg World".
So many 60s and 70s great old songs, that you forget about them, until you guys play one of them, and I say, "Oh yeah, I haven't heard this in a long time," and then all the lyrics suddenly come back to you, and you're singing along like it was 1972 again. Thanks for the memories you guys!
I have not heard this song since I was a child. The phrase "What You See is Whay You Get" was affiliated mostly with comedian Flip Wilson when he was in drag playing "Geraldine" in his comedy sketches on his variety TV Show The Flip Wilson Show, which ran from 1970 to 1974. This is probably where these guys got the idea for a song. it was avery common phrase back then thanks to Flip Wilson. Wilson was damn funny, checked him out.
Another song from around that same time (early 70's) is "Smiling Faces Sometimes" by Undisputed truth. It's a great song, one of my faves from that time.
I first heard pop music & some R&B on radio in 1967 & don't remember CKLW playing this legendary group's hits. Just learned of The Dramatics today. Thank u. 🔥
Should have played the Soul Train performance version of this song.....you would not only have seen the fantastic choreography of this group but also that every member of this group is singing a lead part in this song.....something that has rarely been done....imagine 5 members contributing a lead part in a song....great reaction
" After The Love Has Gone " - Earth Wing & Fire . a 1970s Motown Soul R & B classic romance tune , a definitely good song for your channel to check it out you'll love it
This is just one of the many great ‘70s soul songs we grew up with. If you like this one, I suggest you listen to the Dramatics’ song, “In the Rain,” next. That is a fantastic song and it’s my favorite by this group.
I usually don't care for a live performances but them on Soul Train doing this song was really amazing. All five of them had a part, it wasn't just one or two guys and the choreograph was solid.
A while back you did Dan Fogelberg's leader Of the band. But he also did a story song called "Same Old Lang Syne". You like story songs you will love this one. You will usually only hear it around Christmas and New Year. A beautiful story about 2 old lovers. Please. Please. (From an old Viet vet & school teacher.)
This cd is in my safe !! i had to order it from silver platters in 1992, one of the first songs i remember in the back of a Roadrunner with my dad and his friend just back from Vietnam 1970 i was two.
This one of those songs that got everyone on the dance floor.. That roll that you liked , Another artist that you liked alot recently , Billy Stewart , has one too on his cover of Summertime...The Dramatics were part of that Stax/Memphis soul sound even though they were out of Detroit originally..
Glad to see this one, I don’t think you’ve done any other Stax artist. Stax had some good soul. On this track Wee Gee Howard was the lead singer with Ron Banks singing the falsetto parts. The group later became Ron Banks and the Dramatics when WeeGee went solo
The best Detroit vocal group of that era that was NOT signed to Motown. They were as good as the Temptations, and this was one of the best soul/R&B hits of '71 (one of their two biggest hits, along with "In the Rain"). There were so many great R&B/soul tunes in the early 1970s. Check out "Funky Nassau" by the Beginning of the End sometime.
Ah yes, one of the absolute best R&B songs from the 70's, and the '70's ( and '80's ) had so much good music, both R&B and Pop.If you guys haven't, Check out The Intruders " I'll Always Love My Mama", The Delfonics " Didn't I Blow Your Mind ", The Stylistics " Maybe It's Because You're Lonely ", and Sonny Charles & The Checkmates " Black Pearl ", and The Spinners " How Could I Let You Get Away " all of them 5 stars in my book. Great review guys.
Great R & B tune! I think this song started that common phrase nowadays. 🤔 I remember hearing another great R & B song in the summer of '71 radio called "Smiling Faces Sometimes" by the Undisputed Truth . React to that sometime. Thanks. 😎
The first time I heard this I was 10yrs old and been hooked ever since. Wee Gee snd Ron Banks were on fire. Dont know why Wee Gee left at the height of their career. Wee Gee had a powerful voice and the showmanship he possessed was incredible. He had IT. Tony Hester was a genius. All of them GONE WAY TO SOON. I miss this lineup and this group
This is a nice introduction to The Dramatics. The get in their bag on Just Shopping (Not Buying Anything), Door To Your Heart, Oceans Of Thoughts And Dreams, Be My Girl, You're The Best Thing In My Lfe and Do What You Wanna Do.
LOL, I LOVE watching you two Jam OUT on Music from my Generation!!! You two have a great time, chair dancing!!! It would be a cool thing to see you both at an Old School Party!!!
Wow, talk about about being blown back! I literally haven't heard this since I was like 8 or 9 yrs. old, back in the late 70's. My older brother (RIP) would be in his late 60's today and was a huge Dramatics fan. He had a massive vinyl record collection, which included this and many other early 70's R&B/soul tunes like it. Thanks for the memories! This and "Peace in the Valley of Love" by the Persuaders were probably two of his favorites, as I recall.
Here we go! One of the funkiest jams of the 70s! My favorite memory of this song is when they would play it on Soul Train, in the Soul Train line, one guy would always do the splits during that part of the song that breaks down with the staccato horns.
Great follow up to In The Rain. It's been a while, so I'm glad you got back to The Dramatics. I heard this one on AM radio a lot in '71. Glad you liked it.
Thanks guys for getting back to this incredible group. Here's some suggestions for some Dramatics Get up Get Down (1971 Thank You For Your Love (1971) Fall In Love Lady Love (1971) And I Panicked (1974) Me And Mrs Jones (soul train performance (1975) I'm Going By The Stars In Your Eyes (soul train performance (1975) Be My Girl (1976) My Ship Won't Sail Without You (1977) Stop Your Weeping (1978) Thanks again Jay and Amber 😊 Continue to R.I.P to the Dramatics that are vo longer with us ❤
( New Band ) MENUDO - " Like A Cannon Ball ( Video ) " 🎸 Rock Band from 1984 , this song was also featured on " THE LOVE BOAT " TV show back in 1984 when their album was released . You're gonna love this groovy rock tune
My all time FAVORITE band. Each member can (and does) sing lead. Other Dramatics songs to check out: "Just Shopping," "Stop your Weeping," "Get Up and Get Down," and "Door to Your Heart." Jay is a hip-hop head, so he may recognize the Dramatics "It Ain't Raining" sampled in Beanie Sigel's "Mom Praying."
Snoop Dogg announced these men as the fabulous Dramatics in his/their song "Doggy Dogg World". Ever heard the song "Now That We('ve) Found Love"? It was first recorded by The O'Jays in 1973. A Jamaican band called Third World released their version in 1978 as a reggae-disco song. American group Heavy D & the Boyz released their dance/house-cover of the song in 1991.
You guys have to react to some songs on Michael Jackson's final album heaven can wait, whatever happens, break of dawn, butterflies and for female Fridays Aaliyah's I care for you and last but not least Donny Hathaway's a song for you. Peace be with you 🪄✨🎼✨✨🔥
The recording studio STAX had a House Band, which became known as "Booker T. and The M.G.s" (Booker T. Jones, Donald 'Duck' Dunn, Steve Cropper and Al Jackson, Jr.) - you should be familiar with at least TIME IS TIGHT. There is a classic video on you tube Live in Oakland with them opening for CCR on 1/31/70 worthy of your reaction. Steve and Donald also became regulars in The Blues Bros. Band (film, album and touring). GREEN ONIONS was another staple instrumental of Booker T. and The M.G.s you should be familiar, recorded many times at various tempos, etc. - used in so many soundtracks, and covered by every band with an organ.
Some more 70s soul groups to react to: The spinners - it’s a shame (the falsetto); The o’jays - for the love of money, I love music, backstabbers, stairway to heaven; Stylistics - people make the world go round, break up to make up, you are everything, i’m stone in love with you; Chi-lites - oh girl, (for god’s sake) give more power to the people; The undisputed truth - smiling faces sometimes. And some more Sly and The Family Stone - family affair, everyday people, everybody is a star, dance to the music, stand!, hot fun in the summertime, you can make it if you try, if you want me to stay, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin).
Well done!!!
ALL GREAT SUGGESTIONS!!
Any of the hit singles from the O'Jays and Sly and the Family Stone are worth a listen.
Yes! I loved all those 70s soul groups..can add Free Movement I Found Someone of My Own
My playlist!
The five part harmony is what made this group so special. Everyone had a major role.
So true!
Just imagine growing up to this music... How lucky was I... So glad you guys enjoyed the song.
How lucky we ALL WERE!!! :) I'm WITH YA!!!
Child of the 60's just listening 🎧 to the music of that era from the 60s to the 70's we're off the chain !! Music that were made 40 , 50 60 years old that are considered longevity legendary 🎶🎶🎶 that's all I listen to is old schooler's music and nothing else .
I still get chills
The Dramatics gave the Temptations competition in the early 70's. I love the both groups.
✌️😁❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶👍
You couldn't go wrong with the Dramatics, The Temptations and the Four Tops.
I actually had tears in my eyes listening to this song again from the early 70's. Music was so great back then. I remember walking down 42nd Street in New York City in 1971 while this song was blasting from the speakers coming from the record stores along the street. Now we no longer have those great record stores nor the great music that just made you want to dance and be happy. The computer killed everything including the great live musicians that played on those records.
"Ball of Confusion" by the Temptations released in 1970, the lyrics are still relevant in today's world.
I second that, and add Papa was a Rolling Stone.
Love this song....
Awesome Suggestion ❤
The Dramatics started in '64, one of my favourites by them is: "All Because of You", other tracks which I suggest are: "In the Rain", "Hey You! Get Off My Mountain", "Be My Girl", "Get Up and Get Down", "Door to Your Heart", "Fall in Love, Lady Love". "Your Love Was Strange", "Toast to the Fool".
Aaw man, all goldies! These were all right up my late older brother's alley, especially "Be My Girl" and "Get Off My Mountain".
Fell For You, And I Panicked, Just Shopping, The Stars In Your Eyes, Treat Me Like A Man, Ocean Of Thoughts and Dreams
@@mkmstillstackin Music has power, it can remind us of the love we shared.
@@yousexymf Yes, particularly, "Oceans of Thoughts and Dreams", all of these are good tracks.
@@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis. Indeed, it does. Thank You!
As a white teenager growing up in Canada in the early seventies, this genre was one of my favourites. Detroit , Philly soul, just so darn cool !What talent , showmanship and iconic sound❤❤
All five members of this group sang lead on this tune!!! You can see them on Soul Train performing this song!!!
The dramatics, the Delfonics, the intruders, the persuasions… All from Philadelphia and there’s many more… The music coming out of Philly and that sound was the best, still is😊❤
All terrific vocal groups, but the Dramatics were from Detroit.
My absolute favorite male group form this era. My Detroit’s own Dramatics!
Fun fact, the term “What you see, is what you get” came from the Flip Wilson comedy show. Flip had a character ( he was dressed in drag😀) named Geraldine who would say very sassy “What you see, is what you get”!
Yes, classic Flip Wilson, Geraldine, Reverend Leroy, and Freddie the playboy. Great times.
*Flip had nice legs!*
Also from Detroit...the *Detroit Spinners,* (🎶"It's A Shame🎶) which was changed when they left Motown.
The Dramatics, The Chi-Lites,The Stylistics, and all the other soul classics brought back mellow vibes. Next, react to Get Up, Get Down, I Can't Get Over You, Hey You, Get Off My Mountain. ❤❤❤
Fantastic Song ❤️❤️
Glad y'all got to feel it 😉✌️❤️
You missed the greatness of this song by not playing the live Soul Train version that really makes this song awesome with their choreography. Their dance steps on this song is some of the best that you will see from these kinds of groups.
Yes, their moves were fantastic!!
YES! You have to see their performance on SOUL Train to get the full picture...
I love this song…Watch You See Is What You Get…oh yes! Thanks guys! 👍👏👏👏🎼🎵🎶🎸🥁🎹🎺🎷🎻♥️♥️💃🕺🏾
I still love this song after 50 years. Whoever did the arrangement and mixing of this song deserved a medal.
One of the greatest r and b groups of all time. The Dramatics are timeless! Period!
I Can Play This Song Over & Over That's How Much I Love This Great Classic Song 👍, Great Reaction Guy's 😊
Hi from WeeGee-Dramatic Behind The Mic, WeeGee's wife. We are cementing his legacy in the music industry, and it is so amazing to see your reaction to hearing his passion for the 1st time. WEEGEE WOULD BE SO HONORED!!!
Had totally forgotten about this song. As soon as I heard the first "some people", everything came flooding back. Thanks for the memories.
Another one of the great R&B soul groups from the 60's. Their biggest hits were in the 70's with "Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get", "In The Rain", "Hey You! Get Off My Mountain", "Be My Girl", "Shake It Well" etc. They also did a collaboration with Snoop Dogg in 1993 called "Doggy Dogg World".
"In The Rain" that's my jam 🎼
So many 60s and 70s great old songs, that you forget about them, until you guys play one of them, and I say, "Oh yeah, I haven't heard this in a long time," and then all the lyrics suddenly come back to you, and you're singing along like it was 1972 again. Thanks for the memories you guys!
Oh such a great song!!! Thank you for doing this one!!! Brings back memories! ❤❤❤❤

This is probably where these guys got the idea for a song. it was avery common phrase back then thanks to Flip Wilson. Wilson was damn funny, checked him out.
You know they should do a review on the Flip Wilson show just to see Geraldine😂😂😂 so they can trip out😂
Another song from around that same time (early 70's) is "Smiling Faces Sometimes" by Undisputed truth. It's a great song, one of my faves from that time.
One of the best groups that ever did it. They switched lead singers and never missed a beat. They kept on making hit after hit. Thanks for this one.
People knew how good the 70's music was when they were living it in the 70's. The music had so much character
In my opinion, 70s R&B/Soul was THE BEST. This is a prime example of musical excellence.
One of my favorites of the 1970’s. A timeless classic.
This is why The Dramatics are legendary. I grew up listening to them as a boy and early adulthood.
Theeeee Dramatics !!! Thank you for ALL you do !!
Love, love, love this song. Definately my favorite that you guys have done.
Music like this just brings a smile 😃 to my soul!! ❤ 👍
Guys all the members sang lead on this record. They all have fantastuc voices!!! You can see them preforming this "fast pace" song on Soul Train!!!!
I first heard pop music & some R&B on radio in 1967 & don't remember CKLW playing this legendary group's hits. Just learned of The Dramatics today. Thank u. 🔥
Should have played the Soul Train performance version of this song.....you would not only have seen the fantastic choreography of this group but also that every member of this group is singing a lead part in this song.....something that has rarely been done....imagine 5 members contributing a lead part in a song....great reaction
" After The Love Has Gone " - Earth Wing & Fire . a 1970s Motown Soul R & B classic romance tune , a definitely good song for your channel to check it out you'll love it
Must Hear + Great Falsetto + R & B Classic = Blue Magic "Sideshow" 🎩 🪄 🔮
An oldie but one hell of a goodie!! Soul at it's best. Love it.
This is just one of the many great ‘70s soul songs we grew up with. If you like this one, I suggest you listen to the Dramatics’ song, “In the Rain,” next. That is a fantastic song and it’s my favorite by this group.
This was in my dad’s LPs and I would give anything to have that collection back ❤
God how I loved growing into my teens litening to these amazing soul groups!
I usually don't care for a live performances but them on Soul Train doing this song was really amazing. All five of them had a part, it wasn't just one or two guys and the choreograph was solid.
J/A, nice song and reaction. You've now done their 2 big hits!
A while back you did Dan Fogelberg's leader Of the band. But he also did a story song called "Same Old Lang Syne". You like story songs you will love this one. You will usually only hear it around Christmas and New Year. A beautiful story about 2 old lovers. Please. Please. (From an old Viet vet & school teacher.)
Feeling that Ouh! vibe...J paused at that Ouh! scream, but still caught it and ur both feelin' it, yessssss...Thanx so much, Peace
God I miss music having a horns section. It's the signature sound of the 70's
Growing up in the 70s music era this song was one of my favorites love the bongos.
Adding a recommendation: "What I Like About You" by the Romantics. It's from the '90s, but it's a throwback to the sound of 1964...
70s baby, can't beat that... That's the thing about those groups of the70s, you didn't have just one singer, that's what made each song Awesome!!!!
A little background on the title. It's a famous saying by Flip Wilson playing Geraldine Jones. "Wha chu see is wa chu get. Whoooh!
In his Geraldine character.
One of my favorite songs from that era! Great song!
The Dramatics were a Detroit r&b group that wasn't part of Motown.
Check out "Hey You Get Off My Mountain"
I was 13 when this and all the other old school R&B was topping the charts. Lucky boy here.
This cd is in my safe !! i had to order it from silver platters in 1992, one of the first songs i remember in the back of a Roadrunner with my dad and his friend just back from Vietnam 1970 i was two.
Upon the song's initial release I bought the original vinyl 45 single at a record store on 42nd Street back in 1971.
This was definitely one our favorite dance songs!! You should have seen them perform this on soul train 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This one of those songs that got everyone on the dance floor..
That roll that you liked , Another artist that you liked alot recently , Billy Stewart , has one too on his cover of Summertime...The Dramatics were part of that Stax/Memphis soul sound even though they were out of Detroit originally..
😮I’m so glad you’ve been put on to one of the greatest songs ever recorded!
Another banger today
This was the era of magic!! And we lived it!!
Soul music perfection - nothing else comes close ❤
Glad to see this one, I don’t think you’ve done any other Stax artist. Stax had some good soul. On this track Wee Gee Howard was the lead singer with Ron Banks singing the falsetto parts. The group later became Ron Banks and the Dramatics when WeeGee went solo
The best Detroit vocal group of that era that was NOT signed to Motown. They were as good as the Temptations, and this was one of the best soul/R&B hits of '71 (one of their two biggest hits, along with "In the Rain"). There were so many great R&B/soul tunes in the early 1970s. Check out "Funky Nassau" by the Beginning of the End sometime.
Ah yes, one of the absolute best R&B songs from the 70's, and the '70's ( and '80's ) had so much good music, both R&B and Pop.If you guys haven't, Check out The Intruders " I'll Always Love My Mama", The Delfonics " Didn't I Blow Your Mind ", The Stylistics " Maybe It's Because You're Lonely ", and Sonny Charles & The Checkmates " Black Pearl ", and The Spinners " How Could I Let You Get Away " all of them 5 stars in my book. Great review guys.
Oh man this is my Jam! The Dramatics are a legendary R&B group with many great songs, and this is another one of them….certified banger 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This became my favorite song for weeks when this first came out. Truely a banger!
Yes Dramatics, Stylistics,Delfonics❤
The soulful r and b days of the early 1970’s!
Y'all just don't know how we got down whenever this song came on back in the day! All ages grooved to this one!
"Some people are made of plastic." He sung facts lol. I do suggest for your third song "Hey You Get Off My Mountain."
You're on the dance floor trying to catch his eye. Perfect show off song. 😘
I remember hearing this a time or six on the radio back in the early 70s. 71? 72? Something like that. Love the groove. Cheers....
Wow! You have been hitting it out of the park lately! I love 70's soul
Dug deep for this WINNER !!!! Thanks for the memories ~
Great R & B tune! I think this song started that common phrase nowadays. 🤔 I remember hearing another great R & B song in the summer of '71 radio called "Smiling Faces Sometimes" by the Undisputed Truth . React to that sometime. Thanks. 😎
Definitely Smiling Faces. I still have the '45. Similar lyrics too that tell of people who disguise who they really are.
The first time I heard this I was 10yrs old and been hooked ever since. Wee Gee snd Ron Banks were on fire. Dont know why Wee Gee left at the height of their career. Wee Gee had a powerful voice and the showmanship he possessed was incredible. He had IT. Tony Hester was a genius. All of them GONE WAY TO SOON. I miss this lineup and this group
Speaking of Classics,, The Stylistics "Heavy Fallin' Out"🔥
This is a nice introduction to The Dramatics. The get in their bag on Just Shopping (Not Buying Anything), Door To Your Heart, Oceans Of Thoughts And Dreams, Be My Girl, You're The Best Thing In My Lfe and Do What You Wanna Do.
LOL, I LOVE watching you two Jam OUT on Music from my Generation!!! You two have a great time, chair dancing!!! It would be a cool thing to see you both at an Old School Party!!!
Wow, talk about about being blown back! I literally haven't heard this since I was like 8 or 9 yrs. old, back in the late 70's. My older brother (RIP) would be in his late 60's today and was a huge Dramatics fan. He had a massive vinyl record collection, which included this and many other early 70's R&B/soul tunes like it. Thanks for the memories! This and "Peace in the Valley of Love" by the Persuaders were probably two of his favorites, as I recall.
I AM A 70'S KID HERE❤ Please do more!
Pretty far out song for 1971 love watching The Dramatics sing this 😊
Here we go! One of the funkiest jams of the 70s! My favorite memory of this song is when they would play it on Soul Train, in the Soul Train line, one guy would always do the splits during that part of the song that breaks down with the staccato horns.
Great follow up to In The Rain. It's been a while, so I'm glad you got back to The Dramatics. I heard this one on AM radio a lot in '71. Glad you liked it.
Thanks guys for getting back to this incredible group. Here's some suggestions for some Dramatics

Continue to R.I.P to the Dramatics that are vo longer with us ❤
The soul Train version was great.
WHAT an era.
Luckily I grew up with the best music in history.
Love this tune, soulful, powerful vocals ❤
The Dramatics did an epic version of the Hall and Oates track 'Do what you want to, be who you are'.
So happy this is some of the music from my generation (Baby Boomer I am) ❤️ So much amazing R&B from the 70's.
( New Band ) MENUDO - " Like A Cannon Ball ( Video ) " 🎸 Rock Band from 1984 , this song was also featured on " THE LOVE BOAT " TV show back in 1984 when their album was released . You're gonna love this groovy rock tune
Great tune brings back memories form 1971 when I first heard this one while in Germany in the Army
My all time FAVORITE band. Each member can (and does) sing lead.
Other Dramatics songs to check out: "Just Shopping," "Stop your Weeping," "Get Up and Get Down," and "Door to Your Heart."
Jay is a hip-hop head, so he may recognize the Dramatics "It Ain't Raining" sampled in Beanie Sigel's "Mom Praying."
Music In the 50s, 60s and 70s, and possibly sooner, is more impactful in such a deeper way and level.
Snoop Dogg announced these men as the fabulous Dramatics in his/their song "Doggy Dogg World". Ever heard the song "Now That We('ve) Found Love"? It was first recorded by The O'Jays in 1973. A Jamaican band called Third World released their version in 1978 as a reggae-disco song. American group Heavy D & the Boyz released their dance/house-cover of the song in 1991.
You guys have to react to some songs on Michael Jackson's final album heaven can wait, whatever happens, break of dawn, butterflies and for female Fridays Aaliyah's I care for you and last but not least Donny Hathaway's a song for you. Peace be with you 🪄✨🎼✨✨🔥
Bringing great music & pride to all Native Americans,, Redbone "Witch Queen Of New Orleans"
Navajo/Bil Hozhoni (The Happy One)
The recording studio STAX had a House Band, which became known as "Booker T. and The M.G.s" (Booker T. Jones, Donald 'Duck' Dunn, Steve Cropper and Al Jackson, Jr.) - you should be familiar with at least TIME IS TIGHT. There is a classic video on you tube Live in Oakland with them opening for CCR on 1/31/70 worthy of your reaction. Steve and Donald also became regulars in The Blues Bros. Band (film, album and touring). GREEN ONIONS was another staple instrumental of Booker T. and The M.G.s you should be familiar, recorded many times at various tempos, etc. - used in so many soundtracks, and covered by every band with an organ.
LOVE this jam!! All these brothas can blow. Check out their performance on Soul Train.
LOVE The Dramatics
❤❤❤❤❤
Love this group! There are so many cool groups in the early 70s. I love Sly and Family Stone.
