The Dramatics are a soul vocal group originally formed in 1964 in Detroit, Michigan. One of their early releases was on a label that was a division of another company, but due to a misprint on the first pressing, they were mistakenly referred to as 'The Dynamics'. The group experienced a surge in popularity when Detroit producers took charge of their career, leading to their signing with Memphis-based Stax Records in 1971. Their notable US hits with Stax include ‘Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get’ (R&B number 3 and pop number 9, 1971), ‘In The Rain’ (R&B number 1 and pop number 5, 1972), and ‘Hey You! Get Off My Mountain’ (R&B number 5 and pop number 43, 1973). Throughout their career, which spanned from 1972 to 2002, they recorded 20 albums despite experiencing constant lineup changes. In 1974, they released an album alongside another artist. During the 1970s, they recorded at various studios, and in the 1980s, they underwent additional changes in their lineup. The group has consisted of various members at different times, including Ron Banks, Larry Reed (lead singer), LJ Reynolds (lead singer), Rob Davis, Elbert Wilkins, William "Weegee Howard" Howard (lead singer), Willie Ford, Robert Ellington, Larry Demps,
