The Dramatics is a soul vocal group originally formed in 1964 in Detroit, Michigan. One of their early releases was on a label, a division of another company, but a misprint on the first pressing referred to them as 'The Dynamics'. The group's fortunes improved when Detroit producers took charge of their career, leading them to sign with the Memphis-based Stax Records in 1971. They achieved notable success with hits such as ‘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, they experienced constant lineup changes and recorded 20 albums between 1972 and 2002. In 1974, they released an album in collaboration with another artist. During the 1970s, they recorded at various studios, and in the 1980s, they underwent further changes. 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, Leonard Cornell Mayes, and Winzell Kelly.
