"If you were like me and all you heard of The Dramatics was "Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get," you have a real treat in store for yourself with this album. Yes, the phenomenal hit "Whatcha See..." leads off this CD of great tunes, but there's much more to this group than that hit. Actually, their biggest hit is the gritty ballad "In the Rain," and yes, it's on this CD, too.Don't miss out on many, many of the other great tunes on this CD. The group possesses great talent, harmonization, and cohesiveness: practically all of them share leads throughout the CD.Clearly it's one of the best CDs I've purchased in a long, long time. I'm trying to figure out why this group is so underrated, so left out when talking about legendary performers.The Dramatics are clearly one of the greatest soul groups of all time. Get this CD to find out why!"

Great Soul!

"The Dramatics are one of my favorite soul groups, they really can emaote much soul. My two personal favorite songs by them are "Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get" and "In The Rain". The other songs are very good, also. I must say that I wasn't overly impressed with their version of Billy Paul's "Me And Mrs. Jones", I think that song fits Billy Paul like a glove and no one else can do it justice. But, this is a great CD and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes good 70's soul."

"i always dug the Dramatics."Be my Girl" the great cut that Michael Henderson did for them is timeles. 'whatcha see,is whatcha get" is also a jam. dig there Harmony&soulful presentation."In the rain" which later Keith Sweat re-made is a timeless jam as well."
