When at 14 years old I purchased my copy of the "Drama V" album at my usual music store in Tarragona (Catalonia, Spain) I discovered what IS SOUL. This was the same year that was published, 1976, and from this day on The O'Jays, The Chi-lites and The Dramatics are "my particular trio" in the vocal groups field. Cheers to all!

When this album came out it was during a time when the Brothers and the Sistas dressed sharply. I'm from KC Missouri , and we were sharp during those times, and the music reflected the mood and the atmosphere during those times. The 70's was the the SHIT!! Some of my best memories.

I decided to make a comment on this track because it showcased their outrageous harmonies and ability to handle complex musical arrangements. I thoroughly enjoyed the Unsung episode. Drama V came out while I was a student at NCCU and was immediately hooked on this song and Just Shopping. It is easy to forget how many hits they had in a relatively short period 1971 to 1976. They did classic slow jams (Be My Girl, In the Rain), mid-tempo (Whatcha See is Whatcha Get), and club/dance floor bangers (Get Up and Get Down). You could argue for days who was the best group of this era, but the Dramatics combination of five part harmony, showmanship, and vocal tag teaming of Ron Banks and L. J. Reynolds rank them as a top five group in my opinion.

This is my all time favorite cut by them. I think it was Tony Hester's return (and last harrah) to the production booth on the album. I think Michael Hederson wrote this track. At this point in the 70s they were equal to or better than the Temps were (but not the classic five iteration; I'm not crazy).

What's really sad about the site when searching for the lyrics to this song, is that most of what's in print isn't accurate to the lyrical content being sung on the record itself. As a child, my older brother, Michael and his friends used to sing along to this track, as if they were The Dramatics themselves, like we all do when we hear some of our favorite tunes being played! Young people in The Hood always learned the lyrics! If it wasn't The Dramatics, it was WAR, The New Birth, The Spinners, The Ohio Players, The Temptations, The Four Tops or Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes to Earth, Wind and Fire! We had the Groups who wrote the songs that we could sing in front of or Parents or Children without profanity or degrading a Woman! Yeah, we had "Party Music," like Redd Fox, Richard Pryor or The Blowfly, but there was a time and place for that, not like it is today, all out in the open and either missing lyrics or none at all! But, alas, I am getting away from the subject matter at hand. I just wanted to see the Actual lyrics and not what some "Genius" thought it was. With all of the re-creation going on in the world of music, I wonder how long it will be before the 8-Track makes a comeback?
