"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."

"I really am glad that I bought this CD. I play it over and over again more than any other CD that I have. My favorite songs are Door to Your Heart, I Think I'm Falling, Me and Mrs. Jones, Hey You Get Off My Mountain, I Want To Go Outside In The Rain and I Can't Get Over You. I like all of the songs but these are my favorite ones. The background music is wonderful. The Dramatics voices are wonderful too. Those guys can really sing. A lot of recording artists today are not very good singers with a few exceptions. The falsetto voice is amazing and the voices compliment one another with perfect timing and pitch. I strongly recommend this CD."
Sweet soul music

"This is music for lovers of 70/80s soul music,the Dramatics have two lead vocalists who compliment each other,one a typical fallseto voice and the other in a more teddy P groove.
Very few fillers,each track has a real voice and real instruments backing.
Takes you back to when music actually ment something."
