May you rest in peace Ron. You will be missed.

That is so sad. What is up with all of these people dying in their 50's. We really need to take care of ourselves.

yes, his voice was very nice! Smooth.

"They stayed true to what they did," said Cliff Green, 59, a Detroit fan of the group. "They didn’t try to keep up with the times, even after the rappers and techno artists came out and took music a different way. Ron Banks and the Dramatics stayed true to what they did. You could still fall in love while listening to their music. They put you in that groove.”

We've lost another great soul crooner. R.I.P.

I guess if you've never heard of or don't know much about The Dramatics
you cant appreciate what a great artist Ron Banks was and the rest are.
He was the founder of the group and being the youngest, his mom really
didn't want him to do it but he did it anyway and went on to become highly successful.

Great talent. His falsetto can rival anyones.
