The Dramatics

They run in the same orbit as The Dells, The O'Jays, The Stylistics, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes and Blue Magic, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Dennis Coffey, George Clinton, Snoop Dogg and The Notorious B.I.G., where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
