I'm only 41 but my older siblings listened to and had all of the Dramatics LPs back in the '70s. As a result, I'm a fan. Detroit and the world will miss Mr. Banks one great talent who's great body of work will live on with us all. God Bless.

I will miss brother Ron Banks I really appreciated his voice an the group very unique. I can remember when they would come to Los Angsles I was able to meet with him & LJ at a former friends house and we would sit an conversate, drink wine and listen to some music, it was really a cool time. believe me folks those guys were really nice people to hang out with. God speed to the Banks family & The Dramatics Troupers in thier own right to understand that the show must go on regardless. EddieBob

THE DRAMATICS IS ONE OF THE BEST GROUP AROUND I WOULD PUT THEM ON THE SAME LEVEL AS THE MIGHTY TEMPTATIONS, BECAUSE THEY DESERVE TO BE. I'VE SEEN THEM PERFORM OVE R 15 TIMES IN MY LIFE AND I CAN SURLY SAY THAT EVERYTIME JUST GOT BETTER AND BETTER..

I AM SURE THAT HE WILL BE MISSED BY HIS FAMILY AND FREIND I WIL KEEP THEM ALL IN MY PRAYERS.

LET'S GIVE A TOAST TO RON BANKS……………………………….

Ron Banks was our neighbor years ago in Detroit. He was a very good friend of the White Family on Taylolr street . His family will be in our prayers. Love, Natalie, Barbara, Norman,Ezell, Diane and Marvin White.

James, he would have been 14 years old in 1965. He was born in 1951. The group formed in the later 60's. Hope that clears up the chronology.

God bless the Banks Family.

God bless the family of Ron Banks. I think the age, however may be a mistake. I can't imagine him founding the group when he was 8, 9, or 10.

Peace and blessings!
