In The Rain - Dramatics

[scarecrowsc2007]

I used to play this on 45mp over and over. It made me cry then and it still makes me cry today. We all have tears to hide at one time or another.

[Bearmissyrazdaz]

WHEN UR IN A ONE MAN CELL AND U LOSE A LOVED ONE !

WORDS CANNOT DISCRIBE THE GRIEF! ONLY THE MAN UPSTAIRS CAN HELP US ALL! BRUNO MARS' JAM RINGS MY BELL !

[Geecarter29]

In 1971 I was stationed in Denver, Colorado. We had made plans to see The Dramatics in concert, it would have been my first time to see them in person. I was so excited, but never got a chance to see them because I had fallen asleep (lol), had to much to drink....woke up and they were finishing "In The Rain"...That was the last time I got tanked before a concert, taught me a lesson.

[Sherayx]

This is so beautiful, and so true. great video!

[dnbjedi]

[100newlondon]

[de1ce]

Heard it first time in Germany in 1972, great song, great performers..........they don't make song like this anymore! Unfortunately. thanks for posting it

[kjonesnewyork1]

to the comment about race and your inability or unwillingness to understand where that sentiment comes from... I didnt make the original comment about race but I will say simply this: When Whites stop making such a disparity between the races, then we wont have the need to cling to Being so Black! you may not be a racist but it exists and it tends to separate us on various levels. Peace.

[blkaznlady]

this is music, when the songs had meaning. And the best part, if you couldn't sing everyone knew it. Not this auto tune crap.

[xwjd14]

BIG L RIP

[robocop207]

Westside Pomona, Ca, mid 70's, house party in Sin Town and when this song came on you had better had a girl picked out to slow dance with real quick or your black ass will be left out. If you get one of those girls that know how to grind......ahhh shit, don't get no better than that!

[stucktoit909]

I've lived long enough to remember when I first heard this song of love, when people were in love and most stayed that way. Thank you Dramatics, they can't take that from me.

A great song, brings back many many good memories, thank you DRAMATICS, thank you 60's and 70's...you were the best years.

[Jangjay747]

Hotep. This is part 2 Watch Politics In Healing Dr. Jewel Pookrum 1993. Dr. Merira Kwesi & Dr. Jewel Pookrum vs Dr. Cindy Tramm * Co. Heal A Woman-Heal A Nation / Dr. Jewel Pookrum. MELANIN WHAT IT IS WHAT IT AINT SISTER Deborah MAAT Moore. Bobby Hemmitt- Understanding Racism, Assult On Melinated DNA. THE WHITE MAN THE DEVIL? Blacks Law / Moorish Law DealingWith The Courts. This should give you a better idea why us Soul People want to be our own leaders. You are the reason why we are un-employed

[Jangjay747]

Hotep. This is to ScholarMystics. This is to help you understand why we Soul People want to market our music, and everything else that we have created. Look at the lecture by Dr. Delbert Blair "AVATAR 2012" There are sixteen clips in this lacture. Then watch Psychiatry: "Industry Of Death" Then watch Dr. Amos Wilson; "The Massage"- The Falsification Of The Afrikan Consciousness- Dr. Francis Cress Welsing " The Codes" and " Can You Protect Your melanin" THIS IS PART 1.

[Lpena1214]

love the Ol' School' jams... brings back good memories..

[ThankyouGODGreta]

Sit Back and relax

[hanno21664]

[BlacknesUnforgivable]

@mike7743 british whites have no culture thats why they are always on black american dick

[mike7743]

@BlacknesUnforgivable now you're just showing how much of a fucking moron YOU are, and I'm Black. please shut your dumb country ass up and don't speak on subjects that are above your brain cells. dumbass.

[Psynyde]

@BlacknesUnforgivable That's easily the most retarded thing I've read on YouTube in weeks. I commend you sir, it truly is an art form to come up with a comment so incredibly and stunningly retarded as the one you have typed out here.

[AC1717171717]

@mike7743 White people have no soul they can steal and conquer and call it living life don't study your own race there is nothing there just a collage of stolen goods from the world! American Idol has spawned the chance to finally steal black styles out right funny how no one copies white music history its just polka!!

[mike7743]

@AC1717171717 you're an idiot but most importantly learn how to use a comma.

[AC1717171717]

@mike7743 Here (,)

[fayecollinsmcbride]

@mike7743 You nailed it!!

[ibmalik3]

Real music makes you think about all the beautiful things that life has to offer . This is MUSIC , takes me back to a time when things were fresh and full of life .. Feels so good to hear this ...I'm glad i grew up in this era..

[MacGyverTheDon]

@valeriaotorrino Também amo esta música. Desde que ouvi o sample dela ao fundo da faixa Wise por Ghostface Killah, ela se tornou uma das minhas favoritas.

[wiseoldude]

Some of the first of what was called by the DJ's; "Psychedelic Soul". Best experienced on a day or night just like the song. On a mattress on the floor, with some good weed, bottle of wine and ...damn, what the hell was that girl's name? Where the hell did she go??? Forgot her name but will NEVER forget this song!!!

[ainaverosa]

Amo esta música!

[huntersivins]

[mainemusso44]

man im only twenty but the dramatics is n will b my fav group the temps aint got nuttin on the dramatics.. but i love stevie n the bloodstones too

[nanowoman2006]

i feel so stupid i just discovered this song, and never knew it was an oldie cuz i thought a certain rapper made this song... how stupid to think a rapper could make a song like this, the original is better than any cover out here.

[bigwizzle45]

@nanowoman2006 Its okay..how old are you, if you don't mind me asking. Many young people ( or people in my age group) have no clue about most of the great oldies. They usually believe that today's producers created the music that isactually be sampled. The important thing is that you found the real soul of the music. Explore on my friend.

[seatekhax]

@nanowoman2006 could possibly have been beanie sigel? srry luv

[alla122]

I live in Holland and we don't have that problem. I had this record self and if i do good remember was this on the stax records. But i do not know how the members of this band have make in there live. It is stil a good song and there not so much song that can tell. thank you you place teh song on You tube a song from a other time....

[youngfly44]

Beanie Sigel -Purple Rain & Notorious B.I.G.- Somebody's gotta die

[bztvp]

@youngfly44 Yeah that beat went EXTRA HARD! Love the original here though too. Its funny they even took the feel of the hook lol

[TheZoey1943]

I THOUGHT THIS SONG WAS LOST FOR EVER..... GOOD TIMES

[kenpalmer1965]

I definitely remember this hit during the early seventies during my childhood days. An era of true sould music with real feeling in it. There will probably never be another generation of music like this again in our lifetime. Fantastic video!

[TheNightlife123]

that had to be the best song i have ever heard in my life!

[FoolBlown420]

damm this is a classic. great song!

[52381a]

I feel sorry for the kids that had to grow up listening to rap

[3aav3]

this was just sampled on a song by Fashawn called "In The Rain". dope!

[EsKiMozPiE]

THIS is a track! LOVE this.

[MrTtown53]

Ron Banks (lead), Larry "Squirell" Demps (bass), two of the best in the business. Possibly the only 2 who could rival The Temptations. This is how music was meant to be.

[katllo1]

Great vocals, great dynamics, great lyrics=The Dramatics!!!

[BossGada]

How come some of the greatest hits are associated with rain? The Dramatics, SWV just to name a few.

[Anubis3658]

Which one of u puddle fucks had the audacity to hit the fuckin dislike button???

Young no nuthin ass piss ants! GET THE FUCK OFF MY LAWN!!!

[lilshi2u]

@Anubis3658

[BoneThugsEternal]

sampled by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony for The Intro to E.1999 Eternal. Bone was perfect for this beautiful song with the harmony. In The Rain is a great song.

[ladytsprts]

Awesome song! 

[TheNomadintime]

Yep, I wanna go outside in the rain too, but I don't wanna cry... still booming song though. better than the version by ... can't remember sorry, my bad.

[BlaqueReign25]

@TheNomadintime It was by Keith Sweat.

[TheNomadintime]

@BlaqueReign25 hi, yes, thanks for the reminder. Sorry for the late reply. Peace.

[BlaqueReign25]

@TheNomadintime Your welcome and its quite alright.

[ANGELCITY323]

Such an awesome song. 

[yangyin09u]

Great old song & love your video Mama. Thanx! No wonder they call them The Dramatics.

[xanderabstract]

shame.. im 17, and i havent heard any of this from my parents, grandparents etc...

ish is whack... glad i found it tho !!!! such lovely music

[JGoodie02]

Keith Sweat & SWV sang this song, Beanie Sigel sampled it on Purple Rain. Did anybody else use this song in some way?

[Unidentified43]

@JGoodie02 Xscape

[JGoodie02]

@Unidentified43 Dang I got those two groups messed up. I was thinking of Xscape but put SWV. They're from the same time and have similar songs so that was an easy mistake. And they're both two of my favorite female r&b groups back then. Good lookin though

[CloudyDaze420]

@JGoodie02 check out Wise (In the Rain) by Ghostface Killah. it's a tribute to a friend of his who got shot. it's a great rendition of this song.

[ashleyc724]

Love the song..awesome. Wish I heard it more on the radio.

[mssmokey13]

@ashleyc724 yea me too wish i was in another place and time and just forget all the bullshit
