  • there will never be another group like the Dramtic.

  • Very true song..I love it !!

  • this song is dedicated to one of my best friend who was shot & killed at the age of 17 Reginald Hays i love you & miss you dearly. when i heard the terrible news i played this song over & over.

  • if you have ever hurt , if you ever loved this hard , this song has got to bring tears to your eyes. ive been there, and there is no return, no matter what, there is no return.

  • @fitzbaby11 thank you , thats the truth all day all ways

  • This song is DEEP! I can't imagine anyone listening to this and not becoming an instant fan. Never was a Temptations fan (much respect to them though) but I sure do love the Dramatics.

  • @Butt3rflies83 yes its is i can play this song over and over again

  • @Butt3rflies83 agree 100%

  • I'll never get over him :( ... My most truthful attic treasure!

  • OMG...I send this 2 me........

  • why all this color highlights on the u-tube pages now,i hope it serve a purpose ,but to me it is very distracting.

  • I never thought that love can be so doggone hard! Wow!!

  • People say love makes you weak. I disagree; it makes you vulnerable.

  • I've been there. A lot of people have..

  • "No matter how hard I try, I can't, I can't, I can't". If "pain" had a voice, it is LJ Reynold's in this song. When I hear this song, his voice rips a hole in my heart.

  • Realmente dramático.. je, je je !!! Venga, hombre, no hay para tanto !!!

  • DAMN

  • Love can be a prison can't it? A good one because everyone needs that special person to walk through life with.

  • Without a doubt LJ Reynolds was one of the strongetst tenors ever put on wax. Listen to this brother go over the top. I saw him and Dramatics live at the Strand in Redondo Beach, Ca. You should've been there.

  • It's hard than a mutha fucka when u can't get that special someone of 21 yrs off yo mind. I tried and I tried but we departed under circumstances beyond our control but I still can't him off my mind. Luv u Peweee

  • MY MIND IS IN OVERDRIVE....DAMN!

  • THERE'S A REASON WHY THERE IS A DISTINCTION BETWEEN FASHION AND STYLE....FASHION, IS FLEETING...DOESN'T LAST, BUT MIGHT COME BACK....

    STYLE, HAS SUBSTANCE AND IS AD INFINITUM. (MORE THAN LONG LASTING, SUBSTANTIALLY SO) FASHION CAN/DOES GO OUT OF STYLE...BUT STYLE MAINTAINS AND SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!!!!

    THESE GUYS ARE PURE...UMITIGATED STYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @GREENSTEVE62153  well spoken my friend

  • my kattz, they can't do it like this anymore !!!!!

  • thanks my dude for posting this song son!! my love of my life past away in 2007 and this reminds me of her so much again thank you from the bottom of my heart god bless you always!!

  • This really is the biz..Thankyou.

  • Being heart broken and without love is the worst... Yet even the darkest days shall pass... This song is one of the best songs the Dramatics made

  • I will never get over the fact that Ron gone, but when I hear this song it sadden me and it brings back real memories. RIP in peace Ronnie

  • heard this at 19 in 2007, still gets to me alot whenever I get dumped I put this on because this is the only medicine that helps out a broken heart.

  • The first time I played this song for a woman was all it took. Now she's my wife.. I love you baby!! Daddy

  • My husband sent this song to me and I have been playing it every since. I love it and I love him. His message was loud and clear. I love you baby!!

  • I heard this song on Saturday my husband & myself...OMG!!!! brought back memorys about us in things we go through and we sang this song together and it was very very heart felt with us tears came to our eyes, I LOVE MY HUSBAND WITH THE REALNESS!!!! THE PAIN in our Hearts when you are in LOVE!!! Love can be so hard at times...92.3 FM Detroit, MI with Fuddy oh right now he is the King of the Oldies!!!!!

  • I heard this song on Saturday my husband & myself...OMG!!!! brought back memorys about us in things we go through and we sang this song together and it was very very heart felt with us tears came to our eyes, I LOVE MY HUSBAND WITH THE REALNESS!!!! THE PAIN in our Hearts when you are in LOVE!!! Love can be so hard at times...

  • beautiful it just take you away

  • Yeah he is "sanging", and he makes you feel the pain, or remember that feeling when you can't get over that lost love. That line, "YOur love won't give my mind any rest", says it all!

  • is he "sanging", or what? such a soulful soul stirring song, we can really feel his pain.What ever money he made for singing this song, he earned every penny. oh! i think it would be better without the star wars effects

  • This is music & quality Song writing ...not whats being played today...Thank GOD I was born in the 70's NYC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • THE WORD SOUL JUST STAYS IN THE MINE WITH THIS SONG!!

    PERFECT

  • when your heart says one thing and your mind say's another:( Just can't get over you:(

  • mama i tried to give you the world,but the one thing i could not do is protect you from the abuse of daddy ,iam so sorry,i love and miss you more than life it self.please give me a sign to let me know that you are ok,you tried to protect us to.no one in this world will ever love us unconditional the way you did,i cry cause i miss you so much,this song is for you forever.i love you mama and happy birthday from your daughter.stella.iam sorry mama.

  • @comonlaflo rest in all the peace and happiness you can find you deserve it mama.

  • LJ Reynolds sinks his teeth into this melody. Great, great soul music.

  • We all have at one time or other in our lives, at a point with a love one we can't get over, but loosing them. There's a lesson to be learned from it. RK, you know who you are, I'll never get over you!!!

  • "It would be a SHAME to let some 1 else" TAKE Africa's place in our hearts and minds ("don't mind); that the song "Sundown" alludes to our being taken away in the nite by our "best friend"; that "Just Shopping" is about our having become so materialistic that when our true love attempts to woo us...we dont buy it. Sad.

  • Africans (and even "Africans in Amerikkka"), are by nature a very spiritual ppl-- The Dramatics proved this irrefutably! Unfortunately, like with many of our "spirituals" of the past, we only now see the "obvious" messages contained in our songs of longings. I would like to s u g g e s t that beyond the most obvious meaning, that "Be My Girl" is a deep ancestrial cry for us today to have a "brown eyed" worldview that "converts" us from " needing 2" (african- amerikklan); that "it would...

  • @ncrewments Dayummm!!!..LOL that sounds like something i would have said, or wanted to say!! that is some deep Afrocentric, Metaphysical stuff going on! Got my Pineal Gland on high...LOL

  • @ncrewments The one thing I definitely agree with is the fact that we as African American came from spiritual roots. However if we do not get away from this go to church Sunday religious thinking, we will never recover back to the place these songs speak of and we long for. I believe in going to church, but I believe more that God is love as these songs suggest.

  • @ncrewments I agree with the fact that African Americans are very spiritual which is why our children are crying out for love by displaying their hate. Maybe when we change our Sunday church religious thinking and start spiritually seeking God who is love then, only then we might see Love again through our music.

  • i was blessed to see the dramatics and the dell together with my best girl, u can bet we had one beautiful night,one of my most remembed nights thank you guys from and old geezer (67 years old still partying) toyman

  • So much indivualism in too much of todays music. A very sad testamony to what we have lost collectively as ppl when the little waynes of the world can be called artist. Where are songs that once expanded our humanity...rather than diminishing it?

  • the 5 who dislike this song must have been in love and had there girl taken away from them....cuz how in the hell can you dislike this song...better to have love than not to have love at all....dammmm

  • @maurice78ful SOMETHING MUST BE SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THEM; MAYBE THEY ARE PERVERTED OR SOMETHING. THIS IS TOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!  I LOOOOOOOOVE IT LOOOOOOVE IT.

  • This song is one of the best songs ever made. The 70's was the best years ever when it came to real soulful r&b slow jams. Love the Dramatics 4 life.

  • dramatics always make a woman fell good

  • Man i saw them at the IMA arena in Flint back in the 70s, was a kid been hooked ever since, 1000 thumbs up for The Singing Ass Dramatics.

  • I saw them as the opening act for James Brown, in Los Angeles, 1971: Old School is the only way.

  • so happy that I grew up on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This a a great song. takes me way back to High School. The best music ever ,and the best groups that sung the songs. Wish i could go back for  weekend of house parties!!!!

  • These young black people today dont,acnt and never will have this kind of soul they cant sinnnnnnng! they dont have it like that!!!! The stuff on these R&B staions just dont the only station I know that plys music like is The TRUE R&B STATION IS THE ONE AND ONLY WDAS 105.3 IN PHILADEPHIA THECAPITOL OF SOUL!!

  • what words can say any more than what we hear in the songs.GREAT THAN AND NOW

  • I grew up in 70's and Damm this song take's back to High School Cali. Gardenia High and my First Love.

  • @elizabeth23g Thats wat Im talkin bout Babygirl" house parties" with lights down real low!! MMM"

  • My girl turned me on to this song... I knew about the Fabulous dramatic but had never heard this cut.. She knew my man was driving me crazy so she played this for me and we cried.... He's singing like his heart is really broke...and as the song played I cried harder & harder & harder

  • How beautiful is the soulful poetry of the old school????? It's like nothin like actually havin youtube to travel back to the days of true musicianship... and I wasn't yet born to marvel and experience these gems. "I Can't Over" the beauty of the melodic vocals and instruments that make music worth listenin to.

  • @poetryselite I agree 100%.

  • Your love your love wont give my body a rest.....I love this song more each time I HEAR IT

  • relax player

    

  • I would love to see the dramatics on tvone unsung to tell there story i luv this group so if something out there watch unsung like me vote the dramatics story plz

  • I have just reconnected (via the internet) with my High School Sweetheart. I had been looking for her for over 17 years, which was the last time we saw each other. She was married at the time and I was not trying to cause any problems for her. But now she is a widow and I am in a long term relationship, but the fire is still in my soul. Who knows what the future holds...but damn it is hard to get over the one that you let get away....

  • @Boopey61 The Front Row was the spot...No matter where you sit, you have a super view...We would always get a loge.....Loved that place.....Love the Dramatics...JFK 1975

  • It sound even better now than it did when it was the jam. MY, MY, MY. I wonder what happened to him?

  • This is my type of music it talks to you , it calls to you how you feel about some one. This is some true R&B soul no doubt about it , I cant resist it that's how deep the music was..

  • I saw the Dramatics years ago at a place in Redondo Beach, Ca. called "The Strand". Man what a concert.

  • Flame to strong for the fighter:(

  • 149,682 Hit's let's you know how old were getting....I'm sad for the young folks...they will never have the fellings we had for the true love songs of the good years.....love you all !

  • Sweet song :)

  • Hard to believe, I just found this one about 8 months ago on an old CD I'd kept just in case the world ended and got totally entranced by the background guys for about 10 weeks straight!

  • Just brings back such wonderful memories of garage parties and such when we really danced with each other. Thanks for sharing!

  • This song is amazing and perfect baby making music.  "Son, welcome to the song that brought you into this world, enjoy"

  • They don't make music like this anymore......thanks so much for sharing!

  • @thebestoldskool Teabaggers would be my guess.

  • I agree TractorBoy 50, This is real music .

  • this was when music was music BIG LOU

  • I had the pleasure of seeing LJ Reynolds sing this song. So much passion, when listening to this I start to cry. For a man to say these words to a woman, and for a woman to receive these word is truly a blessing.

    LJ - I Can't Get Over You....RIP my brother

  • All

  • LJ can blow. he sang this song with so much heart and depth. I love this song so much it reminds me of my teenage years in the seventies when you could have a good time without anyone getting killed.

  • Can you imagine Soul , R&B without the sounds of the Dramatics ? Just cant do.

  • never knew ron banks passed...RIp

  • The arrangement on this record is incredible. There is so much contrast going on. And then there's the vocals and the melody. Just an absolutely tremendous performance.

  • this was out when players was players not like today where are the real players

  • woodhill park cleveland ohio,on a hot summer,and we all use to just hang out with our cars,and jam to songs like this,when times was so much better....derrick elie.

  • This song should have a damn sight more thumbs up

  • This is what music should sound like!

  • L J REYNOLDS,GERALD ALSTON,DAVID RUFFIN or MARVIN JUNIOR..... vote.

  • @mzimba1963

    Exactly!

  • @mzimba1963 All of the above. Don't forget Russell Thompkins Jr., Eddie Levert, Eugene Record and the list goes on and on. It's soul music man...........................­...

  • This is what you call putting your heart into it!!!!!! love it........

  • L.J. Reynolds was the lead in this beautiful song. Ron Banks was the falsetto in the back.

  • oh this man makes you feel his pain !you've found yoself a new love and its driving me insane

  • That dude sang the hell out of this song

  • i love this song

  • See this is GROWN FOLKS MUSIC. We had BALANCE in our music. The stuff today is LIMITED to F'that girl, F'this girl, I got 2 and 3 girls and her friend, I kissed a girl and I like it, doublin' up, F'ing in the club, birhtday sex, upgradin' somebody, umbrella's, etc. WTF!! The New Skoolaz don't sing about breaking up, making up and staying together.....THEY SING ABOUT KICKING YOU TO THE CURB and with the quickness!

  • This song is the sh&t! You cant just feel it . Music today sucks.

  • Does anyone know where i can find the lyrics to this song?

  • OMG! I have been trying but I can't get over you.

  • im going thru changes too and its hard to break up a long term relationship and just walk away the lyrics says it all for me

  • If you listen to this really closley you can feel the song. 

  • I STILL LOVE THIS SONG!! I'M AN OLE G!!

  • I've listened to this song seven times. I just can't get enough! 

  • Real Music At Its Finest!

  • Damn!.

  • These Detroit boys keeping it Hot! I hate to see Dee having so many probs now. Dee use to have best looking, stylish men in country. Fine as luxury cars and hot as muscle cars like the 442 and Transam. Alabam/Miss roots country thirst for love with city style. No men could talk woman out of panties like man from the Dee! One doctor from the Dee went after mine and I held out! Oh but the chase was so sweet! Now, I so hated I turned that down!!! Two Hot people with medical knowledge!!!

  • I can't get over this song! OMG!

  • @womanlybassplayer

    LOL! Me either!!!

  • This is one of the great R&B love ballards of the late 70's. This song reminds me so much of how the Dells use to throw down. LJ Reynolds is great!

  • I truly can't get over you....damn KD why you have to do this to me...Why me?...

  • Spent a many a night playing this one while fogging up some windows in my car !

    at the jersey city armory,our huge fro's bellbottoms and platform shoes,i'm chockin up now !

  • Damn....flashbacks!

  • This one is the one - of all of my favorites! Even though the man it reminds me of I did not know when this song was extremely popular..I was about 18 and he 24 at the time. However, we didn't meet until 1987 and I always played this old skool jam after we broke up in '91. Got back together in 2002 and married. I still love this song. It brings me chills everytime it hear it. Thanks Dramatics for keeping me going!

  • @SheilaTikeyla your story fits this song. glad you had a happy ending. I'm from the school where we would call the girl up and play this over the phone.lol

  • this is what you call timeless

  • Miami '77...this song on this date 9/15, changed my life...I miss you Rori Nadine S....my record of this song is long gone...thanks for posting~
