I have a feeling orgers are going to lean towards The Dramatics.

The Dramatics had multiple leads, not just one.

There was also Wee Gee Howard and L.J. Reynolds.

I can't answer any of those questions, but based on whose songs I'm most familiar with and that have touched me more overall, I'll be the first and hopefully not the last to claim The Stylistics!! Kinda impartial to the falsetto which leads to enjoying Russell Tompkins.

I like The Dramatics, but mostly for two songs: In the Rain and Watchcha See is Whatcha Get.

I the menz with the falsetto! That's how I got to the Org, (Prince and his falsetto). I gotta go with The Stylistics, all day.

oh daym that made me laugh!

I fucks with anyone who reps Detroit because it seems Detroit always has the bomb ass musicians and such and the Dramatics definitely had that Detroit swagger about them but I have to go with the Stylistics just because Russell Thompson, Jr. was the greatest to ever sing falsetto.

The Dramatics. These songs alone trump anything the Stylistics put out...even though I do like the Stylistics.

Get Up Get Down was one of the greatest tracks of early '70s funk...

Damn it is hard cuz the Stylistics had some pretty strong tunes too.

I love the music of both groups but if I was a grown ass woman during that time....aint none of them Dramatics would have played with the kitty kat but 3 of them Stylistics coulda got some. Fine!

Girl don't knock average looking men. You know the rule, handsome men are good to look at but to get your back broke off on some acrobatical shit, you need a good ugly man...so them Dramatics could've got it!!! Plus they liked to sing all hard and aggressive...and you know how them aggressive sanging menfolk do....

I fucked one butt ass ugly man once in my life believing that shit and it was the worst sex ever. That fool got all tired after like 4 minutes and he looked all demonized when he came. Shit scared me. I felt violated and deceived. He had back fat too. I didn't know men could get back fat. I hate men clothes cuz they hide shit...make a dude look like he live at the gym when he really outside looking in.

I love a good aggressive man voice. That's why I like the Dramatics but....they just aint fuckable IMO. They dressed real nice tho.

I love both groups. Get Up And Get Down is some of that bad ass 70's blaxploitation

funk that you can't help but groove too but i would give the Stylistics the nudge

because of Russell and i remember as a kid my mom listening to all her Stylistics

45's. Linda Creed wrote some amazing songs for them and they still sound great

today.

Damn I didn't mean for you to do a taxi cab confessional!!!

THE SEXY NON COMPARABLE FANTASTIC BIRD SINGING BOW TIE WEARING STYLISTICSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Dont mess with the Styles

....

Some of the ladies at my job have said they can respect an ugly guy with confidence. Because he'll just keep trying and trying until eventually a woman will say yes.

..but to answer the question, I'm going with who I heard first..The Stylistics. The Dramatics were great too but "People Make The World Go Around" seals my vote.

I like both groups but for nostalgia's sake I have to go with the Stylistics: they were a staple on radio when I was little and I remember hearing their songs the most. Y'all got me over here ready to make a "Quiet Storm" mix before I go to bed with these two groups

The Stylistics
