  VH1.com : The Dramatics : Biography
Between 1967 and 1971, the Dramatics made very little noise on the national scene.
By the end of 1971, Davis summoned the group to the studio to record producer/songwriter Tony Hester's "Watcha See Is Watcha Get." The single was the Dramatics' first major national hit, peaking at number three on the R&B charts, and sustaining chart action for 15 weeks.
The Dramatics' success continued with mainly R&B Top 20 hits during the heyday of disco, cracking the R&B Top Ten just once more with "Welcome Back Home" in 1980.

 Dramatics Biography
Although they had their share of dissension and trouble, the Dramatics took their time, polished their harmony and choreography, and became one of the biggest soul vocal groups of the 1970's, scoring nine top 10 RandB hits between 1971 and 1980.
The first Volt single,"Your Love Was Strange", flopped, and the Dramatics were dropped by the company, only to be resigned two years later when Davis put them in the creative hands of his associate, songwriter and producer Tony Hester.
After years of spilt-ups and solo records, the Dramatics finally regrouped in 1983 for a reunion record and decided to keep it together (with the exception of Howard).

The last track on the album is a beautiful classic Art-Rock ballad, the instrumental arrangements of which consist of very tasteful and diverse interplay between solos of bass guitar and passages of piano and string ensemble, all of which are clearly symphonic in character.
The moods on Winter's Edge are lightly pathetic rather than dramatic, and this is also the part of the album's conception directly linked with a sensation of winter and related phenomenon.
Her dramatics, complete with the eerie sound effects used to heighten the mood, help to make this a kind of dark symphonic rock album that quite successfully juggles elements of Gothic, metal and symphonic prog.
