Joy Ride

Joy Ride

Digitally re-mastered and expanded edition of this 1976 album from the R&B icons. The follow up to the best-selling album Drama V, Joy Ride proved to be even more successful for the Detroit-based Dramatics, spawning a US Top 20 chart hit with 'Finger Fever' and two US Top 10 R&B hit singles ('Be My Girl,' #3 and 'I Can't Get Over You,' #9). The quintet had established themselves as hit makers with classics such as 'Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get' and 'In the Rain' for Volt Records. The three primary producers on Joy Ride had been key players in the group's previous success - Don Davis, songwriter Tony Hester and key musician/artist in his own right Michael Henderson. In addition, two members of the group - Ron Banks and L.J. Reynolds - stepped up with each producing one track while longtime arranger Jimmy Roach wrote and produced another standout cut, 'I Get Carried Away.' Henderson's 'Be My Girl' quickly became one of the album's highlights (with his own version competing with the group's for US airplay) propelling Joy Ride into the US Top 20 R&B Albums chart.
