Dramatics singer Ron Banks deceased
Ron BanksCo-lead vocalist of The Dramatics speaking on the untimely death of founder and co- lead vocalist Ron Banks"

Ron Banks, husband, father, son, brother and friend died Thursday March 4, 2010 from a massive heart attack in his home of Detroit Michigan. I won't go into a bio, suffice to say that Ron not only an original member of The Dramatics, but also he was the founder of the group. He began singing at a very young age in family groups, grew up in a musical home, his mother sang in white supper clubs; his dad was a big band musician. He formed the Dramatics in 1962, and the rest as they say, "is history"

I was blessed to have become close to Ron, traveling with him and the Dramatics, taking photos for the Dramatics fan club, myspace, during these times I had many in-depth conversations with Ron. He worked with local inner city school districts, hoping to get computer training to inner city youth. Never one to shy away from fans, Ron would engage in deep conversations with fans after shows, pose for photos, and sign autographs.
