The record
Title: The Dramatics - Joy Ride
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1976, Soul, R&B, Funk
Matrix #: ABCD-955
Condition: VG+ (LM) | Members: The Dramatics (N/A) | Producer: Don Davis
Cultural Facts:
- Made in the Heart of Detroit: Joy Ride was recorded at Detroit's United Sound Systems, with Motown veterans including guitarist Robert White and keyboardist Earl Van Dyke among the musicians helping build the album's polished funk-soul backdrop.
- A Miles Davis Sideman Wrote the Hit: Bassist Michael Henderson wrote and produced āBe My Girl,ā the album's biggest pop single. Before becoming an R&B star himself, Henderson had spent several years playing electric bass with Miles Davis during Miles' wild early-'70s fusion period.
- Soul Was Meeting Disco: By 1976, dance music was reshaping R&B, and tracks like āFinger Feverā pushed the Dramatics toward a harder rhythmic groove without abandoning the elaborate vocal harmonies that had made songs like āIn the Rainā famous.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though itās not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
