Before assuming the name The Dramatics, the vocal sextet comprised of Rob Davis, Ron Banks, Larry Reed, Robert Ellington, Larry "squirrel" Demps, and Elbert Wilkens initially released two singles as The Dynamics on the Wingate imprint that saw no chart action. The group became a quintet upon Ellington's exit, and also changed their name to The Dramatics. They migrated to the Sport label and in 1967 released their first single to hit the charts, "All Because of You," which peaked at number 42 on the R&B charts. However, in spite of the exposure and limited record sales, some groupmembers became discouraged, which facilitated a major personnel change. William "wee Gee" Howard replaced lead singer Reed, and Willie Ford of The Capitols replaced bass Rob Davis. Also during this time, The Dramatics had signed with producer Don Davis' production company.
