Does anyone know who sings lead vocals on "Beware of the Man (With the Candy in His Hand)" that shrill and raspy falsetto that’s screamed out at intervals?

off tinternet:

The lead vocals on "Beware of the Man (With the Candy in His Hand)" by The Dramatics are primarily sung by L.J. Reynolds. Ron Banks also provides vocals on the track. The song, written by Tony Hester, is part of the album "A Dramatic Experience"

Thanks Simon!

But you are not sure? I wanna use it in a book I'm writing, so need to be sure :-)

Something like this:

"Several powerful vocalists deliver the message, but most prominent is xxx, whose deep and raw voice repeatedly cries out hoarsely and in falsetto, sending a shiver down your back."

It really does Simon T, thanks a lot!

"before an otherworldly scream gives way to soul with a social conscience. L.J’s angry, frustrated vocal sits atop the arrangement as the track quickens"

William "Wee Gee" Howard, imo, best lead vocalist The Dramatics ever had 👍

Kev,

Got to be a close call, Kev, between him and Ron Banks but I’ll probably agree with you on Wee Gee.
