Live It Up is an album by The Dramatics, released in 1974. This soul and R&B group from Detroit enjoyed great success during the 1970s, and this album is one of their most notable projects. It perfectly exemplifies their distinctive style, characterized by rich vocal harmonies, lush orchestral arrangements and catchy melodies. I found this one in an old creepy record shop, between weird materials, and I am glad it still sounds very good, not so dramatic then…
