Ron Banks, a founding member of the ’70s R&B group the Dramatics, died at his home in Detroit on Mar. 4. The cause was a heart attack, according to Reuters. He was 58.

Banks, known for his falsetto, was born in Detroit on May 10, 1951. He, along with five others, formed the Dynamics in the early ’60s. The group soon became a quintet — Banks, Rob Davis, Larry Reed, Larry “Squirrel” Demps and Elbert Wilkens — when founding member Robert Ellington left the group, and they soon changed their name to the Dramatics.
