It’s a fine point, but to many the finest moment or biggest hit of The Dramatics would be “Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get”
from 1971. It was very popular in Detroit, where I lived back then. Even my parents like it.

I was wondering what happened to Jody. I’m pretty sure he was still left. Am I right?

Ah yes! All the married GIs at U-Tapao RTNAF, home of the 307th bomb wing, flying those lovely B-52s day in day out....they all chatted about that song, my friend!
All in those days, the bomber squadrons were assigned TDY180s, and at day 180,:you get credit for overseas assignment and became a base home boy. As a rule, all bomber squadrons personnel were on aircraft en route home...on day 179!! So, in my 2 years and 8 months at the great U.T.,I saw some of the guys for a second time.
