What you see is what you get ...

A pre-disco recording and release by a group called "The Dramatics" circa
1971.  I'm pretty sure it made the top 10 on the R&B charts.

However, the phrase "What you see is what you get" was first made popular by
Flip Wilson by his character "Geraldine".  That had to be around 1968 or so.

(Gee, am I dating myself or What????)
