Biography
Ready For The World burst onto the music scene in 1985 with their self-produced debut album, which featured hits like “Oh Sheila,” “Love You Down,” and “Digital Display,” propelling the Flint, Michigan funk band to international stardom. The group's blend of sensuous vocals and trendy production, along with their stage presence, solidified their status as bonafide musicians, with "Oh Sheila" becoming a massive success, topping multiple Billboard charts and earning them a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.
In 1986, Ready For The World followed up their debut with the equally successful album, Long Time Coming, featuring the hit single "Love You Down." The band, comprised of Gerald Valentine, John Eaton, Gordon Strozier, Melvin Riley, Gregory Potts, and Willie Triplett, continued to showcase their musical prowess and cross-over appeal, reaching #1 on the R&B charts and #9 on the Pop charts with their memorable slow jam.
