Ready For The World

A Michigan funk band with slight rock leanings, Ready for the World parlayed Melvin Riley's whining vocals and some trendy production into a pair of number one R&B hits in the mid-'80s for MCA. Riley, Gordon Strozier, Gregory Potts, Willie Triplett, John Eaton, and Gerald Valentine began on their own Blue Lake label before signing with MCA. The label reissued the song "Tonight," and it reached number six on the R&B charts in 1984. They followed it with "Deep Inside Your Love," another Top Ten R&B single, then had their first of two chart-toppers in "Oh Sheila." It got them a huge crossover smash, ultimately topping the pop lists as well. They scored their fourth consecutive Top Ten R&B record with "Digital Display," then had two flop singles before "Love You Down" put them back on top of the R&B world in 1986. It was their last hit and peaked at number nine pop. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi

if this ain't the perfect couples-only skate song, then I don't know what is. talk about flashbacks. let's keep the Jheri Curls back in the 80's but bring back RFTW. Now, you can go back to skating in the all-skating direction.

Wait, Greatest Hits -- plural? I mean, this is a good song, but what else is on this album? Was this not their only hit?
The 80s an 90s were the best......

I miss u
All I got to say is todays music has nothing on music of the 80s, that was my childhood. Love you down was part of the sound track of my growing up in the 80s. I wish we could get back to real music and leave that bullshit alone.
I'm glad I had the privilege to play with them before they made it big when they were in High school out of Flint, Mi. Much love to my brothers
