Back in the 80s I was in the Army and four of us would go to the Rec Center, which isn't a place that had a basketball court and a weight lifting area, to my surprise it was a music center with about 6 or 7 sound proof rooms along with any musical instrument you could possibly think at our will!! I was, of course, shocked to see. We all went there to shoot some hoops, instead I asked my buddies if any of them could play, they all did! So, for the unbelievable price of $1.00 an hour we picked out Marshall amps, Fender Strats or Gibson Les Paul guitars and a bass. Inside each room was a drum kit. And these drum kits were incredible! I'm talking about 15 to 20 piece drum kits and top notch cymbals! It was nuts! Anyways...I played drums and discovering nobody could sing, I took it among myself to sing. We went on to playing all around Germany at the Armed Forces bases playing in numerous competitions. It was awesome! And yes, it's not easy for everyone who played drums to sing lead at the same time.

The reason Rare Earth got a hold of "Get Ready" is because they were signed to Motown by Berry Gordy. In the early 70's, Gordy was looking to branch out and include white groups and singers among the Motown stable. Rare Earth was the most successful and thus the most famous of those groups. Sitting here right now I can't actually remember any of the other white Motown bands but I remember there were a few.

Rare Earth was a phenomenal band in the studio and Live and as far as I know still holds the distinction of being the only all-white band signed by MOTOWN Records. They could do fusions of rock, R&B, jazz, had an unmatched stage presence with top musicianship, great vocals and positively dripped funk from every pore. They were a staple for parties when i was in high school back in medieval times 😁(1970-71).

Peter Rivera had one of the most interesting voices in rock music at the time. The fact he was the drummer of the band on top of that amazing lead vocal is even more cool.

Peter Hoorelbeke(AKA Peter Rivera)along with Grand Funk's Don Brewer(also a drummer)were some of my favorite vocalists.

Originally by the Temptations/ written by Smokey Robinson. Covered by the first white act for Motown. Ranked higher and sold more than Temptations version. Cool behind scenes history involved.

"Get Ready" is a Motown song written by Smokey Robinson, which resulted in two hit records for the label: a U.S. No. 29 version by The Temptations in 1966 and a U.S. No. 4 version by Rare Earth in 1970. Rare Earth was the first all white group hired by Motown!

YESSSSSS !!!! Another good one is by a dude named Lee Michaels..."Will you Be Happy or Will You Be Sad"...HE PLAYED THE HELL OUT OF THAT ORGAN !!! A LEGEND !! Another excellent tune is by Brian Auger and The Oblivion Express titled "Happiness is Just 'Round The Bend". It was a song that the R&B group the Stylistics (?) sung AND HE WROTE THE LYRICS.
