Kano - I'm Ready (12" Version - 1980)

Subscribe to Original Disco Culture KZbin Chanel: goo.gl/YltjG7
Kano was a music project formed in Milan (Italy) in 1979 by producers/musicians Luciano Ninzatti, Stefano Pulga and Matteo Bonsanto. Kano was one of the earliest music groups to usher in a new style of dance music called Italo disco.
Kano's debut single was the 1980 international hit "I'm Ready", combining elements of 1970s disco, funk and R&B while extensively using synthesizers and percussive handclaps as well as raw-processed and vocoderized vocals. Kano's self-titled debut album also included "It's a War", "Ahjia", "Now Baby Now" and the instrumental track "Cosmic Voyager". "I'm Ready" peaked at #21 on the U.S. Black Singles chart, while "It's a War" and "Ahjia" were also big hits on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the U.S., reaching #2 for five weeks.

Music back in the days had the right balance of electronic elements and natural instruments. It actually sounded more futuristic and mystical than today's music, ironically.

I've always said the best era of music was the disco era. That era was like a liberational movement. People felt free to be themselves. Unlike today those times were more simpler. I remember vividly seeing KC & The Sunshine Band live. They were phenomenal. Dancing, singing and playing instruments superbly. Music and talent were authentic and real back then. The fashion, TV, movies😍 Every aspect of the disco era was magnificent. My all time favorite disco tune to this very day is the original long club version of Anita Ward's Rong My Bell (ring-a-ling-a-ling). Great memories.

I heard this song for the first time in 1990 in San Francisco on the radio, it sounded good, I asked my cousin who's singing it, he said, It's ooooold. It still sounds good & new to me.

[@laurieferguson6194]

This song reminds me of a house party I went too. Back in the 80's we always could find a good house party. We were about 16-18
