First Time Hearing Ready For The World - Love You Down | REACTION 🔥🔥🔥

[@jeffdickens9556]

One of my favorites, you can't guess how many girls fell for this ❤

[@Anarchist_Noir]

It is a Jheri curl...Flint's Own Ready For The World

[@farrellcityking1]

Prince’s eye for talent might be unmatched.

[@joeblow26]

You're right about Prince but he had nothing to do with Ready For the World... A lot of people think Oh Sheila song was from Prince because of his ties with Sheila E but the song had nothing to do with either of them.

[@tasharradavis124]

I think this cut came out in 1985

[@calmnrelaxed]

This song always reminded me a lot of the kind work Prince was doing at the time...well, the r&b stuff Prince was doing at the time

[@primeminister66]

They modeled themselves off Prince for sure. Met the lead singer some years ago. Down to earth dude

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

Yup, completely agree. 👌🏾

[@tracyface69]

Oh yea, they were totally influenced by Prince and the MPLS Sound he created.

[@williamhayes981]

Actually, that group's song "Oh Sheila" was an actual dedication to Sheila E, one of Prince's drummer/artists. The lead singer was a Prince fanatic.

[@primeminister66]

I always love people that listen to this song for the first time! 1986 In the house!

[@Rico19735]

Slow danced alot at them house parties back in the day to this song!!

[@chadmasters3935]

Hell we slow danced to this song at our Jr High dances...lol

[@MarcusWilliams-jp6hy]

Lol, this was that slow drag joint

[@victorzavala3390]

The jam! 🔥

[@CatriniaSmith-li7de]

Oh Sheila is another one of their hits. This was a popular group in the eightys😎😍😎

[@Battle_Faith-Ministries]

Oh Sheila is their #1 hit. However, Tonight is their first hit

[@sleazemetal5440]

Smooth jam from back in the days, got another jam by Ready for the world - ' deep inside your love". give it a spin, real great smooth jam. Ballad jam/80's funk

[@jessearmstead2237]

This song is a “ mood enhancer “.. once all parties have arrived , let the games begin. RFTW is a very underrated band with collection of upbeat classics to after hours interludes for lovers. Try “ Tonite” it’s speaks for itself and for something upbeat “ Oh Sheila” .. enjoy ❤

[@aaronlucas223]

Da Basement redid this on the Nutty Professor soundtrack. Da Basement was a group out artist of the Devante Swing camp. The Camp had Stevie I., Missy, Timbaland, Magoo, Tweet, Playa( Static Major, Smokey, Black), and his brother Mr Dalvin, and others .

[@michaelsmith8947]

When Ashley throw that one hand on her hip…….its a wrap😂😂😂 I know you got the strongest thumb in the world, clicking that pen….

[@cherokeehogman9170]

aint heard or even thought of this song in decades. thank you for the memories.

[@kelleydavis100]

It’s amazing how quickly this transformed me back to 17 and 18 years old, back when I was cute, havin fun, before my life even started…those were some fun and carefree days ❤

[@rodneygreer38]

Listen to their song...gently...real music

[@kennydeez..1774]

🔥🔥They Had Soooo Many Hits Back On The Day.🔥🔥..Great Reaction Miss Ashley👍🏾💯👍🏾

[@carlataliaferro4326]

I'm in here killing myself laughing at Ashley. Yep...the stink face and the hand on the hip is doing it. Yep, we had it like that back then, Asley. 🔥🎶

[@rockinchandler]

Best r&b song of all time

[@dtr579]

I remember I went to see Ready For The World, Troop, Mary Jane Girls, Sheila E and Kool and the Gang in the mid 80s. Great concert.

[@LiverpoolFan74]

I BET IT WAS!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@kristle_virgo-empathic4683]

😂😂😂 you funny. I have subscribed to your channel. I'm 47, and I like seeing you react to my era of music. I don't even listen to the radio anymore. I stay on top of new age music Just through social media, but i'm stuck in the 80's and 90's

[@cedrickrichardson6719]

It was the group Ghostown DJs that did an upbeat remake of this song.

[@mardoggyo6712]

Best R&B song all time?? This and Alexander O’Neal’s If You Were Here Tonight are my two favorites. I say 3rd place might be New Editions Still In Love. Maybe Twisted by Keith Sweat. Tough. Great song. Always thought it was Prince when I was a kid.

[@bakercarl8518]

Whenever me and my lady had a problem. This was my fix it song.❤

[@KenDavis-d2h]

Ready For The World, from Flint Michigan,

[@ccryptotrapper6128]

The song by them is ‘tonight’

[@obdiane]

Now, that's a mood. 😁 That was that "your fast butt think you grown "song.

[@randywilliams2907]

Hence the group name. Ready for the world!

[@hervehightower2364]

this truly one favorites songs and groups this a good one ready for the world.

[@vincentsweargen8436]

I share some mutual friends with members of this group. The guitarist and my best friend had the same music teacher. Also, Melvin Riley Jr. (lead singer) and I are related.

I had a large number of RFTW tapes! Another group during this time is called "Dream Boy"! They also made some good music!

[@darrylwaddell9838]

Leave our curls alone we thought we was the shit but I cut mine off after a month (got it right before the summer) wasn't a good idea...lol 😂

[@LadybugLuv]

I always say Thank God, I got a perm right before the Jheri Curls came out. You couldn't put a curl over a perm! So thankfully there are no 80's pics floating around of me with a curl! Lol! But maybe I missed out because everyone and their grandma had a curl! 💜

[@darrylwaddell9838]

@@LadybugLuv You didn't miss nothing and after that it just looked better on everyone else...I was good after that with a bald fade cut

[@artybojangles4153]

Yes that's that sound that makes me happy again

[@TheRealKymiPoo]

🧡 Yes Jheri Curl! 😂 TFS!

[@tlucas9798]

I believe this song as well as oh! Sheila…. Is inspired by Sheila E.

[@cwell510]

Used to slowdance to this song at junior high school dances and house parties back in the day...

[@shire89]

they have two other songs i like "Slide Over" and "Tonight", seen them in concert with New Edition and mint Condition back in the 80s.

The song Tonight

[@sandramiller6752]

Awesome thanks ❤❤❤❤

[@artdogg50]

I still feel like one of those bands that were kind of underrated. Don't get me wrong this was a huge hit and that had their share of hits to check out. The woman were definitely feeling the lead singer Melvin Riley back then, heck even still today.

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

Really enjoyed your reaction. Was ready for you to say something like _”MOTHERFLOWER if you mention my AGE one mo’ time!”_ 😂✌🏽

It was made a dance track on 1994 SoSo Def All-Stars by INOJ

[@djrh3690]

I’m sure your hubby loves it after you have completed old school slow jam reactions.🫣

[@tkremarkTK]

True Story, my best man in my wedding and business partner, ran a record label in Columbus, OH. He would put out compilation records putting local artists on the album and then spend money for a songs from well known artists but were not as huge as they once were. Ready for the World came over to his house one day discussing about putting a song on the album, but they never eneded up putting it on there. We got a song from the group called Troop. Some of the local artists would eventually get their songs picked up for soundtrack movies including Blade with Wesley Snipes,(my friend has a Gold album from that) Bulworth with Warren Beatty and Halle Berry (he has a platinum album for that) He also produced the soundtrack for Fakin the funk with Morris Chestnut and Tatiana Ali. Snoop had a song on that soundtrack and my friend is seen in Snoops video for the song playing basketball in Snoops backyard.

[@adublbeatz8656]

This is one of my favorite groups that don't always get the publicity. That one album was fire!! So many songs on it!! I thought I was cool and smoothe back then, playing them songs in the backround while on the phone with a young lady...LOL...#Macaroni
