I was in middle school and this song hit so hard for our generation. Won a talent show in the 8th grade singing it with my homeboy who I went on to later be in an R&B group with right after college.

Ready for the world has always been one of my favorites.

"Love You Down" from 1986 is a good Ready For The World ballad. One of my favorites from them.

Lol the expression on her face is priceless

Ready for the World 🌎 like many artist's back in the 80's often "beat around the bush" unlike today when they mention every part of the human anatomy without hesitation or shame,so technically they really was getting us "Ready for the World" 🌎,...the World of music 🎶🎤 and the World ( in general ) that we live in Today 😅❤

@@smoothoperator7023 Yes indeed.. "Beating round the Bush" is a old classic line used to when referring to sex or any kind of Grown up stuff !!! Basically they usually kept all their song's "clean" and/ or kid friendly.. Clean for the Elderly, Grandparents and all the christian minded, bible loving people during that time period 💯 😂😆

@@laurajohnson2387 true,but still they kept it relatively" Clean" compared to some song's being recorded today !!!! Probably the most dirtiest thing they said in this song is when he said " you so wet" and that could be referring to being caught the rain 🌧️ or taking a shower 🚿 or anything!!!! 😂

I was just a little kid when this came out…and I remember all the “grown” people singing it.. I think RFTW had a “couple” of songs very similar to this “Slide Over” and “Out of Town Lover”(which is probably my favorite) but I can understand why people would not like it! But I 💯 appreciate your honesty it is why I am a proud supporter of your channel 🙏🏻❤️💯

Thanks for the request, Michael. I was in 7th Grade and owned the cassette. ✌🏽

Angela, I think you would have to be a part of those times to understand the progression of sensual music for r&b. I remember buying this album as a teenager and it was a combination of sensuality and rhythm that made this group alluring. This was the era of New Edition, Boys 2 Men and those groups that followed with harder stuff. RFTW was timid compared to what was to come!!!!! 😮😮

It doesn't float my 🚢⛵ boat! I may have suggested this following song before, but here goes regardless! It came out in 1982, and it's by the band Imagination, and 😊🦊🕯️🎄☃️the song is Just An Illusion It's a very mystical song with a very profound and intriguing theme Check it out 🌅🌄Toodles

I love "Digital Display."

Another great one from this same album is Slide Over. Baby making music!

That’s the jam right there straight 🔥

No worries, Angela. I felt embarrassed for you, although I thought the lyrics were hilarious... I couldn't stop laughing.

Yup, Ready For The World has a nice little run.

Reminds me of the Eddie Murphy movie " Coming To America " when he comes out with his band " Sexual Chocolate '😂😂😂😂😂😂

I love the instrumentals of this song... I like the song also

The power of words goes a long way! He was quite explicit, nothing to the imagination.

This song is not ready😂hi there beautiful person have a wonderful night ❤

i was a teen when this came out,,,,kinda song that would get a young man in trouble,,,,,ha,,,,ha,,,,ha

Ready for the world "digital display" is good song

They played this alot especially at night on the radio

I was 14 when that came out and found it hilarious even then. This was the generation when sexually explicit music was coming en vogue 😅

Check out stevie wonder "Boogie on reggae woman"

Couple from Isley brothers - That lady - Summer Breeze

This is grown folks music grown folks music.

Omg i will never hear this song the same because of you😂😂😂😂😂😂

Digital Display is another song of theirs that's more in the vain of Oh Sheila.

Hey I love your honest reactions. You should react to RL- Good Man. Make sure it's the video

Bet you loved Twista-Girl Tonight? Same song.

I had just turned 21 and this song I couldn’t play in front of my grandma

😂😂 legends

Ready for the world let me love you down

Classic song

Ok…..they were 19 ish at the time. They were trying to be as sexual as Prince, but, couldn’t quite pull it off. I like it back in 85 as I was 14. Of course, what’s on a 14 year old boys mind but girls. Begging for tonight. 😂

They kinda pulled it off it was a hit for them not as big as what followed of course

They took alot from PRINCE with there look and sound a little DEHBARGE

All music isn't for everyone, especially when it's generational. I was 13 when it came out and it hit different back then. Idk. I don't like the music of today so I understand. But our generation did spawn "Against All Odds" so we had a few bangers that transcend generations.

Hi Angela! If I had the guts to make a reaction video to your reaction video, I would send it to you to make a reaction video about it. I like you very much!

i blame this kind of music on prince,,,,ha,,,,ha,,,ha!!!!!

I couldn't get into that one either. It was too repetitive for one thing.

Girl...don’t act like you don’t have some Chris Brown songs in your phone. C’mon now, Angela. Breezy gets MUCH more explicit than this AND we rock with it. Nothing wrong with not feeling “Tonight” but the way you were “shocked” had me looking @ you sideways. ✌🏽

Don't worry, I never liked this song and I never liked Ready fFor The World. They were too influenced by Prince

Yikes!

Slide Over is a better song

I hated this song, I was a teen, I thought it was gross. Lots of guys liked it though in high school

yes i had the album and no it was not a great song! like every other group /artist back then the were trying to be like Prince and failed!

This is probably the lousiest song I've ever heard on your channel and I was laughing 10 times more than you were. I remember Oh Shiela and that song was perfectly alright but, good lord, this one was just Ugh! This one was so awful it would fit right in with the crap they play in the 2000's!

It not a good song for my taste

It sounded cheesy to me. Like a poor copy of better songs

You're a grown woman and you can't say the word "wet"? This is an awesome song and far better than the songs of the so called artist of your generation. Sorry you don't like great music.
