ReadyForTheWorldLongTimeComing
 
That’s right….who said we were moving too SLOW with our tally of slow jams?
 
Henceforth the point: The power & the mystique of the R&B Slow Jam. It should be ‘well done’ and ‘on standby’, ‘by all means’.
 
And why not throw in Ready For The World & Melvin Riley. Melvin & his crew crooned the midnight & the galactic stars out of “Love You Down” for all you listeners back in the 80’s (1986 to be exact) – which of course, helped one of the last African American R&B groups leap to major stardom.
