Mason, a soul / R&B singer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, had released a few singles while she was a teenager in the mid-1960s. "Yes, I'm Ready" became Mason's first big hit on the music charts, peaking at #2 on the Billboard R&B chart, and No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the summer of 1965. While Mason would continue recording into the 1980s, this song has been her highest charting hit. Mason later re-recorded the song for her 1973 album, Give Me Your Love. The key personnel who helped bring this hit recording to life later became the important creators of the "Philly Sound". These people include: Kenny Gamble as a backup singer, Bobby Eli and Norman Harris on guitar, Ronnie Baker on bass and Earl Young on drums (Eli, Harris and Baker later on became principal members of MFSB and Kenny Gamble would co-found Philadelphia International Records with Leon Huff).
Teri DeSario
DeSario, a vocalist from Miami, Florida, was a high school classmate of Harry Wayne Casey, best known as the lead vocalist and songwriter for KC and the Sunshine Band. Casey liked the original recording and wanted to record a cover version of the song, and he was producing DeSario's second studio album, Moonlight Madness, for Casablanca Records. Neil Bogart, president of the record label, had an idea to record the song as a duet, and it was the first single released from the album in late 1979. Their version of the song spent two weeks at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in March 1980, kept from the summit by "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by the rock group Queen. It also spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart[1] and reached No. 20 on the Billboard R&B chart, earning Gold Record certification from the RIAA

One of my favorites. It's so childlike. So innocent.
Beautiful woman Beautiful song
A platinum classic, I was about to turn four that year. My siblings were 13 , 15 and 19
This so reminds me of '65. A sophomore HS. Didn't know what was right around the corner. What the hell happened.

Pretty Lights remixed this song with all this beautiful singing sampled in and played it at their Colorado show Day 2. I just watched the video with a joyful tear in my eye as I remembered loving this song as a kid. So, I had to come hear and see the original. Thank you so much for this video.💙

I love this song but that ❄️ ❄️❄️ musta been good for her to move her mouth like that
I had to look for this comment I was thinking the same damn thing lol
I just said the same. I found an interview where she said she never touched the stuff a day in her life. Well I guess she didn't know wut she got ahold of that nite!?!

I’m confused by this comment. What does her mouth have to do with crack?

I know you were trying to be artsy with the superimposed street scenes, but the song came out in 1965. You've got cars from the 1940s. All in all, that effect ruined the video.
I prefer Jeffrey Osborne’s version.
Man I was a little skipper when that hit the radio waves brings back memories!!!!!!
I was only one years old but it was still a great classic I loved growing up listening to on the radio , Georgie Woods the guy with the goods RIP 🕊️🕊️🕊️ Legend and Harvey Holiday RIP to Butter Ball 🕊️🕊️🕊️ etc
