‘Get Ready’ to get down with Funk in May

Smokey Robinson and the Temptations’ version of “Get Ready,” was written as an answer to the latest dance craze, “The Duck” in 1966. The Temptations’ falsetto Eddie Kendricks sung lead on the song, which Robinson produced as an up-tempo dance number with a prominent rhythm provided by Motown drummer Benny Benjamin. The song made it to No. 1 on the U.S. R&B singles chart,

 So “Get Ready” and stay ready for a season of dancing amongst friends during the warm spring evenings.
