Coming out of Flint, Michigan, in the early 1980s, Ready For The World were a six-man crew who fused a variety of musical styles: funk, rock, R&B and New Wave. Sounding similar to acts like Prince and Cameo, they had several huge crossover hits, including "Oh Sheila" and "Love You Down." Their popularity waned as the eighties progressed, but they kept at it, releasing several more albums throughout the '90s.
