Wow I was 13yrs old listening to Ready 4 Tha World. Talking on the phone asking her the question: "are you sleep?" While we just hold the phone. Lol Welp that brought back some wonderful memories 💯 Thank you brothers for timeless music 🎶 🔥 🔥 🔥
These brother still can rock it….. I saw them in Wurzburg, Germany back in the late 1980’s when they were at their peak…… That’s when all the hot bands or groups came to support us the troops…. Army life was great back then
Omg! I haven't seen them in years! ❤❤ Who else had their posters everywhere?? They are still in rotation on my play list!! ❤❤❤ Oh, the memories...*sighs*
Wow what a surprise to find this from 2022!! RFTW my all time favorite 80s R&B band....wish they would reissue & remaster their old albums...Thank you for posting this!! What a treat to see them perform again!! Please RFTW keep it going, you still have loyal fans in 2023!!!! Thank you!! What a band!!
I bought everything they ever put out , They are forever my boys!!! RFTW for Life in my lifetime there has never been an album to touch the very 1st one and it only got better from there Spent all my teenage days wearing those albums out.. All my high school years wrapped up in that album big Part of My life. Thank you for sharing

its good too one of my favorites group brings back some good memories when you put on ready for the world and with you lady and hugging and kissing your girl and listen to this music special love you down one great songs and mevlvin still got that great voice.
WOW!! Melvin and RFTW still got the goods! So happy they’re still in existence and still tighter than ever! Great band that I feel didn’t get the exposure that they truly deserved!
Omg had I known they were in Atlanta I would have broken protocol to see them.I have so much of there music,even had Melvin what makes a man want to cheat on his woman Riley and someone stole it
Melvin still got it! I was wondering where they were with all these old school groups getting paid on tours and casinos and stuff. The band is super tight as well. He influenced a lot of singers. I hear a little Slave and Steve Arrington influence in Melvin as well. My wife and I would love for them to come in concert in Oklahoma.
Melvin u still got for ur age. Everytime i heard u voice. I just fall in love u all over again. Ur voice just do something me. I love u forever💙💙💙💙💙💋💋👍
That more bounce to the ounce intro was the bomb ...i seen ready for the world in concert years ago im glad they are still together still jamming . Idk if these are all the original members but they these guys are still bad tell it Melvin Riley
This is Melvin Riley's group. This isn't the original limeup. I know Melvin and the other original members had differences with each other a few years back. The other original members Gerald Valentine, Willie Triplett, etc were performing with a new lead singer a few years ago as Ready For The World..During this set with Melvin he asks Lamont can they get funky. No original member name is Lamont.
The bass player is John Eaton he's an original member of RTFW. The other original members have a different RTFW band. The other founding member of RTFW Gordon Stroizer no longer performs due to health reasons.
@@larryh.soulman1114 - Thanks for the info! BTW- Just some interesting facts. Flint is my hometown. I live here now. I and John Eaton got in a fight in junior high. I got kicked out and he didn’t. He was the one that started the fight. Plus, Gerald Valentine was in my English class. My sister knows all of them. She has gotten high with some of them. Crazy, ain’t it? Thanks for your comment. Peace
@@larryh.soulman1114 I remember seeing them perform on RU-vid with a new lead singer a few years back. Willie Triplett and the band was tight but the lead singer couldn't hold a candle to Melvin..
@@BadTV1993 - I don’t know anything about where and what drugs. I didn’t run in the streets. I have NO knowledge about with who and so on. I just know that my sister mentioned that fact to me some years ago. She knows a lot of people (bless her heart). If you were looking for some really salacious details, I am sorry that I don’t have any. Peace to you, just the same!
Melvin IS Ready For the World. MCA would have gladly signed him as a SOLO ARTIST, but Melvin, despite being a writer and multi-instrumentalist, was loyal to his band.
