Remember Melvin Riley The Lead Singer of Ready For The World 

DAMN HE AGED WELL

Ready For The World was really underrated and slept on.

Man they NEED to be on UNSUNG! I wanna hear their journey!

I don't giva damn what nobody says u can argue me down!..this is the original slow jam maker before there was a R.kelley ! A very underrated singer,songwriter, producer, musician,and composer ! Hey player i still follow u i supported u from 1985 til yhe present keep them sounds coming ...yo boy Ro!

Very underrated why the hell havent bet awards or soul train given them a tribute award

One of the inavators of love making music. Real R&B music back then. Miss their music 4 real!

LEGENDS ! Flat out, homies from the hood use to go to the High School dance and they would tear it up. Thanks to these and many other extremely talented brothers and sisters Flint Michigan will be remembered for more than the horrible lead water crisis ✊✊✊

My Big Brother still look good. Keep it up and Most important GOD first.

Wow he looks great to be in his 50s and still can sang

His whole album GHETTO LOVE was BOMB

I used to have a serious crush. Glad to see he didn't let himself go. 👍👍👍

'Girl tonight' Put them on the map...Mel still got it too..That's alright.

So talented! Glad to see you are well! Love you and your music! Please keep making music,giving joy and happiness! God bless you! This is 1 talented man!

🕺🏿💃🏽🕴🏽...omg memory lane🤗🤗. Those were the jams & he looks good 🍫😁

Melvin Riley is one of my other Favorite

Ready For The World .. Brother hasn't changed at all!!🔥🔥🔥

Should have let him sing a little more of that.

One of my favorites. Overlooked talent for sure.

I remember listening to his music when I was young.

I still bump all Ready for the World and Melvin Riley song to this date🎶🎶🎶🎤🎤🎤🔊🔊🔊🔊

Wow!! Still looks greats and sounds great!

He's still very handsome At,53 years old.☺ And he could sing to me anytime.😘

Ready For the World was the best group of the 80s!!!

Wow....its great to see this video at my age now this....was and is still my favorite group

He still got it ~> Woooo!!!! 😳😲🎹🎶

This was the music I grew up listening too!!! Brings back memories!!!

He had a solo CD but it was never released, Melvin gave me a copy and it was fire!!! Sing Melvin

I was 5 or 6 when I first jamned to Ready for The World. Memories!!! Glad to see and hear that he still has it! 💯👑❤😘

As a teenager, I had the biggest crush on this dude and he still look good. I still have all of there's CDs and still play them. I'm old school they don't make good music like they used to back in the days, so I'm gonna keep his CD's

OMG!!!!! I love this group!!!! I used to have their very first album back in the 80's❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗

Omg loved this group back in the day💕

I was in GERMANY when this came out, brings back memories!!! Miss those days.

Thank You, so nice to see Melvin. Legendary, Ready For the World. I remember I got to see them live, back when they released their 1st album. My Dad was a DJ from back in the day. We loved playing Digital Display, from both the album and the long versions on vinyl. Beautiful memories!

He still looks and sounds great!

That voice can't be touched. One of a kind!

Man listen, that Oh Sheila song, followed me through high school, couldn't turn a corner without hearing "uh uh uh Oh Sheilaaaa" ! 😒

Sounds good!!! Remember that from the 80's. Keep up the good work!!!!

Yaaaaassssss! Melvin looks so good and still got that voice! Y'all already know that black don't crack.💯💯💯 Take care of yourselves now youngins! Some of us "old heads" are giving you guys a run😂😂😂

Awesome to see him!!!! Still killing it. His dad was my gym teacher

My lady at the time and grooved to RTW all the time, brotha looks great and still has that voice!

Just met him in person after the concert in Sept. Very down to earth and a good sport...even sang to me😍😍😍. That man is too hot!!

I've always found him attractive.

He’s still fine

Yaaaaaassss! I love me some Melvin Riley!

Smooth ass brother I grew up on ready for the 🌎

Sheila and Let me love you down are my favorite songs from them. Since I'm young I used to think Sheila was sung by Prince and he was signing about Sheila E. LoL 😂 young me. I wonder what happened to them. It'd be nice to see them on an episode of unsung. Another underrated r&b classic group.

He still handsome and got that beautiful voice dont look a day over 35

The song at the end really made me smile! Thank you!

My DOG Melvin Riley!!!!Always been a Mega Fan of his and also just the whole entire group was HEAT!!!!No one in my humble opinion came remotely close to RFTW🔥🔥🔥and Melvin is still to this very day.... Arguably the greatest R&B Singer of all time Yeah I Said It!!!!Damn I miss "Ready For The World" This was my High School years.Yo ..I'm Beast Mode Reminiscing now!!!!!!!!The greatest moments of my life was shared with the greatest friends of my life listening to Ready For The World!!!

I was way too young to have had the obsession with rftw that I did 🎶👏🏾

Excuse me if I start to play with your Digital Display!!

Saw them in concert....👍

He had one song in cica 2000 called You Complete Me. Great song

So happy he's doing well and looking great and out of the negative headlines. What a great group and from homes state Michigan ❤️ that goes for the rest of the group as well

They look great and still sounds great!

Always was my favorite out the group still listening to their songs It’s getting late ...... why are you still here girl 🎹🎹🎹🎼🎼🎼🎧🎧🎧

Loved the group love the songs.

The Father of the modern slow jam!

I want to hear about the group Ready for the World 's journey too and I hope that the lead singer is still very strong and not suffering from too many downfalls in life that we have issues with.

DAM HE SOUNDED GOOD SHIT WE USED TO ROCK THIS BACK IN THE DAY

Melvin, yesssss!

❤❤RTFW..I love your group. My teenage memories seems to be full of your songs 💕 💕 💔💋

I need to link with this brotha! He produced a song for my group Cold Premiere called spoil you. Our album didnt get released but i heard it on his solo joint. Good brotha. My wife an i along with the group enjoyed his hospitality! I would really like to do some songs with him where i am vocally now! Could be fya 🔥

Still got it!🔥🔥🔥

Damn he make 53 look good, he look 19 and still has that angel voice

This is what you call aged to Perfection at its best. This man still has the look and the voice... Blessed. 💙 Please put out some music even if it’s on YoutTube, Spotify, Pandora etc. I just want to here some good music for a change. 😍

Oh yeah, My Girly! So underrated it's ridiculous.

I play RFTW music like it just came out! I love me some Melvin! His single. RAIN IS EVERYTHING! 🔥🔥🔥

When music was MUSIC! And the brotha STILL looks good.

I still listen to them,I was a kid when I first heard this amazing group🥳🥳 Ready For The World‼️

He still looks great even in his 50's. Damn, his voice hasn't waivered. Ready For The World should have an UNSUNG because they were so underrated.

God! In love with this man.❤️

Had the biggest crush on him. Had all of his hits during high school. RFTW. 💞💞

He basically looks the same Black don't crack

The World wasn't Ready for them????🌎🌍🌏

Ready for the world should go back into the studio and do another album. Their fans would love that

Aged Flawlessly!
