    This song "Yes I'M Ready" by Barbara Mason came out on January 1st. 1965. It charted in as #5 on Billboard, #2 on R&B, #3 on Cash Box, and #4 on Record World. It was a very successful chart topper and helped put her on the world stage. Awesome.

      And don't forget Barbara Acklin, who had some hits including Love Makes a Woman in 1968, and she was a songwriter too, best known for co-writing Have You Seen Her by the Chi-Lites.

    YEZZZ YEZZZ Finally Finally a reaction Barbara was only 15 when she wrote and recorded this song she also wrote tons of other song A gutzy record for it time. So ahead of it time countless people have recorded this song. She is Another one of those soul artists that is considered a one hit wonder
    that is far far from the truth. She was one of the top soul female artists of the 60s/70s wrote Poor girl in trouble (another one of those controversial records) Oh how it hurts Sad sad girl Hello baby to name just a few. Miss Mason has never gotten the same accolades as many female artists of the 60/70s have. Believe me she is at the top of that list ✌️&♥️

    Barbara Mason is an American soul singer songwriter with several R&B & pop hits in the 60's-70's. "Yes, I'm Ready" is her biggest hit. Some other songs were "Sad, Sad Girl", "Oh How It Hurts", "Give Me Your Love", "From His Woman To You" etc.

    Such a great song... She could have be shy or just guarded and she finally found someone she wanted to be complete open and transparent with... But she doesn't know how to move forward, but she is willing to learn.... Beautiful!

    I was only 12 when this was playing on the radio and even then I knew how special and unique her voice was. She was only 15 or 16 when she wrote and recorded this and she was singing about a teenagers first love and first kiss 💋, not about someone unable to love.

  • @ebonylocks9234
    @ebonylocks9234 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I just found this record recently and I love it! Did some research and it's the FIRST song she ever wrote and recorded, released Jan 1, 1965 when she was 18...and she's still with us too. I wonder how it squeaked by industry and record label censors, especially with the line "I'm ready to learn how to do all the things you want me to do". Every man loves to hear that...

    Such a beautiful song, it reminds me of my husband and I, he was the first boy to ever kiss me. We met when were only 10, his family lived next to my aunt and uncle. When we were 12, back in 1970, he proposed and I said yes lol, we got married in 1977, I'm still very much in love with him, he's my everything.

    There is a video on TH-cam from a few years ago where Barbara is singing this song live. It isn't often that a singer can actually outdo her original release of a song, but she absolutely does it in this video. She just exudes sexiness and charm. Do yourselves a favor and check it out and see if you agree. Also, she looks absolutely gorgeous!

    Barbara Mason had an amazing voice. In the 70' singer Shirley Brown made a sing called Woman to Woman. It starts out Barbara this is Shirley...Barbara made holla back song called From His Woman to You. Also on the same wave we had Betty Wright with The Clean Up Woman. Barbara also did a remake of I'm Ready.

    Barbara Mason's accent when she sings it's very relatable to Estelle refer to as Chicano style oldies, just by the way she accents her voice has really captivated that she kind of culture for many decades like no other, even though herself she's not Hispanic. it's just that certain style she has that really Drew such.

    Side note: fathers, you are doing your children a disservice when you choose not to be part of their lives.
