Smokey Robinson wrote this song for the Temptations and Rare Earth started covering it in live concerts and it was such a hit they added it to their playlist
Wow! I always thought Peter Rivera of Rare Earth had one of the best voices in Rock/Motown going back to when I first heard his band perform this song back in 1969, but he still sounds incredible today 55 years later. This generation of music artists will NEVER be matched!
That guy is 75, and hardly diminished from when he was 25. I saw Rare Earth back then and one thing stuck - they were so loud my ears rang for a week. Nice drum kit.
Of the 1970 lineup I believe Pete is one of just two survivors left. Just hearing him talk now the old voice is still there 52 years later unchanged. A legend!!
Rare Earth ist eine meiner Lieblingsbands der 70er. und Get Ready ist der Song unserer Jugend schlecht hin.Toll das Peter es immer weiter in die Welt trägt
What's a Huckabee? My GOD Mr. Rivera is solid. Saw him at a free concert in Charlevoix Michigan about 6 years ago and I could not believe my ears. Now, I'm an old metal head but I never miss the chance to see Mitch Ryder perform and that is why I was at this show. When I heard that some guy named Peter Rivera was on the bill I had NO IDEA that I was going to hear the legendary voice of Rare Earth hammering out these classic rock and roll songs. This guy is incredible! Thank you for posting this and a HUGE thank you to Mr. Rivera!
Peter sounds great! I have a promotional copy LP from a Detroit concert my friend went to a long time ago! Get Ready and Crank this one up! Mike Huckabee and band an backup singers were awesome! We are back in the 70's.
WOW, the guy still sounds the SAME! I was There back then. Remarkable! I saw RARE EARTH way back in the Late 60's in Seattle; Didn't even Know who they WERE, yet...But I sure Liked em'!
What a powerhouse and pleasing vocalist. Drums are top shelf too. Sounds so good even after all these years. Wow, just blown away. Never better music than late 60’s early 70’s.
IM 59 YEARS OLD LOLO THIS GROUP IS JAMMING 🎉!! BACK IN THE DAYS IT SEEM LIKE FUN!! THIS DRUMMER LEAD SINGER SOUND THE SAME A BEFORE 👍😄 WOW HE'S FLYING ON THE DRUMS YOU ALRIGHT SIR!!!
Back in the 70s, when I heard Get Ready for the first time, I was fortunate enough that this happened in the best and most modern disco in my country. Huge sound! And Pete is so full of energy! Fantastic!

Peter is a freak of nature...Nobody sings like this at his age
He's absolutely fantastic,the only other singer of this calibre and age in my opinion is Paul Rodgers of Bad Company.
Sammy Hagar would disagree 😁
Still great, this was when rock was rock................. still got the voice
Wow! They sound great and voice is still great! Must admit i didn;t expect that!

Smokey is a musical genius
Holy…..!!!! His voice is still awesome!!!

uuuuuuauuuuuu!!!!! the man likes a wine!!!
Love dancing to this...still today.
Peter still has the voice! Amazing!!
And what a voice, hasn't changed at all. Amazing.
Tiene el estilo es un genio es el maldito amo el bato
He's still got it.
Rare Earth and Peter were vastly underrated for their superb singing and playing. Great band and great talent from when music was real.
Wow! He still sounds great. Not to mention singing and playing drums at his age is incredible
Absolutely right 👍
Love Rare Earth!
Peter Rivera (real name is Peter Hoorelbeke) is my friend and his passion and talent for music is still amazing!
I Just Want to Celebrate another Day of Living.
I'm still smiling....thanks forr the memories....
That guy is 75, and hardly diminished from when he was 25. I saw Rare Earth back then and one thing stuck - they were so loud my ears rang for a week. Nice drum kit.
Peter Rivera(Peter Hoorelbeke) is 78, he was born June, 1944. Sounds incredible.
Very, very few singers can sing like their younger days when they're older. Wow! Peter is one of those 'Rare' few!
The greatest generation.
AGE has no room on this man hes GREAT
The best singing drummer in rock.
Don Henley is another great singing drummer.
Both of them played at the California Jam in 1974.
@@puzzler-
Yes, but Henley never played a lenghty drum solo like Pete on "Get Ready"
I now she is not really "Rock" but Karen Carpentar played drums and sang and you can not deny her voice.
Brilliant at that age. Get Ready is an immortal classic.
Awesome! The man can still bring it
WOOOOW . AMAZING PETER STILL HAS THAT AWESOME VOICE...
This can’t be real….reincarnation..while Pete is still alive..what a treat for this older rockin mama..🇨🇦
Incredible, he hasn't lost any of his beautiful voice!
Of the 1970 lineup I believe Pete is one of just two survivors left. Just hearing him talk now the old voice is still there 52 years later unchanged. A legend!!
Kenny james, rod richards is still alive as well as mike usro and ray monette

Wonderful rendition
Best song ever. All the best from Oz. First heard it as a young lad. He has a heart full of soul.
His voice unchanged...amazing
Eso demuestra que una buena tecnica vocal conserva la voz para siempre
Really awesome. I listened to this guy and rocked along when I was in college way back in 1976.
What a powerhouse and pleasing vocalist. Drums are top shelf too. Sounds so good even after all these years. Wow, just blown away. Never better music than late 60’s early 70’s.
Excellent
