Review by John Vargas

Ready for the World's album Love You Down is a classic R&B masterpiece that is sure to get listeners grooving. Released in 1986, this album features some of the group's biggest hits, including the title track "Love You Down," "Can He Do It (Like This, Can He Do It Like That)," and "Gently."

The album showcases the group's smooth vocals and funky beats, as they effortlessly blend elements of funk, soul, and pop into their music. The lyrics are full of romance and sensuality, making this album the perfect soundtrack for a romantic evening.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Gently," a slow jam that features lead singer Melvin Riley's silky-smooth vocals. The song is a testament to the group's ability to create a sensual and intimate atmosphere with their music.

I remember before Ready for the World became popular Melvin Riley was my teacher at day camp. He would play his music for us. All us girls was crazy about him. He was like a dk, skinned Michael Jackson. Miss those days, Melvin Riley and Jimmy Vance.
