People Get Ready was a 1965 gospel-influenced composition by Curtis Mayfield, and displayed the growing sense of social and political awareness in his writing. Part of the March on Washington, Mayfield wrote it the year after the march. For many, it captured the spirit of the march -- the song reaches across racial and religious lines to offer a message of redemption and forgiveness. Rolling Stone magazine named People Get Ready the 24th greatest song of all time. The song was included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fames 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. People Get Ready has also been chosen as one of the Top 10 Best Songs Of All Time by a panel of 20 top industry songwriters and producers, including Paul McCartney, Brian Wilson, Hal David, and others as reported to Britains Mojo music magazine.
