Yes, Im Ready is the title of a popular song that was written and originally recorded by Barbara Mason in 1965. It has been covered by numerous artists. Mason, a soul / R&B singer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, had released a few singles while she was a teenager in the mid-1960s. Yes, Im Ready became Masons first big hit on the music charts, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard R&B chart and No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the summer of 1965. While Mason would continue recording into the 1980s, this song has been her highest charting hit. Mason later re-recorded the song for her 1973 album, Give Me Your Love. the Key personnel who helped bring this hit recording to life later became the important creators of the Philly Sound. those people include Kenny Gamble as a backup singer, Bobby Eli and Norman Harris on guitar, Ronnie Baker on bass and Earl Young on drums (Eli, Harris and Baker later on became principal members of MFSB and Kenny Gamble would co-found Philadelphia International Records with Leon Huff).
