  • Please tell me you can get this song on iTunes :-)

  • this also sounds like cameo - style

  • cheesy smile :) thank you

  • my favorite part is still at :22 seconds

  • Movement Lifestyle brought me here :)

  • Thanks MovementLifestyle!

  • Best of old school R&B!!!!!!!!

  • Sounds so much Like Prince's 'Lady Cab Driver' track.

  • I thought Prince sung this! for Sheila E!

  • @lunovintoys Prince covered it for her after they sang it :)

  • THAT HAIR

    only in the 80s 

  • @thehulk3010 Let your, SOOOOOOUUUUUL GLOOOOOOOOW.

  • I like saying "oh sheila" whenever someone says anything with "oh" in a sentence XD

  • Freshmen year BABY.

  • Coulda been produced by Prince or The Time...all a tight crew back in the 80's...but that was the sound, it was defined by the cadence of the beat and the electronic drum kits etc. This song is the shi*!!!!

  • @dmoney668 Many people mistook Prince for being responsible for the song, when in fact it was a Ready For The World original, and this mistake was made because of the song's influence of the Minneapolis sound. The drumkit is a "powerdrum" typical for the early electronic big studio commercial sounds of the 80's.

  • I love this song!!!! Old School and the youth still loves it... My mother was shocked lol

  • this right here IS REAL MUSIC

  • Prince ripoff sound

  • @Sonyag1 no it is prince

  • @openthetirdeye

    Ummmm....No it's not....

  • @openthetirdeye Not to pick a fight or attack you but, It's definitely NOT Prince. I can however see where Prince would be your 1st guess. It's got something to do with the beat and the bassline. It sounds sorta kinda prince-ish. But to answer your question it is in fact Ready For The World and not The artist formerly known as prince.

  • true r&b

    at its finest

  • true r&b

  • When I first heard this I thought "Michael Jackson did music inbetween Off the Wall and Thriller?"... I was pretty dumb to not know who "Ready for the World" was...
