I am Brazilian and there is a version of a Brazilian band called"Oficina G3" is it worth seeing only a pretty good version and rock'n roll ... hug from Brazil a comment there ...
The connection: Africans of the Diaspora, Curtis Mayfield (Original People Get Ready), Robert Nesta Marley & Curtis Mayfield (One Love / People Gat Ready); African of Our Fathers' Land, Seal, provoking tears by his touching performance.
I may be a sinner but every time i hear songs like this, it makes my heart cry. We don't know how long we will be on this earth, so i say let's just get ready...
@aftertouchbeatz You're correct, he was an actual member at that time. But the group existed before Jerry Butler invited him to join and continued after his departure. Most of what we remember about the Impressions though came during his tenure with the group. That's why we say "featuring Curtis Mayfield". He wrote that song (People Get Ready) and I think his presence is important enough to denote. By the way, I check out your channel. Some of your stuff is Very Good! BRAVO !
This is so simple! its no great solo guitar, just a gently guitar and Seals amazing voice! so simple, but yet so UNBELIEVABLE! I love this song, when im down it brings me back up, and when im on the top of the world, it lifts me up in the sky!! <3
Hey people ....love your comments! ...feel a bit at home with people who feel this song .....there is a fella called jason crabb.... "Through the fire" is the song ...That boy can truly sing ....if you like this - ya gotta hear that , simple.
Sad that such an admired song got such little recognition for the man responsible for it.. It was written and recorded in 1965 by the late Curtis Mayfield, lead singer of the Impressions. You can also see how this song influenced numerous others through the years, like John Mayer's hit "Waitin' on the World to Change' to name one.
I never knew he had a video for this. I get chills everytime I hear this song. I never really cared much for seal as an artist until I had his Soul CD. I'm not a fan of cover albums also, but he sang every single song on that album with all his heart.
Timmy Lee Payne People get ready... indeed my brother, I'm getting onboard and nothing would please me more than to see everyone i know stepping onboard with me, their is a time coming so very soon that we will be called home, no more pain or suffering no more sadness or death... just heavenly bliss and fellowship among our family and friends and to top it all off we will be our Lord Jesus... The time is Now!!! REJOICE !!! Into your hands we comment our spirit.
You people are really something; you music company executives. You worship avarice in the form of advertising. Get a clue! We don't care about your obsession with laundry soap and every other product known to humanity. Let people be in peace; we come here to listen to relaxing music and you immoral people ought not harass us.
AMAZING!!!!! Please everyone looooook at my songs :DD i love to sing this aswell and want people to say if they think it would suit my voice, thankyouuu
Keep it up! I heard this song on Larry King for the first time today. It is very moving song, especially when you performed it for the Haiti Relief efforts.
You have a heart for GOD and a heart for His people. Aleluya!

The real name of this song from the Exodus album is "One Love/People Get Ready".
"One Love" was an older Wailers' song, and Bob combined it with People Get Ready (I don't know who first sang this song).
