"Yes, I'm Ready" #5 7/31/1965

Here's an early example of Philadelphia soul, which would be a very successful genre of pop music throughout the 60's and 70's. It was Barbara Mason's biggest Top 40 hit; she would continue charting on the R&B side for a number of years. Kenny Gamble, one of the developers of the Philly Sound and who was married to DeeDee Sharp ("The Mashed Potato") for a time, sang backup on this.
