"Get Ready" #29 4/2/1966

Here's another case where one of someone's signature songs didn't do as well as you may have thought. Even though it was a #1 R&B record, the relatively low Hot 100 chart position meant this was the last time Smokey Robinson (who wrote and produced this) worked with the Temptations. Eddie Kendricks handled the lead vocals this time around. It was a Top 5 in 1970 for Rare Earth, the first Caucasian act to have a hit for Motown.
