Rare Earth was somewhat of an experimental group for Motown. They were an all white rock 'n' roll and soul band from Detroit. Members consisted of Gil Bridges (sax and flute player), Kenny James (keyboard), John Persh (bass, trombone), Rod Richards (guitar), and Pete Hoorelbeke (drums and vocals). The Temps first sang this hit in 1966, but Rare Earth released their well-known version in 1970. Get Ready reached #4 on the pop charts and #20 on the R&B charts.
