Song of the Day: Levert “Baby I’m Ready”
From the 1990 album “Rope a Dope Style”, “Baby I’m Ready” reached #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop charts. This cut has to be one of the best known if not the best known hit from the Levert catalog. The line in this song that has always caused me to pause and still causes me to pause is:
Girl I’m tired of playing games
So many loves I can’t even name
The song makes it clear that our hero has clearly been around the block, circled, and doubled back again. He is now ready to forget those nameless, faceless other women and settle down with the one. He is working hard to prove to his love that she is the only one who matters now. Will he be victorious?
“Baby I’m Ready” is available at Amazon.com as part of the cd “Rope a Dope Style“.

Soul Sister is a truly passionate about her music. The right song can instantly uplift her mood to turn a not so great day into a party. Her passion for music has also caused her to verbally come to the defense of some of her favorite artists. Don't worry- it was a peaceful defense, and the transgressors were uninjured.
The love of music has led to the wonderful opportunity to share her thoughts with the Grown Folks Music family. When not blogging, Soul Sister is either engrossed in a book, discovering new music or revisiting classic music. Even though her vast cd collection spans decades, the music of the 1990's holds a special place in her heart. She resides in the Southern US.
