The Vandellas' version was issued as the first official release off the group's 1966 album, Watchout!, though the album's actual first single, the emotive ballad "What Am I Going to Do Without Your Love" bombed on the chart. This song renewed the Vandellas' popularity among mainstream audiences with its top ten showing.
Cash Box said that it is a "hard driving rocker has the girls spilling out a potent, effective romance lyric in a mood that should have every dancer who spins the disk on the floor."[2]
Chart performanceedit
Scoring their biggest hit since "Nowhere to Run", rose to #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #2 on Billboard's Hot R&B singles chart.[3] "I'm Ready For Love" was also a chart hit for the group in the UK where the song peaked at number twenty-two on the chart.[4]
