Today is National 'One-Hit Wonder Day', so it's fitting to honor 'Ready For The World'!

Idiomsthefreedictionary.com describes the 'One-Hit Wonder' as...

"someone who performs popular music who makes one successful record and then no others"

Which makes me think of the famous Michigan On-Hit Wonder band Ready For The World!

The band is out of Flint Michigan, and started by playing High School Talent Shows and were discovered buy a Detroit Radio Station DJ. After that, their single "Oh Shelia' sped to the top of the charts and broke recording records.

'Oh Sheila' took the #1 spot on the...

• R&B charts
• The Pop charts
• Hot Dance Club Play Charts

Ready For The World was the first band to hold that #1 spot on all three charts at the same time.

The band reunited back in 2004 and are still playing today with the original line-up...

• Melvin Riley (front man)
• Gordon Strozier (lead guitar)
• Gregory Potts (keyboards)
• Willie Triplett (percussion & keyboard)
• John Eaton (bass guitar)
• Gerald Valentine (drums)

So Cheers to the best 'One-Hit Wonder' to come out of Michigan!
