You were all over it my man- it was a Smokey Robinson penned song, even though he and his group The Miracles did not record it nor did Smokey as a solo artist. Motown was a music factory. Their staff of writers was off the charts- Dozier, Whitfield and of course Smokey Robinson. The Temptations released this in 1966, and it was a big hit, while this band Rare Earth, also a Motown artist of course, released it in 1970, it to was a big hit. Pete Rivera the drummer, as you pointed out, has an incredible voice- very powerful, and soulful. To sing like that, and drum as he does, is unbelievable. In 1974, in Southern California, the Ontario Motor Speedway hosted an all day/evening concert called Cal Jam I. (there was a second one in 1978). 250k attendees, including me and my buddies, who drove in from Las Vegas. We had to park a mile away- while walking towards the venue, maybe a half mile away, the first act comes on at 9a- Rare Earth, playing this classic. Thanks for the commentary, you're certainly one of the more knowledgeable reactors, keep up the great posts.

These guys were one of the 1st white acts signed to Motown. You can hear the influences in their style. In answer to your question...over the course of 8 years 1970-78, they had 6 top 40 hits with 3 that went top 10. Get Ready was their 1st & biggest hit single, it hit #4.

Playing drums and singing is almost impossible. This guy is great. The other drummer s I know that sing were Levon Helm of "The Band," and Don Henley of "The Eagles." As a former drummer myself, in my younger days, it's just a very hard thing. Even guitar playing and singing isn't easy.

The one white Motown group. Get Ready was originally written for the Motown group The Temptations, but they never released it as a single.

Also, the first white group to do a release with Motown was Nick & The Jaguars in 1959. They were a surf band that did a one-off deal with Motown to release a record they already had recorded. But the record didn't chart so they ended up not signing with the label. Rare Earth had their own label called Rare Earth Records which was a subsidiary of Motown. (Motown had several subsidiary labels). Debbie Dean was the first white solo artist to sign with Motown's subsidiary label, Gordy Records. In 1961 she released "Don't Let Him Shop Around" in. But the earliest white solo artist that I know of to sign with the actual Motown Label was Connie Haines in 1965. She recorded 14 songs written by Smokey Robinson. She did the first recording of "For Once In My Life" with Motown Records in 1965. (Later covered by Steve Wonder). But Connie's recording was never released until 2015.
