Natalie Cole - Im Ready '1983/2016

Tracks list

 Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1983 album recorded by the
late and legendary Natalie Cole for Epic Records. The original eight-track album
is supplemented by four cuts produced by famed musician Stanley Clarke which
remained in the vaults until they were included in a 90s U. S. reissue of the
original LP. Following her hit-filled tenure with Capitol Records (1975-1982),
Natalies move to Epic came among personal challenges (outlined in her 2000
memoirs). Nonetheless, Im Ready saw her reunited with the team of Chuck Jackson
and Marvin Yancy who had helmed her 70s string of award-winning best-selling
singles and album for five tracks including Too Much Mister, a Top US R&B hit.
Multi-talented music man Stanley Clarke produced three tracks, co-producing one
with a member of Natalies band, Chuck Bynum. Natalie (who sadly passed away on
December 31, 2015) wrote two songs: Im Your Mirror and the bonus cut How Can You
Stop: as well as co-writing two more with her brother Eddie Cole, and Winner
(Takes All) and Movin On, which were also part of the Stanley Clarke sessions.
