I'm Ready: Expanded Edition

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), Natalie's move to Epic came among personal challenges (outlined in her 2000 memoirs). Nonetheless, I'm 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 Natalie's band, Chuck Bynum. Natalie (who sadly passed away on December 31, 2015) wrote two songs: 'I'm 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.
