I always wondered who's the original author of "Get Ready"
Tried to find it in wikipedia but it's not mentioned.
I thought maybe you guys know?

I'm almost 100% positive Eva Cassidy is the original artist.
It's been covered several diff artists too though. So maybe I'm confused and one of them is the original lol
EDIT: Yeah I was wayyy off LOL
Eva Cassidy's version came out in 98
The original artist is THE IMPRESSIONS...it was made in like 65

No problem. I found a list of people who have covered it, there is like over 20 groups.
Bob Marley has covered it as well, so has Seal.

I thought Bob Marley was the original artist but didn't find the answer anywhere. I guess I was mislead by the fact that Jared likes Marley so much. And I've never heard about the Impressions before. I wish Hed included this kind of info in their album booklets.
