"If You're Ready (Come Go with Me)" came off the Staple Singers' Be What You Are, released on Stax in 1973, and it's the sound of a group following up a monster without repeating it. Set it next to "I'll Take You There", their number-one hit of 1972, and the new one runs at a more constant uptempo clip, its arrangement, cadence and melody all pressing forward.
It worked. The single held number one on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart for three weeks, climbed to 9 on the Hot 100 and went gold.
