An Australian singer and actor, Carol Hitchcock’s 1987 single “Get Ready” was a dance-pop cover of the Smokey Robinson-penned song that was a U.S. top 40 hit for both The Temptations and Rare Earth. It was produced by the popular dance-pop production team of Stock Aitken & Waterman. The single’s b-side was the ballad “More Than Words Can say,” which was also recorded by SAW-produced artists Mel and Kim and Hazell Dean. The single reached the top 40 in Australia but failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. |
