You Better Get Ready (Savoy Gospel 1978-1986) is the third volume in Honest Jon’s acclaimed survey of the legendary Savoy label’s gospel output, capturing a defining era when gospel music intersected powerfully with funk, soul, disco, and boogie. Spanning the years before Savoy's acquisition by Malaco, this compilation unearths seventeen electrifying tracks loaded with roaring choirs, vibrant horns, and irresistibly grooving basslines—each a testament to the label's far-reaching influence and the unyielding spirit of gospel music during the late '70s and early '80s.
Featuring rare and sought-after recordings from acts like Edith Moreno, World Wonders, Genobia Jeter, Solomon Burke, and many more, You Better Get Ready bursts with celebratory energy and affirmativeness. Whether you’re a devoted gospel enthusiast, soul and funk aficionado, or simply exploring the roots of modern Black music, this expertly curated collection brings underappreciated gems to light, providing rich historical context and uplifting sound alike.
