Happy Labor Day Weekend! This Sunday afternoon at 4 on Retro Pop Reunion Joe Cortese is featuring One Hit Wonders on a One and Done Weekend. One of the songs from the show is today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Ready For the World with “Oh Sheila”.

I won’t tell Joe, but Ready For The World out of Flint, Michigan actually had 2 top 40 hits, the other being “Love You Down”. But it was “Oh Sheila” that was their big hit reaching #1 in 1985. Many people think of Prince when they hear the song because of the heavy drum machine beats, but actually many think the song is about Sheila E!

A fun 80’s tune to send you into a long holiday weekend, it’s Ready For the World with “Oh Sheila” today’s Forgotten 45!
