anyone know this?

stagolee

theres an old bluesy sounding song which is being used on a bupa ad at the mo.
it features a really bassy sounding lead vocalist and some high pitched backing singers singing "i want to be ready" in harmony
anyone know the name of the artist/group?

stagolee

Haven't seen the ad. How about this one? Might be a biteen gospelly though.

I've got another tune in my head and it might well be the one you've heard but I can't remember any of the lyrics except the trigger ones you've provided (so, well, that's bugger all good to you really).

that song off the bupa ad has had me intrigued for ages

stagolee

im reckon its a gospel number alright, i think these are possibly the lyrics http://www.negrospirituals.com/news-song/i_want_to_be_ready.htm
but i dont know how to find out who is the actual artist/group on the bupa ad,
ill have to buy that praticular recording and listen to it a few times to get the song out of my head. im thinking i might phone bupa on my day off then find out who does their advertising . a bit extreme i know but otherwise ill be singing the same line of this song in my head till im dead
