As a Songwriter and Producer, Victor is ready for his fans and followers to enjoy, and be enlightened, by his new song, “Be Ready”. Written by Victor Orlando f/Tony Grant, lead vocalist of The Temptations, Mixed, Recorded & Mastered by Craig T. Cooper and Chad Wright.
Victor Orlando was inspired to write this song, after his diagnosis of Cancer, and being Cancer Free after recovery. Realizing going into Surgery, it was a 50/50 chance coming out. However, after being vertical and beating the “Big C”, it was a chance to give back to other musicians, family, and friends, who might be going thru anything. Also, the series of horrific incidents of people across the country, leaving their homes, and never returning the same day, was enough to pen the song, Be Ready. Be Ready is an up-tempo, vibrant, and uplifting Gospel-flavored song, telling the message to be ready when the Lord calls your name.
Tony Grant, lead vocalist from the mega-group, The Temptations, and an actor from Tyler Perry, movies, plays, and television Show ”Love Thy Neighbor.” Victor and Tony go back as far as touring in the 90’s hit Gospel play, “A Good Man Is Hard To Find.” Tony is also on 2 other songs on the forthcoming, sophomore CD, From the Group, Victor Orlando & Fun-Ja-La- Returns.
