"Are You Ready?" is a song written by Charlie Allen and John Hill and performed by Pacific Gas & Electric. It reached No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 49 on the R&B chart^[1] in 1970. The band featured it on their 1970 album Are You Ready?^[2]

The song was produced by John Hill^[3] and featured the back-up vocal group The Blackberries.^[4]

The album version was nearly 6 minutes in length and had to be cut down to 3 minutes for the single, resulting in omitting the slower recitative Introduction, the omission of the first verse: "People say he won't come", pertaining to the unmentioned Jesus Christ. This reference was considered too controversial for AM airplay, especially in rural areas, the Deep South, and the Bible Belt sections of the United States. The instrumental and the repeated call and response sections in the coda were shortened: "Yes, I'm Ready", and "Yes, Yes, I'm Ready". The edit version ends with the fading repeat of the chorus section.

The single was ranked No. 93 on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1970.^[5] Music critic Robert Christgau has called it "easily [the band's] best cut ever".^[6]
