Ready An' Willing

Ready an’ Willing was Whitesnake’s 1980 album and it was the band’s first to chart outside of the U.K. reaching #32 in Norway and #90 in the U.S. It featured two of the band’s UK single-hits from that year: “Fool for Your Loving”, which reached No. 13 in the charts in April 1980 and the title-track, “Ready an’ Willing (Sweet Satisfaction)”, which made No. 43 in July of the same year. In August 1980 “Fool For Your Loving” peaked at No. 53 on the Billboard Hot 100.
