I was 15 when Minnie left this world. 😢I remember it like it was yesterday, I was exposed to her music at around age 10 and she is one of my favorite singers of all time. He music send chills down your spine. If you’ve seen the Jordan Perl movie “Us” , that’s Minnie’s hit “Les Fleurs “ playing during the closing credits. I also love her songs “Seeing You This Way” and “Memory Lane” just to name a couple. Way too many great ones to list.

At the end of the LP version, you can hear Minnie singing “Maya, Maya.”"

Beautifully sincere reaction. As others have written here, the Fender Rhodes electric piano was played by Stevie Wonder, who arranged the Perfect Angel album that this song came from. I still have the album that I bought when it came out in 1974, with its amazing credits, which listed "Fender Rhodes Piano: El Toro Negro" (Stevie Wonder's alter ego as "the black bull", which he had to use for contractual reasons) followed by "Mockingbird: God," which is how he credited the source of the background call.

Minnie Julia Riperton Rudolph was born in Chicago on November 8, 1947. Soul, R&B and Rock singer, she became very famous for the 1975 single "Lovin' You". was an important name in the civil rights movement and one of the voices in breast cancer awareness. In January 1976, Riperton was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a radical mastectomy. By the time of diagnosis, the cancer had spread and she was given about 6 months to live. Despite the bleak prognosis, she continued recording and touring. Riperton was one of the first celebrities to go public with her breast cancer diagnosis, but did not reveal that she was terminally ill. She passed away a few years later, but left her mark on music history. Her hot voice will be eternal ....

@toodlescae Жыл бұрын

I used to be able to hit that high note when I was younger. Not anymore unfortunately due to age and too many years of smoking. I loved Minnie because she was one of the few in my 1st soprano vocal range. My ability to hit those high notes are one of the reasons my choir teacher wanted me to study opera. Unfortunately there was no way my family could afford that kind of training even in the early 80's.

Miss Minnie Riperton was Beyond Wonderful, Her Octave Range was easily @ 5-7! She was also in a group called Rotary Connection. Two of my favorite songs from her are "Expecting" & "Les Fleurs". They also take me to another place in time. She passed away much too soon. RIPP 👑

@Eric4471066 Жыл бұрын

This song was written and produced by the great Stevie Wonder. The song went all the way to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the early spring of 1975. Minnie's vocal range is between the 5-7 octave scale. By the way, Minnie's daughter is the great comic actress, Maya Rudolph. This song is a definitely a beautiful song indeed!!!

Every girl wished they could hit those ear-slitting notes from this absolutely beautiful song. I was just young enough to have never been fully aware of what cancer was until I heard that she was dead, and only in her early 30’s. It made me scared that my Mom would die soon because she was already 45. But, besides this ever popular song, Minnie Riperton gave us Mya Rudolph. Such an amazingly talented family.

Maybe next we could get you to react to a song that says it all. SHOW AND TELL by Al Wilson. I memorized this song in junior high school to sing to a girl to get her to go to a dance. She said, Yes. And at the dance, when they played the song I held her closer and whispered it in her ear. She was my girlfriend for the rest of the year until she moved away. I never saw her again. But the memory remains. Another suggestion, DISCO ROUND by Alicia Bridges. Enjoy
