Minnie always wore "Baby's Breathe" in her hair. I remember where I was when I got the phone call she passed. The world felt this loss. I remember thinking, God called His angel home. She truly touched the hearts of us all!🥲🤎🙏🕊

Back down memory lane by Minnie is beautiful as well.

I always say that Minnie was a wonder and a gift. The day she left us I couldn't stop crying. She had just put out a new album and I had just bought it. I was experiencing my first love at the time, and he rode his bike to come to me. I laid my head in his lap and cried like I knew her. Check out her songs Lover and Friend and Here We Go Off to Wonderland (with Peabo Bryson)

How can you NOT be on a cloud while listening to Minnie?!? You're being serenaded by an 😇!

She holds that B-flat for 40 beats (10 measures)!

She wasn’t whistling………….that’s her high pitch that no other R&B female artist could match till this day!!!!!!!!!! #Myerabetterthanyours

The original og of the whistle registry. It don't get no better than Ms queen Minnie!!

RIP Minnie Riperton it's so sad that she died so young 😢

I grew up to my dad playing Minnie all the time. This is one of my favorites. The other is Can You Feel What I’m Saying. To be truthful all of her songs are amazing.

You said it right…NO ONE has the “control”…or can whistle and hold a note like Minnie. Not Mariah, not Ariana….Before Mariah…there was Minnie💜🙏🏽🕊️

Yes, that note goes on and on, just barely hearing it at the end. She was a gift.

The Live version is Even more amazing , she holds that Note Live as well. I Highly recommend Listening to another fave , REASONS.

I'm crying for her memory. She was it.

The entire, "Adventures In Paradise" cd is a masterpiece!

My favorite Minnie Riperton song.Such a beautiful song

Minnie collaborated with Quincy Jones, Leon Ware, Al Jareau on "If I Ever Lose This Heaven". Check it out on Quincy Jones album Body Heat.

Her early album...COME TO MY GARDEN showcases her near operatic vocals.

Minnie is a true Goddess sent here to bless us for eternity the 2nd high note and the control will dam near make the toughest person in the world cry #RealMusic🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I believe this was her best song!

Now she can sing!!!!

Such an Angelic voice

The LEGENDARY Iconic Ms Minnie Riperton

Minnie is an American treasure.

And the crazy thing is that they faded out her 2nd whistle note so we don't really know how long she actually held that note

She is Maya Rudolph mother on Saturday night live.

I truly appreciated y’all reaction, that’s how we felt when the song came out. She definitely had an angelic voice, that exude sensuality, sexiness, her wholesome ability to sing passionately, without vulgar, is a talent that’s been long abandoned by todays music, she takes you there in a heavenly way. I love her, no 😊ne has matched her since, yet?? Great reaction, that was authentic and believable.

React Minnie Riperton "Memory Lane" and "Reasons"

Love this song ♥️

The voice of a angel, please keep it going

She sings effortlessly amazaing

Minnie has 2 beautiful kids with her husband before she passed Maya and Marc when I was going thru cancer she inspired me to fight my breast cancer 4 years now cancer free I loved minnie every since I was little I remember sneaking playing this song I didn't know then what she was talking about my mom came in the room saying what you singimg.i said you can go outside with me lol not even mariah can hit her high notes minnie will always the best🙏🙏❤️👍

You can react to "Joy Inside My Tears" or "Creep" by Stevie Wonder. Minnie sung background on it.

I love Minnie she was one of the best.Nobody could copy her.👍💚 I would also like to hear the Chi-Lites Give it Away and Toby 👍👋👋❤

"The Morning Sun" Incognito awesome tune!

I had this album as a teen. I played it so much, my brother threw it like a Frisbee out the front door.

I counted 25 seconds for that last whistle.

She did a live performance of this song in 1975, she wore a long white dress down to her feet, and she sung it better than albums version. Please react, y'all see Her true skills.

Can’t believe this was released in 1975.

She use her voice like the ultimate Instrument. She controls her voice like a concert pianist would control a piano!

Yall should react to her live performance of this song.

This is a true metaphor song.... Honestly I used to make jokes of this song when I was a teen with a teenage mindset, but now being an adult for 24 years, me being 45 this year, I get the message in this song, and I do appreciate it more now than ever, thank you Minnie, this song is a gem

"Close Your Eyes And Remember" One of her early efforts

She was blessed with one of the greatest voices of all-time! From my state and gone way too soon!!

Tribe called quest favor sample

There's a LIVE VERSIÓN of This song sung by her. Check It Up!!!

Her Voice is Breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL! ❤

My FAVORITE Minnie Riperton song❤️❤️❤️❤️. The lion jumped at her during this shoot; and her husband jumped in front even faster than that animal! There is video footage of that. I can’t remember if it was on Unsung or another documentary. Talk about your man to the rescue!!!

I love your mutual reaction. Everything Minnie sings is 🔥..I remember the day she passed and how we were all affected on Howard U’s campus. Truly missed. The Queen forever.

Minnie is absolutely amazing! ♥

I always give a 'like' to anyone that plays anything by Minnie Riperton. By the way, I remember watching some 'behind the scenes' film of the photo shoot with Minnie and the lion. That's a REAL lion WITH Minnie! I don't think that lion was really liking to be in that session.

Check out the title track of 'Adventures in Paradise' and the ballad 'Stay In Love' from the follow-up album. I've loved Minnie since the 70s and I miss her terribly. What a fabulous artist!

Baby This Love That I Have from that same album is equal 🔥🔥🔥!!! Her angelic voice and the orchestration is pure ecstasy!!! I smiled at your reaction to that first high note, knowing you had NO clue what was coming later in the song.😁❤🔥🔥🎶

I love to see the youngest generation and the way they react to these 70's tunes! I grew up hearing these songs when they first came out and the 70's was the best time for all types of music. I am not sure what market this song was geared towards, but the tag line "Would you come inside my love" was too adult for pop music. "Loving You" was her song that put her on the map although she had so many great tunes. Adventures In Paradise was a wonderful album and I loved Brewster Bay the most.

met her and her husband at her cousins wedding in detroit i was asked to give ride to motel on 8 mile rd beginning of a lasting friendship, went to visit once in chicago they went to eviction court they lived on north side and not welcomed, we were in living room listening to minnie sing not more than 10 feet from us windows opened and when she hit those notes dogs were howling, miss her much oh i also know Shanice and her family

The bass player and drummer were going to town on the outro!

Reasons , from the Perfect Angel album You get her at peak voice as well as Stevie Wonder on drums ! What's not to like.

Name one person who can sing like that today just one?

Yes..CLOSE YOUR EYES AND REMEMBER...check it out.

This was always one of my favorite Minnie songs.

Bruh she really held a note. A whistle. For 25 seconds. I counted. Goddamn

I was a little girl when this came out but I play this in my music rotation...you guys are wonderful and I've been benging your channel ❤❤❤❤

The lion in this video attacked her during this video.

This was my very favorite singer in the world then like they said her music was so good it went over some people's head I name my daughter after her"Julia" RIP angel😥❣️

In an interview she said that lion attacked her during the photo shoot.

Do a reaction to the live video of Loving You. It's out of the universe.

I love your facial expression when she held that note...lol

YESSSSS! MY FAVORITE ❤❤❤❤️❤️

I couldn't stop crying 😭.

Love your reaction!!

Always love your guys' reactions to these songs. if you like this song, check out Trina Broussard's cover from the "Love Jones" soundtrack. A more modern version, but still holds the essence of the original. Either way, both songs are just as great!

There's a song that she recorded it's called give me time please guys check it out it's a beautiful beautiful song

Tha jam!

That piece in her hair is baby breath you have to ask for it from the florals shop

The Genius of the LEGENDARY Mr Leon Ware

Oh nice

And this is why I compare Minnie's voice to an orgasm - songs like this, with her breathy voice, the lyrics and those high notes, the subtext is basically just text. And god bless her for it. Rest in power, madame. ;p

❤ This Woman is The Greatest female singer ( no disrespect to Whitney and Mariah fans) of All Time ! Falsetto

There is a reason why A Tribe Called Quest and J Dilla sampled Minnie’s track Inside My Love. 🔥🔥🔥

Minnie Riperton Baby, This Love I Have

Listen to Minnie's album come to my garden

THE ORIGINAL SONG BIRD!! AND THAT'S HER VOICE. not a whistle

Minnie Riperton🐐

My favorite singer,another rabbit hole,check out song(Lover and Friend)

☮️💙💙💙🔥🌟

Thats a LION

I wish you would do fast as you by dwight yoakum

FYI: Minnie Riperton is Mya Roudolf’s mom. An actress and comedian from Saturday Night Live.

I was not familiar with this. Oddly, Minnie Riperton calls to mind a British singer named Kate Bush. Check out "Running Up the Hill" from 1985.

Carole king,it's to late.a must hear.

I will so 5 octaves

It's like my grandparents said,.Every generation thinks they invented everything including Sex..They said,"How you think how you got here". 😅

A Tribe Called Quest sampled this song. (Lyrics To Go)

I suggest Rick Astley. Never gonna give you up

You may wish to consider Fantastic Four, "Mixed Up Moods and Attitudes" old school soul!

She lost against Aretha Franklin at the awards show. Sad

Inside My Love is a gospel song according to the songwriter.

Why yall got that big ass picture of elvis in there. Love da content doe

Did you know that the lion actually tried to eat her, there's footage on KZfaq

Hope you play Memory Lane

If A lady of mines keeps saying “you can come inside me” …. Like Gumby.. I’m putty 😂😂😂😂
