I saw her " live in person " at The Baltimore Civic Center back in the 1970's. We arrived a little bit late. All of a sudden as you got closer to The Baltimore Civic Center, you heard this high pitch sound like a bird. We knew it was Minnie singing ( the side door was open ) we started running towards the building. I remember this like it was yesterday. I'm now 66 years old/young!
She's SNL's Maya Rudolph's mother. Yes, the amazing Minnie Ripperton. She died at age 32 from cancer. I was a kid when she died and I've never forgot her.. RIP Dearest Queen 👑you are still loved, you are still missed 🙏🏾
This video brought tears to my eyes because I remember Minnie Riperton songs growing up. I loved them!!!She was such a beautiful artist always loved her music!She is still missed!! Rest in peace beautiful Minnie!!.💖🙏🏽🙏🏽🤲🏽
What was most impressive about the lion incident is that the trainer was there just off camera, but it was her husband, who had no experience with lions, who rushed to the stage to save her first. That is true love and courage; plus his musical influence, to me, was the most magical and suited Minnie's gift the best. Liked your presentation as well.
I really appreciate this video it',s a wonderful gift. Minnie rippeton was/ is my favorite. Singer, no one did it like Her. I attended her funeral services at the Westwood cemetery rest in peace, beautiful lady ❤❤❤
I call her MY Minnie Julia😍 She is and will ALWAYS BE my favorite singer I recently had a Shirt made with a Beautiful Picture of her and the year she was born and passed away on it at the top above the picture I had the words PERFECT ANGEL printed. To my delight last month I discovered a song called 'We're Going Wrong' that she did with Rotary Connection and it literally left me speechless don't get me wrong I was already familiar with Rotary Connection I Love the song I am 'The Black Gold Of The Sun'💕 I still have & CHERISH the Jet Magazine featuring her last interview. A TRUE ANGEL to the End💖
Good morning everyone every time l see anything on Minnie l look at it. This lady just reminds me always that life isn't fair. A superb talent who did not live long enough to enjoy the riches her talent would've given her. Rest in Eternal Peace Minnie.The world lost when you left us so soon.
Thank you for making this video, I was a baby when she was making music, but I fell in love with her voice with the song, loving you, her voice was the most beautiful voice I’ve heard. And back then with one tv in a house of 8 me being the youngest I didn’t have a choice of what I could view.
Songstress Minnie passed away on my daughter's bday.july 12 ,1978.... From breast cancer...🙏🏾 Her daughter Maya song ... Loving you...✨. beautiful gentle vocals
Known for decades, A SUPER FAN OF BOTH❗❗❗❗❗❗❗Her Mother WAS WAAAY AHEAD OF HER TIME❗❗❗❗❤️❤️🩹❤️. SHE WILL " ALWAYS" BE MISSED!!!! STEVIE WONDER WAS WITH HER AT HER DEATH BED WITH HER FAMILY!!!! Shortly, Before she passed she performed on The Merv Griffin or Mike Douglass Show!!!! It hurt US SO BAD when she left US,!❤️❤️❤️
The lion on the album cover didn't attack her. They wanted to recreate the cover at a later date and brought a different lion to the shoot. That 2nd lion attacked her.
So y’all saying she was attacked by a damn lion and suffered no injuries? ? What is the source of this info please . I had that album at 12 years old, I was 15 when she died from cancer, I have been a fan most of my life and I’ve never heard that, I know there were two lions, and that one was a bit aggressive, but never attacked her. Please tell me where I can receive this information.
Saw her on "The Sammy Davis Jr. Show" It was her Richard Pryor, and Rodger Moore. Pryor was on the wild. He also showed the clip of her being attacked by the lion.
Her voice was absolutely phenomenal. There will never be another Minnie Riperton. The closest I can think would be a young Mariah Carey. She came real close.
Why is she being referred to as he/his -- it is quite obvious SHE is a SHE !?! Is their no editing by an editor or the narrator or It would appear the garbage man could edit the English better than whoever they used !
Because we all know what happens to celebrities to become rich and famous, At the 9:34 minute mark the narrator makes a freudian slip when referring to how Ripperton’s cancer, “had already greatly affected HIS health and had already advanced into HIS lymphatic system. During one of HIS last performances, HIS arm remained immobile throughout the song.”
I noticed all those errors too, they’re not just Freudian slips, though, but rather ignorance and laziness, haha.., but I’m confused by your comment, “because we all know what happens to celebrities to become rich and famous…” and then you bring up the Freudian slip. How are those related? Lol.
@@erikm8372 Well, from my understanding, a Freudian slip is when you accidentally or unintentionally, tell the truth and expose the lie. My, “because we know…” statement is in regards to how everyone in Hollywood is flipped, M2F or F2M. …jmo…
Is this video narrated by an AI voice, or maybe even written by AI? They have some pretty realistic sounding ones now. This one sounds like Harry Smith, they guy from A&E Biography and CBS news. Is it supposed to be based on his voice?
I call it for what is since the loins in the human form Juda couldn't stand up and chastise her the loin in the beast form did the most high gave her gifts but she chose to be a bed wench then was stuck with a debilitating body then early death we all have choices she squandered hers
Sadly...........this content creator really did not 🚫 have a deep compassion for the iconic singer with the 🎵🎶 magical vioce............i 🤔 think more mention and focus could have been on "memory lane"..........only a black person can relate as deeply from growing up on that song and many others............no punn intended...........but to do a real bang up job 😮😢 and continuously refer to her as ............HE and HIM was definitely very 😠🥺🤬 annoying..........i thank you for the lousy effort..........but the 👎 thumbs 👇 down was earned here...........Minnie will live on in infamy...........with a voice unmatched by any.............❤
Who wrote this? Would it be too much to actually read what you wrote before using some AI voice to narrate the life story of a woman, constantly referring to her as him and his... constantly.
I have never been a Ms. Riperton fan, not a fan of her ultra high falsetto.. What did this narrator say; Bass like the instrument, I think it Bass like the fish.. ♠W.G.

She's SNL's Maya Rudolph's mother. Yes, the amazing Minnie Ripperton. She died at age 32 from cancer. I was a kid when she died and I've never forgot her.. RIP Dearest Queen 👑you are still loved, you are still missed 🙏🏾
I was also a young... She was the only artist that I cried when they passed...looked through her album at the sun, and it was purple.
She was 33 when she passed. I love her voice and musicality on a grand scale.
I thought she was killed by a Lion 🤔, crazy tilted.
This video brought tears to my eyes because I remember Minnie Riperton songs growing up. I loved them!!!She was such a beautiful artist always loved her music!She is still missed!! Rest in peace beautiful Minnie!!.💖🙏🏽🙏🏽🤲🏽
I still remember her last performance on Soul Train performing , “ Memory Lane”. Oh wee I cried..
She was a musical gift - gone too soon. Thanks for sharing

Nice! Minnie was special!
High notes ,,,, love her voice !!!!
I really love her song black butterfly.
I thought that was Denise Williams??? Black Butterfly
Yes Denise Williams!
Remembering Minnie's impressive range in vocaliztions reminds me of Yma Sumac's vocalizions as well, but Minnie owned the higher registers.
Maya-Maya, Maya-Maya, Maya Maya Maaayaa Maya....doooo-beedoo. bedoo-bedoo-bedooo❤❤❤ Minnie sang to Maya at the end of Loving You.
THEE GOAT!!...NONE CAN COMPARE 2 THAT AWESOME WHISTLE REGISTER
RIP 🙏...MINNIE RIPERTON ..❤️
GREAT NARRATION OF A STORY.
It’s actually a horrible narration, they called Minnie “him” and “his” and “he” several times, and referred to her as “The Correct Riperton”. Wtf?
@@erikm8372 I was looking for this comment👍

That's awesome 👍. I had no idea that Maya Rudolph's mother was Minnie Ripperton. 💁🌈✨
I didn't until fairly recently!

She was extraordinary! And beautiful! I would think she inspired Mariah Carey's style!
Lonely Girl is one of my favs
Return to forever is my favorite song

@@davidbarnes1113 Google ?
@@michelrood2966..😊😂
A few narration errors, but overall a good video.
Did anyone else notice the guy speaking kept referring to her as (He/Him) through this video?
To pose next to a lion says more about that person than the lion.
Saw her on "The Sammy Davis Jr. Show" It was her Richard Pryor, and Rodger Moore. Pryor was on the wild. He also showed the clip of her being attacked by the lion.
Wow!
I noticed miss Aretha Franklin in one of those groups but Minnie Riperton is still amazing.
A lion? Wth!? She died from cancer! Rip Minnie. 🙏🏿 Her voice is unmatched. ❤❤❤❤ 🐦 🕊
Sad😢
Her voice was absolutely phenomenal. There will never be another Minnie Riperton. The closest I can think would be a young Mariah Carey. She came real close.
👏👏👏 !!! we miss you mini 😢
Why is she being referred to as he/his -- it is quite obvious SHE is a SHE !?! Is their no editing by an editor or the narrator or It would appear the garbage man could edit the English better than whoever they used !
Computer voice I think.
I kept hearing it too.😮
I was thinking the same thing
@Jukebox of Fame Several times it sounded like you referred to Minnie Riperton as "his"...did I hear you correctly?
They need to correct the reference of Minnie as him/his, as this is incorrect.
Subbed
I was right about Mariah being inspired by Minnie!
It’s Chicago Illinois not the other way around.
You might want to change your thumbnail from “his voice was a musical instrument” to “her” voice, lol.
Because we all know what happens to celebrities to become rich and famous, At the 9:34 minute mark the narrator makes a freudian slip when referring to how Ripperton’s cancer, “had already greatly affected HIS health and had already advanced into HIS lymphatic system.

Find some Rotary Connection, "Black Gold of the Sun' & Come to my Garden-- you'll be mesmerized ❤️🖤💚
Why do you her a him? you did it lots and i think you might be AI or something.
Why did u refer to Ms Ripperton, as He???
"Love LIVES Forever". Short "i". I can't believe you mispronounced that.
She's buried close to Marilyn.
I call it for what is since the loins in the human form Juda couldn't stand up and chastise her the loin in the beast form did the most high gave her gifts but she chose to be a bed wench then was stuck with a debilitating body then early death we all have choices she squandered hers
07:12 what the hell is the “correct Riperton”? Her name is Minnie…Bizarre narration. And no, the lion wasn’t just joking!
His?
Dude narrating...Is English your second language or what? Don't know the difference between he/she?🤨
When you kept saying him instead of her I was irritated but a good video nonetheless.
This is not true! She died of breast cancer 🎀
The lion?
Why this video keep calling her him and using the wrong pronouns for her.
And why do you say “his” so much? Is she not a woman?!
“The biggest song of his career,” are you kidding me?
She was born in Chicago Illinois, terrible work from a computer voice.
Why do you keep calling her him
Idk that
Didnt she die of breast cancer

Stop thr bs Minnie transsitioned after dealing with Cancer
I'm pretty sure Minnie's pronouns weren't him/he..She was born a female and died a female.
Who wrote this? Would it be too much to actually read what you wrote before using some AI voice to narrate the life story of a woman, constantly referring to her as him and his... constantly.
Why do u keep saying he when Minnie was a she
I never liked her music
I have never been a Ms. Riperton fan, not a fan of her ultra high falsetto..
What did this narrator say; Bass like the instrument, I think it Bass like the fish.. ♠W.G.
great voice. Married the slave master. Blks didnt really support her because of that. I was there
