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!🥲🤎🙏🕊
If ever there was someone that had made an impact on the world in such a short time, it is Minnie Riperton! Although I would put Bruce Lee as a close second.
There will be never another Minnie Riperton I'll swim with 13 years old when she passed away and I cried out loud cuz I was seeking some kind of way to get away from the house my mother was so strict and I thought I was in love I'm kind of smiling at the facts that I was dumb as hell Minnie Riperton was Mike getaway thank you so much Minnie Riperton R.I.P love you always
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)
Unfortunately, this was her last song that was not quite complete when she died. Listen to the pain when she sings save me, her husband said she was in excruciating pain. Watch her doc on TH-cam .
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.
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.
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🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Just because you reminded me of that song, I'm going to Google and listen to "If I Ever Lose This Heaven" with Minnie Riperton. I feel like listening to Minnie Riperton today, Easter Sunday.
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!
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
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🙏🙏❤️👍
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.
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.😁❤🔥🔥🎶
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
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!!!
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😥❣️
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
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.
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.
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!
Minnie seemed like an amazing person. It makes sense that Mya is so talented Ted & funny. I once saw her on a variety show that Sammy Davis had for a short time, kinda alike the Tonight show. Richard Pryor was also a guest and was already sitting there. Before he could even get up to greet her, she acted like she was attacking him and pretended to be kissing him all wild and of course Richard played it up with his ar,s and legs flailing like he didn’t know what was happening. Hilarious!! She was so comfortable I. Front of camera & on stage. That wasn’t common among black entertainers back then. Another who was natural like that was Donna Summer, also had sense of humor, both really warm people. And Minnie was almost attacked by that lion in the picture. There’s a recorded video of the hits shoot. 🧡🙏🏾🌟

How can you NOT be on a cloud while listening to Minnie?!? You're being serenaded by an 😇!
She wasn’t whistling………….that’s her high pitch that no other R&B female artist could match till this day!!!!!!!!!! #Myerabetterthanyours
There will be never another Minnie Riperton I'll swim with 13 years old when she passed away and I cried out loud cuz I was seeking some kind of way to get away from the house my mother was so strict and I thought I was in love I'm kind of smiling at the facts that I was dumb as hell Minnie Riperton was Mike getaway thank you so much Minnie Riperton R.I.P love you always

Those are some of my favorites also.
Is so my heart
Back down memory lane by Minnie is beautiful as well.
The title is just "Memory Lane" fam
Unfortunately, this was her last song that was not quite complete when she died. Listen to the pain when she sings save me, her husband said she was in excruciating pain. Watch her doc on TH-cam .
You right
That is my fave.
YES!🥰
The original og of the whistle registry. It don't get no better than Ms queen Minnie!!
Yes, that note goes on and on, just barely hearing it at the end. She was a gift.
She holds that B-flat for 40 beats (10 measures)!
RIP Minnie Riperton it's so sad that she died so young 😢
Really sad
I'm crying for her memory. She was it.
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💜🙏🏽🕊️
My favorite Minnie Riperton song.Such a beautiful song
The Live version is Even more amazing , she holds that Note Live as well.
I Highly recommend Listening to another fave , REASONS.

The LEGENDARY Iconic Ms Minnie Riperton
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🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The entire, "Adventures In Paradise" cd is a masterpiece!
Absolutely!
Her early album...COME TO MY GARDEN showcases her near operatic vocals.
My favorite Minnie album.
What an incredible and gifted singer, 🩵🩵🩵 Minnie Riperton, that wasn’t a whistle, that was a note
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.
Great recommendation! I like the cover by AWB too.
I believe that she was background on Stevie Wonder’s “Creepin’”
Just because you reminded me of that song, I'm going to Google and listen to "If I Ever Lose This Heaven" with Minnie Riperton. I feel like listening to Minnie Riperton today, Easter Sunday.
Such an Angelic voice
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!
Now she can sing!!!!
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
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🙏🙏❤️👍
The voice of a angel, please keep it going
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 👍👋👋❤
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.
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.😁❤🔥🔥🎶
You can react to "Joy Inside My Tears" or "Creep" by Stevie Wonder. Minnie sung background on it.
There is a reason why A Tribe Called Quest and J Dilla sampled Minnie’s track Inside My Love. 🔥🔥🔥
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
She was blessed with one of the greatest voices of all-time! From my state and gone way too soon!!
I believe this was her best song!
Then she got funky with it with Back Down Memory Lane
In an interview she said that lion attacked her during the photo shoot.
Minnie is absolutely amazing!
♥
Minnie is an American treasure.
Love this song ♥️
She is Maya Rudolph mother on Saturday night live.
She sings effortlessly amazaing
I counted 25 seconds for that last whistle.
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!!!
Her voice could tame the wildest of beasts though, I bet
React Minnie Riperton "Memory Lane" and "Reasons"
Yes! Yes! Both great songs!!!
Her Voice is Breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL! ❤
"The Morning Sun" Incognito awesome tune!
Oh, definitely! Incognito is not to be slept on.
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
Well She held it that's for damn sure
I had this album as a teen. I played it so much, my brother threw it like a Frisbee out the front door.
There's a LIVE VERSIÓN of This song sung by her.
Check It Up!!!
Live on The Midnight Special TV show!
Reasons , from the Perfect Angel album
You get her at peak voice as well as Stevie Wonder on drums ! What's not to like.
This was always one of my favorite Minnie songs.
The Genius of the LEGENDARY Mr Leon Ware
truly one of the giants.
"Close Your Eyes And Remember" One of her early efforts
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😥❣️
Yes..CLOSE YOUR EYES AND REMEMBER...check it out.
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
She use her voice like the ultimate Instrument. She controls her voice like a concert pianist would control a piano!
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.

Tribe called quest favor sample
The bass player and drummer were going to town on the outro!
That piece in her hair is baby breath you have to ask for it from the florals shop
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!
Can’t believe this was released in 1975.
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 ❤❤❤❤

Oh nice
Listen to Minnie's album come to my garden
☮️💙💙💙🔥🌟
Thats a LION
I suggest Rick Astley. Never gonna give you up
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.
FYI: Minnie Riperton is Mya Roudolf’s mom. An actress and comedian from Saturday Night Live.
You may wish to consider Fantastic Four, "Mixed Up Moods and Attitudes" old school soul!
If A lady of mines keeps saying “you can come inside me” …. Like Gumby.. I’m putty 😂😂😂😂
Inside My Love is a gospel song according to the songwriter.
It's like my grandparents said,.Every generation thinks they invented everything including Sex..They said,"How you think how you got here". 😅
I wish you would do fast as you by dwight yoakum
Carole king,it's to late.a must hear.
I will so 5 octaves
Sexy, 🔥 love this music classic ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Did you know that the lion actually tried to eat her, there's footage on TH-cam
