    I love Minnie Ripperton. She was an amazing singer, there is no other like her. I cried when she passed away in 1979 of cancer. She was only 31 years old. The name Maya, that she mentions at the end of the song is her daughter, Maya Rudolph, from Saturday Night Live.

      Perfect Angel was released in 1974, Minnie died July 12, 1979. She released the following albums prior to her death: “Adventures in Paradise” in 1975; “Stay In Love in 1977; and “Minnie” on May 9, 1979. She died a little over a month later.

      She didn’t die “right after this”. Loving You was released in 1974. Minnie died in 1979. There’s a video of her singing Back Down Memory Lane and she is holding her arm “funny” because she couldn’t move it, that was filmed 2 weeks before she passed. Please make sure you are giving correct information. She lived 5 years AFTER her release of Loving You.

    I love this song for so many reason. When you really dig into it, it's about how passionate the act of love making is but how that can transform into forming a new life, and a next generation. It's a love song to her partner, but also a love song to her child born out of that partnership. It's profound, and sweet, and ultimately tragic, because of the too soon realities of mortality. Imagine Maya Rudolph having such a document about the beginning of her own existence, born out of love and passion and then transformed into her mother's love for her? Mind blowing song.

    I sang this song when I was in the Air Force as part of the airbase talent wide competition back in the 80s. I not only got a standing O but also won first place for female vocalist. Such a simple but complete love song. The Maya she is singing at the end if for her daughter Maya Rudolph who was an infant at the time. I have always loved Minnie and wonder just how far her career would have gone........but God welcomed her home sooner because he was ready for her..........

    • @RetNemmoc555
      @RetNemmoc555 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I remember that, too. There were some rock-and-rollers who maybe mocked it a little just because it was on the radio so much, but there was all-around respect from just about everyone.
      That period, from about 1966 to 1974-5, was remarkable for the diversity of new sounds and styles in popular music. Every album that came out sounded nothing like any other album, and that diversity opened the door for acceptance of songs like this into a rocker's world.
      I made mix tapes on reel-to-reel then that bounced around between Jimi Hendrix, Jackson Browne, Moody Blues, Earth Wind & Fire, Black Sabbath, Cat Stevens, Faces, Joni Mitchel, etc., so plugging in Minnie Ripperton into that mix was perfectly normal. At least in my world there were fewer people who drew a hard line between pop and rock than I see today.
