😂🤣 I'm laughing bc I never new it was about her daughter I thought it was about men she loved. 😅 I'm also laughing bc her daughter ruined the m&Ms brand why?
Minnie and her husband wrote loving you together. It started as a lullaby for their baby daughter maya rudolf but then it turned into a romance love song.
I loved this song when it was first released and still is beautiful. Never knew she was singing about her daughter. She sure sings her name at the end.
I knew it for about 10 years now, it's still a beautiful song about her lovely and talented daughter Maya Rudolph. Rest In Paradise The Late Legendary Beautiful Songbird Ms. Minnie Riperton. .gone but never forgotten!!❤❤🥰💯💃💋😇👑🏆🎤🎵🎧💽🎊🫶🙏🙌
Minnie’s husband wrote the melody originally which she sang to Maya as a lullaby. He wrote the lyrics later which were about Minnie. So only half true.
O M G. You've discovered the secret of how they came up withe best love songs - it was actually parents writing to their infants!!! That explains why it's always, baby this, and baby that, baby baby baby... thinking about it now, it should've been obvious all along. A whole lot of "mama" in the love song lyrics, too. Plus, that could explain why it usually sounds like childrens' music...
i have never heard this song before and i'm so glad you made me discover it because it really is my type of song, also its really fun to play a calm soft bassline to
Gosh I never knew that, can you imagine one of the greatest love songs ever being about you and your name being sung at the end of the record and the whole world playing it, I wonder if anyone caught it at the end of the record because I just now did, and Stevie Wonder is such a gifted genius but also a very humble giving person, during the course of the 70’s which was his classic period he wrote and arranged so many songs for other people that became major unforgettable hits, people like the Spinners, Aretha Franklin, Rufus & Chaka Khan, and just so many others, what a giver. Polyphonic you do amazing work, I wish like Donna Summer you could extend this to a longer documentary about the song but I won’t complain. I forever appreciate your work you’ve done already, keep up the awesome content! 😊
That line was added, changed and was about her husband.... The chorus was about her daughter... Loving you is easy cause you're beautiful ❤️... Maya, Maya,....
Stevie is a Taurus. I the lyrics to “Superwoman” he makes reference to the woman who he’s singing about “ trying to boss the bull around.” His fans know he is the “the bull” in the song.
Tengo al rededor d 52 años escuchando esta bella calidad de musica y m voy enterando de q Minnie era mami de esta gran actriz mis respetos para ellas y Dios la tenga en su santa gloria pues fue es y sera parte de mi vida muchas gracias x compartir
My mother told me it was written about her daughter and I always wondered about that one line and am glad to have finally learned the answer. Makes sense that It was a change. Like maya and minnie, my own mother and i were too young when she died (granted not as young as they were). My mom passed away 2 weeks ago and I would like this song played at her funeral but not gonna do that cuz that one "'decidedly adult" line would be weird lol
Yes Maya Maya yes Maya Maya beautiful over and over again Chloe and Chloe and Chloe my love my daughter she just loved her daughter she loved her daughter so much Maya Maya Maya Maya beautiful beautiful beautiful sweetheart I'm going to get it beautiful yes yes and yes
It came from a lullaby they would sing for Maya but they also turned it into a love song as if she's singing it to her husband when she sings that part.
It was dedicated to both husband and Maya. Towards husband especially with these lines: "Making love with you is all I wanna do" also this line "And every time that we oooooh I'm more in love with you"
Maya Maya Maya Maya beautiful my daughter I miss her so much and Chloe Chloe Chloe and I love that you're my beautiful woman she was so neat and I love her so much and she just wanted to tell you how much she loves you and Maya how much she loved you I mean I know that way back like 30 years ago how much she loves you and Maya Maya and I hope you see this I don't know if you're going to see it but I tell you she loves you so much she loves you so much
No it was about her husband because she was dying of cancer and she had stop singing and decide to sing and revamped her career and her and her husband wrote the song together
@@dildonius Still the entertainment industry and at any rate she is very privileged. Nepotism isn't really the problem in my opinion however, lack of talent is. As long as a famous person is talented I really couldn't care whether they were privileged or not.
This song was beautiful yet weird, it was a love song/ sexual. then at the end she started calling her daughter’s name which was always weirdly inappropriate. ( I think they should have left it a lullaby! We would have still loved it)!
Absolutely hated this annoying song. It was horrible and annoying when it was on the radio, and you just re annoyed me by playing it again. Stop the torture.
I knew it was about her daughter but somehow forgot that Maya Rudolph was her daughter
You forgot......I didn't even KNOW 😂😂😂
Because she died when Maya was 6 years old. Maya then went on to ruin the m&ms candy brand.
How did she ruined m&m?
😂🤣 I'm laughing bc I never new it was about her daughter I thought it was about men she loved.
😅 I'm also laughing bc her daughter ruined the m&Ms brand why?
I knew Maya was her daughter but I didn't know this song was about her 😂
Maya looks exactly the same as a child. Just smaller. 😂
You beat me to it -- she's 51 years old now! 😂
yeah and she is exactly a mix between her mom and dad like literally 50/50 aha
It still hits me like a ton of bricks that she died so young. Just a powerhouse of art and love.
Minnie and her husband wrote loving you together. It started as a lullaby for their baby daughter maya rudolf but then it turned into a romance love song.
And This Is Why I Say That She Deserves To Be Inducted Into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
I loved this song when it was first released and still is beautiful. Never knew she was singing about her daughter. She sure sings her name at the end.
It originated as a lullaby, but it was reworked with more romantic lyrics.
So much pure love in that song. Just beautiful.💕
The most beautiful voice And song 🎵 ❤
God I love it so much when musicians create a song/music in tribute for their child
Go listen to the song Brandon from the album Generation Swine and get back to me.
@@austinnix4416 or slightly more appropriate considering his involvement in 'Loving You', 'Isn't She Lovely' by Stevie Wonder.

Minnie was Wonder's back vocalist
I had no idea Maya Rudolph is Minnie Ripperton's daughter!
Omgosh I did Not know this❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I did know that. I love to tell people that Maya Rudolph can sing, and her mom was one of the greatest singers of the era.
Life can sometimes be very sad and I was very sad at the early passing of Mini Ripperton. Her voice was like an angel. ❤
Omg this was one of my favorite songs as a child. This is amazing.
Minnie’s husband wrote the melody originally which she sang to Maya as a lullaby. He wrote the lyrics later which were about Minnie. So only half true.
Knowing its origin makes the song even more wonderful, though I thought that couldn’t be possible.
Absolutely beautiful ❤️🥰❤️
Well this is a new one for me!! Goes right up there with learning Rashida Jones was Quincy’s daughter 😅
Man, no wonder Maya so foxy...two gorgeous parents...
For real !!!

I knew most of these facts about many, but polyphonic has taught me so much about music, John Bonham everything great channel

If there is anyone who it is easy to love, it would be Maya Rudolph
Sarcasm?
Especially if it’s your own daughter
She never really got a chance to know her mommy. Glad she has a lot of footage and a lullaby. Memory Lane is in my rotation. 💜💜💜

I'm sorry his pen name was EL TORO NEGRO? **THE BLACK BULL**?
you know why 💀🍆
@@its_myo
He is a Taurus, in which the symbol is... a bull... El Toro.
@@fedoramcclaren4294 i know it was a joke 😭 a very bad one 💀
@@its_myo
Oooooh...i am so horrible at jokes!!!
@@fedoramcclaren4294 i mean look at my atrocious comment 💀
Yes my mommy always let me know this ❤
Omg I love maya I didn’t know no that was her mother but I am a 90’s kid lol
Another fun fact: Maya Rudolph is married to Paul Thomas Anderson.
Another fun fact: Maya's Whitney Houston impression is the best impression ever captured by a camera
🤔
Really? I had no idea!!!
@@irotinmyskin no, it is one of her best, but Maya as Kamala Harris is even better!
🕊️💐THE PERFECT ANGEL🕊️💐
“and every time that we…..ooooh!!” is about her daughter? hmm.
The song was an adulterized version of the lullaby for her daughter
Original
That line was added, changed and was about her husband.... The chorus was about her daughter... Loving you is easy cause you're beautiful ❤️... Maya, Maya,....
@@chordsofgratitude2073 Yup. That's right
His name was the black bull in spanish 😂😂
Stevie is a Taurus.
I the lyrics to “Superwoman” he makes reference to the woman who he’s singing about “ trying to boss the bull around.”
His fans know he is the “the bull” in the song.
Tengo al rededor d 52 años escuchando esta bella calidad de musica y m voy enterando de q Minnie era mami de esta gran actriz mis respetos para ellas y Dios la tenga en su santa gloria pues fue es y sera parte de mi vida muchas gracias x compartir
Over and over great over and over great
I've never knew the full origin. Thank you!
The band Her’s did a amazing cover of this song that never made it onto their speculated third album
I Love Minnie, this song, and now I love it even more...

Didn't know that. Thanks
I mean.... nepo baby aside. I love Maya Rudolph, and I never would've expected this
She added Ringo, Ringo to her adlib on her final live performance afterwards
Maya Maya beautiful Maya my beautiful

The song is about her husband and her beautifully creating mya as well because she says “ everytime we ooohhh I’m more inlove with you” (meaning sex)
Exactly. Thank you.
Omgsh!! Cool!!! I thought this was a joke for a second.
It was also covered by chloe bailey😂
Minnie was AMAZING!
I'm ahead of the curve. How did you not know this?
Easter egg/Deconstruction.
Yes Maya Maya yes Maya Maya beautiful over and over again Chloe and Chloe and Chloe my love my daughter she just loved her daughter she loved her daughter so much Maya Maya Maya Maya beautiful beautiful beautiful sweetheart I'm going to get it beautiful yes yes and yes
❤❤
Minnie ❤️
❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤
if this dedicated to Maya, why does she say, “and every time that we ohh!” 😳
It came from a lullaby they would sing for Maya but they also turned it into a love song as if she's singing it to her husband when she sings that part.
❤👍
Maya i love you back
Idk man, the "every time that we" line sounds a bit... y'know
It was written for Maya. The lyrics were changed to fit more adult standards in music back in the day.
It was dedicated to both husband and Maya. Towards husband especially with these lines: "Making love with you is all I wanna do" also this line "And every time that we oooooh
I'm more in love with you"
So Maya’s a nepo baby????
Ain't no way, the song was about former Rentals keyboardist/backing vocalist Maya Rudolph?!?!?!
Detail please, the melody yes for Maya but the lyrics, no, cause if it is then it's kinda weird.
Maya Maya Maya Maya beautiful my daughter I miss her so much and Chloe Chloe Chloe and I love that you're my beautiful woman she was so neat and I love her so much and she just wanted to tell you how much she loves you and Maya how much she loved you I mean I know that way back like 30 years ago how much she loves you and Maya Maya and I hope you see this I don't know if you're going to see it but I tell you she loves you so much she loves you so much
Bro I was wondering why Maya was in the song im like is that her husband but its her daughter
On the album cover shes kinda dressed like F.F. from JoJo's
“Making love with you, is all I wanna do” yeah I’m not sure your telling the truth buddy
Maya❤maya
No it was about her husband because she was dying of cancer and she had stop singing and decide to sing and revamped her career and her and her husband wrote the song together
iti malia maya
🥹😭
So why she sing „Making love with you" ?
I didn't know she was a nepo baby damn
Very talented nepo baby though so it's fine
Can you really call her that when she went into a totally different artistic medium though?

I too enjoy spreading misinformation

Sorry but I cannot listen to this song. It was ALWAYS playing at the dentist when I was a kid. My teeth hurt when it comes on
I don't want shorts
Then watch the full videos. They're right there on his channel.
