I Was 8 Year's Old When This Song Came Out It Was All Over The Radio Beautiful Song Beautiful Voice Beautiful Lady ❤️💔
You do wonderful reactions. This song was part of my childhood so I especially loved this one!
only in the 70,s real soul real talent never to be repeated
How lucky for Maya. RIP Minnie Riperton.
Midnight Special with Wolfman Jack was a must see as a teenager in the 70s. Great music and memories. Have loved this song from the moment I heard it. I understand she wrote it as a lullaby for her daughter and then made it a love song.
Minnie Riperton was Amazing....
I love how she sings Wouldn't Matter Where You Are to her son Marc too. She would have already been ill when she wrote and recorded it so it was a subtle message to Marc. It so beautiful.
The Incomparable, Unsurpassable One and ONLY Minnie🌷
Oh and by the way, this most beautiful of songs could just as easily have been written for you gorgeous man.
Great reaction, Patrick. I remember seeing this performance before. I knew that she would catch you off guard with the "more than just" in whistle at the beginning. The ending, where she is singing to her daughter Maya, is so sweet. I have her greatest hits and man, did she make some awesome music!
She did. I was not expecting that change at all but I LOVED it. Her voice is one in a million. Omg. All of the singer’s on my channel her voice is definitely top tier. 😎💯.
One of my favorite live Performances from her 🥰🥰🥰. I highly recommend watching her Live Performance on Soul Train singing, Reasons.
Please keep Minnie Riperton's wonderful music in mind whenever you want to thoroughly experience joy.
I dont know if people know this but this is actress MYA Rudolph's mother
A lot of people do not.
I didn't know until 2 or 3 years ago until I read an article on Maya Rudolph. So hearing her singing Maya. Maya Maya just makes me break down. What an amazing singer. Unforgettable.

Oh good, I was hoping you’d be familiar with this song. Such a remarkable voice, and to do it live….
Omg thank you for such a great post and reaction. You have your very own special glow 👍
Of course. No thank you for watching 🤗😎.
You need to listen to her perform "Inside My Love". You will be blown away.
Love it when she dats Maya name at the end. Radio would not play that part of the song. They said it sounded like a demonic chant
Great reaction loved it
That 1st song was called Reasons. The 2nd song….

If ur interested n a totally different rendition of this song, she does a live version of 'Lovin' You' with the George Benson band. It's a reprise & up-tempo.
What? Really? I would be very interested!!
Thank you 😊💯

This is a wonderful version. To be honest I actually prefer this version.

Listen to "Can You Feel What I'm Saying" (the LIVE performance), and ""Baby This Love I Have".
