@@LegionIvory I'm comparing the nuances. Minnie Riperton's rendition is perfection, I agree, but for including so much of what was in the original (her voice and the orchestration) with nothing more than the voice I think this is probably as good as it gets.
I thumbsed up every single positive comment (which was the overwhelming majority) -- just to bring more traffic here and more consciousness to this post and incredible rendition of Minnie Ripperton's (really Charles Stepney's) LES FLEUR. TOTALLY AMAZING. You guys and gals are absolutely WONDERFUL!! The smiles on your faces are as beautiful as the song itself, and your flawless rendition. You all are the personification of the song itself -- "inside every Man, lives the Seed of a Flower" -- you are seven beautiful Flowers, giving us all so much "LOVE AND JOY -- FAITH AND HOPE" -- most especially JOY -- SHEER HAPPINESS AND WONDER AT THE BEAUTY OF CREATION!!!
A joyous and addictive incarnation of the beauty that occurs when people work together. If we could see the world as a choir, can you imagine the difference?
To hear and see human voices raised in song, in harmony, is perhaps the closest thing in the gross material realm to the DIVINE -- always, when performed at this level, and with this quality of composition, seems to bring me right into the Presence of God.
You all are FANTASTIC! An epic masterpiece of interpretation of one the most beautiful and poetic musical works of art in history. Bravo to all of you !
Choir nerd kudos for their technical skills! I have followed the The Swingles since their first incarnation as Ward Swingle's 'Swingle Singers' in 1962. They have always insisted on the most remarkable control over pitch and vibrato. They can sing in perfect tune, and hold notes with almost zero vibrato until it's called for, usually at the ends of phrases.
wow. wow and wow.. those counter-harmonies in the verses are insanely awesome!!! well, the entire remake is insanely awesome.. excellent job everyone..
0:45 the girl of the beautiful smile sing like a Angel when i hear sing this song feel like hear his beautiful voice inside of my head and love her when sing this song with this amazing acapella group
You have no idea how much joy this brings to my life !!! I've been looking for this song for years. I found this through humming google..... This is the best song ever.. Because you have all represented this....It's really amazing. you have no idea how happy you made someone! Thank you!🥰👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😘😘😘😘😘
dammmmmnn that was the nicest thing I've ever heard !!!!!! I had been looking for years after this song to be honest, this version is even more beautiful than the original 🤣! beautifully done!!!!! with loving greetings from the Netherlands
Outstanding! What a magical performance of a hugely-underrated song.
Took my breath away! I am a big Minnie Riperton fan.
Beautiful people with beautiful voices. I love this arrangement. Thank you.
Les fleurs is the most beautiful and powerful masterpiece on the planet
Fantastic version of one of the best songs ever
Incredible job. Minnie Ripperton's original is so intricate . . . and this version is almost indistinguishable.
Don't you dare tell that lie.
The original had a full choir ensemble with a chamber orchestra. This doesn't come close.
