- She was a precious flower; a songbird whose voice was pure sunshine on the most beautiful day. Every song she sung, you felt the joy of her spirit shining through her voice. With a five-and-a-half-octave vocal range and a unique ability to reach the highest register of the human voice with the ease of bird taking to flight, Minnie Riperton proved to be in a league of her own. To date, no one has managed to hit those insane notes like she did.

HER VOICE HAD A PITCH THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED.
💯!!!!
I love this lady ❤❤❤❤❤ nothing but love for her ❤
Even to match I wouldn't do it for respect other artists and crazed fans took her through, I've learned from her real lived experience,we win or learn never lose listening to Jehovah and John 3 16 Jesus!
She had an angelic voice. She has never gotten the accolades that she deserves. Gone too soon. 🙏🏽
YES GONE TOO SOON😢
I don't know much about her, but the whole point of being blessed and graced with specifics, isn't for recognition. There is a reason why most will aim to deprive something like recognition l, while ignoring someone for ***who *they are. As depriving someone from/from getting attention is a psychological antic that manipulators will use to mentally bind those that buy into that and want things like that. It's like beyond obvious, that a negative outcome is needed, which is why folk do it. When you have a solid connection to Life ***and the Life that it has extended to you. Your reverence for your existence, doesn't lie in folk and the silly behaviors that they copy and paste for similar results. As it's equivalent to being stuck in a mental cycle based on seeking bottom basement approval/s that lack real substance and drive. As the whole point of living and having Life is to possess and encounter people and things of substance. I'm gonna hope that she didn't allow such pettiness and simpleton behavior to dampen her spirit.
She got the accolades, most definitely and, still do.
You took my comment way too far. I would go further with you on this, but I'm from the old school, so I will let it be.
They Should Do A Biopic Movie Story About Minnie Riperton
Her style is imitated, but never duplicated, because as of today, no one can touch her voice
No One 😢
Chante Moore comes close.
@@ellet5693 Chante Moore comes close but doesn't touch Minnie's angelic and soulful voice.
NoLiesDetected!!! Incomparable Minnie Riperton
May she rest in peace she lead the way for shanice chante moore,mariah
BACK DOWN MEMORY LANE! God Bless you and your family Ms. Ripperton!🙏🏿
Yes, that is my favorite sing of hers ❤.
Rest in peace, Queen 🙏🏾🙏🏾
As a teenager Minnie was the background singer for Etta James
I love to see Minnie get the recognition she deserves and get inducted to the rock in roll hall of fame she definitely deserves it RIP
@@vanessarobinson3437 That would be great!
Voice so high.... Makes Mariah Carey sound like Barry White!!!!!!😂😂
Both of these women are gifted in their own right. Now Ms. Minnie is talented beyond words. Her voice is heavenly. RIP ❤
@@marshallevoltzministries9240 💯💯
🤣😂😂😂🤣🙌🏿❣ Good one☝🏿😄❣
Wait was this supposed to be funny I forgot to laugh???.....This comment was so unnecessary Mariah Carey has acknowledged Minnie Ripperton many times in her career ..... This comment is so tastless and also what is wrong sounding like Barry White he is and was very successful and what he does ...... Can you sing? What can you do??? Over here making jokes about people that are more talented than you...... That's what's wrong with y'all folks today y'all are dry hating because your musically challenge and just hearing what other people say and repeating it as facts ....
Omg stop😂😂😂. I absolutely love both of these women. Very talented❤
I miss her so much.Her range and musical expressions are incomparable.What she shared and left us cannot be ignored.😮😢😢
My mom loved this woman they now singing together in heaven 🙏
She died so young😞
My mom told me that she cried when Minnie Riperton died. That's how she felt about her. A woman who she never met but was touch by her music. Maya looks like her.
May she rest in peace ❤ I had breast cancer and I am a thin non drinker. Weight really has nothing to do with it.
I hope you’re doing well.
@alexandradillard2077 I am! Thank you for that. I was diagnosed at my first mammogram (age 40). I had to have a unilateral mastectomy. My cancer was hormone receptive and had no genetic precursors. It's so scary. The fact that she didn't crumble and instead spoke out shows the kind of strength Minnie had. ❤
@@Chickentender77922 I get it! I had a scare a couple of years ago when I detected what felt like a lump in my armpit. Before I go on, it is very important to know how to feel for any lumps for possible cancer. Needless to say, when I went to the doctor for a mammogram it was just a clump. But it’s also important to get regular mammograms for early detection. I’m glad you’re doing well 😊!
She's the reason why i adore baby's breath flowers l, she wore them in her hair so elegantly
Denise Williams and Minnie Rippton on The same record now that's a guaranteed hit!!!
Back Down Memory Lane was a hit, surprise they didn’t mention that song
When she passed...It hurt me to my core!!! The sweetest lady and I came to believe God needed her sweet voice as a Angel and she will never be replaced! Love you Minne and that's from my SOUL 🙏❤🌹😢
Back down memory lane she was clearly singing about not dying and leaving her kids & family 🥲
I wonder if she knew her life's outcome before it happened. Her singing “back down memory lane” brings that to my mind. We will never know.
She did. Back Down Memory Lane is on her last album. At the end of the song near the fade-out, she is singing "Maya, Maya." That's to her daughter Maya Rudolph
30 looked so mature back then! She’s gorgeous with a youthful sultry presence but she did not look 31😱
My dad introduced me to her music. She will ALWAYS be my favorite female vocalist‼️♥️🎼🎶
She could enunciate in the whistle register. Those bird sounds on "Lovin' You" was her. She recorded great songs too - RIH Riperton
You know, I thought I was the only one who detected this. You have a great ear!
Great video. I love Minnie Riperton ever since I was a child and heard Loving You for the first time. Thought the album cover with the melting ice cream cone was so cute. When she passed it hit me hard as a kid. I think I never really ever got over it. I admire her and her vocal ability so much. I loved seeing pictures and videos of her that I've haven't seen before. She was such a a musical treasure. ❤️
The range of her voice and the control will never be heard again.
I remembered the day so well when she passed. I was awaken by the song Loving you. Then the news she had passed. My mom was up getting ready for work and she yelled my name and I was already up turning the T.V on and then I played back down memory lane over and over and fell that was her way of letting the world know she was leaving us
I remember that day I'll never forget 😢
Oh yes I remember that as well 😢
Het daughter is Mya Rudolph the comedian from Saturday Night Live and Netflix movie Wine Country ❤
I didn’t know that!
Yes her daughter is so funny. Especially in the movies she play in.
Also in “Loot”
@ohrheeco ...Maya*
And lets not forget.....or remind the ppl that Denise Williams had the second highest vocal range followed by Phillip Bailey.
Excellent 👍👌 content. She was an unique 🎉 awesome person. 🕊️
Couldn't agree more!❤️
Glad you enjoyed it
I had the privilege of seeingMinnie live in concert with Stevie Wonder when I was 15 years old. This was after Adventures in Paradise, which was my favorite album by her, was released. She put on fantastic show. The funny part is that I had no idea that she was appearing with Stevie until she came on stage and my older sister started hollering “go on Minnie! Go on sister!”😄😄! Okay. This may not be funny but I just wanted to share a memory 😉! Her intro was memorable because she came on with Reasons, and she tore into that song. The year she died, she was scheduled to perform at the now defunct Circle Star Theater in San Carlos, CA. My sister, some friends and I were going to see her, but…. I downloaded all of her music on my Apple Music app.
Lord maybe if she had lived during today’s time she would still be alive. With the promotion of mammogram screenings, genetic blood testing etc that we have now, maybe she would have had a fighting chance! Her story is so sad. My goodness she was the spitting image of her mother! ❤
Minnie will always be one of my favorite singers. Her voice can not be compared. The ease with which she could slip into those extremely high notes was amazing! Love this lady forever.
She is One of Best to ever do it. A LEGACY, AND LEGEND,that is Timeless. I am Bless to have seen you live in concert. The Ancestors have you now and you will return again.
I did too. She did not disappoint!
Man that's powerful 👍🎵🎶🎼
Breaks my Heart every time I think of Our Perfect Angel. Rip Minnie 🙏🏾
Minnie remains a Top 5 lock on my list of all-time favorite American female vocalists (other 4 being Phyllis Hyman, Lizz Wright, Teena Marie, and Judith Hill). I agree that she really didn't receive her flowers when she was still here on this earth. Her groundbreaking solo debut album ('Come To My Garden') should've made her an INSTANT household name back then, while her songwriting contributions with then-husband Richard Rudolph firmly made her a force to be reckoned with from an artistic standpoint. Her tragic passing due to breast cancer was made even more painful on account that she still had SO MUCH MORE to offer the music community at the time, but had that opportunity taken away from her so unexpectedly. At least her daughter Maya (Rudolph) was able to make a name for herself as a well-respected actress/comedienne. Today, the one artist that DOES remind me of Minnie the most (at least in spirit) is Esperanza Spalding and I'm glad she hasn't let the industry steer her "off course", either!
😌👏
She is greatly missed! Her music is timeless...
-----
Ms. Minnie is one of my favorite singers and "Back Down Memory Lane" 🔥💐💛
I miss her. God bless her family.
Come To My Garden is a true masterpiece!
It’s so true, but it was never popular back in the day, I wonder why!
@beautyRest1 I'm kinda glad it wasn't bc that album is very special 2 me.
It's not a mainstream record 2 me. I can't imagine any song on there being played on the radio, except late night maybe.
I have a couple of friends who remember when and where they were when they heard of her passing, the same way people do about JKF. And we were all adolescents at the time. That’s how much of an impact she had on us, even then.
Minnie Riperton…such a songbird angel, and a woman of character and integrity. With a beautiful marriage💕 and family. I think I’ll play some of music today.🤗
Thank you Minnie 🌹for leaving your talented daughter here to entertain us 👏👏👏 The Beautiful Maya Rudolph🌹
I remember as a teenager, hearing Minnie Rippleton's angelic voice. It was definitely a gift that she freely gave to us. I am also touched by this story, as I lost a daughter to breast cancer over 2 years ago. May your music continue to bring us joy.
Minnie Riperton was a gift to us all that was sent by God. She had a angelic voice, that she would hit a octave range of high notes of 8 or higher. She is truly missed. May she rest in God's loving arms. Thank you Minnie for the your beautiful singing and music. ❤❤❤❤
God bless you, Minnie! RIP
Minnie gave me life in my teenage years. At 17 Reasons was my favorite song off the album as I tried to reach those notes. Shes a legend in my eyes. Continue to RIP ❤
i have Le Fleur on my playlist
My sister took me to see the Gems, at Franklin Park in Chicago in the sixties. I remember her so well. They also made a Xmas song named, "All I Want for Christmas is Your Love." I have most of the albums that you displayed, including the one with her holding the ice cream. She was one of my favorite singers and I was sincerly hurt when she passed, especially, at such a young age.
Oh, so you were able to see her early in her career. I saw her after her big break, and she didn’t disappoint!
She had the voice of an angel, may she rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏
Her voice was absolutely out of this world.. nobody on this earth can sing like that!!!
The lion photoshoot represents Ishtar.
How so?
@@swannoir7949 Ishtar with her lion. Goddess of fertility. Just like madona at the super bowl
Minnie was one of the best. I loved to hear her sing. She left us too soon, what a beautiful voice. That high note I will forever remember. ❤❤
Minnie BELIEVED in herself & knew she had a lot to share with the world. Its interesting 🤔 how she kept it moving, & wouldn't take "no" for an answer -- but moving as if she didn't have alot of time. That's what's interesting, how people are intuitive ( even before her cancer diagnosis) that she HAD to become a star. Which she did, NO ONE can compare, take her crown, come close maybe -- but Still, not good enough. Rest in peace Minnie Julia Riperton may you find the happiness you deserve in your after life. You were the " Perfect Angel", angelic voice while here & you defided the odds by 3 yrs, i believe because you gave of yourself with love to others through speaking about cancer even though you had your own heart breaking situation. GOD Bless you Minnie, you were & STILL are appreciated & Loved. ❤️🔥🌹🕊️🙏💞💔🎶🎶🙏🙏👍🥰
It was a real shock! I was in my late teens. I never forget the breaking news. I was in an upward bound summer program and a group of us were in the dorm tv room when it was announced.😢.
@@alexandradillard2077 Thank you for your reply! Yes it felt strange then & it still does. It doesn't feel fair, but it's so I don't know just strange. Even though she spoke about it, it was a hard pill to swallow when it actually happened. GOD Bless you, take care. 🥰🕊️❤️🔥🌹💞
Love her voice
She is so beautiful and had an everlasting beautiful voice. No one will ever come close to
Her daughter is extremely funny!
What I've noticed about people given a death sentence that people who refuse to let it get to them do or live longer....R.i.p Minnie loved your music
She is an always will be one of the best. Lost her way to soon.
Minnie was Way before Mariah Carey I didn't know nobody could HIT 🎯 THEM HIGH NOTES 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Wpw. The good die young. I wish she would have lived much longer. Minnie Riperton was the Real Deal. May she Rest in Peace.
Wow Maya looks just like momma❤
Keep your eyes and ears peeled in the coming year or so.
I ran into a gentleman at a local (xerox) copy store who's putting together the final bits and pieces of a writing project. Somebody is getting ready to drop a book on what happened to Minnie, Marley, and I also believe at least one other songstress that died way too young and under very mysterious circumstances.
The person that I ran into literally said to me "I'm getting ready to put a book out" He then weng on to say, "I don't understand how come nobody is speaking of Clive's involvement in all of this". Then, when I looked up at him he didn't say anything more and he walked out of the copy store.
Love both her and her daughter!
I always wonder what happened to her
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO ABOUT A BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRING WOMAN! 🎉I'M 61 YRS OLD AND I REMEMBER LISTENING 🎶 TO HER BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND FALLING IN LOVE WITH HER MUSIC. SUCH A ICON.....MAY SHE CONTINUE TO REST PEACEFULLY IN HEAVEN AND HER 2 KIDS AND HUSBAND BE BLESSED ❤❤️🩹❤️🥰

Beautiful mother and daughter,love them both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a beautiful voice and so much determination that she was able to Keep pushing for a better life and career! We love you Minnie Riperton! What an inspiration!
Damn this was good my mother used to love Minnie rippleton back in the days 👍🥁
This is a great documentary of the late Minnie Riperton. Really enjoyed watching this. Keep up the good work.
Glad you enjoyed it!❤️
@@back_to_the_60sYou really did this woman's life and legacy justice. So refreshing to see such a complimentary documentary about a minority music artist keep up the good work.
I hope you do more videos of this type of content.
We'll surely do! Glad you enjoyed it!
Minnie is the G.O.A.T. She was born at the wrong time. The world wasn't ready for all that she is and all that she came with. ❤❤❤❤
Keep Resting Peacefully Precious Ms. Minnie Rippterton❤
Best voice to ever be recorded!💯
I don't like how they have her holding a melting ice cream cone on her album cover like that!
I was a teenager when the album first came out and I also thought it was a little strange letting ice cream drip down her hand, but that could’ve been her idea.
Simply put, the cover suggests that your heart would melt like ice cream once you hear her voice...Or the impish look on her face suggests she's burning up inside and only you can put the fire in her out. Take your pick!
It was definitely inuendo - suggestive of something not so innocent. That was the 70's and how it was done - things were hidden in plain sight. A child could pick the album up and see a lady with an ice cream cone - an adult sees something different. I wish music was like that today; most everything is vulgar and trashy.
Great job 🎉
🎶💯🔥 #MINNIE RIPERTON🙏❤
I always love Minnie Riperton voice. It’s unmatched to this day.🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾
Cancer is so unfair. It's largely a genetic mutation issue, (BRCA mutations are one example) not anything to do with diet or exercise. Breast cancer rates rose from 1 in 41 a few decades ago to 1 in 8 today, so something in the environment is happening--be it chemicals, hormonal meds like oral contraceptives or endocrine disruptors. It's still somewhat rare for women under 40 and especially under 35 to die of it, but much more common than it once was.
What does Minnie deserve? We have Maya. That is our gift!
I love her ❤
On any day, rain, shine, or fog, her voice is a fabulous rainbow ! 🥰
Wow I remember watching her on job man caravan.I thought I was in the 6th grade when she died,1979 I was two years from graduating
I too was 5 and I remember the media saying she had cancer and Don Cornelius did a dedication to her on the show Soul Train 🚂 / and our whole house was sad that day / I still play her CD in the kitchen especially on rainbow and rainy days ( " Give Me Time " ) is my favorite rainy day song when im cooking listening to Stevie on the harmonica and watching the rain 🌧️... Goes All the way back to the 1970...miss you so much Ms.Minnie 🥺
I’m so happy that I had the opportunity to know her music…..I’m sure that when the angels sing in heaven, she’s right there leading Angelic voices!!
Wow... Amazing voice! Just finding out that Maya Rudolph is her daughter.
SO sad 😿 sickness 😞 had to claim her Life Gone TOO SOON 🔜
She died from breast cancer
Rest in peace Minnie ripperton
Personally speaking I don’t believe the industry was ready for her, if you know what I mean
I still listen to this beautiful soul music often, may she continue to rip🕊️🩷🙏🏽
A lot of people still think Celine Dion wrote and sang that song 🤣🤣🤣
Amen🦋😘
Beautiful voice and spirit ❤❤❤❤❤
Did you know that Minnie Riperton 🙏🏼is “was” the mother of Maya Rudolph from Saturday Night Live/SNL.
