Minnie died just a few weeks before Maya turned 7 and left her younger son as well. Such a beautiful woman, mother and singer left this life way too soon. R.I.P, beautiful soul.
It's so unfair that Minnie's life was cut short at age 31. Aside of the great talent and beautiful voice....Minnie was also a beautiful human being that meant so much to her family and many others. RIP Minnie!
Like when I have children of my own my dad won't be there to meet them to get to hold his grandchildren 😢 it's hard for me that he's not on earth that he won't be able to walk me down when I get married
I cry every time I see this episode because my mother battled cancer and thank God my mother survived! I guess it is just a sensitive subject and how Minnie reminds me of my mom and how I would pray every night that she survives because I want my children to able to know her and not just hear stories about her like I did wit my grandmother (my Mom's Mom)
Pearl looks like Minnie!...What does Minnie do in heaven? Dreams of her husband, her daughter, holding them close, singing love songs, walking with Maya through golden meadows, being with her beloved husband and feeling the strength of his body, feeling the love they had for each other...that's what I think.
I think if Minnie hadn't passed away from breast cancer Richard would probably still be married to her he's definitely a serial monogamist and his second wife is a jazz singer LOL. But Minnie was the great love of his life.
Loving you is the most beautiful song ever written and sang. Every time I hear it, it takes me back to April 75 when the Sun was unusually hot here in the UK and we have just had a mini heatwave last week and the song came on turning Spring time into Summer. Most of my mates don't like that song they say it's depressing, I disagree it's a magical song and they have no taste in music. The only thing that is sad is that Minnie left us 4 years later, I play her song a lot
Your mates are wrong, Paul, I agree with you. "Loving You" is a legendary song sung by a renowned singer, Minnie Riperton. It's just so sad that it's almost impossible for most people to sing because of those F Sharp descending whistle notes. Although I must say, your UK young singer Ella Henderson did a great job with it on BGT a few years back. Love her voice!
I want to thank you for your beautiful mom she's the reason why I got involved with singing in 1979 at the age of 10 Her music lives on but I want to thank you for sharing her with us
Makes me think of my family. My grandma and grandpa died and my sister was too young to remember them. The only thing she remembers is her grandmothers funeral and that's heartbreaking to my parents. But, you have to tell them about how they were when they were alive. It's the right thing to do.
Wow! little La La! That's what I think of when I hear Loving you and hear Minnie say that's her daughter in background she wants to sing. Maya is a wonderful actress. I would have never associated the two as being related. It is always amusing to think aw whom ever is related.
Catherine didn't get the name wrong... the idiot who runs this (iLoveOSmusic) page got it horribly wrong... don't shoot the messenger! #MinnieWasLikeFineWineNotRipple
I have fallen and i can't reach my keg because it’s not that serious. It’s not bringing her back to her family (talking about her real family-not her worshippers)
Maya was a little entertainer when she was little. That was Minnie she was signing too at the age of 2 or 3 holding that mic and shaking her little head. You can see Minnie's hair as she was watching her baby entertain her.
Maya I wonder how much you sing like in the house , being normal. Wow🤯 your kids must be blessed , I know you sing your mother there like she probably sang to you .... blessings.
Until this day I never knew Maya was her daughter I'm 62 and lived through Minnie's music...you can see where Maya gets her uniqueness from.!! Both " Beautiful " women.
Thank God I'm not the only white guy here who loved Minnie Riperton. I'm almost your age, and I've known Maya was her daughter ever since she joined the cast of SNL. Every time I watch Maya perform, it's with a mixture of pride and pain -- wishing her sweet mother was here to see her daughter's success.
@@markmh835 ...I simply can't believe her mother could reach such octaves with her voice....and both Minnie and her daughter seem like sweethearts..... So much talent and she passed so young.
Very sad. Today we are much better at treating late stage breast cancer. If only we had these therapies back then, she might’ve had many more quality years with her family.
Alright look. It's July 2023 and I should already know this. I'm 57 and listened to Loving You by Minnie more times than I can count. But you know what, seeing Maya in her comedic skits always made me feel like she was connected to someone. Already loved Maya but I love her even more now. Your mom would be so proud.
SAVE ME always rings out loudly to me back down memory lane is one of my favorite songs by Minnie, I would always think of Minnie's children when I hear that song !
"That’s my little girl screamin’ in the background. She wants to sing”
She loved her baby’s
Yes...adored and loved...what child or indeed parent could ask for more...
Babies* 😑
@@Vindsvelle shut up you know exactly what I said
I can't look at Maya without laughing because she's so funny. Didn't know she's Minie's daughter. That explains her good voice ability.
Did not know!! Bless the bloodlines.
Maya looks more like her father, but you can tell she's her daughter. Maya's brother Mark looks so much like Minnie.
Minnie died just a few weeks before Maya turned 7 and left her younger son as well. Such a beautiful woman, mother and singer left this life way too soon.
R.I.P, beautiful soul.
You can tell Minnie’s husband loved her just in the way he says ‘our granddaughters’
He still loves her.
@@cmarie6157just because he remarried doesn’t mean he ever stopped loving his late wife. Just had to move on, especially raising 2 kids
You can tell this is a sensitive subject for her. I cried just by watching this little part.
It's so unfair that Minnie's life was cut short at age 31. Aside of the great talent and beautiful voice....Minnie was also a beautiful human being that meant so much to her family and many others. RIP Minnie!
"That's my little girl screaming in the backround, she wants to sing" OH MY GOD I WANNA CRYYYY 😭😭😭
daydream is my fav mariah album
@@dknsm5678 PERIODDD LAMBY 🙈
Maya can sing; she is in a different range than her mom. Maya is a beautiful person in her own right!
Maya's mama sang like an angel while she was on earth. She's definitely singing in heaven. 💕
One of the hardest parts of being a motherless daughter is having children and they never get to know grandmother , or of course grandfather
I'm so sorry
janiceinfusino8, Richard Rudolph is still very much alive.
Like when I have children of my own my dad won't be there to meet them to get to hold his grandchildren 😢 it's hard for me that he's not on earth that he won't be able to walk me down when I get married
Yea…
@@emmamcraven_2005
Awe, so heartfelt I'm so sorry
S*** Didn't expect to bust out crying. What a cool mom/daughter bond. Timeless.
Absentee Childhood I shed a tear, also. Can't believe that Minnie was only 32 years old when she died. Life sucks sometimes.
Maya oh maya is minnie's song to her.last album.will never forget the day she passed. Her and Denise Williams both had vocal range out of this world.💝
Deniece williams is still alive though....
She still remembers her mother. That's LOVE
Heaven is enriched by Minnie's singing.
Heartbreaking that shes not here to see her daughters career go from strength to strength but more importantly see her grandkids…she'd be so proud
"What does she do there?". "She sings." :-( :-)
Sweet :-)
Most definitely
Touched my heart deeply.
That part was so sweet. Simple yet profound.
Obviously her mother would be so proud of her daughter!!!!!

same...whoooa
The 4th Horseman me neither

Yeah I didn't know either! It's amazing. I knew she was in Saturday Night Live.

Maya is one of my favorite SNL alumni, I just love her. She makes me laugh and smile every single time.
She does sing in heaven.
How beautiful Maya. Thank you with all of my heart for letting us in to your story- it’s as beautiful and long lasting as a song
Maya is a wonderful comedic talent, Her mother made my college years beautiful
Mya is so beautiful , just like her mother. So sad how she passed such a beautiful voice and soul
Maya

He didn't remarry until approximately 25 years after Minnie's death. Minnie was definitely the love of his life.
@@vanessa4u4evr Awwww see, that's true love. 💞
How da phuc do you know what that.
@@mcdonoghrahloh459 how da phuc do I not huh? Sarcastic asshole. 🖕
Definitely Minnie is singing in heaven
Minnie Riperton's voice is the most beautiful color ever existed on earth
0:26 I'm gonna cry that was the cutest thing I've seen this year😭
Minnie reminds me so much of my Mommy! My Mom passed away from cancer as well!
Oh I'm so sorry for your loss! But how nice to be able to associate your sweet mother with the great Minnie Riperton. Precious memories!

I love how she gave two of her kids her mom's name as a first name and middle name
Staci Bonnes Pearl Minnie Anderson ,Minnie Ida Anderson
Interesting. Everything I've seen or read about her kids, none of them mention Minnie as a name. Oh well, my mistake.
Staci Bonnes Its fine:)
Yesss omg
So sweet and thoughtful
Wow! little La La! That's what I think of when I hear Loving you and hear Minnie say that's her daughter in background she wants to sing. Maya is a wonderful actress. I would have never associated the two as being related. It is always amusing to think aw whom ever is related.
when she said "they would really like each other" i dont know why it brought me to tears
the surname is Riperton..... not Rippleton. Just FYI.... respect the talent; respect the name.
+Catherine Allen how u gone get that name wrong? smh...
Catherine Allen exactly, some respek cuh
Catherine didn't get the name wrong... the idiot who runs this (iLoveOSmusic) page got it horribly wrong... don't shoot the messenger! #MinnieWasLikeFineWineNotRipple
Has not been corrected, as of yet, believe it..... or not. Maybe, next year.... Might as well be "Ripley".
I have fallen and i can't reach my keg because it’s not that serious. It’s not bringing her back to her family (talking about her real family-not her worshippers)
So sweet an true. shes still singing sweet lady
This is sad as well as beautiful; this lady is ensuring her amazing mum is remembered
She is so her twin, happy that God and life allowed her to pursue a career in entertainment
I didn't know Maya was her daughter! She's so cute when she was little 💖💖💖
Maya was a little entertainer when she was little. That was Minnie she was signing too at the age of 2 or 3 holding that mic and shaking her little head. You can see Minnie's hair as she was watching her baby entertain her.
I did not know that Minnie was Mya's mother.
Its Maya
Purple Capricorn me either
Neither did I
Oprah is a Color Purple Aquarius, which follows Capricorn, Zodiacally speaking.
To be honest I always thought the other Mya was her daughter.
awwww. may god bless their family and family legacy.
Maya I wonder how much you sing like in the house , being normal. Wow🤯 your kids must be blessed , I know you sing your mother there like she probably sang to you .... blessings.
did anyone else begin to weep after this? asking for a friend👀😭
yes i knew that was Minnie’s daughter way back in the 70’s.....She is truly missed!
No!
Yep
I want to watch the whole documentary if I can find it.
That's called Love. True Love. I'm geatefull for watching this beautiful video. Maya allways make me smile. Today make me Wonder about beauty of Love.
Minnie one of the greatest ever to do it!
OMG..THIS IS SOO HEARTBREAKING..
She can sing too just like her mama. Don’t let her comedic talents fool ya.
She sings in God's chorus 🙌🏾
I just found this out! Crazy..
