I watched my mom die from cancer almost a year again and I no what Minnie meant when she said she don't wanna go. My mama said the same thing. By God only I'm able.
I was 15 years old when she passed and I remember crying with my neighbors when we got the news. Still so sad that she left so young. 💛
RIP Minnie gone too soon but never forgotten she was only 31 when she died it’s hard to believe 44yrs have passed since she left us she was amazing🙏🏽
🥰🙌🏾👑💯
Paul Winfield Or Della Reese Next
RIP
❤
Back down memories... laying the history for the future artists... Minnie Ripperton ♥️✔️🎶💥
Minnie Riperton's Lovin You is a timeless classic song
Big ups Celebrity Underrated....Minnie Ripperton. Her beautiful voice and God given talent. I've been waiting for her story to be told right. Beautiful heart and soul. She was blessed with a beautiful and talented daughter as well. Let's not forget her God daughter Teena Marie. May they keep flying with the angels. Much respect
Minnie rippeerton and Mariah carey sing like angels when they hit those High notes.
I did not know she was her God daughter 😀😘
Yes Minnie the voice the legend the goat her voice was a gift from god that octave was sublime. Your flowers legend 🌹🪻🌸🌷🌻🌼💐💐🌹🌼🪻🌻🌸🌷🌺
Minnie is by far my favorite female vocalist. I was 10 when she passed and I remember hearing she passed on the radio station while living in Los Angeles. I cried like she was family
Omg me too😭😭😢
ME 2😢
me too
Me too
Very humble Unique Voice Loved Her Music and Personality yes gone too Soon
Whitney had the ability to go higher, she had a whistle register but never used it. Minnie was a genius! I adored her and was devastated when she passed. I was 4 and a half and I will always remember the Minnie Riperton tribute on Soul Train.
Whitney never a had a whistle register. .. sit tf down
@@BABUROBINSON Im still standing
@@HaliB75 🤣😂
Deniece Williams has a 5 octave also. Deniece had been singing back up for Stevie Wonder for a number of years. I've always believed that's why she didn't get the credit Minnie did. "Back Down Memory Lane" is my favorite song of hers. When she sung that note, "I don't wanna go," it gave me chills as a child. When I got older, I found out that she knew she was dying and that's what she was singing about. One of my sisters used to sing that all of time when I was little. She could hit that 5 octave throat whistle too. One of my favorite album covers of all time is the "Perfect Angel" cover. Thanks for this upload. You brought back some fond memories for me.
Thanks for sharing❤
Yes I agree with your comment she was singing about her life and she put everything into that verse.
So sad😢.
Wonderlove was Stevie's treasure trove of talented female background singers throughout the years (Angela Winbush, Maysa, etc.)
Curious...was Deniece the start to that?
Love me some Niecy❤❤❤❤Black 🦋
@@TheRetroWoman80 I believe she was. Her and one of the later Supreme's singers. Susaye was her name I believe.
Minnie Riperton's songs are and will always be timeless
I love her song 'Reasons' - that i still listen to presently. I love her voice but only in that song but in Stevie Wonders song 'Ordinary Pain', Minnie sang background vocals.
“EPIC” ❤❤❤❤❤
Still cant hear Memory Lane without getting that sad feeling ...I remember her from back in the early 70s...Beautiful voice and personality.
I love me some Minnie . She was definitely one of a kind ❤️
I Agree 💯
Me too!❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🖤🤍
@@cherylwallace2490 🤗
One of my all time favorites.
You are a DAMN good story teller, she story brought tears to my eyes.
She was such a gem..beautiful beautiful voice
💯💯🙌🏾🥰👑
If I’m not mistaken,didn’t A tribe called Quest sampled on of her songs???
@@jeanemlicaryep
This story makes me cry everytime it makes me think of my mama taking chemo she was only 33 when she passed I was 12 years old then then turned around my father had to take it as well
😥😥💔💔🙏🏾🙏🏾😇😇
Woooow.... I am so sorry that u had 2 endure such a trial @ such a young age.
Many Blessings 2 u & ur Fam !!!🙏
You said a official documentary needs to be made... There has been... You just made it... Been a day one fan and I will remain a fan.. There was no one like the late great Minnie... She influenced so many and she still is to this day... Continue to rest in peace ❤❤❤
Yes Minne Ripplton is a legend ❤
That's a Understatement 💯💯
Yes she was
She was my favorite! ❤❤❤ Her voice was so beautiful!
Sooooo... she's not ur Fav Artist anymore?!?
Rest in peace Minnie riperton
The way she sang at the end of 'Back Down Memory Lane' "I don't want to go, save me, save me" breaks my heart thinking it was a plea for her life.
💔💔💔💔💔
I love Minnie Riperton. How sad it was when she died. I still feel sad whenever I see any clips of her and how she died so young. Minnie Riperton was a vocal beast and a class act. Although Minnie Riperton was supposed to be a 5 Octave singer when she sang live she could go to 8 octaves, I heard her live many times, what a gifted woman. Rip Minnie Riperton...
Finally her story in full detail ❤
Facts I didn’t know she passed away
Many people have been able to reach the whistle register but not everyone can sing actual words at that pitch. Minnie could and it was so effortless and natural to her. She was a special talent. May she continue to Rest In Peace.
No Shade to Mariah Carey, but the credit for the most powerful voice that reached a milestone was no other than Minnie Ripperton. R.I.P to the legendary most powerful artist with a voice that should have recieved the highest achievement in every music category that ever existed. ❤❤❤❤
Am so glad that her work of art is known as a treasure now. They really don't consider singers hit makers unless they cross-over. Minnie Riperton...you could never put her in a category. Love all her music. My favorite is Come To My Garden 💗💗💗🌹🌺🌼🐦🦜🐤. She definitely was an Angel. Not only vocally, but her mere presence and her eyes showed such a joy and delicacy. May she Rest in Peace 🕊️.
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
One of my favorite songs is her duet with Peabo Bryson " Here We Go."" Her lyrics, the instruments & arraignment blended so perfectly, it's a beautiful song, it's underrated & timeless! I read that her husband was mentioned as the songwriter. Her voice was a gift🙏🏾❤. Thanks for presenting her story.
Yes that is one of my favorites songs as well.
I love that song too. I thought their voices blended so well together
I forgot about that one. Thank you. 😲😊💛
God Is healing you !
Sweet Minnie, she was known as an Earth Mother..a loving peaceful soul❤
OMGoodness! I have been waiting for someone to do a video on Minnie. This women was one of my favorite singers and Mariah has nothing on her!!!
Years ago unsung did a beautiful documentary on her. I watched it so many times.
Unsung has a episode on Minnie.
PLLLLLZZZ... Say it again ?!?
Mariah dies not come anywhere close 2 Minnie, However.... Ms. Chante Moore comes very close.
UHHKAY !!!

Mary Wilson
Aaliyah
Vesta
Billie Holiday
Betty Davis
Natalie Cole
Bessie Smith
Nina Simone
Diahann Carroll
Joanne Borgella
Simone Battle
Betty Wright
Such an angelic voice she was gifted with. So young but immortalized by the legendary music she left behind. May she be at peace.
Amen
Love love love Minnie Riperton,thank you for telling her story,
❤❤❤she was never underrated
Never!!!
That's just what he named the channel...he has covered many artists that Not so called "Underrated" His channel covers the deaths of artists in many genres
Never!!! Just died before her time.
One of the greatest vocalists!
She didn't get the proper recognition while she was alive i hate that .... because she was a wonderful amazing talent
I used to listen to Minnie's music growing up but I didn't know all this amazing information about her life. Wow.....and she was so so so beautiful. Rest In Peace Minnie
Chante moore definitely got it she's a beast with that whistle register
Inside My Love is a classic song!! Minnie Riperton did her thing on the song!!! It is timeless!!!!
Yes🥰🙌🏾👑💯
Yes! And Baby This Love I Have❤ Open her mouth and Angels came out!!
I concur
I love Minnie this was a phenomenal video❤ RIP Minnie
I saw an interview where Maya said she was "acting up" or something like that, in the studio while Minnie was recording "Lovin You" and at the end of the song (I had to go back and listen to the song once she said this 😊) she sang "Maya, Maya, Maya, Maya, la la la la la la la. (Y'all know how it goes! 😂😂 and they just ended up keeping her singing her name in the song. RIP Mrs. Riperton-Rudolph❤
So cute 😂
The queen and originator of those whistle notes, good Ariana Grande, Mariah Carey, Chanté Moore and many others can hit those notes, but Minnie DEFINITELY set the foundation for the high notes, she was a true artist that will never be forgotten
Yes!!!!!
I was introduced to Minnie Riperton’s music when I was 15 (1995)My uncle bought me a radio for Christmas and I used to play WDAS. They played old school music. The first song I heard from her was Loving You. They used to play Back Down Memory Lane a lot. . Inside My Love is a beautiful song❤ I fell in love with with her voice. When you’re 15 the age 31 sounds old. But now that I am 44. Her passing away at 31 is sooo young and crazy to me. She passed away they day after I was born. I was born July 11,1979. Thankyou for telling her story❤. She’s a Angel. May She Rest Well 🕊️
I have all 5 of her albums. She and Natalie Cole were my favorites. I will never forget July 12. The only time I cried for any celebries were for these two. Loved them both and followed their careers. Heavenly peace ladies.
Sooooo.... ur not a fan anymore ??
Bc, u spoke in past tense as if ur not a fan anymore.
CU must have heard me listening to Inside My Love! I can't listen to Memory Lane without getting tears in my eyes. Minnie's voice is mesmerizing! ❤
So good!
We need a movie about Minnie Riperton 🎶🐦💝🙏🏽💖🌟🌹
Inside my Love is my fav by her 🤗
Inside My Love is a great peaceful classic track. A lot of people see it as a sexual song, as the 70s brought forth the sexual revolution.
It was so much deeper than that. People are so shortsighted.
Memory lane is my all-time mini Rippleton favorite song of hers it sounds like she’s crying out
Wow this is one of these stories i was waiting for... The song she did will always be a all time classic.....may she rest in peace
Which one
@@crishnaholmes7730 the one is called loving you
@@tayronforbes2371 ok

I would have been here as soon as you dropped this, but my shorty had me on FaceTime. I told her I had to go to the bathroom 😂... I'm here now lol.... Minnie was just an all around fine woman ❤❤❤❤❤
💯
Minnie was so talented. No one could could hit those high notes like Minnie Ripperton. RIP.
I loved this story. Every time I come across her videos I can’t help but cry. She was so young and talented and just gone way too soon 😢
Her daughter Maya Rudolph is so funny her Kamala Harris will leave you on the floor laughing 😂😂
Yes
Omgeeeee yes!! 😂😂
So tragic! I have stage 4 breast cancer and God will see me through this! Minnie is a legend! 💗
🙏🏾❤️
@@toombs6287 Thank you!
I pray that God heals you from breast cancer 🙏🏽🩷❤️ All love and prayers sent to you from me.
@@badguy565 Thank you, I really appreciate it! 👋🏽🕊️
Prayers
Minnie Ripperton was a beautiful soul. Definitely an angel. RIP😇🙏🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐💐❤❤❤
I remember Minnie Riperton Rudolph very well she was a great singer i was 14 years old when she died. I seen her appearance on Soul train and American bandstand it was very sad that she was so sick. My mother died of mestatic breast cancer in 1997, she loved minne riperton also. When minne would sing her voice was so angelic on unsung what really touched my heart is that her husband still cries about how much he misses and love her and never remarried.
That voice of hers, that's how I will remember Minnie. Loving You has always been a favorite of mine. Just wish she was here now to sing more and see her daughter Maya be the sensation that she is now.
Minnie Ripeton is a beautiful soul with an angelic voice.❤💐🌠
RIP Minnie Riperton!!! 🕊🕊🕊 Congrats on the interview my brotha!!! 👑👑👑💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Which interview
I loved it whenever Minnie came on the radio in the early 70s, Had to buy her albums. I had a very definitive collection of her music on casette tapes. I especially loved her "Perfect Angel" album...and especially her underrated hit, "Lovin You"! I played that song endlessly...until I got into other genres of music, like smooth jazz and the like...but I felt very sorry the day she died in 1979. I was so numb that I had to play "Lovin You" so many timews to console myself. All I can say now today is that I her "Perfect Angel" CD and I played it for my daughter until she was 7 years old. God bless her soul, I loved her high octave range and such a beautiful voice....so gifted. She blessed us all...her upbringing and all...plus also giving us her equally talented daughter, Maya Rudolph. God bless her. I loved Minnie...keep singing and soar with the angels in praise! Thank you for your voice and talent, Minnie...I'll see you in heaven soon.
I have always Been fascinated with Minnie ripperton since I was 7 years old back in late 70s. I used to watch Her perform live. And what captivated me was the live orchestra behind her, it was so. Theatrical to me, I studied her rifts from Front to back top to bottom. As a young adult, 1990 I ended up moving on Jasmine street. When they are ran into a young girl by the name of Carla. I mean, Carla became very good friends. We decided to start a singing group together called Kayla. I met Carla and her aunt at the corner store. Her aunt name was Sandra Ripperton She started talking to me and I told her that I sang her voice had a distinct tone to it and I said. Hey, wait a minute, are you related to Minnie ripperton? That's when she said yes, that's my Sister, so we all left the store and walked back to sandra's apartment, she had a huge lifesize picture of Minnie ripperton and a bunch of l Memorabilia I was also able to Meet marcus Minnie' Rippertons son beautiful family
“Come Inside Me”, my favorite.
I ❤ Minnie Riperton i was anwsering the phones @ a Church Rectory after school my 1st job ever i was in the 9th grade then it came across the radio Minnie died i cried so much i remember staying up late on a Saturday nite watching Wolfman Jack on tv she came on singing "Loving You" i was instantly captivated and mesmerized with her range and whistle notes Rest in Paradise Songbird Ms. Minnie Riperton 🎶
Thank you for sharing “The Beautiful Song 🎶 Bird “ Minnie Riperton ❤ her voice ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 gone too soon it was a sad day😢RIP
Minnie was truly beautiful inside and out and was very talented. There will never be another voice like hers RIP to the Queen of the Whistle Register 🙏🏽❤️✝️
My very favorite singer in the world this lady is phenomenal just because she didn't sing straight r&B she didn't get the success she deserved. Her music talent went above people's musical head😮
Come to my garden was a masterpiece
I attended her funeral at the Westwood mortuary in Westwood, CA. Continue to rest peacefully angel❤❤❤
Woww I was just looking at videos on Miss Minnie and cried about her story, she was so strong🙏🏾...My Mom just found out she have breast cancer and I'm so scared and don't know what to do😔 now I'm crying again while writing this..I just don't know
Remain prayerful 🙏🏽 God is an awesome God

@magathaebai7114 thank you😘
Hope she gets better
Minnie Riperton has a beautiful voice. She has a voice like a bird.
Her song, Lovin You was written in Gainesville Florida, where i use to live. Its a beautiful classy song. R.i.p Minnie.❤
I enjoyed my time living in Gainesville
Yessir!!! Definitely needed something to watch lol love your content & story telling brother ❤
Appreciate it!!
I was about 5 yrs old when Minnie passed, my mother was depressed for months. It was the first time I learned about death. My mother also took it hard when Marvin Gaye passed also. Good job on the Minnie's story, I always wanted to know some solid details about her but I never researched because it felt strange, I always knew what she passed from, she was so unique with her voice and sad songs I felt creepy and It made my mother sad. Minnie's story was sadder than I thought especially because we lived growing up about 35 minutes from her when she lived in Gainesville FL never knew that wow. Great Job!!
As tough as it was to watch this video, it was something I had to do. Rest in peace.
My first memory of her was “Loving You.” I was about 11 years old.
The first tears I remember crying during a song was this!
Her voice broke me..
it tore me up!
How could anyone have a voice so sweet?
I loved her so much.
Just think what masterpieces we were robbed of by her passing.
Always loving you, Miss Minnie❤❤😢😢
The incomparable, unsurpassable Angel of Soul ❤
Bro. Your channel is swelling. More than 2.6K within 2 hours. Keep putting in the work bro.
I remember reading about her death in Jet as a young girl, and I cried as if she were family to me. It hurt then and now. RIL BEAUTIFUL SONGSTRESS.❤
Aww man, this is about to be great! ❤
Hope you enjoy it!
Ty for doing the Perfect Angel, Minnie Riperton story. I love her voice & still listen to her songs today, presently.
I hope you do more stories on Andre Harrell, Ron Lester, Lisa Robin Kelly, Beah Richards, Armand Jones, Shawty Lo, Dolla, Hurricane G, Tame One of the Artifacts, Huey, Lawanda Page, etc.
That was beautifully said. So was she.

Exactly!!
I agree! People had no clue that Minnie Riperton was Maya Rudolph's mother.
