      Yeah. Same when she sings, so sincere, diction so good, phrasing--wow if you have not heard, check out "if I ever lose this heaven" with her poor little arm not moving, how unreal her performance is. I heard by the way, that it was her husband who got to her first and the trainer was at the back of the room. I now it sounds thin--but that is what love is, while the trainer put down his coffee, her husband was there right now. Sweet, sweet woman.

      Thank you Ray and the same to you also as well as a happy New Year. Did you know that, had she been spared, Minnie would have been 70 years old in 2017? How wonderful it would have been to hear her beautiful voice throughout all the years but it was not to be. I can still clearly remember the day that I heard that she had passed away and although I was only 11 years old at the time it made a big impression on me. Here in the UK I don't think it was very widely known that she was even ill. Since then I have enjoyed discovering Minnie's music and now that we have the internet we can see these interviews and learn a little of the type of person that she was. Even her speaking voice is beautiful as well.

      You are right I think "Inside My Love" is gorgeous. More people should know it. In addition "Les Fleurs" is absolutely joyous and "Memory Lane" is heart breaking, especially when one knows the circumstances in which it was written and recorded. Such emotion, how can anyone not be moved by it? No doubt about it, Minnie was (and is) a Perfect Angel.

Mariah has that dream. Love her or hate he, she has the right to be an icon. Don't be mad cause she aint flippin burgers. Let it go people.

    A live version of loving you, is on here. She puts Maya's name in near the end. But she looks like its completely effertless to just put that whistletone in the song. And in that version she does it more than the record. I'm nearly 60 and remember so well. In my lifetime I have never seen or heard anyone compare to the ease which she does this. But her singing, voice, overall was fantastic. A shame she passed so young. And her daughter didn't get to show her own talent to her mom.

    Every woman raves about Beyonce and Rhianna, etc. Their generation has no real conception of the classy, refined, much more likeable in my opinion and of course natural singers that came before them. Maybe this is why I have become so sentimental for the 70s, because today just seems so much more artificial. Listen to this talk show conversation! So much more natural sounding, unedited, back and forth. Just like the old Johnny Carson's. Talk shows today are unwatchable. Every guest is scripted and comes off as a bore!

    Minnie was so beautiful and pretty
    Then when SNL came then comes her daughter Maya.
    I wasn't born yet when Minnie died from cancer but her music lives on back down memory lane.

    She was nervous. When you see the film. Before she sat down she paused and looked at him. He picked up on that vibe. People just will never learn to leave animals alone.

    Everybody keeps talking about how beautiful and classy she was (which she was), meanwhile I'm just completely shocked by that lion story lol
