You can tell when some people are born with a gift , she was such an original, what a voice talent and beauty, such a classy lady. These are the people we should still be talking about. RIP you soft angel.
God only made one Minnie Ripperton and she is the only one who will ever possess that gift. There are other great singers but do not and will not ever have the same gift.
Such Joy yet such sadness, 1975 her many Performances, she was already sick with cancer, Jan 1976 she had radical surgery, still the disease had already spread throughout her body, she was given 6 months and lived three years six months from that surgery. She loved her Family so much, you hear it in her songs and voice
Minnie was a blessing, a refreshing breath of clean, fresh air, this world lost a beautiful soul, songstress, wife, mother and friend... And we are richer for having her and poorer for losing her! Her daughter Maya has many of the same mannerisms as her Mother. Miss you Minnie....
Yes, when she was little she looked a lot like her Mom. Maya is a nice mixture of her Mom & Dad. She has his nose and color so you can't really see the resemblance to her Mom now that she's an Adult.
GIFTED is the only word to use. Not so much words, becuz it's OBVIOUS that voice is GIFTED from the CREATOR; a heavenly voice. And seemed like a sweet/loving person. FULL POWER OF LOVE: The HUMAN DNA
Sha boing boing, Baby... This is fantastic. LOVE LOVE LOVE Minnie. How awesome that Maya has this record of her Mom calling her name. ~ Althea 17 September 2021
My favorite female singer of all times!! I was 13 when she passed but her music is still heavy on my rotation list of songs. I even named my own daughter Maya.😊 🙏🏽♥️
“He should make a date like all the rest of the cats.”...hilarious! Minnie was sweet! When you hear her sing Maya Maya on Loving You it’s for her daughter. You know her from SNL, right? Wasn’t Sammy Davis Jr. the essence of cool! Hey, he’s gotta sell the wax, man, before she sings another song! Wow these three stars were on the top of their game. All so missed!
In a interview Minnie's husband told the story that she had an 8 octave range.. you can find that interview on ( loving you - minnie riperton - documentary ) at 9:40
Minnie left us too soon, I wonder if she really had it before she gave birth to any of her kids. Its in her jeans, because in 09 she lost one of her older sister name Clarice to breast cancer, just think 30 years after her death. So sad, but I hope and pray that we will continue to find a cure for that deadly disease, cancer is not a joke, it's serious.
Minnie the Magnificent! And that whopper of a kiss she laid on Richard Pryor!! Mariah is good but cannot hold notes as beautifully nor aa effortlessly as has. Minnie
Sammy holding that cigarette in the end, the very thing that took his life through lung and throat cancer. He died 11 years after her death. And Minnie had cancer, too, probably during this episode and may not have known it. So sad.
I'm surprised she could keep a straight face while singing, knowing what she planned to do to Richard Pryor. I don't think I've seen her do any lip syncing, her voice was so rock solid, it was only a small band and sound effects that were needed.
Maybe a vocal expert can answer my question. Knowing what an octave is, does a three octave range mean a singer can sing the complete scale (eight notes) in three different octaves, OR does it just mean he/she could hit one note, three octaves up or down?
Did anyone catch she was calling her daughter's name while she was singing it.... It was basically a lullaby for Maya while she was having sex with her husband Richard
So sad she died so young. Also look to the Lord Jesus and by God's Son stripes we are Healed ISAIAH 53 and 1COR11:23-26 🍞🍷🫒.If I could have taken her place I would so she could live for her kids 🙏

Sammy, Minnie and Richard together here…..three legends who will never be forgotten. I miss the 70s.
You can tell when some people are born with a gift , she was such an original, what a voice talent and beauty, such a classy lady. These are the people we should still be talking about. RIP you soft angel.
that couldn't be said better
God only made one Minnie Ripperton and she is the only one who will ever possess that gift. There are other great singers but do not and will not ever have the same gift.
I love it when Minnie just took that kiss from Richard. LOL
She hit the high notes with such poise and ease... Just beautiful! 👌🌟🎶
Beautiful Minnie with a unique phenomenal and majestic voice. Her trebles are heavenly and stratospheric!
Simply beautiful ❤️
How can she sing like that lying down on a couch 😄😄😄....with her rib cage not as open as if she was standing straight....amazing.
She was definitely underrated and gone to soon. Love you Minnie.

Just TOOK Richard Pryor on down to SUGAH-LAND!!! * screamed laughter !!!!* She was hilarious!!!
Minnie was a blessing, a refreshing breath of clean, fresh air, this world lost a beautiful soul, songstress, wife, mother and friend... And we are richer for having her and poorer for losing her! Her daughter Maya has many of the same mannerisms as her Mother.
Miss you Minnie....
Maya looks just like her mama. I love it.
hmmm that song i used to think "my oh my" now really sounds like "Maya, maya" wonder if she was talking about the lover for her child
@@UFCtrumpsboxing Her child Maya Rudolph. What a precious special song.
@@UFCtrumpsboxing You mean the "love" for her child?
She and her Husband Richard wrote the song.
Yes, when she was little she looked a lot like her Mom. Maya is a nice mixture of her Mom & Dad. She has his nose and color so you can't really see the resemblance to her Mom now that she's an Adult.
Natural Kinky Curly―Marie for real maya looked a lot like minnie from a child till about her late 20s
RIP Sammy, Richard and Minnie. Wow he had great guests the predecessor to Arsenio!
Minnie sings so effortlessly...
We miss your powerful voice #MinnieRiperton🌹🎤🎼

8:29 when richard said " she's so sweet the lion wanna eat her up" he wasnt lying though , she really was sweet
She actually had an 8 octave range.she was being modest. Her husband confirmed this in a interview
Most believe Mariah Carey can go higher.
Minnie Riperton R.I.P was INCREDIBLE.
SAD THAT MINNIE ISN'T HERE NOW STILL SINGING THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG MINNIE YOU ARE LOVED AND DEEPLY MISSED💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
I really like Minnie Riperton and left us all too soon. Loving you is one of the most iconic beautiful song.
Beautiful SongBird.

I love her, too. Death is so cruel but her music will never die as long as ppl keep it alive!!!
Awesome voice : what interpretation with powerful high notes!
My favorite female singer of all times!! I was 13 when she passed but her music is still heavy on my rotation list of songs. I even named my own daughter Maya.😊
🙏🏽♥️
She is one of my favorite singer too I love her so much ✨🥺
Thanks
4:56 *DAMN!!! INCREDIBLE!!* #RIP #PerfectAngel
Beautiful!!
That was probably the highest end note I've heard, out of all of the versions of 'Loving you'
She was a beautiful spirit.
ADVENTURES IN PARADISE WOW LOVE IT

Minnie Riperton was phenomenal. What a voice! She could've been one of the greatest of all time.
No woman one above her to me

A total classic!
conhecia a música por ouvir ..mais não sabia quem cantava .. Minnie uma das melhores cantores voz inconfundível.
Richard was like "What happened?"
Minnie did that
That last note! Wow! 4:56
Unbelievable! Can someone tell me was that last series of notes F Sharp ascended and descended?
Incredible
That's what you call "one across the lips!"
Extraordinaria.
Magical
RIP IN PIERCE MINNIE FROM BRASIL 🙏❤️
hello Kiss you from brazil
In a interview Minnie's husband told the story that she had an 8 octave range.. you can find that interview on ( loving you - minnie riperton - documentary ) at 9:40
Maravillosa!
8:50 Rich knew she was a powerful force especially being sick she held it down
She's singing to her daughter ❤
Yes, Mariah is a great singer, but no one will EVER touch Minnie.
Darn right
Certainly not mariah
Agreed!!
I agree
You got that right. I just said that a few minutes ago. Mariah can't touch Minnie at all 💯
MINNIE IZ A-MAZ-ING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Minnie left us too soon, I wonder if she really had it before she gave birth to any of her kids. Its in her jeans, because in 09 she lost one of her older sister name Clarice to breast cancer, just think 30 years after her death. So sad, but I hope and pray that we will continue to find a cure for that deadly disease, cancer is not a joke, it's serious.
Richard Pryor speechless for the first time every in his life I'm sure. LOL
Minnie the Magnificent! And that whopper of a kiss she laid on Richard Pryor!! Mariah is good but cannot hold notes as beautifully nor aa effortlessly as has. Minnie
LoVvEDd HERr......! OKkaYy......
Mariah who ?
4:49 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 14:27
Sammy holding that cigarette in the end, the very thing that took his life through lung and throat cancer. He died 11 years after her death. And Minnie had cancer, too, probably during this episode and may not have known it. So sad.
Mariah Carey vocals derived from Minnie Riperton (RIH soulful angel)
LOL SHe put a hoodoo on Richard
Richard and Marc could be the man of the house but what about Maya And Mommy😂❤❤🎉😢
Hmm. Never knew the 🦁 she did the photoshoot 📸 with was named "Simba." Wonder if the "Simba" from the 🦁 🤴🏿 was named after him 🤔💭??
I'm surprised she could keep a straight face while singing, knowing what she planned to do to Richard Pryor. I don't think I've seen her do any lip syncing, her voice was so rock solid, it was only a small band and sound effects that were needed.
8:00
11:58
Effortless!!

It means they can sing the complete scale in three different octaves.

Those plants seemed swallow Minnie up.
Did anyone catch she was calling her daughter's name while she was singing it.... It was basically a lullaby for Maya while she was having sex with her husband Richard
14:20

Y did she kiss richard did she like him
Big Foot Dude
