Who ever said she was a one hit wonder is seriously smoking powerful crack. Minnie has a lot of hits. She died relatively young and would have been a very powerful to reckon with had she lived. She's had such a huge huge impact on hip hop culture. 9th Wonder, A Tribe Called Quest, etc. Today's R&B have no soul whatsoever. This is a true artists in its purest form.
No - Deniece Williams sang it. Niecy sang with Minnie in Wonderlove (and did back-ups on 'Everytime He Comes Around'). The song you want is called 'Free' :) Mx
i have all of minnie music, this is one of the best, sound so sweet & so perfect. just like she was & will alway's be to me.minnie when i close my eyes i will alwats remember u for ever, i love u lady, now & always, r.i.p. our perfect angel. 12-11-09. from your no.1 fan,
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No offense to Ms. Riperton, but I prefer the instrumental version with the heavier bass beat. The intentionally-sung-off-beat lyrics sort of take away from the music's natural rhythm.
i love this song....it's probably my favorite Minnie Riperton song of all time so i gotta give props to 9th for re-introducing us to this classic, but more props to Minnie for that angelic voice
July 12th, 2009 is the 30th anniversary since Minnie Riperton's passing. Please, Minnie lovers, may I suggest you all "Take a little trip" - "Close your eyes and remember" our Beloved "Perfect Angel" :)
Another Minnie masterpiece. The entire album was a treasure. Maybe with the recent "UnSung" doc on her life, maybe this gem will finally meet a new audience. I sure hope so...Minnie deserves it.
Close your eyes listen and feel the poetry .After u open the eyes just keep remember and feel the great voice that she ....... Just remember and recognice.
If you were to take "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," and replace Gene Wilder with Minnie Ripperton, you got "Come to My Garden." which reminds me, how awesome would it have been if she did a cover of Pure Imagination?
She's known as a 1 hit wonder....which she is not....I don't think people who are in the top 10 & top 5 are one hit wonders,Vh1 stereotyped her on their show 1 Hit Wonders because of her having only "1" number "1" POP record,her songs like "Inside My Love" wen't to #5 in the adult Contemp "Memory Lane" if im not mistaken went to number 14,and so on and so forth....I hate when people give the wrong information ...this lady is an R&B Legend....PERIOD
You are totally right, but everyone is not going to know everything about a particular artist. I have a great music collection that consists of 15 genres of music, yet I don't know everything about every artist. But I know one thing; Minnie's music is a peaceful stream in my life that is a tyfoon out of control. I sometimes can't listen to her music because it reminds me of an old girlfriend. Love lives forever. R.I.P. Songbird.
you're right....and i hate to say it, but the people that run the billboard charts and all these records don't recognize the black charts....if it didn't go pop then it was largely ignored by the (forgive me) white people....and that's just being honest
Market forces always focus on select product to push. Remember, its the artists that went BIG back than that enabled artists like Minnie to stay on labels without selling platinum. Not every record that comes out can be a hit because most people are not obsessive music nerds like myself (and perhaps yourself, too :)
Hey Mr musikRnb. It would be really great if there could be a massive tribute concert organised for Minnie fans next year, the 30th anniversary of her passing. would be great if her family would be involved in such a thing. I'd travel from UK to USA for that most definitely!!
minnie was such a great singer her music is so relaxing.man she could hit those high notes.i like all her music my favorite is loving you. rip minnie.
There needs to be a musical variety show or documentary about Minnie. It should be told from a chronological point-of-view showcasing Minnie's shortened career and breaking down all of her songs from the perspective of those that were part of her life, were influenced by her and that worked with her.
This song and title could be the name of or part of the documentary or show title.
"shorty on the lookout"?! Man are you sure this is the original sample to that? I know it's for his "Close Your Eyes" beat but I don't think it's for the shorty on the lookout beat.
I LOVE this song...That Charles Stephney was such a genius. this is the first time I've heard Minnie's version...but I've heard Ramsey lewis do about two or three versions *including the one on Urban Knights 6*
some people say Dionne Warwicks lp Valley Of The Dolls Lp Top the Charts But Im up set over the years in the 20th Century certain artists end up in charts and those dont Like Minnie. The Delfonics/ Little Anthony/ Besides Dionne They have the same Burt Sound
Listen to that....complete sophistication and class at its highest rate.... listen to the dramatic climax at the end.....those notes are incredible with the orchestra backing her ...... i wish i could see minnie perform LIVE....I wish she was still here.....her voice is a treasure
a-muse, memory band and alone in brewster bay would be my favs, but there are so many good ones. so much emotion from one of the most underrated artists ever.
She died in while listening to a song written for her by Stevie Wonder. I would love to hear that song. She touched so many hearts with the way she styled her tunes and the way she chose those special songs about relationship and devotion.
after this album she gave up on music and became a housewife in North Florida. Stevie heard her stuff and needed a backup singer and asked her to audition. A few weeks later he had her on stage. I love that story because it showed her attitude towards life. She occupied til fame came back to her. Fame is fleeting but love lasts forever. Minnie was more than most folks knew. Who would think to name their publishing after their kids (Marcandmaya prods.)
Not quite. It was after the 1971 The New Rotary Connection album that she left the biz & moved 2 Gainsville, Florida. She didn't have 2 audition 4 Wonderlove, Stevie found her 2 be a perfect fit.
Thank u. I'm probably her biggest. Many love her for her whistle reg. I love her 4 her boldness & talent. She wrote amazing songs. She was highly slept on & underrated. Epic knew they had a gem, but as with most businesses, they saw her cancer as stick in the mud. ;0(
I like her because she was the only one from Wonderlove who got on her feet and remained friends with Stevie. She did her own thing yet did it without burning bridges. She was one of the first celebs who gave attention to mamograms and self examination for women of their breasts. She was in an interracial marriage yet didn't exploit it. She had her priorities straight. She made many cameo's on many other people's albums. You can hear her clearly on Stevie's amazing song, "Creepin'". She was good
You can also hear her on Leon Ware's "Instant Love" & "Comfort (AKA Come Live With Me, Angel). I love the fact that she was true 2 herself & didn't back down 4 what she believed in. Musically, she was underrated. She did what many singers struggled 2 do, which was evoke the emotions of her songs thru voice. She wasn't limited 2 just R&B.
Kevin...she was a bad sister! Quincy Jones did a great job pairing her vocals with Leon Ware and Al Jarreau on If I Ever Lose This Heaven. A Classic song in every way!
The only mistake she and her husband Richard made was to follow up her hit album with Adventures In Paradise. They release the first single "Inside My Love" which had too many sexual inferences for those times. They should have released, "Brewster Bay" instead or have a tune produced by Stevie who was the hit maker of those days.Anyways, fame is fleeting, but love lasts forever!
This album helped me make it through highschool, my first real heartbreak and I would lose myself in her voice. I know every lyric, mood, and right now I am home. I LOVE this album. Thank You!!
This is one of my top ten favorite albums in the world. I actually play it just about every night as I go tp sleep. I find it to be very soothing after a long day at work.
Just purchased the "Come To My Garden" album. Was previously only aware of Minnie through the Rotary Connection albums. But this solo collection of songs is pure serenity. Really amazing.
The 'Come To My Garden' is by far Minnie's most beautiful album. Her voice is almost perfect, recording the album in only 3 days. The album is 100% quality & out of this world. My favorite tracks r 'Only When I'm Dreaming,' 'Wherever We R,' 'Expecting,' & Come 2 My Garden.'
Now THIS brings back memories. I had this album; I was 19(!) at the time - great arrangements by Charles Stepney who wrote many of the songs. And yes, Rainy Day in Centerville is beautiful!!
Before going solo Minnie was part of group called Rotary Connection.
Today it would have been her 60th Birthday (November 8, 1947 -- July 12, 1979). Deep respect for this voice, quality of singing and deep emotionality. - And hey, Minnie-Baby: You still enjoy us with your hot stoff. The young generation of "wanna become a star" still can take as an excelent example, what's world class R&B. - Keep you ever in mind & heart...
I'm the "other" truly hardcore Minnie Riperton fan! Bless you for posting this! Do you think that Dick, Maya and Marc will cooperate on a "Petals, Volume II?" How do we encourage them to do so?
Hmmm....I think that there are still songs and snippets never released....but I tell you what....what really needs to be released is a compilation of Minnie's T.V appearences on a limited time offer or something.....with all the artist whom are still with us have worked with her,and all those who are inspired by her....that would be incredible....Minnie Riperton's musical legacy is definitly a treasure,her voice will never die....she was so articulate in her manner of singing
A friend turned me on to this way after the fact, and now it is on my top ten of favorite albums ever. I can't even compare this music to anything else I have ever heard. I wonder how it did on the charts, although the charts always miss something superb by chance.
this album was recorded at chess in chicago a month after leonard chess died, and about a year after he had sold chess to grt/janus in new york. the album got lost in the upheaval and chaos that followed. grt, it seems ruined a great record co. the singles were'nt released until like 1972, three years after the record was done. the album never had a chance. a buried masterpiece.
Who ever said she was a one hit wonder is seriously smoking powerful crack. Minnie has a lot of hits. She died relatively young and would have been a very powerful to reckon with had she lived. She's had such a huge huge impact on hip hop culture. 9th Wonder, A Tribe Called Quest, etc. Today's R&B have no soul whatsoever. This is a true artists in its purest form.
