  • @mjjcng8958 I got your reply today and thank you very much for your response! I really appreciate that.

  • Im in love with this woman.

  • i love this!!

  • I like this album. I remember hearing that back in the day of recording critics had a problem with her cover..with the ice cream...that's how so much talent get by people, they look at lil bs than at the real talent! but She still got her music out there. And that they can't take from her! They being the Moguls in the business. I know many that turned their backs on her wish they hadn't now! Not that she is a commodity, but now they realize what talent she was blessed with.

  • PURE CLASS........

  • This proves that it is not only beautiful people can sing well

  • @NossaAgoraFudeu So Minnie was ugly then? Man you're a funny person

  • Her voice is a gift from God, its like he sent down an Angel to sing for us. Always adored her and always will.

  • and a tenner on this one to be sung on VERY badly by my dear friend on top of chalkys record boxes

  • Blijft Schitterend!!!!

  • goosebumps...one of my favorites

  • My favorite artist of all time. Fellow Wonderlove vocalist Deniece Williams on the background wails and Marlo Henderson KILLING it on the guitar...def one of Minnie's most sensual moments and trust me when I say there are many :DMx

  • dang she hit them high notes soo good...to me its bettah than mariah carey!! way bettah.

  • Klassic voice, soul & person.

    rip

  • 3 dislikers?? no taste! this is a fantastic song.

  • i hate minnie for making good music shes making me a freakin fan .... i wish they would honor her at bet awards or grammy's. her kids need dat

  • @laffy...they would honor her, but they'd overdo it as usualy with beyonce and mariah and all those same chicks they've been shoving in our faces....Minnie was loaned to us by God himself.

  • very sexapeal-song

  • Today would have been her 63rd birthday.

  • @jamesffxl She left us to young.

  • @jamesffxl :((( R.I.P. Minnieeee

  • Incredible and i dont mean that lighty.

  • I Love this Song this is one of my all time favorite's. Minnie you and Deniece Williams Singing in the background killed this song! I wish you two had did this Live on T.V. Or made a Video..! May be there is a Lost video footage from the studio...! That need to be released! Deniece never does this song or talk about it! I liked it the first time I heard it . Over twenty years ago Okkk.......!

  • biggscott7xlproductions

  • @otanimullicrank Only a d**k would post such a stupid comment.

  • @ewalk4959 get a job, and start a real life

  • @otanimullicrank Thanks, Captain Obvious.

  • @otanimullicrank

    Dude, go stand in a corner and hold your breath til you faint.

  • @otanimullicrank I believe your right! She always looked innocent but some of her songs had a lot of naughty, hidden meanings. Listen to her song called "Secret Garden", back then they could be naughty without being outright obvious about it like today's artist.

  • PERFECTION !!!

  • the guitar work on this is amazing!

  • Love this song. I grew up on Minnie, when ever I would cry my brother would put on Minnie Riperton to calm me down. Thanks for posting this

  • She had a great voice

  • messy marv and mitchy slick sampled this one the 2nd letter

  • I'll never tire of this song. It's so sexy.

  • another awesome song sang by the incredible minniee....i love this song..i lovee itt!..it´s kinda soft rock, but there´s the soul that minnies voice has....i just love her voice...is so angelic...there wont be anyother inger like her again...

  • I love beautiful women but in my generation girls do too much to fix themselves up. I Love how women in the 70s were real n beautiful the way they are like Pam Grier n Minnie Ripperton.

  • true, though they didn't shave down below back in the days... ;[

    anyway, great song, loving her!

  • Guitar is Mike Sembello

  • Thank you for your reply. I learn something. Can I infer that he is also on Reasons ?

  • Quick who is the guitar player ? Richard Rudolph ?

  • marafilha !!

  • Amazing

  • uhhhhhhhhhh this is crazyyy

  • @MichelCouillard Thanks for sharing this song. I love it a lot. It's very sexy.

    I have a small problem with it: you misspelled Minnie's last name. There's only one "p" in it.

  • Oops, sorry about that. Thanks a lot for the correction!

  • @HotKit

  • The album cover is the ultimate symbol of everything great about the 70s

  • he will melt your ice cream cone, too ;)

  • Love that picture.....

  • WHAT A SEXY SONG!!!!!!!

  • i wish i wouldve met Minnie before she passed.. but i wasnt even born yet..

  • loved the song and inside my love too of course. i sampled this for a beat I made. i'd appreciate if ya checked it out. it's "one punch KO' on my channel

  • Happy Birthday, Minnie Riperton 11-8-1947 & R.I.P 7-12-79 to me you have the best voice ever LOVE YOU.

  • @Jerz33Boy Much Luv for the birthday shout out to our girl Minnie her muzik truely lives on

  • minnie u r yhe greatest female singer ever. i miss u lady and i want u to know u will alway's live on. may god keep u in his loving arms. r.i.p. 11-05-09.

  • Fantastic Song!!

  • Fantastic singer

  • frenchhornguy123 you're so right! Deniece Williams was a teenager and Minnie let her take flight on that project. Minnie was truly the original "Songbird"

  • Wasn't that gracious!!!!!

  • @sofumba i beg to differ, neicy was not a teenager when this song was recorded, she was in her mid twenties.

  • Fantastic.

    I am still amazed at the quality of songs and styles Minnie offered .

    Thanks for posting.

  • damn...this is one hotttt ass song..wow Minnie.....a billion thumbs up...

  • im 22, perfect angel. wow. seriously.

  • Here's a woman who really pushed the envelope, in many ways. Ahead of her time for sure.

  • @gaspo218 Now after hearing her story and I keep hearing she was ahead of her time, I see why now..cause she died way too young so it's like God led her to do what she needed to do for herself and people like us, who need to hear her music!

  • @arlenerogerswilhite LOVE THE WAY YOU PUT IT

  • @mjjcng8958 Thank you I just posted my thanks above cause I hadn't found you but I kept looking and here you are! smile.

  • @arlenerogerswilhite No problem

  • thats mrs williams singing back ground on this track!! she killed it!! they were great friends!!

  • I can think of at least one man who makes me feel this way. A rare occurrence. The guitarist in this song really carries it along with Minnie's outstanding voice

  • Great song. I especially love the drums. That funky beat gets me going.

  • Yes. that drummer is a real professional. Really stand out in the song.

  • That's Songbird Deniece Williams singing the high background vocals

  • Erykah Badu referred to this album in her video "Honey," Minnie Riperton was very beautiful and pure vocally and physically. Especially, in this song.

  • she was soo in love with richard, just about all her song refer to love.. its nice when ur in love to here this beautiful music

  • I Love This Song!

  • She's a Perfect Angel!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I've been listening to this for a while and I definitely think that first soulful riff is Neicy, but it sounds as if Minnie is doing the higher background parts.

  • yup good ears, Stevie's girls and of course he's on piano.

  • just found out about this pure looking soul sister

    wow what a track

  • Im So Sad Hearing this.

  • This song seems so ironic. It has Minnie's angelic voice yet hard guitar chords, nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I think this is my fav of her songs... So smooth and sexy..luv her angelic voice on this track

  • i wish she was still alive?

  • wow this song is soo sooo sooo goood

  • daaaaaaayum, who is on guitar!?

  • It's Carlos Santana.

  • Ok, traceEurace, I was playing around when I said that was Santana on the guitar. I just found out it was a guy named Michael Sembello.

  • Excelente!Impresionante registro vocal!!! Una grande Minnie!4ever...

  • Minnie was a breathtaking entertainer. A true coloratura of pop music. We love you always Minnie. The fuzz tone guitar in this song is awesome too! Don't ya'll think so? Lance in beautiful Bremerton, Washington, USA

  • love it! that guitar is killin me...so hott

  • I'll have to say, you're all mistaken that's niecy singing lead,and the incomprable mrs. ripperton backing up her friend.

  • no you're mistaken

  • @tb518 you are correct it is minnie on the lead and niecy on the backgrounds.

  • feeling that Guitar..! CLASSIC!!!
