R.I.P., Don Cornelius (September 27, 1936 - February 1, 2012). Without innovators like you, awesome performers like Minnie wouldn't have had a viable outlet to reach out and showcase their world-class talent for all to see -- on a weekly basis. We were all truly blessed because of your vision. May God rest your soul.
@dat77 So is ANYTHING she did with the Rotary Connection! A timeless and overlooked talent! Her range, all three of them, each could send a chill up my spine. There'll never be another like her. :-(
The best their ever was and will be...listen to the melody, the tone sense, the ability to take her voice to the heavens and sound like she wants to take you there with her...she is right on all the time and never misses pitch, tonality, or just plain perfection.
One of the most underrated singers of the 20th Century--if not THE most--live and in person on Soul Train, over 35 years ago. Amazing. Her golden voice could shatter glass, but not the barriers of ignorance in the music industry. Her life was taken before she could get a single Grammy, but her legacy will live on forever.
@relaximdointhis sorry all the Soul Train shows were Lip Synched! Only a few were not! It was the same with Top of the Pops, AB, all of them sung to their records, even the later ones! Only Certain Soul Train Guests like Rappers, large Funks Bands, such as Brass Construction, Earth Wind & Fire.etc
There is nothing else on earth that come close. She is my favorite singer of all time and this if one of my favorite songs of all time. She was love and vibration of very high power. Thank you for this viddie.
How does anyone get through life without Minnie Ripperton?

They knew she was special when they let her sing live on Soul Train and didn't force her to mime like everybody else!

A timeless song and singer,they'll never be another one like her. Her version of Respect with Rotary Connection is best one and badly overlooked.

@Dynamo001 Definitely. She fucking rocked. Everyone in the audience was too high to appreciate the note she lets out at 2:00!

Damn, she's not lip-synching this, which they usually did on Soul Train. She was an amazing artist, and an amazing woman. RIP Minnie.
