[carlosthegaucho]

Popular music most probably reached it's peak in the 70's, I'm listening to everything from the 30's to 00's for years and this is what I'd not be afraid to claim

[brisbane1966]

If you ever feel down, listen to Musical Massage and I Want You by Marvin Gaye (written and produced by Leon Ware). It might not take your troubles away but for a little while you'll at least be at peace. Music I truly can't live without.

[DaQueenBionca]

Brandy & Usher used this tune for their duet "Who Is She To You"

[kingskamz]

nice.

[musicdragon75]

I live for music like this. Truly awesome, this is true love, not Best I Ever Had. I do like that song too though :D but there's just no comparison when it comes to the meaning. R.I.P Minnie and props to Leon for the I Want You album

[jazzfunk61]

thanks suzie

[MsTexas73]

The Musical Massage lp is actually very good...and Minnie sings on a couple more songs on it also. And included on the cd is are the I Want You demo sessions that Leon recorded before handing the songs over to Marvin.

Also, check Minnie's Adventures In Paradise lp...Leon's got his hand in that one. Like one of my personal favs, Baby, This Love I Have.

[smilersweetness]

Lovely song :)

[grod1328]

this was also used by camron and dmx 357 pull it

[dreadhead703]

I can hear teena marie in her voice...love it!

[Alkamii]

No disrespect to Teena Marie 'cos I love me some Teena but vocally, Teena can't even begin to compare with Minnie Riperton. Granted Teena wrote, produced & arranged most of her material, but her voice is more suited to her own songs.The limits of her voice are apparent on 'Fire & Desire' with Rick James. Jojo of Mary Jane Girls' voice would've been more suited to Fire & Desire. That's my opinion anyway.

[mistermilkman]

Keep on mind, Minnie was a big influence on Teena. She was Teena's favorite female vocalist. Teena has nothing but love & respect 4 Minnie...no comparison.

[jacquez42]

i like this song because it about love & also about love!!!. So go minnie riperton sing it gurl god bless your song and you shall live in peace !!!!

[Mission94110]

Great to come across some Leon Ware. He did an album in the mid-70's that was fantastic.I forgot the name but I believe it may have been either his first or second album. Leon, along with T-Boy Ross were the men behind the scenes for much of Marvin Gaye's 70's career.

[koolfraser]

name of album: musical massage

leon ware wrote the songs for one of gaye's albums, 'i want you' released in 76, but had no part in other albums of the 70s era.

[macko54]

"your the kinda girl a guy could diiiiiiiiieeeeeee for"....classic

[divazeephib]

great song

[MsTexas73]

Always LURVE Minnie's voice...and Leon...I forgot about him but yes...good stuff...this actually reminds me A LOT of Ashford and Simpson....Leon's voice can be mistaken for Nick Ashford's

[BLJackson1983]

I know that this is totally off of the subject but that pic of the lady on that album cover is SEXY...

[grannie530]

Brandy sampled this gem for her song "Who's She to You."

[TheReal12]

She sho did! [Wooooow]...

[RosesLavender]

Wow, sing it!! I had read something about a duet with Leon Ware, but hearing it now...Leon and Minnie's voices make a amazing pair!

[bnetwise]

A great song that I never heard before, Thank You.

[blueeyedvamp3]

Great song!!!

[IMCOnAir]

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...

[babydv]

This is my first tiem to listen to this song and I didn't know Minnie joined this recording.

Thank you for posting such a great song!!

Minnie's pure voice always moves me. :) :) :)

[jarbon5]

Never heard this song before, but I'm diggin it:) Hey, doen't that girl in the picture look like she need dome food? Somebody got some money to buy her a McDonald's meal or something?

[broque24]

So this is where Brandy got that beat from.

[jazzfunk56]

It's a nice song but a sexy song is: 'I wanna ta ta you', Johnny guitar Watson!

[konnykontant]

Sexy? naah.. just good. If you wanna hear sexy, then listen to "Teddy Pendergrass Love TKO" It doesn't get sexier than that hehe..

[cheebacheeba]

i love teddy P, what about d'angelo

[germgel]

[Apelidadoxis]
