Minnie in Concert Part 2

[MotorCityPlayer]

I just love how she incorporates her childrens names in the song. Personalizes it for only them..

[michaelvincentaustin]

Soooooo much love comes through her precious voice!

[MrCHILDSTAR]

minnie ripperton didnot learn the words of the song correctly. FACT: minnie ripperton covered Loving You !

[valleart]

freakin AMAZINinG!

[greyfuzzyslippers]

FRICKING HIGH

[ericlosw]

sings like a bird!!!

[brownfoxx76]

AMAZING!

[nando2625]

CARALEOOO d++

[waitimlau]

unbelievable amazing.

[leafhater1]

unbelievable

[slimsxyblkwoman]

FLAWLESS! This was a time when you had to be ULTRA-TALENTED to be a recording artist! Artists like Minnie set the standard for modern day singers and very few have been able to meet them, let alone follow them!

[SeveralMimi]

She left us too early..

[Steelers2116]

what range!

[nuttyprofessor64]

Why diss Mariah or anyone else. Minnie

is and always will be in a league of her own ! We still have room for the Mariah's,

Chantee Moore's, Jennifer Hudson's or

anyone else with talent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lukituchi]

Well Mariah is just a person who can whistle, she's not the best and she won't be the best ever!

[RizenZ011]

What do u mean 'whistle'...she uses her own God given talent just like Minnie, God Bless her Soul. If u really do think she 'whistles' as you say, Ill pay any money for you to 'whistle' like she does on a video...

[seoulboi]

The whistle register...

[barnabas50]

yes she is referring to Maya Rudolph (her daughter) of SNL.

[JellyKimSugarBoom14]

WOW How the hell does she do that!INCREADABLE

[Renrooni]

i got goosebumps!

[lovejoy420]

Her right side was paralyzed at this time, due to cancer but she kept performimg until the end. God bless her family! Heaven has alot of songbirds!

[arlenerogerswilhite]

@lovejoy420 Wow effortless, not a flinch..no veins popping nada....I lvoed this woman. I didn't know she was paralyzed. Her voice sure didn't tell it! These girls these days could only hope to sing like this songbird! A true gift from God.

[Mshoney720]

WOW! Minnie is a legend.

[hibernate02]

That was flawless.... Fabulous!

[ShesAccurseD]

I don't think Mariah Carey could hit that last note in her younger days. incredible.

[ginmarie75]

OMG!SIMPLY AMAZING!

[anthos818]

Wow she was singing her daughter Maya Rudolphs name wasnt she.

[panxosolis]

OMG! i want the entire concert please!!!! where can i find it!! please! i'd do anything to have it!

[BiDiO]

Thank U very much for every single Minnie's video!

[gnsky77]

That brings tears to my eyes what a voice. we will never have another Minnie. Thanks for downloading this piece I had the entire concert and lost my VHS (actually thieving ex-girlfriend stole it-glad to hear it again-now if I could just find Stevie Wonder Comes Home aired on Showtime circa 1985'

[kenyakeoni]

OMG !!!  Amazing!!!

[titan123]

SO MUCH POWER

[kmaur21]

Minnie is a perfectionist you can tell!

[kmaur21]

Another thing Minnie is way better than MC because she does her whistles and harmonies in like one take. Mariah needs multiple takes to produce coloratura notes, whereas Minnie does it like in take plus, harmonies and everything. Every song Minnie does live is better than studio guarantee you that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[mcarey]

you're a whitney fan, so what do you know about whistle or coloratura notes? How do you know what and how many takes Mariah requires to do anything? I'm really curious to know.

[Mshoney720]

trudat!

[KassanovaBrowne]

When asked who her favorite singer was, the late Phyllis Hyman said it was Minnie Riperton. I loved both of them and I'm praying that the Great CREATOR has use for them in HIS HEAVENLY CHOIR. Minnie Riperton still is my favorite of all. "Here We Go Again" with Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack also on vocals and You Take My Breath Away with Gearge Benson are amoung my favorites.

[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...

[tinbeen]

Simply beautiful...think it is awesome there way she sang to her daughter...I feel so sad for her family having lost her far too soon...she seemed a lovely person.

[desirecha3go]

Great Voice

[papalongstuff]

Damn! That last note made my eyes water.

One of the few people who can do that to me, musically and involuntarily...Minnie, we miss you sooo much...

[POPPASHANGO]

HAHAHA the same thing happened to me!

[POPPASHANGO]

Those of us lucky enough to have seen her concert will miss her dearly

[MasterKhem]

Hearing that whistle tone gave me goosebumps and I just sighed. Ahhhhh, Minnie, I wish I could have had the chance to see you perform in my lifetime, but you're singin' for God now. RIP. Love you and your music

[ykaj68]

That last note is crazy!!!! how in the world?!? Amazing...

[MrStyle]

Wow!

[ThaKidACity]

her whistle register is BOMB!!! effortless right there man.

[XxCoCapCutiexX]

Maya Rudolph

[XxCoCapCutiexX]

mark this as spam was accident

[yonel1990]

wow! define WHISTLE! GREAT!

[sherwin76502]

aww... how sweet. "Maya,Maya, Ringo, Maya,Ringo Maya, Ringo ,Maya."

[mystifying1]

To me she was the greatest female vocalist ever i will always love minnie peace

[LuvNU75]

If anyone is curious at the end Minnie is singing, Maya,Maya, Ringo, Maya,Ringo Maya, Ringo ,Maya.

"Ringo" is her son Marc's nickname.

[soulfyrestar]

She is incredible, especially she hits that higher note at the end!!!

There will never be another Minnie Riperton.

[MsTexas73]

nEVER NEVER FORNEVER be another Minnie...she's just tops...la grand Dame of Whistle Register.

[preciousmell]

Thank you so much for this clip.

[curry567]

Her five octave was flawless....please post more footage of this truly great singer...such a huge fan of her music.

[Brilliantbeing]

Yes, Maya Rudolph is an above average singer. She can sing better than the majority of Pop Tarts out there today. I guess she doesn't want to deal with the cut throat music business. I think she'd make a fine artist. She certainly has the pedigree.

[nondessant]

she was beautiful woman vocally and physically..off the subject...does everyone already know that minnie's daughter is a cast member on saturday night live i dunno if someone already mentioned it...but her name is maya rudolph and she can sing a lil..i can't tell if she can sang sang because most of the time she's is only playing around

[titan123]

She has the most powerful whistle register

[ksherrel2003]

She actually had a solo album out before rotary connection where she sung under the alias Andrea Davis when she was fresh out of high school.

[LuvNU75]

Actually this is incorrect... Minnie's record company Chess released a few singles in 1966-67 under name Andrea Davis, Her debut album was recorded Nov.22,23,& 24 of 1969,actually in the last days of Rotary Connection.

[ghiberti]

I LOVE HER WHISTLE REGISTER!!! No strain, no struggle, no frown, NO STUDIO EFFECTS!!! Pure talent. Minnie is A RARE MUSICAL PIECE of LIFE. Mariah is not even worthy to be compared to her(she had a concert in the Philippines and her mouth was opening along a recorded song). Minnie, whereever you are, I bow to your talent!

[gulfrazthehunk]

i could say all that about Mariah. It's just your opinion, bitch. who cares. you can bow to my hairy butt.

Oh, and R.I.P minnie. I love you.

[jetit]

I love Miss Minnie..I found a live Rotary Conection, cd..wow is all I can say.This was the group she was with before she went solo. and There christmas cd I love Minnie's ver- of silent night..done in all Hight Notes..

[xmen4ever8290]

me too!!!

[Taya09]

Minnie gives me goose bumps when I listen to her songs

[xmen4ever8290]

I agree and i did see that too!

[pau3365]

Minnie is the queen of the whistle register!!!!

Mariah even admitted this in interviews, that without Minnie, SHE wouldn't be singing the way she sings.

Thank you Minnie for inspiring one of the great ones!!!

[bombeirao]

she is amazing i love her

but truth be told

she is not better than mariah - I mean the whistles.. mariah does them WAY MUCH BETTERRRRRR

[jasonbond81]

yeah thanks to the better sounding mics we have today..remember unlike todays artist this is not digitally remastered its original, she is way better than mariah, I love mariah though she is a great singer as well, just that minnie is greater

[gulfrazthehunk]

what kind of bullshit was that?

you really are talking crap.

[jetit]

No she dose not. You better get all of minnie albums not the cd's they don't give all the full songs. but never here Mariah say her hight notes like minnie. someday was the only song.oh and get the Rotary conection cd's

[gulfrazthehunk]

i agree 100%.

[kenwl]

truthfan,

for sure you haven't see mariah perform live b4. and you got any proof mariah did her stuff in da studio?? pls stop insulting other artist, u dun hav to insult other singer in order to praise another singer.

[TruthFan]

kenwl, for sure you have heard of the first amendment which states the right to free speech. I can and will make comments about performers as I see fit. There are some songs that I like by Mariah Carey and I am sure you know that Mariah has and does struggle to hit the high notes, sometimes she does not. No insults just constructive criticism and personal opinions. However, Minnies is the best I have seen to hit that particular note.

[xmen4ever8290]

i love minnie i just love her! she is so amazing and i was so happy when i saw the song resons somebody should try to get the song "You Take My Breathe Away" that was one of her highest notes.

[TruthFan]

great talent, it looks effortless, unlike Mariah she struggles if she even makes it. But oh well Mariah does her thing in the studio.

[gulfrazthehunk]

HEY! you idiot! mariah's hole was sooo tight in hear early years. shes over used her voice for 16 years, and shes still going strong. Her whistles are full of emotions. oh, and fuck off.

[TruthFan]

Ok numbskull, are you so far up Mariah's hole that you can't stand the truth. I never said she was a horrible singer, I like some of her music. I enjoy the new cd. But Minnie she ain't. Oh and go fuck yourself, like you have been doing.

[gulfrazthehunk]

HAHA! you made me laugh...

well, i see what you mean. i actually LOVE minnie too. her voice, her cute nose, and them paralyzing whistles. If it wasn't for minne, mariah would probably not have her range. oh, and go eat a cock.

[TruthFan]

Well I'm glad I amuse you. Minnie is one of Mariah influences. And why would I go eat cock when you already have an ass full of it.

[gulfrazthehunk]

True. she was one of mariahs influences.

two cocks are better than one, in ANY situation.

[titan123]

no that note is higer because she sings a b6 ibn the original version this is higher

[pattersonjk]

OMFG!! so amazing!!

[Doooku]

she is much better than Mariah Carey!

[shaaaakeitoff]

Minnie, you are incredible. i love you. rest in peace.

[cherrybaby2006]

Shes awesome as always!!!

[Sparks0245]

OMG...what note is that at the end????

And I like how this video was uploaded on the day she died back in '79

[blueandgold200]

The note is Bb6! That is amazing!!

[Sparks0245]

Really....it sounds higher than that...

[SwEEtAzNDrEEmZ]

it duz???? whooaaa

[BiDiO]

The Incredible Minnie Riperton...
