[PRHousequake]

**times**

[PRHousequake]

@DongabbioDJ Yes!! vinyl clicks n pops are awesome! I swear the quality of vinyl is a thousand times better Thames mp3s and CDs !

[oifnolykous]

The 4hero remake was almost identical and totally unnecessary.

[sheerdopeness]

perfect !

[Savasstf1991mor]

Great Song

[capsi2345]

i luv it (:: <3

[ObsidianParis]

The single one that disliked it tell on himself !

[anakin49170]

Quelle douceur.... <3

[Antainale]

zero dislikes. only so many ...

[BirdsEyePolarBear]

This song makes me very happy. I love the snow white dress she wears too.

[essboogy]

anyone know the chords for this???

[lifeonloop]

1st wedding anniversary this weekend, my wife came down the aisle to this tune. Perfect song.

[Howboi]

@lifeonloop Awesome choise :) Congrats

[dibble1973]

@lifeonloop Im getting married in Prague in August and we are coming back down to the aisle to this as a married couple, wish me luck :)

[shanatelevision]

@dibble1973 omg that is SO awesome. congratulations!! what a magical idea.

[cozener1]

Simply beautiful!

[GlennAsh]

Bloody hell how did that 4Hero bloke get away with sampling an entire song?

[pogistarr]

The remake is good but this one is better cause Minnie's voice is just irreplaceable.

[StevenFmusic]

Just me or is this identical to the remake?

[poundcake67]

@StevenFmusic It's the same they just changed the pitch chopped and restructured it then added some drums for phatness.

[Bollo2]

@poundcake67 if you're talkin bout 4Hero's cover, i think they're two different versions and actually both great...

[dogstar75]

@poundcake67

i know i'm 5 months late but 4hero didn't just use minnies version and change the pitch. they had musicians in the studio performing the song and had carina andersson on vocals. they used the same arrangment as a tribute to minnie and probably thought they couldn't improve on perfection

[poundcake67]

@dogstar75 Thanks for the education :) I agree it is hard to improve on perfection.

[capitalmindz]

@poundcake67 Black Sheep Similak Child!

[devolvedcouk]

@StevenFmusic Nice to see other Steve Firths like this tune ;D

[StevenFmusic]

@devolvedcouk haha, we share the same name?

[devolvedcouk]

@StevenFmusic So it would seem :)

We both also seem to like Britney Spears 3 ... for me it's a dubstep version though ... I'll msg u a link, don't think YT will let me post it here

[anney0207]

thnx 4 upploadinn ;) xx

[DonfabbioDJ]

Vinyl Clicks'n'pops are great!

[poundcake67]

@DonfabbioDJ I know I love them ;) Thanks for watching.

[zangiefsagat]

@DonfabbioDJ it always reminds me of the warmth of a fireplace

[jjaywill]

@DonfabbioDJ Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that!!

[DonfabbioDJ]

@jjaywill You bet! I still use sample from vinyl for my song.

[MrELLaMaLaKa]

Song is unreal. Appreciate the upload.

[goodyman72]

This was my first time ever hearing this song today and I can't even put in words how good it made feel hearing it. I always been big fan of Minnie Riperton now I'm even a bigger fan now.

[shellyg5455]

The real hero on this album was Charles Stepney... pure musical genius. Look him up. Earth Wind & Fire is one of the many groups that owe him big!

[CRYSTALLTAY]

I listen to minnie as I walk the streets of Harlem trying to find an unpaved street or avenue that will take me back to my Afros my sisters my nappy headed friends with picks. The only thing that mattered was my chocolate Barbie dolls in these bright pink boxes. I find nothin. 125th street is a stranger now. If Minnie was around. I wonder what would she be doin. What my sister would be doin. I ache for that time. Thank u ms riperton for ur voice and taking me back.

[biminij99]

@CRYSTALLTAY amen

[devolvedcouk]

Have really taken to this tune now, liked it anyway but has become a regular play

[poundcake67]

@devolvedcouk Yeah it's one of my favorites! How have you been?

[devolvedcouk]

@poundcake67 Just trying to make ends mostly, not been having much luck ... but all luck changes good or bad.

I hope so anyway lol :)

[poundcake67]

@devolvedcouk There's a lot of that going round you're not alone just remember this too shall pass my friend.

[devolvedcouk]

@poundcake67 Cheers blood, I do count my blessings. Would just be nice if it took longer ;D

[OCTAVELUV1]

@poundcake67 yeah its sad it didnt get the reconition it should have gotten.this is a beautiful arrangement,and the way Minnie hit those notes.i just luv her.miss you minnie.R.I.P.

[MrMLD72MLD]

♥

[poundcake67]

@MrMLD72MLD Did you use this? It sounds like you might have snatched a piece on your profile song. Sounds good!

[MrMLD72MLD]

@poundcake67 No, it was Gang Starr that used the sample of this song. Not sure if it is from this or the Ramsey Lewis version. I was going to upload this track again , my last channel was suspended and i uploaded a few of her tracks and might upload some more soon.

Respect.

♥

[DrefusX]

I remember my boy Doug found this 45 back in the mid 90's (someone threw away a few 45s)...Unfortunately his records and stuff were stolen a year or two later...

Ramsey Lewis did a cover of this as well... Still Minnie's version is just phenomenal...

[qwtzrl]

FYI -> Diplo linked this video on his twitter. props 2 u.

[waadful]

U tooo

Yes, and he's got good taste.
