Here We Go - Minnie Riperton (full version)

[WMORGAN48]

I can remember like it was yesterday. I was on a date with my high school sweetheart when it came over the radio that Minnie Riperton had died. All we could do was stare and each other for about 10 or 15 minutes....A day i have never forgot, and don't think I ever will. RIP

[bigdicklarryc]

This is actually my favorite song of hers. RIP baby girl. You are missed.

[lelat32]

she was so beautiful witth a beautiful voice

[JISINSANE3]

gimme just gimme....gimme what you cant give back

[iluvmyboba]

Man, Peabo Bryson is the go-to guy if you want a bangin' duet. He always delivers.

[tbradfo]

music to my soul. Minnie u are so loved and missed. As long as i have your music, you will be in my heart forever. peace and luv

[UltraDOG17]

[theezonu]

There has not been another who could put out the after glow of her light. She left behind the echoes of an Angel, whose vibrations resound in the Heart.

[MsBrooklynn26]

My favorite singer. No one can touch her voice or out sing her. Melba Moore and Mariah comes close. But no one can Go like Minnie. RIP, gone but never forgotten.

[gmufool77]

absolutely superb! flawless!

[KeyGreen76]

Maya Rudolph you look jus like YO MOMMA

[vis4y]

i love bryson on this duet . you would thing damn what kind of sex was that.

[artcolding]

My all time greatest hit from Minnie Riperton. And Peabo... I hear you coming on strong my brother. You are still the man!  I mean your add lib is right on time every time. God bless you. And Minnie, R.I.P. You are an angel sent from God.

[blazefire333]

[blazefire333]

gimme,gimme the world,gimme what you cant give back

[mochagirl215]

when mariah grows up, she wants to be minnie

[5151uptown]

@mochagirl215 MARIAH CAN GROW UP ANOTHER CENTURY AND WANT TO BE ANOTHER MINNIE RIPERTON BUT IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN... THE ONLY PERSON TODAY THAT I KNOW OF, THAT CAN COME CLOSE TO MRS. MINNIE RIPERTON...IS RACHELLE FERRELL... AND THATS JUST CLOSE... I AGREE LOST HER TO SOON AND SHE DID EVERYTHING TO BE ACCEPTED BY THE MEDIA AND MOST OF ALL US BLACK FOLKS... WHICH WAS A TASK FOR HER IN THE BEGINNING I REMEMBER SEEING DON CORNELLIUS

AND HER STRUGGLE WITH HER SICKNESS AND STRUGGLE TO BE

[pearliegurl28]

BEAUTIFUL SONGBIRD .......

[cheriisuontop]

i love this song i play it when i think of my boyfriend Cedric D Ward ! I cried when Minnie died i miss her !

[mochagirl215]

Makes me smile whenever I hear minnie....

[erikamdixon01]

This needs a love button...

[brandooo87]

Dude, how can ppl dislike this song???

[deltamaryify]

Her daughter, Mya Rudolph, from Saturday Night Live looks just like her mon on this album cover. Minnie was blessed with a beautiful voice and she left us much too young.

[sweettea8534u]

another gem that will forever be treasured ....what i wouldn't have given to have the honor of seeing her peform live....thank you Minnie for giving us a rare precious gift...the pleasure you bestowed us with ......WHAT A VOICE!! love u always R.i.P.

[wenhas1]

[bolitojolley]

[NellStalgya]

For the 5 Buroughs,,

Thank U Pete Rock and Minnie (RiP)

[esseen100]

Beauty!

[ladysure1]

One of the talented, gifted and greatest voices of all time. Listen, listen, listen, just awesome!

[Jay80477]

AZ and Nas brought me here

[phil14true]

The seventeen yahoos that don't like this song are plain stupid morons!!!!!!!

[dlwc731]

@phil14true agreed!!

[dlwc731]

@phil14true

[LyricLove101]

This is off the hook. Horns, piano and such soul to the flow !!! If I remember correctly this song was pieced together after she died or something like that. Sounds and feels as though she and Peabo Bryson were in the same room, in arms signing this incredible tale of never coming down from love. It works for me. Minnie Ripperton's voice was an incredible instrument. She died of breast cancer long before her time but BABY, her song, message and voice live on and strong!! Go Girl!!

[UBZUKI]

SIMPLY GORGEOUS...

[CCthebat]

I love Minnie Riperton and her singing voice! :)

[BeautifulSoulOfMimi]

I love her voice....it's sad, that she died in a young age :(

still love it :) <3

[Falangiwatson]

Some of them say you left us, no way.

[c11393]

Miracles are real and so are Angels!

[crgybby]

and she's Maya Randolph's mother !

[celestialpathway]

Her, Syreeta, and Deniece Williams were really wonderful sopranos.

[butterflys098]

i so love minnie rip and yes i said rip cause she rips it every time

[Brokenheartable1]

i love this songg (:

[czypauly07]

Unbelievable flageolet at 2:30!

[ThEsHizNit756]

@TheTense54 oh I feel you!

[TheTense54]

I heard this song while watching the sun set on in a hotel in Georgia on top of the roof of a lovely hotel. Can you even imagine the magic....I will never forget it! I will also never forget Minnie Ripperton and Peabo for this song....15 years later I am introducing my child to this beautiful songtress aand her duet with the soulful Peabo! PEACE

[dyoung81dayton]

don't forget Roberta Flack added vocals on this song as well

[princess11222]

What are some other good Minnie songs? I only know of Lovin You and Back Down Memory Lane. Any other suggestions? Also is her Unsung documentary on dvd?

[DrFrankLee]

@princess11222 Try looking up"Magical World" or "Life Could" by "Rotary Connection"...

[NeaFrea]

Gorgeous!

[endiasummer]

2:28 ...... My goodness. No one but Minnie could sing like this. Takes me down "memory lane".

[jon9111984]

I always thought Stevie Wonder did this duet with Minnie...

[debranov]

give me what you can't get back

[darkanser]

It's odd but only after acquiring this posthumous album soon after it came out did I realize that Minnie had such a vocal range.  Five plus octaves!! I'm a singer and singers are lucky if they have two octaves far less FIVE!! I just happen to be here because I was curious about the ethnic background of comedienne Maya Rudolph ( New comedy Up All Night) and learned Minnie Riperton was her mother. Amazing this internet!!

[MegaTierra89]

i love all of her music damn old skool music has meanings to it and moods... it tells alot

[MsMerising]

32 years ago today (July 8th) we lost Minnie. RIP Perfect Angel. I'll be reclinin' enjoyin' this lazy afternoon :D <3

[cqgmickey]

I love the melodies of old school, Music now can't understand the pure sounds they made back then....



[neceekaye]

MINNIE AND PEABO WHAT A COMBINATION!! YEAH IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!!! JUST ENJOY TWO GREAT VOICES!!!

[platinumprincess1084]

Why cant music be like this again? Song gives me chills. She had a sick range and octave. Rip Minnie.

[thrixdog]

I just love this, but i used get so sad thinking how it was the last of something so beautiful. Peabo actually put down his tracks after she had already passed away. It sounds like they were together in the same room.

[Jocemuzic8]

this song always makes me cry with the innocence of the Love that was so pure and so clean. She sang with such a purity in her lyrics.Stevie found something in her that will always be felt through music forever. rest in peace songbird

[sinamenone]

She sings like a bird...no female artist out here today can touch her!!!

[bigben1986]

@sinamenone is ay this all the time and these stupid fucking idiot asshole kids don't believe me. not all of these kids are jerks but jesus todays music indeed sucks. i remember back in the day as a break dancer i listened to everyyyyyyyyything. and i mean everything. cuz all music was good , heck even country music was great back then lol today its horrible., i listen to the a.m radio now.

[TheBlack6499]

@bigben1986 

[On3Thought]

@sinamenone Anita Baker?

[FIGHTSEEN]

This song just could not be 30 y.o.. Still so beautiful. The planet was better for you having been on it Minnie.

[Ozone04p]

@FIGHTSEEN Truly an angel on this planet when she was here. ..and even now still everytime you listen to her music. I was born in '63 so I remember her well. My sisters, cousins and aunt had every album she did. Extraordinary.!

[vbarbour1954]

This is one of the BEST Minnie Ripperton songs that remin m of some of the best times of my life!

[chuco621]

why don't you gimme the world ? ..

[TheSpeechLady11]

Love you, Minnie! Greatly missed!

[cwgotnolovegypsy]

gone too soon. NEVER will she be forgotten

[dougmcarthur0]

Maya Rudolph's mom was super hot and a bad ass singer.

[dougmcarthur0]

Maya Rudolph's mom was super hot and a bad ass singer.

[Holeysweater]

[Flashthelight]

A Song That Hits The Spot. Just Think What She Would Have Done Too Music If She Was Still Alive. No One Today Can Tpuch Her..... God Bless You Minnie And Thank You God For Giving Her Too Us For Such A Short Time, And I know Her Spirit Is Here On Earth Until You Come Back For All Souls...........

[RaceIsOpen]

[loosestudios]

@RaceIsOpen Peabo Bryson

[J4mMazTaR4Y]

HOT NIGHTS IN THE CITY

[ProffesserDre22]

[joe54t]

AZ - Gimme Yours

[TigerGrumman]

I would have paid some serious money, to have been able to hear both Minnie Riperton and Anita Baker, do something together. That would have been magical to say the least.

Sadly, the name Minnie Riperton and Anita Baker, will not even register with the Lady GaGa set. These younger generations have no grounding and no real sense of where the music of today owes its origin and its roots.

In fact, if you listen carefully, it even seems like Anita went to school in Minnie, just a bit.

[Praclik22]

@TigerGrumman Mass will be always dominating. Thing is that the cheap music wores out quickly and this stuff survives. There are and always will belisteners who are looking for more :) Even within the teens.

[DAPEACHEE1]

Y'ALL R T8KN MY BREATH AWWWWWWAY........

[quietstorm000]

Simply Beautiful. Really puts you in that mood...

[bulldogdiva40]

I remember this song from when I was 9. I love her. What a voice.

[ElBoogieAmworld]

just gimmie... gimmie what u cant give back........

[badboisuga]

15 misguided souls hit the D button just to be "different"! God Bless the late Minnie Riperton

[dcfray]

is that pebo...ithink so.

[lisaray101]

A lot of artists sample this pretty song: Az, Trina, Beyonce, Lord Finesse.

[1ooman]

It's now 15, besides, just coz their heads are shaped like a light bulb, does not necessarily make them bright either.

[lenabina86]

so trina jacked the beat

[tihong10]

1000th Like!

[rahmek1]

Love this song. Glad my mom was hip.

[V3NoMxDaPoiiZ0N]

[mrideau]

I had all of her albums... She was wonderful !

[Kekimize]

Holy shit 2:30

[thejazzman210]

I haven't heard the full version of this song in over 25 years. I love a woman I've never met in my life, and her name was Minnie Riperton. I thank God for youtube.

[JamesWardenJr]

I heard this song three times the year she passed, and I rehearsed it in my heart so I wouldn't forget it. I thought it was Stevie Wonder so I could never find it. Now its been nearly 30 years and I found it. The last portion with the duet is my favorite! Minnie now sings to God in wonderland-heaven she's so full of love.

[ElBoogieAmworld]

this song is so dope what year was this?

[billyjacc]

@ElBoogieAmworld 1979

[ElBoogieAmworld]

Pete Rock Sampled this joint for AZ

[kwkable11]

@ElBoogieAmworld give me, why don'y you give me the world, give me what you can't get back. What cha know about that '95 AZ?

[ztruth4u]

Two of my favorite artist together! Love it!

[MrBigbranson]

[PumaDown]

[prenticeone]

Pure Genius!!

[CrazyNative4]

[pocashworth]

No one and I mean no one can compare the sweet sounds, the sweet innuendo of Minnie Riperton. She has captured a place in time for me. I can feel the atmosphere of the room during that time, like I am there.

Thank you Minnie!

[missmochashake]

I listened to Minnie Ripton every chance I get She has a vocal that is unbelievable and nobody can never master to her vocal.

[lalin59]

I,  too, have always counted this song as one of my favorties. The Roberta Flack/Peabo Bryson harmony in the back is so perfect on this.

[AcDeSade]

They probally will never get it!!!!!

[illnoble]

az - gimme yourss what a beautyfull song !! thank ou Minnie riperton

[dashenell2010]

Minnies awesome, as usual, voice is classic and timeless!!

[2010cayne]

Hey You Guy's let's not be so hard on those 14 individual's that couldn't get with this classics from Minnie and Peabo. This kind of music is for Mature Adult/Lover's Only. Youngun's just don't understand yet ( Smile. )

[MsLovergirl67]

@2010cayne This was one of the sexiest songs ever made!!! Some people don't know about GOOD Music!!

[billyjacc]

@MsLovergirl67 U know right???

[kinstube]

@2010cayne NO MATTER YOUNG OR WISE(MATURE), THESE IS AMAZING WAVES OF SOUND !!

[dxwst4]

@2010cayne I am young but my mother raised me on this music...Luther, Marvin, Teddy, Deniece Williams, Diana, Chaka, Al Green,Jackson 5, Temptations...I can keep goin...Im only 22 and I still listen to this real R&B and I am so happy my parents and aunts had me listening to music like this...music is not like this now at alland I am really a youngin saying this...like my 1st CD was Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu and Marvin Gaye...this music lifts my soul

[dxwst4]

[sshhiivvuumm]

@2010cayne you're totally wrong , im 15 and i along with most of my friends adore minnie - but i'm at a music school and we're all huge soul lovers i guess

but still , i hate it how all teenagers are stereotyped into one group of mainstream sheep !

[1901elina]

@2010cayne ha funny how insulting u can be to younger ppl when I'm an 18 year old loving this... Oldun..

[PhireMadeFlesh]

@2010cayne

Nah, they won't understand until its sampled by someone like Lil' Wayne, Jay-Z, Drake, etc. Then (and only then) will it be the greatest song they've ever heard.

[xChrizo]

@2010cayne Im just 13... Think i understand

[4life1971]

and i bet the 13 ppl aren't even on here....idiots lol

[hiiamrick]
