Minnie Riperton - Les Fleur (FUG Edit)

[iayyam]

What is going on in the second verse? Is this another language or some creative editing?

[iayyam]

Beautiful edit.

[preciouslove2love]

This is MUSIC! I love it!

[mjjcng8958]

she was beyond catogories and stereotypes. she sounds like the brids i hear when i leave my window open. man i love her so much her voice is actually hunting

[0Imtheslime0]

@mjjcng8958 i agree, spring is the perfect season for this song, when snow melts away and the birds come out to sing. That¨s when this song just sounds so perfect.

Signing the register and walking out of the church to this most beautiful of songs - beats the hell out of wedding bells any day! I know I'm a realy hippy, but I get so emotional everytime I hear this. God bless your heart Minnie, I know your spirit will be with us on our very very special day. Thanks for posting.

[cdjblue1952]

This has been a favorite of mine for many, many years and noone else seemed to even be aware of this album. I'm really glad that it's being recognized for it's quiet beauty.

[labrownification]

Great edit on an awesome! unbelievably! incredible! song! Great post!

[dranrebrecrem]

@Rhiorra: I know the first line is " To the morning sings to lovely flower " Stumped on the second line, though.

[dranrebrecrem]

That "humming" riff toward the end hits my ear like genius.

[Valmcneal]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. An all-time Minnie Ripperton Classic - the long version!

[girl1789]

you guys know that "Smoking on Hay" sampled this song

[Rhiorrha]

Can anyone tell me what the backup singers are saying between the lines in the first verse?

[emceeslo]

Good edit. I could imagine a longer in-concert version sounding like this.

[emceeslo]

Good edit

[pylgrym]

Intro like Blind faith's "Can't Find My Way Home" . . .

[jetit]

Ugh. It's like brain freeze. My mom played a Ramsey Lewis live version (on 8 Track) of Les Fleur - no symphony, no vocals if I recall. I can't even figure out what album it was on. If you run across any clues, please let me know! This would have been mid to late seventies stuff. And I remember Hang on Sloopy was on one of those long-lost tapes.

[0Imtheslime0]

@drchaffee

Sounds like a one-off 8 track recording. It was on his Maiden Voyage album and a Best-Off from 1970..

[LovinLife7777]

Very nice mix that enhances - well done!

[jagdaim]

just an amazing song love it

[Kohntarkosz]

Thanks for posting this. I saw the Unsung show on TV 1 about Minnie, and they talked about this song on the program. Been wanting to hear this album ever since.

[cassieann1000]

@Kohntarkosz You really need to listen to all the songs on this album if you haven't already "ComeTo My Garden it will blow your mind. We used to listen to this back in the day. She is the greatest. I made a playlist of all the songs on this album. Beautiful, just amazing how it still sounds so good to me. God may forever let her rest in peace.

[cassieann1000]

[hardmrj1]

This song is truly amazing on so many levels; lyrics, melody, instrumentation, vocals, expression. It's hard to imagine how it could be more perfect.

[MidEasterner]

[kiddio5]

She had a 5 octave range. A true artist, Minnie set the bar 30 maybe 40 yrs. ago today's singers could only aspire to be like her. Her music is beautiful and timeless.

[Cyebrary]

Xcellent,Lyke thIs A Lot,BetterThan the Original

[verbaldoodle]

[RNLovely]

"Will a child find me by the stream? Kiss my petals weave me through a dream?" God bless you Minnie and the Rudolph family.
