[TheUnknowKING]

omg i wanna break down in tears............... ! i always liked this song , but never knew who was singing it originally

[hendo337]

This song sounds very...English...must be the reason 4hero stole it :I

[skyiscrying53]

I wish her daughter Maya song but I guess comedian is her thing.

[donaldboyce3]

Am I the only person that thought this song was about cunilingus?

[Runebobs]

APPLE JUICE BREAK!!!!

[Potionette81]

I always thought this song was from 'Hair' or something like that. Either way, I love it.

[reneecalling]

She's wonderful in this record.  I miss hear delicate voice.

[brandooo87]

This is a perfect song from the beginning, to the end

[Yngelel]

Just gorgeous.

[AHMbros4life]

It's been long since a song gave me the chills, specifically with that chorus. Song these days don't gave me that.

[MamaNuveau]

This was such a beautiful song!

[1upchuka]

This how music should be beautiful and bombastic!

[angelfly72]

What a treasure Minnie was, and how blessed we are to still be able to hear that incredible voice! I read about her death in a magazine while waiting for a bus to take me to college, and I burst into tears. That's very, VERY unusual behavior for me. But that's how much her music affected me--I felt like I was being transported to another dimension while listening to her sing. I still feel pain whenever I think about how she died so young.

[vietboy247]

Iamdonald sent me here. <3

[Thetatyanabanana]

GREAT SONG.....PIERCED MY SOUL......RIP MRS RIPERTON.

[qantas1986]

RIP Minnie, beautiful voice....

[profdab]

Beautiful song. Makes me think of spring.

[AmberGlowify]

Awesome. Had no idea till now there were even words to the song since I have been enjoying Ramsey Lewis's instrumental version.,

[MamaNuveau]

@AmberGlowify Me too! I didn't realize until the other day when I watched Minnie's episode of Unsung that there were words to the song. I think Ramsey and her husband co-wrote it. I may be wrong about Ramsey but I know her hubby wrote some of it. Did you know that her daughter is an actress? Maya Rudolph. She was in Grown Ups and Bridesmaids and some other stuff. She looks like both of her parents, has her mother's eyes.

[saturnvandel]

[noodles2144]

Beautiful song. I also did not know that she was Maya Rudolph's mother. Talent runs in the family obviously.

[11kful]

did she record this with Charles Stepney? The same Charles Stepney that would unite with certain band to create some of the best music of the mid-70's...something elemental.

[mjjcng8958]

[marklima74]

hairs on my arms go up when the chorus kicks in - brilliant

[Jez32uk]

@marklima74 when the chorus kicks in i just picture Nelson the Fox from BBC3's Mongrels running, Hilarious.

[Rhiorrha]

@Jez32uk That's how I first heard this song. I started dling this series today cuz I heard it was good, and watched the second episode. Any idea what version of "What a difference a day made" the vocals came from when Nelson's runt nephew sang?

[mayena]

Beautiful, etheral and majestic.

[OandNo]

Kiss my petals, weave me through a dream........Mmmm........Beaut­iful <3
