A long forgotten song of my childhood. Gosh! I can't believe I've lived w/o this song for 30 years. So glad to have it back! Minnie was so sexy. Some may say she wasn't pretty but she was sexy as heck! Go MINNIE!
SO MANY THANKS TO WHO EVER've put this extraordinnary number here. I've been listening to it since 1978 but 've lost the album last year and could'nt find it
Talib did this song so much justice. Its great to see that happen in hip-hop, I feel like it gives the culture more respect from non hip-hop fans when it takes a great song and just adds to it.
I want that photo!!!!! Where can I find it? :) It's beggin to be on my wall. And Minnie always pleases the ears, THE baddest thing to come outta soul music
WOW this has such a rugged feel to it wow instantly inspired to get on some rugged stuff...still gonna keep looking for more jamz though to sample...check the rhime is totally doin this trak justice...PAYIN HOMAGE TO THA GREATS, -R.I.M.E.
such an extraordinary lady. Miss her so much. Those high notes!! No one will ever replace her. One of a kind style and class.

Beautiful song, by the way, especially the ending. "Baby I'm trying to show you that I love you. Baby I'm trying to show you that I care!" :)
