I also still have the LP. It actually was recorded well for the mid 70's I used this song as a reference when buying stereo equipment. Strings,vocals and percussion with just the right amount of depth.
@ohd00bley ...and the only problem with the CD is that it's a bootlegged recording, taken directly from a vinyl LP (complete with cracks & pops)...this wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that the hole in the LP is off-center and makes the recording sound like it's dragging (the "wow" effect). I was pretty disappointed; I wish Osamu himself would get hold of the master tapes & release a REAL, REMASTERED version of it. :-(
Minnie had such vocal control 'til it was just ridiculous. I have yet to hear a singer that has that ability to this degree. Man, Minnie was truly amazing!!!
This is unbelievable...I knew Minnie did this in 1977, but I had never heard it until today. Mister Milk..I agree; Minnie really did her thing on this one. The most versatile, flexible,and beautiful voice ever.
Check Minnie out in 'My Cheri Amor,' with Leon Ware & Paulette Williams on lead off Quincy Jones' "Mellow Madness" album. Minnie's backgrounds r amazing.
Wow! When did Minnie do this? I never knew about this. How perfect her voice sounds with the oriental flavor. What a rarity. I want and need more information on how to get a copy of this. FANTASTIC, MINNIE!!!!!!
we always love you Miss Riperton.

This album is now available on CD... and I can retire my snap, crackle and pop LP.
