Minnie Riperton (Lovin You)

[sailorchibimoon1665]

Sounds like she's in a broadway show

[lilsweeti13]

Ask questions? 

[batmanalienpred]

lmfao i remember this from disturbia

[sastaroo]

One of the most beautiful female voices of all time. And that is an understatement

[ZhouFantastic]

She is so into it guys. She is so into it.

[tonysvids914]

Agrant, I could'nt sleep and it always seems to be I would put either Rotary Connection or The Best of Minnie (2-disc set)on to fall asleep. This certain night, I HAD to see her face again..I search and found the great videos on your page....wishing there was more to see from this angel who was taken from us all too soon. Thank You for making my evenings and fond memories (even seeing her in the closing song in Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club band) movie ending.

[Borneoturtle]

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ayooooooooo American Idol judge will say TETTTTTTTTTTTTTTT ....GET OUT OF HERE!!!! YOU are OUttttttttttttttt

[MrMusikRnb]

@Borneoturtle why is this funny?

[JuicyBeBe1989]

OMG her daughter looks so like her....she is Maya Rudolph the woman from Bridemaids and Grown Ups

[keishafabio]

mmm! hello goosebumps! :D

[amyray63]

She's dead..od on cancer treatments. Only true five octive voice..ri M

[yocam420]

she looks like floyd mayweather

[jasminjune79]

For me, this song is possibly the most beautiful song ever made in the 20th century due to its sheer purity and simplicity and the powerful message it so joyously gives. I hope i can find the kind of love that this song portrays in this life. RIP minnie.

[zea8310]

[lm1204]

These type of pure artistic talent are gone and lost through all the garbage of today, but never to be forgotten

[billnseattle]

The Best!

[johanhellerstedt]

WARNING! Hide the fucking crystalware before listening to this wonderful woman. Cheesus Christ. Shallow lyrics of course but who cares? La lalalala

[Arrooh]

Aw, the way I remember the song. So pretty and I love the birds singing. Light and happy - the whole thing.

Beautiful post! Remember when this song came out and my mother used to sing along. Also serves as a reminder of how a woman with an amazing voice singing from the heart and soul presents herself with dignity, respect, and gorgeous attire as a form of expression.

[zoeytst]

fascinating voice! :D

[TheMegagama]

@zoeytst it makes my eyes sweat :D

[MrCHILDSTAR]

We would suggest Richard Rudolph tell the American People (by way of the Media) that Minnie Riperton covered Loving You, so fans of Loving You can have their say.

[TokStyleMa]

This Song Remindz Me Of That Movie First Sunday..

When Leejon Was Gettin A Massage By A Man Lol

[KuyaBillRomjue]

Beautiful song, wow, I remember watching this on TV back in 74. Good memories of the 1970's.

[ladybug990]

This song is such a classic!!!

[BethGoth15]

I'm eighteen years old now and I haven't heard this song since I was about three. It's so hearing it again! :D

[craigmovieman]

@BethGoth15 it's so hearing it again?

[BethGoth15]

@craigmovieman I meant it's good hearing it again. Give me a break, I'm dyslexic! :P

[JrsyBarry]

The Maya Maya at the end of the voice was her daughter Maya Rudolph of SNL fame! This song was a lullaby that Minnie would sing to her! I remember reading somewhere that Maya's father used to have to play it for the kids after Minnie's death!

[TheRs07]

Loving you is easy 'cause you're beautiful... Ms. Ripperton. Thank you. RIP

[phattieg]

Wow, I mean, wow. Her whistle register is so dead on point at the end of the song, it blows my mind how high she could sing. 5 and a half octaves, that woman had a voice. At the end she sings "Maya Maya Maya" because her daughter is the comedienne Maya Rudolph, from Saturday Night Live... It's such a shame she died at 31 from breast cancer... Makes me sad thinking about it.

[SmokezZ908]

lmao the faces she makes are funny

[alucardbca]

what a pitch of voice!!!!!!! im g¡onna die!!!

[MrCHILDSTAR]

- Minnie Riperton covered Loving You .

[MrCHILDSTAR]

[olliemnu]

[16chobits]

i've been looking for this song like months!!!! but i find it finally

[kingofphilly1985]

I love this song by her. The best love song ever made in music history.

[mprice0920]

Watching this makes me sad.. Her voice is amaizing. I wonder if Maya can hit those notes too. She sings well on Saturday Night live.. RIP Minnie... gone but not forgotten. And Blessings Maya Rudolph... your mom was amazing. Continue her legend.

[elpuestecillo]

@mprice0920 The song of my life, conquiets to my wife listening to this song

[valleart]

So beautiful and amzing, yet cut short in the prime of her life.

[mikaris01]

#1 Amazing singer for real! But did she just drop Mary Had a Little Lamb at the very end?

[MrMusikRnb]

@mikaris01 Yes she did...and wasnt it just beautiful as all getup?

[radioactivenews]

How funny she sings maya, maya, maya at the end of the song. There was a actress on Saturday Night Live name Maya Rudolph.

[imani555]

That her Daughter

[gamey2]

I wish i could marry her .. the most beautiful voice i ever heard

[theresa2319]

so beautiful, so..o missed. minnie no one will or could never take your place or ever have your stylle or voice. r.i.p. beautiful lady: i miss u & will never forget u. your no.1 fan. 12-11-09.

[SonofJaphet]

[enchendoosaco]

gostaria de saber sobre minnie riperton se ela ainda esta viva ou nao , obrigado .

[puzzle93140]

superbe voix, une chanson que je viens seulement de découvrir mais dont je ne me lasse pas... Beautiful !!!!

[risingson00]

wow!!! i ust realized i watched this whole video with a big smile on my face. i have heard the song before, but never saw a live performance. great post!

[peesteID]

perfect <3

[MrCHILDSTAR]

Here you have Minnie Ripperton covering my song in her Voice.

[jonnywood09]

U CAN NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!!!!!!!!!! The control; its with ease. If she is not THE # 1 vocalist that ever lived then Im sorry u dont know music. I cant say enough about this Geniune Lady! Im new school but I know OUTSTANDING singing when I hear it. Get at me Jonnywood09

[lopert]

Minnie is the best with the high notes and the emotion she brings from them.

[AnjosMaciel1]

Maravilha!!!

[Lolo094]

her voice is soooo cute...it juz makes u wana smile

[localibran]

I love part 2:38 with her ''~aaAAAH Seen Your Soul Come Shinin' Through~''.....It's just so sweet & cute! Haha, my mom always makes fun of her on that part, tryin' to mimic & sound like her. Everytime something about Minnie comes up in our home she always says how sad it was when she passed away, escpecially being a fan.

With a voice so sweet & strong & as PURE as HERS, it would be inhuman not to feel the pain of her loss either....

She was definatly very special.

[Krissenko]

Damn she's so pretty but when I get married I wanna have this played when I 1st dance with my wife...

[chesneychez]

Very nice song. When i first heard this song back in the early 90s, it was sung by Shanice and i only knew the original singer of this song is Minnie only few years later.

[msthing57nc]

Minnie wrote this song, and added the last part for her daughter, Maya Rudolph, from Saturday Nite Live. Maya looks so much like her.

[kobracmdr]

She has the kind of voice that reminds me of the shy girl in high school you wanna protect You know that smart girl who is sooo cute but so quite you don't want to approach/ ruin. I don't know. Anyway I love this song and this is something I will play for my kids (sons and daughters) to give them an inkling of what love is like. I only pray it will open up a conversation.

[bloodthreat]

at 37 seconds she sounds like shes dying

[OnlyGreatness007]

Then why are you watching it you dickhead?

[Gainulina]

Класс!!!!

[gabrielalbj]

noooooofa, que música velha.

[jnnfrslghtr]

she has the most beautiful voice!!!!!!!!!!

[bettinakitty]

omg... this is an amazing version of her singing this. I love watching this! Thanks for posting it.

Love you, beautiful Minnie.

[lanuiiohu]

When Minnie died, Michael Jackson sang a 1979 song dedicating Minnie.

[mmemmorry]

Correction, MJ's album "Off The Wall" was released in 1978. The song, "She's Out of My Life" is on this album, and Minnie passed away July 12, 1979. It was 30 yrs. ago today. God Bless her family!!!

[funtymetoys]

She was the first singer I cried for when she died I was 18 then,Her voice was nothing like it ever again!!

[MsMerising]

They did a post-humous duet on Minnie's "Love Lives Forever" album. The song is titled "I'm In Love Again" :)

R.I.P. Perfect Angel & King of Pop. Damn heaven's concerts must be off the chain these days!!

[cabugaobeach]

Thanks Mr. Grant. I sooooooooooo love it. I used to sing this song when I was much younger even in front of my classmates during our music class. Of course, I did not have the pitch of voice she had. But my my unsuspecting classmates who never heard of the song before I sang it in front of them thought I did a nice job. Keep posting. Enjoyed the dinner at Dave Wong.

[agrant06]

I know. You have a wonderful voice. I"m sure the pitch was just fine, it was too high for them to detect...LOL

[jennandlexi12]

oh golly those high notes......

[ShaolinPrince718]

she talkin bout maya rudolph (from snl), her daughter lol

[athenashawnee729]

Maya is her daughter

[lamok74]

Maya here is the Philippines is a kind of bird....

[allensindhaus]

Damn, such a divine singer

[bigruss813]

dam yo she gives me that feeling when shes says......and everytime that we ohhh im more in love wit you....perfect sound

[antyfreeman2008]

3:26 - she moves me sooo much with this FLAWLESS performance & vocal.

Mariah Carey owes her so much homage!

[MsMerising]

You know? Beautiful tone, immaculate control, overflowing passion, personal lyrics she just emotes. Eternal goosebumps. Myffriend was in her band and got to listen to this every night - I am sooo jealous :)

[buttercomplex]

Her man had her sprung for real.

[MsMerising]

And vice versa. Every photo you see of them he can't keep his hands off her :)

[buttercomplex]

I know that's right, they really had true love.

[MsMerising]

This is the most spectacular version I have ever had the pleasure of seeing Minnie sing.

After reading all the comments I have this to offer as an interpretation - that the song was inspired from the love Minnie shared in every conceivable way with her Beloved (Richard) and Maya's life followed from that love hence 'Maya, Maya' echoing the end...love brings forth new life in the lovers and through the lovers :)

[millyjeezay]

YES! Everyone doesn't get that either!!! Maya means God's creative power or Mya which means Divine creative force in everything and is of hindu origin. You are the ONLY one on here that has thought of this...other than me...lol

[MsMerising]

Well, I didn't take it that far and doubt Minnie did, either (I am currently writing articles on the making of her albums :).

But she did co-write a beautiful love song about her relationship with Richard and towards the end of it sang a tribute to her little girl who came forth from that union. She called Marc's name in "No Matter Where You Are" as well.

[LuvNU75]

Minnie's brother, Ricardo Riperton, a musical genius, had a part in Maya's name--I know her middle name, Khabira, came from him.

[MsMerising]

Do you know SunDown Lady? If so, tell her to resurrect MRLPS. I email her a couple times a year but she just ignores me now :)

[anyabwile12]

i luv you minnie! rest in peace with YHWH angel. . . . . . .

[sugamoma8]

sooooo beautiful voice is so angelic

[GoldenPr0mIse]

LALALALLA :D

[miisiaak]

sie war so jung, als sie starb... wirklich schade

[seyidahmed]

Rest in Peace, my Sister. Ra7matullah 3laykee.

[agrant06]

I wanted to remind everyone to tune in to TV1 broadcast of Unsung featuring Minnie Riperton that will air on June 7th 8:00 Eastern time. I know you Minnie fans will enjoy it very much. Many thanks to SadeO

[devilander]

[MrTOT7]

[ivodinegro]

[hipowerz]

your all missing the essentials of what she and the music was about. this lady is truly an angel here for just a minute to visist and grace us with such melodies. oh did you notice the flower in her hair representing the nature of the earth ,god bless you mortals keep debating over small things and missing out on it all...

[ghiberti]

Mary had a little lamb in Whistle! =) Ms. Riperton is AWESOME!

[tyoonz]

@ghiberti I agree! That's so playfully cute that you almost forget how technically dazzling it really is! Such control up in the super flageolet register!

[royal011]

At the end of the song she is singing her daughter's name "Maya, maya"... so sad... Maya Rudolph, her daughter, was only 6 year old when Minnie died from a breast cancer...

[Pinwormx]

Wow!

[KaptinKrunck]

wow at the end she whistled with her mouth closed....kool

[robin14669]

I have the feeling that she was a very sweet woman.

[TheYoungfader]

PAURA!!!

[mauvezonemagick]

[killaht0215]

[musicdragon75]

I adore Minnie. What a beautiful woman, and i love the afro. it's my new favorite hairstyle! I just got my Perfect Angel/Adventures in Paradise cd and i've been KILLING it. Just like i listened to the Come to my Garden cd. Go get that cd! R.I.P Minnie I love her so much.

[hipowerz]

i glad you like the afro,but it was much more than a hair style it was a voice of the peopleworn in protest durings the late 60s .thats for free no charge.

[79disco]

BEAUTIFUL song! :)

[MikeSte2000]

whoa, she sounds like an angel.

[LuvNU75]

Heads up! In June, TV-ONE is airing a one-hour documentary on the life of Minnie Riperton. Finally !!! Minnie gets some much deserved recognition. We have waited 30 years for this!!!

[panxosolis]

yeah!!!!

OMG i can't wait!!!!!

[iriear]

Great News...A movie should've already been made about her life. The Grammy board should've honored her already and BET Soultrain Essence...should've recognized her great contributions, so hats off to TVONE for doing the just thing.

[tyoonz]

Please, PLEASE keep us posted on this!! It still amazes me to hear the astounding control Minnie had of her voice! I must confess that I'm not familiar with TV-ONE, but I'm thrilled to hear about this upcoming show.

[LuvNU75]

Sunday June 7th @ 8:00pm is the first airing of Minnie Riperton Unsung on TV ONE.

[gangel68]

de verdad quede impactado huao

[rlegear19]

at risk of losing my man card , i confess that i have always really liked this song.

[GaryNull]

who cares what people think, . . .

I'm willing to bet you like Karen Carptenter too . .

Checkout her videos. She kicks ass on the drums too.

[sagittariusrising74]

it's beautiful to just watch her...to watch her uplift her voice with out any thoughts of effort....minnie riperton is the truth...a gift.

[dwoook]

[AMAZONAX]

[gamey2]

The true black woman :)

[Maxcleanaccount]

making love can mean anything, it's not only a sexual reference you sick fuck. the song was meant like a lullaby for Maya but the lyrics are quite open leaving it accessable to anyone to relate to...........

[maliqueB]

Rip beutiful voice

[CRyyY1992]

I love u Minnie RIP

[jetit]

The song is About her Husband..not her Daughter . When she wrote the song it was About love. her Daughter was always with her in the studio. so when she recorded the song she Added Maya at the End. and it is her Daughters, fav song.

[inkybinky786]

annoying fucks like u that ruin utube

[tess6666]

maybe she liked to finger her daughter maya...?

[jetit]

Dumb

[malak91l]

i think this song is so funny. randomly, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhh! (high note, maybe too high)

[jetit]

see if you can hit it..lol I think not

[Jensfamouslastwords]

This song touches my heart.

[WarningZephyr]

She is like, the Chuck Norris of singing.

[Joannexxx]

Who is Chuck Norris?
