  • @porgynbess i thought the exact same thing..uncanny resemblance.

  • @xxsweetnsour49xx  episode*** ♥

  • this was so Beautiful. such a wonderful episide. RIP Minnie you will Never be forgotten. ♥♥♥

  • @andenisa Chante Moore is another who is pretty close in range to Minnie, but also very underrated (in my opinion), many of my friends who are older than I am didn't even know she could sing in the whistle register.

  • Minnie Rippleton to this day has never been surpassed in her talent vocally. To have inspired artist like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston etc, long after her death is nothing short of extraordinary. Few people know she is in the Guinness book of records. There is a common thread in the music industry that, ”You can only guess what you think, the world wants to hear.” I think the fact that she was in an interracial marriage and that being exposed during her last two albums. RIP Minnie

  • @he2tazzy4u I know the feeling i was devistated when she passed.i would take my allowance and on saturday go to this juke joint called ms.lillies,and spend practicallly all my money in the juke box

  • She was before my time but I learned of her through my cool uncles album collection. My favorite song of hers was "Here we go".

  • When she was singing "Back Down Memory Lane", my soul was crying! I lost it! You just knew it was the end for her. Her voice was one of kind... Beautiful woman.

  • @shesodior Doesn't Maya look just like her?

  • Beautiful music made by a beautiful woman!
