From her 1977 album " Stay In Love"
Minnie Riperton studied classical music as a child and developed a five-octave vocal range and originally intended to become an opera singer. To the world at large, the late Minnie is largely known as the singer of the number one hit "Lovin' You." You know the tune. You've heard it mocked on South Park. You've heard it used in a commercial for Burger King. And if you were listening to pop radio in 1975, you probably got your fair of the song back then too. Though this song was her only big pop hit, it's really just scratches the surface of what Riperton accomplished in her brief career.
Minnie also recorded with Deniece Williams, The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder ('Fulfillingness First Finale', 1974, and 'Ordinary Pain', 1975) and Quincy Jones (lead on 'If I Ever Lose This Heaven' from Body Heat, 1975).

How many Artists can sing a song like this today? It's a classic song. All you singers today please get voice training to learn how use your abs and diaphragm that where the note come from before it hits your throat coming out your mouth or join a church choir.
