The last few notes, she sings Maya, Maya, Maya, This was for her new daughter, Maya Rudolph. (SNL, etc.)

@jmclen7 3 месяца назад

Yes. Maya was a baby. She was singing this song to her baby. Blew my mind when I first learned that. This beautiful song and her untimely death is always a little too much for me to take. What a song!

@htim8997 3 месяца назад

"She's singing it so different!" That's why The Midnight Special was(is!) so great! Never apologize for doing a Midnight Special version.

@waynewright6979 3 месяца назад

I can only imagine the thousands of quiet moments when Maya would listen as her mother spoke to her spirit. Such a tragedy of early demise, such a powerfully sweet gift to a still enraptured audience. Minnie Riperton, still ‘Loving You.’

@johnhextall1136 3 месяца назад

She was bigger than you think. She sang backing vocals for Stevie Wonder then released at least 2 lovely albums. Lovin’ You was her biggest hit but she did have several others. We all loved her and were heart broken when she passed.

@jamesgeorge5276 3 месяца назад

" Back down memory lane" was another hit by her, this was her last hit song right before she passed away from cancer in the summer of 1979.😔

@azedel7151 3 месяца назад

So sweet how she incorporated her daughter's name into the song. What a treasure for Maya to have.

@glenngotling657 3 месяца назад

She was very big when this record came out and yes - she has other songs that are very good too. Sadly she passed away from breast cancer only a few years after this song came out at the age of only 31. She sings her daughter's name Maya at the end of the song. I bought her "Perfect Angel" album when it first came out after hearing "Loving you" on the radio - I was captured. The title track Perfect Angel is another favorite of mine. Another good one on that album is Reasons.

@jimshorts6751 3 месяца назад

The high note she hits raises the hair on my neck.

@ahs1723 3 месяца назад

The stacked-bell instrument is called a "bell tree". She did have other R&B and funk songs, and undoubtedly would have had many more hits if her career hadn't been cut short by breast cancer when she was 32. But what a legacy she left us!

@johnniekight1879 3 месяца назад

She started out with the band Rotary Connection. They did some incredible versions of some great songs.

@battlegirldeb 3 месяца назад

Minnie was one of the best singers out there. She is your favorite singer favorite singer and the one many try to sing like. Unfortunately, Minnie died of an aggressive form of breast cancer when she was 31 when her daughter Maya was 8 and her brother 11.

@revdp2010 3 месяца назад

Your reaction to this performance exemplifies why going to see a concert back in the day was so special. Artist often incorporated changes sometimes subtle and sometimes huge on their live performances. Much of it was made possible because the artists were actually singing or playing their instrument. Their talent was on full display in live events.

@revdp2010 3 месяца назад

I stand corrected. This single was featured on the Perfect Angel album. But the look, set, and wardrobe are from Adventures in Paradise.

@sandramoore 3 месяца назад

I could listen to this song every day for life. I could never tire of her lilting, bird-like vocals. I've loved this since the 1970's. There are some singers who use the whistle tone to show off. They are imitating the queen. Minnie Riperton sang this so effortlessly it makes me smile. So sad that Maya Rudolph lost her mother too soon. The world lost a magical voice. She must be singing with the angels now.

@billmavin6203 7 дней назад

I read that Maya's greatest regret was that her 2 daughters did not get to meet their grandma shetinks it would be perfect love on all sides

@firerox4474 3 месяца назад

I used to listen to this over and over and over....I loved Minnie so much, the good Lord took her away too soon. Many artists have emulated her, but none really compare. She was an Angel Cancer is a horrible way to go.

@seesee61 3 месяца назад

I don't think she had another hit as big as this one... and she died in 1979, so the world lost that beautiful voice way too soon...

@lepoetress 3 месяца назад

She could saaaaaaaaaannng, and that last note tho ........ my heartbroke when she died. I was in elementary school when she passed. I worried about her kids, how were they going to make it with out her. They turned out just fine, but as a kid, I was sad because they didn't have a mom. RIP Minnie Ripperton

@roszyknuke 3 месяца назад

Gosh this was beautiful. I remember this song from radio airplay but I've never heard this version. Thank you for bringing this to us.

@niquette65 3 месяца назад

She had lots of beautiful hits. Inside my Love, Memory Lane, Adventures in Paradise, Here We Go, Lover and Friend, Woman of Heart and Mind (written by Joni Mitchell) and many more.

@iainsimpson1836 3 месяца назад

for someone to actually be able to sing words in the whistle register, as she did at the beginning, is just simply amazing.

@glenniekiwi 3 месяца назад

It's like your sitting in an English 16th century Forrest....green grass and a garden full of fairies.....damn that high note is next level....peace and love to all.

@revdp2010 3 месяца назад

Her wardrobe for this song reflects the art from the album "Adventures in Paradise". This was the top single from that album. Also if you go back and listen you'll hear many of the percussion instruments and even the bird singing in the original.

@tinaallen512 3 месяца назад

This is the unedited long version of the record but when played on radiany station managers cut the ending off to make way for advertising and some believe possible religious content when she repeated her daughter's name.She completed 2 albums before developing metastatic breast cancer and was one of first woman to announce her diagnosis to public resting with other angels now.

@cbreez40 3 месяца назад

Thank you for this. I've seen this performance so many times and each time is like the first...

@fiddiehacked 3 месяца назад

Those high notes are not falsetto, but are actually in the Whistle Register. Wikipedia actually has a picture of Minnie as a top example! "The physiology of the whistle register is the least understood of the vocal registers. Unlike other types of vocal production, it is difficult to film the vocal cords while they are operating in this manner..., vibration occurs only in some anterior portion of the vocal folds. This shorter vibrating length naturally allows for easier production of high pitches." Sounds to me that Minnie is using harmonics similar to a stringed instrument (like the guitar). Amazing!

@MoMoMyPup10 3 месяца назад

This LIVE version is _made better_ by the fact that you know the song and can appreciate her Live nuance. Without knowing it, it would just be cool that she did it this way, but you wouldn't understand the nuances. That's the whole point we have about Live vs. Studio

@strider8933 2 месяца назад

I have to say, watching you react to the very songs of my youth, I am in agreement with you. I felt the same 50 years ago. With respect, smooches. This was from "Midnight Special" , a Saturday night music show

@harpergras 3 месяца назад

One of the all-time great singers who left us too soon. R.I.P Minnie. And yes Maya Rudolph is her Daughter. She also has a son name Marc Rudolph. Her husband's name is Richard Rudolph.

always thought the original was unreal...but this version.. man, she sure hit some notes, I've never heard before...unbelievable , pretty sure she died a heap of years ago...like way back just after this song still in the 70s

@jacketjim1 3 месяца назад

Amazing vocals by Minnie, thank you for the reaction video. You have a wonderful talent for tapping into any song and conveying the emotional feel: John Lennon’s “Mother,” Harry Chapin’s “Taxi.” But yeah, love Minnie. We lost her too soon.

That last note

@Russ_Keith 3 месяца назад

This song was a bolt from the blue when it dropped. It was my introduction to Minnie Ripperton. It's always paired in my mind with the song "Free" by Deniece Williams because it came out around the same time and had the same mellow vibe and vocal register (minus the whistle tones). I have 7 albums by Minnie including "Love Lives Forever " released posthumosly in 1980 and 2 Best of collections. She couldn't produce more because of her death in 1979 from cancer. My favourite album is her third, "Stay in Love" from 1977, probably because it's the first of her albums I bought, and my favourtite track is the opener "Young, Willing and Able" which is a funkier song that is followed by the mellower "Could it Be I'm in Love" which is closer in feel to "Lovin' You". Only 5 albums spanning 10 years. A huge loss but a legacy that we can be grateful for.

@Cobalt-Jester 2 месяца назад

There is a well known thing that she is known for... Back in the days they printed the words of the songs in a vinyl insert or in a cassette inlay... In the lyrics of that song she sings "'Coz you're beautiful"... The first ever use of "Coz" meaning 'because'.

@Zebred2001 3 месяца назад

Back when everyone was understandably wowed by Mariah Careys high notes I could imagine Minnie Riperton saying "Hold my beer!"

@ronalddelrosario7405 28 дней назад

I'd forgotten the last part of this performance. I dunno if that was the highest sung note ever, but it's the highest I've ever heard. And again, it seems so freaking effortless. Minnie Riperton has gotta be one of the greatest singers ever...

@dvus1977 3 месяца назад

As others have written, Minnie sadly left us too early due to Cancer. She was a Classically trained Vocalist with a Focus on Opera. In the Late 60s she Joined a Little known Up and Coming Electro -Funk Soul Band called, The Rotary Connection. They made some awesome, Psychedelic type tracks along with a variety of soundscapes that set them apart. She later went solo in the early 70s , released an album or two (can't remember 2 well) until she caught the Ear & Attention of Stevie Wonder. He fell in Love with her talent and Voice and offered to produce her next album (Perfect Angel) . This song is from that Album, along with another hit the 1st lead track, Reasons (which FYI has an Amazing Live Performance on Soul Train 😉) - Inside My Love - Memory Lane - Adventures in Paradise - Baby,This Love I Have - Les Fleurs & Lastly a Personal fave of mine from her days with The Rotary Connection, Turn Me On. Interestingly enough Solange (Beyonce's sister) samples part of this song in her 2019 album ,When I Get Home.

@DawnGarciaSookieMae 3 месяца назад

@LisaC.-mebugyou 3 месяца назад

She really meant that or just a great performer or perhaps just a bit of both combined - amazing

@justwondering5651 3 месяца назад

Minnie could hit those notes because she had an incredible five octave vocal range. It always amazed me when she hit those high notes is perfect tune. But that last note in this video, what a surprise, that's not on the recorded song. My jaw dropped then I looked to see your jaw dropped too. And I betcha that Minnie knew everybody was going to have that reaction. I had to rewind just to hear that again. I guess when you're that good you can get away with showing off like that. :)

@TonyRom257 3 месяца назад

One of my top fav songs ever.... I remember watching this episode in '75. Lovely reaction!

@alanoakley3242 3 месяца назад

Minnie Riperton had another minor hit with a song called "Inside My Love", which you may have heard without realising it if you've seen the 1998 Tarantino movie, Jackie Brown. But before she was Minnie Riperton solo artist she sang background on a few hits and was in a psychedelic soul band known as Rotary Connection. She also collaborated with Stevie Wonder, who produced her most successful album and invited her to sing on tracks for his Fulfillingness' First Finale and Songs in the Key of Life shortly before she was diagnosed as terminally ill.

@renee176 3 месяца назад

I love Mini Rippleton's voice! If you like whistle tones, check out the live version of Lisa Fisher, singing "How can I Ease the Pain". She's singing live in Concert (Japan 1992) and it will blow your mind! You would never know she didn't like being up front and would have rather have stayed in the background. She sang background for some very famous people.😊

@sharonmincey6023 3 месяца назад

Brit thank you so much. You said you grew up listening to this song. But were you old enough to have heard her sensually iconic "INSIDE MY LOVE"? Minnie sang 3 songs on the Midnight Special that morning. And that one was her finally. Including a 16-18 second WHISTLE. Still makes me emotional today.

How does Minnie sing and hit those high notes so effortlessly? Hey, it's a GOD given Gift and Blessing. I miss Minnie so much; she was a Phenomenal Woman and Singer. Maya can sang, too y'all, although she admitted on an interview that she can't compare to her mom, and how she just thinks her mom was a great and awesome singer a one of a kind. Maya is great too! Michael Jackson, once wrote a song for Minnie Riperton called, 'I'm in Love Again' and Minnie hits those beautiful angelic high notes. Also, Minnie's song 'Back Down Memory Lane' which was a hit and came out 2 months before she passed away.

@UpliftedNow 3 месяца назад
