MINNIE RIPERTON - THE UNTOLD PAINFUL HIDDEN STORY | STEVIE WONDER_RELATIONSHIP😱😱 | MYSTERIOUS DEATH 

💯!!!!

I love this lady ❤❤❤❤❤ nothing but love for her ❤

Even to match I wouldn't do it for respect other artists and crazed fans took her through, I've learned from her real lived experience,we win or learn never lose listening to Jehovah and John 3 16 Jesus!

YES GONE TOO SOON😢

I don't know much about her, but the whole point of being blessed and graced with specifics, isn't for recognition. There is a reason why most will aim to deprive something like recognition l, while ignoring someone for ***who *they are. As depriving someone from/from getting attention is a psychological antic that manipulators will use to mentally bind those that buy into that and want things like that. It's like beyond obvious, that a negative outcome is needed, which is why folk do it. When you have a solid connection to Life ***and the Life that it has extended to you. Your reverence for your existence, doesn't lie in folk and the silly behaviors that they copy and paste for similar results. As it's equivalent to being stuck in a mental cycle based on seeking bottom basement approval/s that lack real substance and drive. As the whole point of living and having Life is to possess and encounter people and things of substance. I'm gonna hope that she didn't allow such pettiness and simpleton behavior to dampen her spirit.

She got the accolades, most definitely and, still do.

You took my comment way too far. I would go further with you on this, but I'm from the old school, so I will let it be.

Don't forget Denise Williams and a host of other women.

Yes, that is my favorite sing of hers ❤. Rest in peace, Queen 🙏🏾🙏🏾

I hope you’re doing well.

​@alexandradillard2077 I am! Thank you for that. I was diagnosed at my first mammogram (age 40). I had to have a unilateral mastectomy. My cancer was hormone receptive and had no genetic precursors. It's so scary. The fact that she didn't crumble and instead spoke out shows the kind of strength Minnie had. ❤

@@Chickentender77922 I get it! I had a scare a couple of years ago when I detected what felt like a lump in my armpit. Before I go on, it is very important to know how to feel for any lumps for possible cancer. Needless to say, when I went to the doctor for a mammogram it was just a clump. But it’s also important to get regular mammograms for early detection. I’m glad you’re doing well 😊!

@@vanessarobinson3437 That would be great!

Minnie Riperton what a diva the voice of angel.R IP

No One 😢

Chante Moore comes close.

@@ellet5693 Chante Moore comes close but doesn't touch Minnie's angelic and soulful voice.

NoLiesDetected!!! Incomparable Minnie Riperton

For Billie Stewart, Bo Diddly to name a few more

@@ikerichardson8510 I heard that, Denise Williams was one of her back up singers

Couldn't agree more!❤️ Glad you enjoyed it

I didn’t know that!

Yes her daughter is so funny. Especially in the movies she play in.

Also in “Loot”

@ohrheeco ...Maya*

She did. Back Down Memory Lane is on her last album. At the end of the song near the fade-out, she is singing "Maya, Maya." That's to her daughter Maya Rudolph

I remember that day I'll never forget 😢

Oh yes I remember that as well 😢

Both of these women are gifted in their own right. Now Ms. Minnie is talented beyond words. Her voice is heavenly. RIP ❤

🤣😂😂😂🤣🙌🏿❣ Good one☝🏿😄❣

Wait was this supposed to be funny I forgot to laugh???.....This comment was so unnecessary Mariah Carey has acknowledged Minnie Ripperton many times in her career ..... This comment is so tastless and also what is wrong sounding like Barry White he is and was very successful and what he does ...... Can you sing? What can you do??? Over here making jokes about people that are more talented than you...... That's what's wrong with y'all folks today y'all are dry hating because your musically challenge and just hearing what other people say and repeating it as facts ....

Omg stop😂😂😂. I absolutely love both of these women. Very talented❤

You know, I thought I was the only one who detected this. You have a great ear!

Great video. I love Minnie Riperton ever since I was a child and heard Loving You for the first time. Thought the album cover with the melting ice cream cone was so cute. When she passed it hit me hard as a kid. I think I never really ever got over it. I admire her and her vocal ability so much. I loved seeing pictures and videos of her that I've haven't seen before. She was such a a musical treasure. ❤️

The bird sounds on "Lovin You", is actual BIRDS that Richard Rudolph and Stevie Wonder recorded at a park... yall make up all kinds of lies without doing the research... RIDICULOUS

It was a real shock! I was in my late teens. I never forget the breaking news. I was in an upward bound summer program and a group of us were in the dorm tv room when it was announced.😢.

​@@alexandradillard2077 Thank you for your reply! Yes it felt strange then & it still does. It doesn't feel fair, but it's so I don't know just strange. Even though she spoke about it, it was a hard pill to swallow when it actually happened. GOD Bless you, take care. 🥰🕊️❤️‍🔥🌹💞

May your mom forever live

Thank u 🙏

She looked at least 45

😊sho u're right I believe she sanged background for Minnie.

Wayne cooper, Prince, and Debarge's voice + Smokey Robinson then Eddie Kendricks had high note voices amongst the men.

Oh, so you were able to see her early in her career. I saw her after her big break, and she didn’t disappoint!

I did too. She did not disappoint!

Man that's powerful 👍🎵🎶🎼

Glad you enjoyed it!❤️

​@@back_to_the_60sYou really did this woman's life and legacy justice. So refreshing to see such a complimentary documentary about a minority music artist keep up the good work. I hope you do more videos of this type of content.

We'll surely do! Glad you enjoyed it!

How so?

@@swannoir7949 Ishtar with her lion. Goddess of fertility. Just like madona at the super bowl

That crooked, no good snake Berry Gordy would've sued Stevie Wonder (and won) if he used his real name producing Minnie Riperton's album. That's money out of Berry Gordy pocket. He couldn't name himself as executive producer since Minnie wasn't on Motown

I too was 5 and I remember the media saying she had cancer and Don Cornelius did a dedication to her on the show Soul Train 🚂 / and our whole house was sad that day / I still play her CD in the kitchen especially on rainbow and rainy days ( " Give Me Time " ) is my favorite rainy day song when im cooking listening to Stevie on the harmonica and watching the rain 🌧️... Goes All the way back to the 1970...miss you so much Ms.Minnie 🥺

It’s so true, but it was never popular back in the day, I wonder why!

@beautyRest1 I'm kinda glad it wasn't bc that album is very special 2 me. It's not a mainstream record 2 me. I can't imagine any song on there being played on the radio, except late night maybe.

I was a teenager when the album first came out and I also thought it was a little strange letting ice cream drip down her hand, but that could’ve been her idea.

Simply put, the cover suggests that your heart would melt like ice cream once you hear her voice...Or the impish look on her face suggests she's burning up inside and only you can put the fire in her out. Take your pick!

It was definitely inuendo - suggestive of something not so innocent. That was the 70's and how it was done - things were hidden in plain sight. A child could pick the album up and see a lady with an ice cream cone - an adult sees something different. I wish music was like that today; most everything is vulgar and trashy.
