FIRST TIME HEARING Minnie Riperton - Inside My Love REACTION

She is the Mama of Maya Rudolph former SNL alumni. When Maya came back to host SNL some years ago, she honored her mother during one of the breaks where they have the still photo of the host. She dressed in the same blue jean jumpsuit holding an ice cream cone like the cover of her mother's album. At that time I don't think alot of people knew Maya was Minnie's daughter & might have missed the tribute unless they knew. You can look it up online to see it. Gives me chills because Minne died of breast cancer when Maya was very young. I think she was 9.

Minnie had a rare vocal gift and her music is otherworldly.

She actually held that last note that long. Magnificent voice.

RIP Minnie Riperton (mother of Maya Rudolph) who was taken by breast cancer at age 31. Her stunning 5 octave range was topped off with her signature whistle register.

J's face when he gets what Minnie is saying hahaha...we all did that the first time bro

One of the sexiest songs ever recorded, Minnie Ripperton was such a shining talent her voice is still unique so many years after her so untimely passing. She left the universe in better shape just by leaving us these timeless classics. ✌️

A sweet lady with an exceptional voice who we lost way too soon. At the end of Lovin' You, she sings "Maya, Maya, Maya" to her little girl who grew up to be Maya Rudolph from SNL and a number of movies.

Minnie's talents were off the charts. One of the best ever, in my opinion. "Back Down Memory Lane" would be my next recommendation of hers.

Minnie is the truth!❤ I cried like a baby when she passed.

This album was produced by Stevie Wonder (who I think had to go under a pseudonym because he was working with Motown) and is a banger! Trust me. The first track 'Reason' is a bit of funk, some rock and soul and is one of my favorites. The album has some wonder arrangements by Wonder

Anytime the great Mariah Carey says nobody could hold a note to you…you know she’s a legend legend

Minnie Riperton is, and always will be, FANTABULOUS. Other favorites of mine by her are "Les Fleurs" and "Reasons". And the lost gem, " It's So Nice (To See Old Friends ", I never tire of. It's got a little country flavor to it. I used to think it was Olivia Newton-John on backing vocals. I've always loved listening to " It's So Nice..." and Olivia's song "Sam" back to back. I just think they sound so nice together! 😊

Won't even deny that this has always been my favorite Minnie Riperton song from the moment I discovered it. "Lovin You" is great, it's obviously a classic & probably the song most people know her for. But this song.. it just has something to it that's so good. Always my fave. Her voice is just phenomenal.

🇬🇧 Minnie had a voice that could shatter glass! RIP Minnie, you were taken too soon. ❤💔🎼🎶

THANK YOU!! This is my FAVORITE song by the divine Minnie Riperton!❤ Next by her Let's Stick Together. Nobody compares to Minnie! RIP, gone way too soon (age 31).

Minnie had a voice that reached a 4 octave whistle range. She was beautiful inside and out. She was taken 😢 away much too soon. So grateful this angel left the gift of music with us.

WOW, AMBER!! :) AMAZING PICKS for FEMALE FRIYAY!!! :) This lady just has NO COMPARISON or REFERENCE to ANYONE ELSE!! Her RANGE is just UNBELIEVABLE!!! LOVE HER!! THANKS, YA'LL!! GREAT to hear THOSE PIPES, AGAIN!! HUGS!

Your aunties love this song! 😆

A sensual bit of music. And she can hit those high notes! You've got to give Roberta Flack's 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.'

Saw Minnie perform in the 70’s. Such a beautiful spirit/song bird!
