Minnie even sings Maya’s name at the end of the song. She does it 8 times ( I went and counted as I have the song saved on my phone) A truly wonderful tribute to her daughter and Maya repaid it with wonderful photos.
Minnie Ripperton can't be touched. No one sings like she could, although they all try. She's one of the most underrated voices, and she's one of the best we ever had.
Because she never ever talks about Mom and when she's asked about her mom during interviews she hardly has anything to say, just talking in circles. So disappointing. Minni's Son and Widower husband are the ones who Really pays tribute to Minnie Riperton. Sometimes I wish they were the Famous ones because Maya has done nothing for her mother's Legacy at all.
Maya is more private about her relationship with her mother. She isn't obligated to pay tribute to her deceased mother publicly. She named her daughter after her. Who knew....not our business 🤔 👀
The pain is sometimes overbearing. I lost my mom to cancer at age 14. I can only imagine the confusion &pain of losing a mom at 8. GOD bless you & your dearly departed mom.🕊️🙏🏾💕
Minnie is my absolute QUEEN. Her every song, just overflowing with pure soul. Rumored to be Stevie Wonders favourite singer too, her angelic otherworldly voice is utterly unmatched.
Omg!! No kidding! I graduated HS in 76, this song was so beautiful and popular. Only song where EVERYONE had to lip sinc her high notes. Only she could pull that off
I was on the city bus listening to the radio when the announcer pronounced her dead. Everyone, I mean everyone cried aloud for her and her family. We all talked amongst each other and sang Minnie's praises. She will forever be missed and loved. Maya Rudolph is one of the greatest comedienne's.
I always loved Minnie Riperton as an artist and was saddened in regards to her death. However, through the years I’ve always wonder why no one hadn’t written about Minnie’s life along with producing a movie. Minnie sang so many love songs and that could be the premise of the her story!!!!
So many fond memories, thinking back to the day when the music industry lost a beautiful, talented and gifted songbird, name Minnie Riperton, and the last time she appeared on "Soul Train" and then the Legendary Mr. Steve Wonder paying a beautiful tribute to her on "Soul Train" with Mr. Don Cornelius. it was a very sad day, so 💔 heartbreaking, especially leaving behind her lovely and loving family. I still remember buying her album LP and then not too long after that she had passed away,😢 I can still remember reading about her in Ebony and Jet magazines back in the late 70's. Lovin' You and Memory Lane were two of her main hit songs. It's so nice to see her adult children are doing so well, raised up by their father. She would've been so very proud of her son and daughter snd grandchildren. May her spirit and legacy continue to live through her music. May the Iconic Legendary Ms. Minnie Riperton continue to Rest In Paradise! She was the "Perfect Angel" ❤❤🥰💯👑🏆🎤🎵🎊😇👌🙌🙏
You should've said that Minnie Riperton died from breast cancer. Some may not know that. I had to look up who is El Torro Negro. It was her producer Stevie Wonder. I don't think of Stevie when I think of Minnie, I think of her song 'Loving You.' Her voice was like an angel. By the way Maya Rudolph is not only a comedian and actress. She also sings with a friend Gretchen Lieberum in a group named Princess. They are a cover band called Princess. I have seen them perform live and they are so funny and talented. They're both big fans of Prince. Maya has met Prince and even at an after-party with huge stars Prince was performing and many famous actors were up there on mics singing along with him and Maya was one of the ones who got to sing with Prince. 💜💜💜💜
I was a fan of Minnie's and I'm a fan of Maya as well. One of the most touching things I remember about Maya returning to guest host SNL was when they showed the bumper slide of Maya recreating the "Perfect Angel" LP cover where she was in coveralls and holding the ice cream cone ❤.
Maya is one of my favorite comedies and to know that her mother was Minnie Riperton. That is awesome. I grew up listening to her music. I loved Minnie Riperton and that’s why I love Maya. She’s a wonderful comedian. God bless you girl😃.
I lived right around the corner from them In Englewood NJ.. saw Minnie a couple times then my first year in high school she passed away. I too had a black mother and a non black father. So we were rare at that time! 😢😊❤
Losing her mom at a young age may have given Maya her humor because it usually comes from a dark place or trauma at a young age. Beautiful just like her Mama. 😊
I HEARD THIS STORY BEFORE. IT IS BOTH BEAUTIFUL AND SAD. IT IS BEAUTIFUL HOW CLOSE AND LOVING THE FAMILY WAS, IT WAS SAD HOW YOUNG MAYA AND HER BROTHER WERE WHEN THEIR MOM DIED AND HOW YOUNG THEIR .OTHER WAS WHEN SHE LOST HER BATTLE WITH BREAST CANCER.❤❤❤
Maya is one of the most uniquely beautiful women in Hollywood. Absolutely gorgeous and not at all cookie cutter. Not to mention she’s friggen hilarious😂 Love that combo❤
Maya CAN actually sing but does not do it seriously in public because she does not want to be compared to her mother. I heard glimmers of her lovely voice when she backed up D’Angelo in a Prince tribute. I wont compare you , Maya. It was just a privilege to hear you, sis.

This was part three, hopefully you’ve gone back and seen part 1 & 2
Really!!!
I have to listen for Maya's name.
that's right
@@NiKiMa023 Yes I did, thank you.
I just get so moved at Minnie dining her daughter’s name in that song.
Which song is that?
Minnie Ripperton can't be touched. No one sings like she could, although they all try. She's one of the most underrated voices, and she's one of the best we ever had.
They were a very beautiful couple. Maya is a comedic goddess. Her mama would have been so proud.
Of course she would she followed in her tracks right down to the wire her husband looks old enough to be her granddaddy.
I absolutely love Mya Rudolph. She’s so funny. ❤
I never new that was her mom❤️thank you for sharing
Me either, wow❤
Also Lenny kravitzs mom? She was famous too
Because she never ever talks about Mom and when she's asked about her mom during interviews she hardly has anything to say, just talking in circles. So disappointing.

@enigma9625 Lenny's mom was Roxy Roker. She was the black actress on the Jeffersons, and weatherman Al Roker is his cousin 😊
Maya is more private about her relationship with her mother. She isn't obligated to pay tribute to her deceased mother publicly. She named her daughter after her. Who knew....not our business 🤔 👀
Back down memory lane. My best friend loved her and cried like a baby when she passed. We were very young probably around 8 years old
@Ashim023-Love Love that song❤
Have the record and cry every time I listen to it.
Me too
Wow. I cried too. Cried like I knew her. I was just a kid also. 😭
Her voice was Angelic. Just Beautiful.
She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice ❤😊🌺🦋💐🕊
I lost my mom when I was 8. You never recover.
The pain is sometimes overbearing. I lost my mom to cancer at age 14. I can only imagine the confusion &pain of losing a mom at 8. GOD bless you & your dearly departed mom.🕊️🙏🏾💕

I totally remember that everyone I knew cried.

I agree. That would be a wonderful story to tell the whole world 🌎. Her voice was very beautiful.

♥️Minnie Ripperton🌹
THANKS!! MINNIE A VERY
TALENTED LENGEND❤RIP
Maya CAN actually sing but does not do it seriously in public because she does not want to be compared to her mother. I heard glimmers of her lovely voice when she backed up D’Angelo in a Prince tribute. I wont compare you , Maya. It was just a privilege to hear you, sis.
Minnie was a beautiful woman and lovely Lady.
No way! I just watched a hilarious SNL skit with Maya Rudolph singing and was going to google her but got distracted. Then this comes on my feed. 😮
She looks like both of her parents!❤
Blessings of remembrance to a beautiful Songbird❤😮😢❤❤ in the Lord Jesus
Dang ¡! Maya really looks like her mother, i think 😮😮
