    This video was slightly shortened. At the end, when she's singing "Maya, Maya, Maya, Maya", she was singing to her daughter, Maya Rudolph. Sadly, Minnie died due to breast cancer at 31 in 1979.

    The loud thud of your jaw hitting the floor, was the same for us in 75. A few buddies & I were in my garage working on my cars engine. The radio was playing & this song came on. When Minnie hit those notes, we just stopped & our jaws hit the floor too. Her voice was a gift.

    As others have mention, Minnie Riperton passed away far too soon. She passed away only about four years after releasing this song. She was not only the mother to Maya Rudolph, but the wife to mega-producer Richard Rudolph. This song was covered wonderfully by Shanice Wilson.

    Yeah, altogether now: “Her Voice!” I can attest that when this song first hit the radio, there was a huge buzz on campus- no one had ever heard anything close to this… it seemed unreal, but this was the 70’s before “faking it” was even possible. An amazing track that left a permanent impression. Thanks for the request and the 100% predictable reaction!!!

    I was a senior in High School in Detroit in 1975. I remember when Minnie Riperton released "Perfect Angel" The first time I heard "Lovin You I was driving in my Mom's Pontiac Grand Safari wagon totally stoned. When this song came on, I had to pull over and turn the radio up. Closed my eyes and I was transported to a spring day in the dead of winter. She just made you want to be in love with someone right at that moment. This was the wedding song for the rest of the 1970's. Sadly Minnie died 4 years after this release. She was a "perfect Angel"

    The original whistle stop vocal technique Queen. Minnie Riperton possessed a four octave vocal range and could effortlessly whistle stop a note without thinking about it. I remember seeing her on Soul Train right after Diana Ross performed and the audience went crazy. Truly a voice that was like nothing we had ever heard before and gone too soon. Sadly she had just finished her last album and she was tired and laid in her husband's arms and passed away. RIP Minnie Riperton 🎵🎵🎵🙏😇

    The late, great Minnie Riperton (1947-1979) co-wrote this 1976 hit song with her husband (Richard Rudolph), who's seen playing the guitar in the background of the video. It's not only a love song directed at a romantic partner but also a love letter to their young daughter, the future comedic actress Maya Rudolph, who was born in 1972 after they had started working on it. Minnie can be heard singing Maya's name at the end. Stevie Wonder co-produced the track with Minnie's husband Richard Rudolph.

    This song was Minnie Riperton's one and only Top 40 crossover hit of her career. The song went all the way to hit the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the spring of 1975. Stevie Wonder wrote and co-produced this song with Minnie's husband, singer-songwriter Richard Rudolph. Minnie's daughter, the great comic-actress Maya Rudolph is probably proud of her mother's achievement in pop music in the 1970s. This song is a beautiful song indeed. RIP Ms. Minnie

It stops automatically at like nine stops along the way but at that late time of night, no one was getting on. For some reason, my friend decided she was going to sing this song! And she was good! Couldn't hit "THOSE" notes, of course, but a good version. She got so into it that she didn't notice three older guys actually DID get on the train at the last stop before the end. As she finished, they all applauded and she was SO embarrassed! But she shouldn't have been! Tough song to sing and she did great! Especially since it came out 8 years before she was even born!
