Minnie was absolutely in a league of her own. Unfortunately Minnie died in 1979 at the age of 31 from breast cancer. She left us a beautiful memory.
Yes. Her death was so tragic. She did bring beauty into this world in her short life, though.
Beautifully said
And a beautiful and funny daughter, Maya Rudolph.
@@lisahumphries3898 Maya was only 6 years old when her mommy died 😔
@@nathalieplum2137 The scatting she is saying Maya Maya her daughter's name.
That "scatting" at the very end was her saying, "Maya, Maya, Maya, Maya." As others said below, she wrote it for her daughter, the wonderful Maya Rudolph. I'm glad Maya has this as a reminder of how much her mother loved her.
I can't picture her writing this song for her daughter though. She says "Makin' love to you....".....and that line "and everytime that we...Ooooooo.." .
She didn't write it about or for Maya, but according to an interview with Maya, Maya was in the recording studio that day and Minnie ad libbed that when she looked over and saw Maya watching her on the other side of the sound-proof glass with the sound engineer.
@@grannysgonerabid7425 interesting. Thank you!
@@jennytalks5882 yeah I think Maya said she was like 5 or 6 at the time. Just a little kid.
If I’m not mistaken Steve Wonder wrote this for her
She had a 5 octave range! That’s so rare and amazing!
One thing about Minnie's beautiful soul is when she sings you truly believe that she means what she's saying. She died way too young.
Minnie was doing whistle notes long before Mariah and Ariana. But she doesn’t get the credit!! She is the freaking OG!!!!
Because she died so early, that's why
Of course, she is older and died way before Ariana was even born. I don’t agree that she doesn’t get recognition.
Watch the vid: 'Who sang the legendary whistle notes the best in Loving you the best'.. Yes Minnie R. got the credits. She was awesome. Edit: Minnie is the first and last person singing....in the last clip........WOW !!!
She is (for me) the OG in whistle notes
Also, Betty Wright -- long b4 Mariah and Ariana.
"Stay with me while we grow old and we will live each day in springtime"
As a dad with a young daughter, that is the part of the song that gets me emotional every damn time. Minnie Ripperton was blessed with so much in life except for the gift of time. Maya should be so proud of her mom. "Maya Maya Maya Maya ..."
I found a live performance and she not only hit that note, she hit two notes higher! 😳😮
i love that performance
Yeah they watch the wrong version of the performance. Someone cut the end before she did that part. It's a shame they missed out!
@@lilk4812 On a lot of their reactions they picked the wrong recording especially when they do the live ones that take away from the recording.. like they did Boz Scaggs "Dirty Lowdown" live and it sound nothing like the record. I pleaded with them to play it again but the record not the live version. The record sound a thousand times better than live.
@@empire7179 Same with Whiter Shade Of Pale by Procul Harum. They watched the live version and loved it, but I think you need to listen to the production of the studio first.
Hey husband, the one playing guitar, wrote the song for her. It was his love song to her. She was dying from breast cancer during the recording of the video. She fought on for 3 or 4 more years, loss the use of her right arm to cancer but kept singing on stage and TV. She sang and did an interview on the Merv Griffen show 4 days before she was bed ridden and 3 weeks before she died. She wasn't able to walk on her own at that point and had to be helped on to the stage to sing two song for Merv. 31...WAY too young. F-cancer...
thats sad definitely f cancer her voice was so calming 🤦🏽♂️
Oh wow! Didn't know that was her husband. Thanks for that!
She hits those notes so effortlessly! Agree she was lost to us way too soon!
Such a sweet song and voice, and her daughter, Maya Rudolph, is also very talented.
Yes she is an absolutely amazing and talented comedian/Actress but she can sang too.
In her song "Inside My Love" she holds that note for over 20 seconds. It's amazing. She was a one of a kind voice that we may never hear the equal of.
Gotta listen to the album version of "Inside my Love" she holds that whistle note a little more than 22 seconds. It's beyond amazing.
Oh yes! Minnie just knocked it out of the park on that note!!!@@dodster11
She was a once in two lifetime voices. Her whistle notes are the strongest ever recorded. One music mogul once said Minnie riperton could sing Barbara Streisand under the table. That speaks volumes because Streisand is no slouch
Maya Maya at the end is her singing to her baby daughter Maya Rudolph.
She goes to an even higher note when she performs this live on the "Midnight Special" show. Speaking of angel, this song is from her album "Perfect Angel."
He voice was absolutely gorgeous. She was taken too soon. Her daughter *Maya Rudolph* (SNL) carries on the legacy of entertainment with singing and acting.
She was amazing and had such a sweet voice. I tear up whenever I hear it. And it was EVERYWHERE you went back then. On radio, in the mall, in the grocery store, at your friends house. You just heard this song everywhere.
That is her Husband Richard Rudolph in the video. They both wrote this song and many other songs together. She passed away at the too young age of 31 years old, and was said that she died in her husband's arms. He said they were so in love until her death, and that he still felt many years later like a part of him was missing.
At the end of the song she says Mya, Mya, Mya. Her daughter is Mya Rudolf. She was the best friend in the movie Bridesmaids.
Such a great comment! Her daughter is Maya Rudolph who is a very talented actress, comedian (Saturday Night Live) and singer!
Maya.
She was the bride, not the bridesmaid
@@laurahigginbottom6037 re-read my response. I said she was the best friend, not the bride.
Minnie's daughter is actress/comedian Maya rudolph.
Love how she sings Maya Maya at the end of this song
Didn't know - thanks.
I hope you'll react to Les Fleur by Minnie Ripperton. It features her voice in a more powerful manner, and will definitely give you goosebumps.
Fun fact: This 1975 song was composed by Minnie and her husband Richard Rudolph as a lullaby to their daughter, Maya Rudolph (of Saturday Night Live fame). Minnie's husband, Richard, is playing acoustic guitar in the background of this video. 🌞
I think you would love Roberta Flack if you loved this. "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is soooo good, and her song "Killing Me Softly" was so good that The Fugees covered it. Would love to see a reaction to her if you haven't reacted to her before.
Those songs bring me to tears everytime.
"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is PHENOMENAL!
Roberta Flack is incredible, but not too much like Minnie Ripperton IMO.
I LOVE Roberta 🙌
@@Ceractucus Oh for sure, vastly different voice types. As far as the lyrics and the era of music is concerned however, I do think that most anyone who likes Minnie Ripperton can appreciate Roberta Flack's music just as much. They both have that "ethereal earth mother" vibe that they mentioned they felt in this video reacting to Minnie. I feel that same calming emotion whenever I listen to Roberta as much as I do Minnie.
OMG! Minnie Ripperton was amazing! Brings back wonderful memories!
Absolutely Loved Her SO Much! 💗💗💗💗
Thank you for this reaction. This is comedian and SNL alumni Maya Rudolph's late mother. (Succumbed to breast cancer in 1979). Y'all should hear more of her music. Thanks again 😁
She could actually sing in that whistle range and be understood. A feat rarely, if ever, achieved no matter how talented the singer.
Your simultaneous jump-backs at the whistle note was everything! Yes, Minnie was all that and more.
Minnie was so sensual. She made you fall in love again in the most beautiful way. She was special.
This was written by Minnie and her husband who is playing guitar in the background, the one with dark shaggy hair and beard, Richard Rudolph. Their daughter is Maya Rudolph. Could you imagine THAT woman singing you to sleep at night?!
I am SO glad y'all picked this song - I've been begging for it for months! Her daughter is actress/comedian Maya Rudolph. At the end of this song, she repeats "Maya" as a love note to her daughter. The song perfectly highlights her coloratura soprano range. - which is unlike any I've heard. She wrote the lyrics & music (the music was based on a tune she would hum to Maya). She tragically died of breast cancer in 1979 at 31. President Jimmy Carter presented her with the American Cancer Society's Courage Award in 1978. You should also listen to her songs "Les Fleurs', "Expecting", "Reasons" & "Seeing You This Way".
Her voice was definitely a musical instrument.
Pure and perfect, was her voice. Her song "Reasons" is on almost all of my playlists.
I have never heard anyone sing that high note like her!
Me either, I don't think anyone else can👍✌️
Mariah Carey can. ☺
Her daughter is Mya Rudolph (SNL, The Good Place, Bridesmaids, and more). You should listen to her duet with José Feliciano, covering his cover of "Light My Fire". And you should listen to José on his own.
Thank you, I've been trying to get Jose Feliciano on here for a while.
Maya Rudolph.
@@jmrx12 Stupid keyboard dropping my "a". lol!
Dearest Minnie had an amazing 4 octave range ...such a sweet angelic range tho...others with an amazing range includes Roy Orbison with 5...These truly are treasures and count ourselves as blessed that there is such a record of amazing music for present and future generations to enjoy...Ty guys...once agin hitting the ball out of the park with this fine example...best wishes..always
Minnie Riperton was a special soul known for her "high whistle register" which few sopranos can accomplish. Truly, it is a regret of mine that I never got to see her in a live performance. Towards the end of Lovin' You, which was cut off too early here, she lovingly mentions her daughter Maya, Maya... Actually, Minnie was singing to her 2-year-old daughter in the studio when it was recorded in 1974. That Maya is actually singer, comedian, writer, producer, Maya Rudolph best known as a cast member of Saturday Night Live. Unfortunately, Minnie died of breast cancer in 1979. She is so missed.
Just saw your reaction to Minnie. The flowers in her hair were babies breathe very popular in the 70s. I was in college when I first heard this song it was beautiful then and it's still beautiful. Do her Down Memory Lane; you won't be disappointed.
The purity and beauty of this song makes me want to cry especially in the part she sings, "Stay with me while we grow old
And we will live each day in springtime", bittersweet she left us so soon.
Such a beautiful song of life and love and she was taken from this life of love she was so filled with. Maya Rudolph, you were robbed of your mother's love. Thank God you have her lyrics and voice to sustain you.
One of the best female vocalist I have ever heard in my lifetime.
Minnie! That voice! Like a bird! So so good!🔥🤙
This Is A Great Vid React.. Minnie Riperton Is One Of "The Best Vocalist EVER!!".."HANDS DOWN!!"..🔥🔥🔥👍🏿👍🏿
My wife and I were newlyweds when this song came out and I had to work nights. Every morning as I drove into our driveway the radio station played this song. I never grew tired of hearing her beautiful voice and would sit in my car until the song finished. This is a beautiful song and those are beautiful memories.
That Maya Maya Maya Maya at the end is her singing to her little daughter Maya Rudolf from Saturday Night Live!
This was our wedding song, we adore Minnie’s voice an in particular this song.❤
So glad you have managed to listen to Minnie, an amazing singer.
Most of Minnie's Catalogue is sorrowfully overlooked and underrated, but she has some amazing gems that you two most definitely should listen to. Here is a short list of amazing songs by her:
"Memory Band" (when she was a part of the group Rotary Connection).
"Les Fleurs:
"Reasons"
"Take A Little Trip"
"Every Time He Comes Around"
"Baby, This Love I Have"
"Simple Things"
"Can You Feel What I'm Saying?"
"Memory Lane"
"Here We Go"
"You Take My Breath Away"
Bravo!
You knew that gorgeous song!!!
Beautiful, huh?!?
Gone But Not Forgotten.. Rest In Peace Minnie.. Happy Heavenly New Year 2023 xx
I've been telling you for months to do this one to hear her Whistle Register note. It took you 6 months to get to it.
Although you should have done live on The Midnight Special.
Minnie is one of the great, but nearly forgotten singers that were spectacular in their own right. She began her career as a member of The Gems ( There was also a new York group of the same name) who were a Chicago girl group in the 1960s. The group became the primary backup vocal group for Chess Records. The group included Minnie who also recorded under the name Andrea Davis, who would go on to a career with the Chicago pscych-rock group Rotary Connection before embarking on a solo career highlighted by her hit song "Lovin' You." As a member of The Gems she provided the background vocals for one of the greatest R&B hits of the 60's, 'Rescue Me' sung by the equally forgotten but incredibly spectacular artist Fontella Bass. The musicians on that recording included Maurice White and Louis Satterfield later of Earth, Wind and Fire and Leonard Caston of MoTown. Minnie was one of the very 1st celebrities who went public with her breast cancer diagnosis. She passed at 31 in 1979.
And that is a beautiful beautiful song !
I've always loved this song....
At the end of the song she was saying Maya Maya. That was her new Baby who is now a famous film and SNL star. Maya Rudolph. Minnie has a love version of Inside My Love on You Tube that is incredible.
Any song on her Perfect Angel album. When you play her album, you just fall in love with her more and more each song.
Minnie Ripperton singing 'Inside My Love' will blow your Female Friday minds!
I'm so happy that you both enjoyed this beautiful and legendary voice. Suggestion: check out Deniece Williams' "Black Butterfly". Another incredible voice and a beautiful song.
She had one of the best voices ever. If you really want to hear her talents check out the album "come to my garden" nuff said.
She had a truly incredible voice with amazing range. She was gone much, much too early.
Beautiful soulful singing. Such a pure expression.
Greatest high note EVER.....I will remember her song always.....I've attempted to imitate, all the greatest female singers....That High note I can't reach,
She set that bar HIGH!
Such a beautiful voice and song. I'm a rocker, but I find this incredibly touching xxx
I have heard this song many times on the radio but I never knew the name of the vocalist. I learn something new everyday.
Angelicly pure. Came out when I first fell in love. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL expression of intimacy
I Have been inlove with Minnie my whole life!!
Vocal perfection. Gorgeous lyrics. Beautiful lady who left us too soon. If you don't like this song, you may not have a heart.
As beautiful as this one is, her live performance in 1975, I think it is.....hits the whistle notes...unreal.
Such a beautiful song rip minnie❤
watching the bodily reaction to MInnie's top notes, you see the rush J and Amber taken aback , Literally. That is the voice of Miss Minnie Riperton
Thank you for playing this video. I love your reactions to the high notes she hits. It is a shame she passed away in 1979 from Breast Cancer. Her daughter is the actress Maya Rudolph.
Amber mentioned that she felt Minnie transported her to paradise. Minnie Riperton has a wonderful song called “Adventures in Paradise” that really shows off her vocal range.
My favorite meta part about this song is that Minnie Riperton was singing to her baby Maya, and even sings "Maya, Maya, Maya, Maya" on the long version of this tune. Maya would grow up to be the incomparable Maya Rudolph.
I flashed back to the 70s. Growing up in the 70s was a memorable time and the music was even better. 👌
Mya Rudolph, who got her start on SNL is her daughter, and she sings very well too. At the fade-out, she is saying "Maya, Maya Maya".
She hits the most impossible note ever. Hey, you should check out Maria Maldaur "Midnight at the Oasis"
I second that recommendation, and Midnight also contains one of the all time great pop guitar solos👍🏻🎸🌈
I also asked them to do Midnight at the oasis what a great song!
Minnie is a 60s/70s 'flower child' ... beautiful
Thanks for the reaction. Minnie was awesome. Beautiful person, lost too soon. You should hear the Midnight Special version of this song. Her voice goes EVEN HIGHER!!!
Oh Minnie, we lost you so young at only 31 from breast cancer 😢. What an angelic voice. The high notes is called the " whistle" note. Even higher than Mariah Carey's
It makes me sad when she sings the line "stay with me while we grow old..." :(
@@jdw5678 oh definitely. It makes me tear up
It's not higher then Mariah's. Mariah's vocal range is bigger then Minnie's, low notes to high notes. Mariah was in the Guinness world record for the hitting the highest note ever by a singer in 1991
Her daughter is Maya Rudolph from SNL
Minnie Ripperton and Karen Carpenter left us Way 2 Soon
2 Absolutely Amazing Voices with soo much more to Sing
this might be the highest note that I have ever herd in a song
Minnie was such a beautiful soul with a voice of a goddess. Great reaction. Have you reacted to Yma Sumac's song Chuncho? Another woman with an unworldly voice.
Probably the most naturally gifted voice ever..Minnie was one of kind ❤️
I am a huge fan of Minnie i love her voice so much. awesome reaction.
Love this song. I remember my mom used to played this type of music when I was a little kid in the 70s. So mellow and calming. I miss those days.
She’s literally singing to her newborn daughter Maya, who should be known to you guys as Maya Rudolph, the comedian/actor from Saturday Night Live and various movies and commercials.
Now do YEAR OF THE CAT by Al Stewart; the production alone will blow both of you away.
Haha, I was waiting to see your reactions when Minnie first hits that super high note -- and y'all didn't disappoint.
Amazing talent!!! Loved her music🥰
This is Maya Rudolph from SNL mother❤❤❤❤
Minnie had the best whistle tone ever...
You really should check her out on "Inside My Love". Never get's old, and really shows off her extraordinary range and musical phrasing. Also, the fuller instrumentation and the arrangement reminds me somewhat of Steely Dan, IMO. And if you don't like the bass part, you're just musically dead inside. It's just the best.
She was amazing...thanks guys
Yes. Without aging myself, this was a song that is indeed, included in my lifes soundtrack.
It's called whistle register. A lot of singers do it now, but Minnie R was the first I heard it from
AND THE BEST ! Nobody came close to her...
@@corchem Listen to Chante Moore
Her voice to me exudes innocence, if that even makes any sense. LOL
I was hoping you would hear this one. I loved Minnie so much when she was alive. Bought this album in the 1970s and still have it. What a loss to the world and, more tragically, to her family.
I am a huge Minnie fan her voice in angelic love your reaction. she passed at age 31 of breast cancer. She had a 8 octave vocal range and not many people can reach it.
She passed at such a young age. One of the highest pitched voices in the world. Her daughter is comic actress Maya Rudolph (Saturday Night Live, Idiocracy).
I didn’t know she was Maya’s Mom. Thanks 🥰
When I hear this song I especially wait for the high note. Minnie sang an octave higher. I think the guitar player was her husband. The flowers in her hair I believe are Baby's Breath a floral component in flower bouquets. Baby's Breath symbolizes purity, sincerity, love, compassion, trust, everlasting love, innocence, and romance. Also the look is charming and innocence look resembles a little baby.
Question: Did you guys completely finish the video? Or did you cut if off too soon? Because Minnie was saying Maya reference to her daughter.
To your question looks like the video cuts off faintly when she sings Maya.
@@razz2552 Thank you. Sometimes reactors don't let the music videos completely finish out. They miss little gems of information. Just like movie closing credits. The movie makers put some extra information related to the movie. For example: War films that are based on real events, may have a list of the soldiers who died. Real pictures of persons who the actors portrayed side by side for comparison. Extra historical notes.
Yes, that was her husband playing guitar
Oh yeah, this is one of the best. It doesn't seem possible. Minnie, thanks for something more valuable than gold.
One morning at camp, our counselor woke us up with this song full blast. It was not a bad way to wake up. That was almost 50 years ago and I have never forgotten it. It was also played all the time on the radio during that time.
Yay, finally! Now you know why many of us wanted you to see what we meant by Mariah and Ariana not being the pioneers of whistle register singers. Minnie and also Deniece Williams were way ahead of the game.
Did Jordan use the word "screech" to describe Minnie's voice? Yikes! There will be coal in his Christmas stocking tomorrow morning.
Amber, Minnie was known to wear baby's breath (which I love) in her hair regularly. If not that, she'd often have some sort of decorative item in her hair.
The part where she says "my, my, my..."; in the longer version she clearly says "Maya, Maya, Maya.....", who is her daughter, actress Maya Rudolph.
Maya was a baby at the time and she would sing to her and added her name to the song. :)
Check out her song "Memory Lane" (sometimes titled "Back Down Memory Lane".)
Minnie had a whistle voice, very rare. Loved the song back then, still do. You may have heard Maya. Maya that was her young daughter. Actually it's Maya Rudolph who was a cast member on Saturday night Live.
This song was in one of the Vacation Movies. Beverly D'Angelo sang this song in Vegas Vacation.
Performed by Wayne Newton and Beverly D'Angelo
One of the greatest love songs ever written. Sung by Minnie Ripperton, it is magical and sounds like spring is being brought to life by their love.
