    Deniece Williams has a 5 octave also. Deniece had been singing back up for Stevie Wonder for a number of years. I've always believed that's why she didn't get the credit Minnie did. "Back Down Memory Lane" is my favorite song of hers. When she sung that note, "I don't wanna go," it gave me chills as a child. When I got older, I found out that she knew she was dying and that's what she was singing about. One of my sisters used to sing that all of time when I was little. She could hit that 5 octave throat whistle too. One of my favorite album covers of all time is the "Perfect Angel" cover. Thanks for this upload. You brought back some fond memories for me.

The first song I heard from her was Loving You. They used to play Back Down Memory Lane a lot. . Inside My Love is a beautiful song❤ I fell in love with with her voice. When you’re 15 the age 31 sounds old. But now that I am 44. Her passing away at 31 is sooo young and crazy to me. She passed away they day after I was born. I was born July 11,1979.

I seen her appearance on Soul train and American bandstand it was very sad that she was so sick. My mother died of mestatic breast cancer in 1997, she loved minne riperton also. When minne would sing her voice was so angelic on unsung what really touched my heart is that her husband still cries about how much he misses and love her and never remarried.

    I loved it whenever Minnie came on the radio in the early 70s, Had to buy her albums. I had a very definitive collection of her music on casette tapes. I especially loved her "Perfect Angel" album...and especially her underrated hit, "Lovin You"! I played that song endlessly...until I got into other genres of music, like smooth jazz and the like...but I felt very sorry the day she died in 1979. I was so numb that I had to play "Lovin You" so many timews to console myself. All I can say now today is that I her "Perfect Angel" CD and I played it for my daughter until she was 7 years old. God bless her soul, I loved her high octave range and such a beautiful voice....so gifted. She blessed us all...her upbringing and all...plus also giving us her equally talented daughter, Maya Rudolph. God bless her. I loved Minnie...keep singing and soar with the angels in praise! Thank you for your voice and talent, Minnie...I'll see you in heaven soon.

    My very favorite singer in the world this lady is phenomenal just because she didn't sing straight r&B she didn't get the success she deserved. Her music talent went above people's musical head😮
    Come to my garden was a masterpiece
    I attended her funeral at the Westwood mortuary in Westwood, CA. Continue to rest peacefully angel❤❤❤

    I have always Been fascinated with Minnie ripperton since I was 7 years old back in late 70s. I used to watch Her perform live. And what captivated me was the live orchestra behind her, it was so. Theatrical to me, I studied her rifts from Front to back top to bottom. As a young adult, 1990 I ended up moving on Jasmine street. When they are ran into a young girl by the name of Carla. I mean, Carla became very good friends. We decided to start a singing group together called Kayla. I met Carla and her aunt at the corner store. Her aunt name was Sandra Ripperton She started talking to me and I told her that I sang her voice had a distinct tone to it and I said. Hey, wait a minute, are you related to Minnie ripperton? That's when she said yes, that's my Sister, so we all left the store and walked back to sandra's apartment, she had a huge lifesize picture of Minnie ripperton and a bunch of l Memorabilia I was also able to Meet marcus Minnie' Rippertons son beautiful family

    I was about 5 yrs old when Minnie passed, my mother was depressed for months. It was the first time I learned about death. My mother also took it hard when Marvin Gaye passed also. Good job on the Minnie's story, I always wanted to know some solid details about her but I never researched because it felt strange, I always knew what she passed from, she was so unique with her voice and sad songs I felt creepy and It made my mother sad. Minnie's story was sadder than I thought especially because we lived growing up about 35 minutes from her when she lived in Gainesville FL never knew that wow. Great Job!!

    My first memory of her was “Loving You.” I was about 11 years old.
    The first tears I remember crying during a song was this!
    Her voice broke me..
    it tore me up!
    How could anyone have a voice so sweet?
    I loved her so much.
    Just think what masterpieces we were robbed of by her passing.
    Always loving you, Miss Minnie❤❤😢😢
