    I love Minnie Ripperton. She was an amazing singer, there is no other like her. I cried when she passed away in 1979 of cancer. She was only 31 years old. The name Maya, that she mentions at the end of the song is her daughter, Maya Rudolph, from Saturday Night Live.

There’s a video of her singing Back Down Memory Lane and she is holding her arm “funny” because she couldn’t move it, that was filmed 2 weeks before she passed. Please make sure you are giving correct information. She lived 5 years AFTER her release of Loving You.

    I love this song for so many reason. When you really dig into it, it's about how passionate the act of love making is but how that can transform into forming a new life, and a next generation. It's a love song to her partner, but also a love song to her child born out of that partnership. It's profound, and sweet, and ultimately tragic, because of the too soon realities of mortality. Imagine Maya Rudolph having such a document about the beginning of her own existence, born out of love and passion and then transformed into her mother's love for her? Mind blowing song.

      Her "Best of Minnie Ripperton" CD is so amazing!!!! Cut after cut...... If you ever saw the movie "Cadillac Records" about Muddy Watters and starring Beyonce as Etta James, about the famous Chess Records Studio in Chicago, Minnie Ripperton actually recorded at that studio also. I'm from Chicago, I know.....

      I remember that, too. There were some rock-and-rollers who maybe mocked it a little just because it was on the radio so much, but there was all-around respect from just about everyone.
      That period, from about 1966 to 1974-5, was remarkable for the diversity of new sounds and styles in popular music. Every album that came out sounded nothing like any other album, and that diversity opened the door for acceptance of songs like this into a rocker's world.
      I made mix tapes on reel-to-reel then that bounced around between Jimi Hendrix, Jackson Browne, Moody Blues, Earth Wind & Fire, Black Sabbath, Cat Stevens, Faces, Joni Mitchel, etc., so plugging in Minnie Ripperton into that mix was perfectly normal. At least in my world there were fewer people who drew a hard line between pop and rock than I see today.

    The great Minnie Riperton. Glad you guys got a chance to listen to her. Her life was short, but she made a great impact in music. She's the mother of the actress/comedian Maya Rudolph. Towards the end of the song, you hear Minnie Rudolph singing " Maya, Maya". She's singing about her daughter Maya.🥰

    I sang this song when I was in the Air Force as part of the airbase talent wide competition back in the 80s. I not only got a standing O but also won first place for female vocalist. Such a simple but complete love song. The Maya she is singing at the end if for her daughter Maya Rudolph who was an infant at the time. I have always loved Minnie and wonder just how far her career would have gone........but God welcomed her home sooner because he was ready for her..........

    Perfect Angel was released in 1974, Minnie died July 12, 1979. I had to leave work because I was so upset and crying over her death. She released the following albums prior to her death: “Come to my Garden” in 1970; “Adventures in Paradise” in 1975; “Stay In Love in 1977; and “Minnie” on May 9, 1979 (She died a little over a month later); and “Love Lives Forever” was released posthumously in 1980, It consists of tracks Riperton recorded in 1978 during vocal sessions prior to her death. On “Minnie”, You can hear her voice break while singing “save me, save me” on “Memory Lane”. The cancer had returned, her right arm was paralyzed from the chemo treatment and she was leaving her husband and two small children. Minnie was able to reach 5 octaves above High C when singing. She and her husband Richard Rudolph wrote many of the songs she sang. Listen to “Reasons” and “Every Time He Comes Around” to hear her beautiful voice and the range she could reach.
