Glasshouse - Les Fleurs by Minnie Riperton

[@moltenriches]

No matter what version of this song I hear I always get chills when that chorus kicks in

[@electriccoconut]

The chorus is all I managed to remember of this song I had no idea who's tune it was till it was played on radio 2. Sara cox show then I had it. It was mini ripperton.

Every time without fail 🤯

[@ckswright]

I really love this cover, I just wish they had given credit to my father as well. He produced, wrote and arranged this beautiful piece. But we love Minnie always!!

[@yakamann334]

Yah bless your dad. He was given something beautiful to give to the world. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@heloismorris101]

He created a masterpiece! 🥰❤💯

[@bugler75]

Mr Stepney? What a wonderful song he created ❤️ Alongside some other great groups of the 1970’s.

[@tnijoo5109]

Incredible work. What was his name?

[@bugler75]

@@tnijoo5109 Hi, his name was Charles Stepney and he was really important in producing some of the great black artists in jazz, RnB etc in the 1960’s and 70’s. I knew of him through the group Earth, Wind and Fire before finding out in this comment section that he produced this outstanding piece of music too. He died quite young if I remember correctly. Mr Stepney left a long list of great music and it’s a shame his name isn’t better known! I wish you a great day 😊 Ian

Brilliant version, loved it!! I'm off to run naked through a field 😁

[@enochianmagic]

pervert haha

[@thekingisback4178]

Its wonderful to see all the amazing artists come together to make this gem. When I was a kid and heard it on the radio,, I had to imagine what the orchestra looked like behind Minnie's voice. Now I know, What a beautiful world when we work together.

[@gomezcat1]

Damn. This is proper spine tingling stuff. Fantastic version.

[@TyStephens]

I'm impressed that you found this piece of music AND found it valuable! Thank you, from Minnie's biggest fan!! :)

[@natashajohnson2258]

[@slackdude1]

I saw a cinema advert featuring this song mid nineties. Could not figure out the artist. By chance I had been looking up Minnie discography and forked out for the album. Suspected nothing and it played on my mind. Only played it a couple of times without paying much attention. 6 months later grabbed some discs for a road trip. Got to the first corner, looking at my partner, pointing at the car stereo.

[@natanaelarias4714]

OMG!!! this is pure art! ♥♥

[@Weizsaecker]

Such a great piece of music. One of the best songs on my Spotify Triphop playlist.

[@chutneybun]

I love the fact that you all are so deeply into the music - this is such a beautiful, positive song and your performance is likewise. And your performance is magical. You have captured the proverbial lightning in a bottle from the least likely of circumstances. I think that makes Glasshouse officially amazing. 100%.

[@elenaeveshamcole]

Phenomenal!!! Every single artist 🙌🏼

[@MrSteniorod]

Beautiful ❤❤❤ This song is fantastic and you did a great job recreating it.

[@heyspicysakura]

So much yes

[@RafaelEspadine]

How come I only found this today? This song is one of my all-time favorite and your version is amazing. Well done, everyone!

[@rodbritton360]

I literally stumbled across this by shear accident. My Lawd.... What an impressive effort from the ensemble. What a rendition!

[@mysticakhenaton1701]

Rod, there are NO accidents in a universe govern by divine order.

[@30eddywilgje]

Possibly one of the most difficult songs to perform live, you all nailed it flawless big respect👌

[@studio5176]

See it the first time... Ring all the bells sing and tell the people that be everywhere that the flower has come! You nailed it, thank you so much!

[@1073054]

[@johnworrall3646]

[@jonschlanger9036]

Completely agree with Jeffrey below, crushed it. I'm a big fan of covers, covers that expand, personalize, add a heartbeat. I love this rendition, well done.

[@benplaysliveonline]

Nailed it. So good. Thank you. I don't know how I didn't know about this song until I saw the GASLIT trailer.

Your guys are all amazing! This is stunning! The time it must’ve taken with the arrangement! And your talent is outstanding! Can’t stop listening! Please do more! Bought me to tears! Thanks so much for this all of u x

[@friendlier]

Absolutely gorgeous. I've heard only a few cover versions of Les Fleurs. All very good. But THIS. Stunning. I've been proselytizing for Minnie, Rotary Connection, and their brilliant producer Charles Stepney since first encountering the albums in the mid-1970s. It's wonderful that young people now are embracing these stunning songs, and performing them with such understanding and soul. Thank you.

[@ckswright]

Thank you. Dad is often forgotten for the creation of this song!!

[@maxinesmyth3036]

Wondrous song .. Beautiful version.

[@annemariek357]

I have words. This was so beyond beautiful!! She would be so proud!! Thank you for such a tremendous job🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 stunning!

[@jazzsoul6067]

Actually, this was originally written by Charles Stepney, the famed record producer, arranger, songwriter, musician and producer of the original Earth Wind & Fire original group. It first appeared on Ramsey Lewis' 1968 album "Maiden Voyage". A year later, in 1969, Minnie Riperton covered it, with lyrics by her future husband, Richard Rudolph, on her debut studio album "Come into My Garden". Ramsey Lewis has offered it since in a number of iterations on his various albums. This song's arrangement foretold the future sound and attituded of the experimental Soul/Rock group, "Rotary Connection", in which Minnie Riperton was a mainstay.

[@ckswright]

Thank you for acknowledgment of dad for this piece.
