Minnie Riperton - Inside My Love (1975) *DayOne Reacts*

[@martyemmons1859]

Those of us who experienced Minnie Riperton's music when it was released are truly blessed. Even though she passed away at 32 years old, the small amount of music she left us will NEVER cease to amaze me. Those two songs you've listened to are not 'one-hit-wonders', Angela. Some of my favorite Minnie Riperton songs are: "Memory Lane" "Simple Things" "Perfect Angel" "Light My Fire"

[@samestuffdifferentday5712]

One of the greatest vocalists ever.

[@shawntezwilliams4852]

I am 54 yrs old I remember as child Minnie and Denise Williams were Stevie wonder backup singers

[@zimbalistdavis923]

I’m a little older, 63 and I remember that two, also there was Stevie’s wife at the time Syretta Wright

[@zimbalistdavis923]

NO AUTO TUNE,',,,AND SHE NEVER SMOKED.

[@zimbalistdavis923]

when you get around to it reasons Minnie Riperton she really shows off her range…Reasons from the perfect angel album

[@vernonjohnsonjr7389]

I actually remember when she passed it was 1979 and I was 7 years old that was my mom's favorite singer. So sad she passed at a young age from cancer.

[@dcaseng]

Shout out to the band for that incredible music production. Very silky smooth.

[@arronhaggerty8426]

She passed away no long After this performance.

[@davejohnson7583]

After all these years no matter the time or place every time I her Minnie sing I shed tears she died young and never got to see Mia and her brother grow and the image of Stevie wonder crying at her funeral stays with me what a talent and she is still missed

This song has transcended the decades since its release in ‘75. It never gets old, only better.

Those whistle notes were something fierce!!!! 🔥🎶🎵

[@fantasyguru26]

This is my favorite Minnie Riperton song. The vocals are simply in another universe.

[@AckeeandSaltfish]

Especially since she holds the note for longer on the studio recording 💙💙

[@randymccloud5743]

Minnie Ripperton was the TRUTH...an unparalled talent. Her voice was pure magic...RIP.

[@primeminister66]

I remember hearing this as a kid in the 70s like “I love this lady and this song” not having a clue of what she was really talking about 😂. What a great loss, hurts even now. Super God given voice

[@cavitycreep]

She was singing about getting fucked good

[@gsprings43]

that look at the camera when she sang what she sang was priceless,,,ha!

[@Vannie-f1y]

Minnie and Deniece Williams 👌

[@galexj123]

Both of these ladies were,at one time,a part of Wonderlove

[@primeminister66]

INDEED, Niecy was tough

[@veeseee128]

Minnie had one of those voices that come once in a lifetime, kinda like Karen Carpenter. Her voice was unique. I dont think anyone could hit a high octave range as high as her. She was a songbird indeed.

[@jamesgreenhow108]

What you just said was the most honest shit I ever heard in 63 years. But trust me IT HAS happened more frequently than not that first meeting became a long lasting marriage. It was how Minnie felt about her husband and the father of her children. Minnie was 31 when she died. But I have seen Minnie on talk shows in the 70's and how respected and adored Famous actors, sports figures, comedians, musicians and other singers both black and white gave the most reverent respect. Minnie was an National Treasure. She is mostly known for her ballads...But Minnie could Rock with the best of them. But her iconic WHISTLE is pure Ecstasy R.I.Pleasure Minnie.😍❤❤❤❤

[@jorgemarquez7281]

God, what a voice... Emotional perfomance.

[@MrHarris61]

A great song performed by a generational singer!

[@paulsims9310]

This is the great Minnie Riperton who inspired Mariah Carey, Denice Williams. She is the mother of the actress and Comedian Maya Rudolph. She passed away in the early 80's from Breast Cancer. She is also from my hometown "Chicago". Rest In Peace Mrs. Riperton.

[@Vannie-f1y]

She’s just amazing I’m old school any music 80s and before

[@tedcole9936]

Oh wow. Oh wow. Never heard this before! Awesome! Thanks!

[@ridgebackdk]

the late great amy winehouse rated her as one of her favorite and most influential artists ... if you listen to certain songs by amy you can hear it ..the phrasing and the timing ..

[@victorduffany7723]

So beautiful and sensuous!!! And di d you notice? She did not have to get half naked to make you feel what she needs you to feel. Perfection. What a wonderful singer!!

[@royjohnson465]

I agree with you needs no clothes off like modern trash now of days but she said dirty stuff like you can come inside me.

[@joshuawatts8701]

Memory lane by her is her last song please listen

[@aldoayhoniz190]

She was not only a great voice, she knew how to use her awesome voice to transmit emotions, and that's what made her great besides her vocal range. A true artist doesn't have to scream during all the song trying to presume his/her vocal range. True talent, gone too soon. RIP.

[@davidlynn3631]

One of the most Beautiful Voices ever and by the way she's not sing about lust sing singing about two souls meeting.

[@AckeeandSaltfish]

Came here to say this lol

[@DarrylSellers]

Yes, Minnie Riperton's remarkble range and sensual, seductive, soulful vibe are legendary! Gone way too soon! But her spirit and legacy live on through her daughter Maya Rudolph...to whom Minnie dedicates the end of her hit song, "Lovin' you" lovingly vocalizing, "Maya, Maya!" Rest, peacefullly in Heaven, "Songstress!" 🙏🏾💕♬🎤🎶

[@waynesolomon9313]

We had this album in my house growing up. The album had several classics on it. A Tribe Called Quest Sampled this song for "Lyrics To Go". Original and sampled song Both Classics!!

[@clutch236]

Awww gosh! She's singing about coming into that big ol' heart of hers! Man, I can really feel the spirit! lol (note: This beautiful voice was Stevie Wonder's backup singer and also the mother of former Saturday Night Live cast member, actress "Maya Rudolph") 🙂

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

Yes, Angela acknowledges that fact at 5:55.

[@clutch236]

you are correct! @gabrielmcdonnell8699...i guess i cut out too soon, huh? lol

[@ssm1052]

In the 70's and early 80's record companies would literately throw money at the Artist, and told them to make some great music, the artist would even use a live rhythm section, even down to the to the Album's cover art. This was clearly the best time for R & B music. Earth wind and fire, LTD, heatwave, Donna summer maze and Franky Beverly, Mothers Finest, Rufus....ETC Technology hurt this industry in so many ways. then people started becoming selfish, and kept the advance money...Music is in a sad state now

[@benntura]

What a beautiful dirty song.

[@miltonslocum8957]

WHAT VOICE!! Minnie was truly an amazing singer! This song was hot when it came out in 75 and still is🔥 And your reaction confirms that😁 Really enjoyed your comments too!😊

[@OpusWon]

[@zanohoriamazo1]

She was so young o be passing on😢. Her last album I believe was called Memory Lane, which was an album of duets where she had recorded her parts before she died & some of the duet partners were recorded after. There is a recorded video of Minnie singing the title track on a t.v. show, like a laid back medium tempo beat. Thing is it was probably one of her last performances & she knew of her diagnosis. If you check Stevie’s song Creepin, you can hear Minnie in the background & when you listen closely you can hear her with that seductive quality.

The way she and her future husband I believe wrote it together gets away with saying it in a "spiritual" way, but is certainly meant in EVERY way.

It's also a very spiritual song as well.

Fun fact: the song writer Leon said the song is a gospel song.

[@chrisv966]

If you loved "Loving You" and this song, this song has been sampled heavily. If you get a chance, listen to the studio version, and see how long she held that note for. Such a voice, such a great singer, and what a great song! Another song you might like is "Baby This Love I Have", give that a go when you have a chance. I forgot to mention Trina Broussard covered this song on the 'Love Jones' soundtrack, a very good cover.

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

[@nancykimbrough4988]

Actually Minnie Riverton was interviewed about this song. It was written by a male songwriter. The song was not about sex but being in tune with each other spiritually, emotionally, mentally. All encompassing true love. Google the interview.

[@tommccarthy3052]

She co-wrote it and one of the "male songwriters" in question happened to be her husband...for whatever that's worth. So, presuming he wrote the lyrics then there's some additional context.

[@stannote8312]

@@tommccarthy3052 True, she co-wrote it with her husband, Richard Rudolph, but the main writer on the tune is the gifted, deceased Mr. Leon Ware. His songwriting and arranging style are prominent in the song. Among the songs Leon wrote or co-wrote are Michael Jackson's "I Wanna Be Where You Are;" Quincy Jones' "If I Ever Lose This Heaven," Maxwell's "Sumthin Sumthin" Marvin Gaye's "I Want You," the Main Ingredient's "Rolling Down A Mountainside," among many others.
