[@geoffstockton]

She is the neo-soul queen indeed. Her joy is so infectious. The kind of person I wish I could be around on the regular.

[@MzMary801]

Yes indeed.

[@ccjammy5270]

Minnie Ripperton is music in it's purest form.

[@MrWillcapone]

Jilly from Philly is the sexiest living spirit in music. This woman's soul just takes you hostage and enraptures every fiber of your mind. It's a forceful softness that's just so infectious, you want to inhabit whatever universe she built.

[@christopherwilliams7792]

She is amazing at What she does, thank you Jill Scott for Everything!

[@officialonyxobsidian]

My GOD! Jill is so beautiful 😍 😭

[@MarkusL]

I am so elated to see my queen Jill Scott give the respect to all of these artist. But to see give respect to my favorite female vocalist Mrs. Minnie Julia Riperton, totally blew we away. I just wanted to say Thank You Jill for keeping Minnie's legacy alive. Hopefully one day a film will be made in her honor as well.. Jill you never cease to amaze me. Keep doing your positive than girl! Love you to the moon and back!

[@vintage7919]

Yesssss Jill come through with that "Love Lives Forever" album You could neva go wrong with Minnie Riperton. I just love herrrrrr. The woman was a bomb ass vocalist , poetic genius and an overall loving, sweet, expressive person. This whole album is just bursting with so much imagery , energy and love and the fact that Micheal Jackson sang on one of the songs on there makes it 10 times more magical than it already is and it shouldve gotten an award for the best posthumous album of that year.

[@Chitownbrotha30]

She can do a video about Green eggs and ham, I would still watch it!

[@ConCitatoE]

Jill played some of my songs!!!!! Minnie and Peabo.. I LOVE that song!! I love the fact that the covers are worn and not represses. While there is nothing wrong with that, if that's your thing.. For me, I like the original copy, and rummaging through a loved ones basement, garage, attic, back room, whatever.. AND JILL KNOWS!!! SALT AND PEPPER FOR THE GRITS!! NOT SUGAR!! That's for Oatmeal!

[@robertmonroejr1315]

I love Jill's musical choices and I would love to visit her uncle's basement & garage...but, the way Jill's holding those records is killing me!

[@jlv3x]

I know what you mean, I never wanted to see any fingerprints on my albums. You handle vinyl by the edges only, no fingers on the surface.

[@ray-mond9215]

Jill is one of those people who can make you smile for no reason, I love her.
