The Swingles - Les Fleurs (Minnie Riperton A Cappella Cover) - Lockdown Sessions

[@robingarrettmusic]

Outstanding! What a magical performance of a hugely-underrated song.

[@pamelahall7874]

Took my breath away! I am a big Minnie Riperton fan.

[@ScapeGoat2099]

Les fleurs is the most beautiful and powerful masterpiece on the planet

[@afchevalier]

Beautiful people with beautiful voices. I love this arrangement. Thank you.

[@kdp8133]

Fantastic version of one of the best songs ever

[@Kairon111161]

I thumbsed up every single positive comment (which was the overwhelming majority) -- just to bring more traffic here and more consciousness to this post and incredible rendition of Minnie Ripperton's (really Charles Stepney's) LES FLEUR. TOTALLY AMAZING. You guys and gals are absolutely WONDERFUL!! The smiles on your faces are as beautiful as the song itself, and your flawless rendition. You all are the personification of the song itself -- "inside every Man, lives the Seed of a Flower" -- you are seven beautiful Flowers, giving us all so much "LOVE AND JOY -- FAITH AND HOPE" -- most especially JOY -- SHEER HAPPINESS AND WONDER AT THE BEAUTY OF CREATION!!!

[@mysticakhenaton1701]

here's to the LATE GREAT Charles Stepney for composing a masterpiece. and you for mentioning/remembering, him 👍👍👍👍

[@misc.endeavours8343]

Incredible job. Minnie Ripperton's original is so intricate . . . and this version is almost indistinguishable.

[@LegionIvory]

Don't you dare tell that lie. The original had a full choir ensemble with a chamber orchestra. This doesn't come close.

[@misc.endeavours8343]

@@LegionIvory I'm comparing the nuances. Minnie Riperton's rendition is perfection, I agree, but for including so much of what was in the original (her voice and the orchestration) with nothing more than the voice I think this is probably as good as it gets.

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

A joyous and addictive incarnation of the beauty that occurs when people work together. If we could see the world as a choir, can you imagine the difference?

[@enochianmagic]

lovely image

[@Kairon111161]

To hear and see human voices raised in song, in harmony, is perhaps the closest thing in the gross material realm to the DIVINE -- always, when performed at this level, and with this quality of composition, seems to bring me right into the Presence of God.

[@kevinalanmattson]

Choir nerd kudos for their technical skills! I have followed the The Swingles since their first incarnation as Ward Swingle's 'Swingle Singers' in 1962. They have always insisted on the most remarkable control over pitch and vibrato. They can sing in perfect tune, and hold notes with almost zero vibrato until it's called for, usually at the ends of phrases.

[@ScapeGoat2099]

Holy Sweet Mother of Grace this is amazing Minnie is proud

[@allartispersonal]

Sensational performance and arrangement. This is one of Minnie's best kept secrets Thank you for putting it out there.

[@benplaysliveonline]
