Capitol Gold: The Best of Minnie Riperton

Amazon.com
Minnie Riperton's untimely death from breast cancer (in 1979 at the age of 32) robbed the world of one its truly great, truly distinctive voices. Her operatically-trained, five-octave instrument was the very model of beauty and control. Consequently, her signature tune, "Lovin' You," is likely the breeziest bit of pop you may ever hear. In addition to her own songs, Riperton also makes light work of material as lovely and strong as Stevie Wonder's "Perfect Angel" and Joni Mitchell's "Woman of Heart and Mind." The only misstep on this collection, in fact, is yet another unnecessary take of The Doors' "Light My Fire." --Michael Ruby

HONEST THOUGHTS.......2007-05-13

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED MINNIE FROM THE TIME OF HER FIRST CD, HER MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY MALODIC AND DIFFERENT,OF COURSE THAT BEAUTIFUL VOICE OF HERS, AND TALENT ARE UNCOMPARIBLE TO ANYONE ELSE, STAN, DURBIN.

WHAT MORE CAN I SAY...........IT'S MINNIE.........LEFT US TOO SOON.......2007-01-24

you know, that cancer is a whole 'nother monster. this cd is the reason that i am saying this. this is proof positive that minnie left us too soon. i love everything on this. it makes me wanna sit back, look at the blue skies at the beach, grab a cold beverage, and just forget. how minnie and her cohorts were able to perfectly put that vibe within everyone of these songs is beyond me, and that is what makes this so amazing. she will NEVER be forgotten here............right, mariah?

LOVIN' YOU !.......2006-07-04

Minnie Riperton was the "Perfect Angel" of sweet soul music; as Vickie Sue Robinson had the perfect rhythm for dance music. God bless them both !!

A MASTER PIECE!!!.......2006-06-22

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO HEAR A REAL VOICE WITH REAL MELODIES PLAYING, THIS IS THE CD FOR YOU! THIS WOMAN (MINNIE RIPERTON) WAS SO AMAZING ! I FELL IN LOVE THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THE VOICE. THE KEY TRACKS ARE: "LOVING YOU", "CAN YOU FEEL WHAT I'M SAYIN'", "INSIDE MY LOVE" & "LIGHT MY FIRE". IMPRESSIVE COLLECTION! TRUE FANS SHOULD CHECK OUT THE HARD TO FIND "ADVENTURES IN PARADISE" ALBUM. THIS CD WAS PRODUCED BY: STEVIE WONDER, LEON WARE, MINNIE RIPERTON & RICHARD RUDOLPH. BUY IT! BUY IT! BUY IT!

Still Lovin' You Minnie............2005-08-09

Minnie Riperton...such a beautiful woman with an equally beautiful voice. The younguns aren't ready for this one. This is for those of us that can truly appreciate real music and real talent. This woman had the voice of the most gentle hummingbird. Her songs, quite a few of which were co-written by her husband, told stories. She took our breath away. She was taken from us way too soon, but her voice will live on forever.
