Throwback Tuesdays: Minnie Riperton – “Lovin’ You’”

Posted on by

Minnie-RipertonIt’s a mellow kind of day today, so Minnie Riperton’s “Lovin’ You” couldn’t fit any better.

“Minnie Julia Riperton was an American singer-songwriter best known for her vocal range of five-and-a-half octaves, and her 1975 single “Lovin’ You”. She was married to songwriter and music producer Richard Rudolph from 1972 until her death in the summer of 1979. They had two children: music engineer Marc Rudolph and actress/comedienne Maya Rudolph.“Lovin’ You” is a 1975 hit single and is especially noteworthy due to the unusually high pitches that Riperton reaches during the song. It is also noteworthy for the sound of the chirping songbirds that are heard throughout the song, which Riperton phonates by use of the whistle register.”

Unfortunately Minnie Riperton died from breast cancer when she was only 31 years old, but her unique voice will forever stay with us.

Reminisce and enjoy…
