Album Notes
Digitally remastered by Wally Traugott.
Although she only had one Top 40 hit, 1975's gorgeous "Lovin' You," Minnie Riperton was one of the most distinctive and exceptional singers of the '70s. This anthology, covering the solo albums Riperton recorded in the '70s as a protege of Stevie Wonder, collects most of her finest material. While most of Riperton's singles were lushly romantic ballads in the "Lovin' You" mold, she had a remarkably varied vocal and stylistic range-she had been the singer in the pioneering psychedelic soul act the Rotary Connection, after all-and other tracks here include the funkier "Can You Feel What I'm Saying" and the sassy "Young Willing and Able." Other highlights include sublime interpretations of Wonder's "Perfect Angel" and Joni Mitchell's "Woman of Heart and Mind." Riperton's early death, in 1979 at the age of 31, was one of the '70s' most tragic musical losses.

      The Best of Minnie Riperton

    One of my best forgotten albums come to life in CD form. Simply had to have it after seeing old videos of her and listening to real meaningful music. Instead of listening to the gender bashing, gang banging, drink and drug loving music frequently heard it's nice to relax to.

    Minnie's voice was like a "Perfect Angel" and I love the trip back down "Memory Lane". A must have for all R/B Soul music lovers

    I bought the Minnie Riperton cd because I have always loved her music. I am trying to get all of her cd's. I love the songs on the cd and most of all I love her voice. There is nothing I dislike about the cd.
