Minnie Riperton fanpage on FACEBOOK / minniejuliariperton "Light My Fire" Music Video - Minnie Riperton Featuring José Feliciano. From her 1979 MINNIE album
Jose and Minnie met in an episode of the show "Soul Train" in 1975 and became friends, they was desired to do a work together and when Jose knew Minnie in 1979 was in studio to recording of "Light My Fire" inspired by his version, He rush there to recording the last part with her.
She passed just a couple months after this single was released. She passed but she will never truly die. How lucky to be able to hear her voice. She was the sexiest most passionate singer ever. RIP
I would actually go back further. This beautiful woman had multiple hits all through the 70s before she passed. I heard them all on the radio. Many of her songs have been sampled by many artists from the past 20+ years
I feel the same way about Minnie Riperton. There's an episode of "Unsung" to confirm that she didn't get more recognition by the music industry. She grew up in Chicago about the same time as the Hutchinson sisters (The Emotions) and Yvette Stevens (Chaka Khan). I don't think these women get the recognition they deserve. The Emotions were featured in an episode of "Unsung" also. And Chaka Khan is so powerful that she doesn't care what shallow people think. I think it's a shame that this video has so few views and comments.
Yes i agree 100000 percent, not sure why as she put out differently amazing music, you couldn't pigeon hole her to r&b, she transcended it. It breaks my heart that she didn't have more hits, as she was so worthy of more 😢
I am a huge fan remember exactly where I was when Minnie passed away July 12, 1979. I've seen this video a hundred times & never noticed her right until you mentioned it. Now I'm at work in tears because she died so young. I am also a 2x survivor & I'm thankful for each day. Grateful I can still hear this songbird. Continue to rest Ma'am.
And more! I've heard people talk about the cancer disabling her right arm. Watching this video shows how strong she was. At the end with Jose Feliciano she has me feeling so much joy!
ms minnie, on this day July 12th, 1979 you had to leave your family and the rest of us, and still to this day you are forever loved and missed, and I your number 1 fan will always listen to the beautiful music you left us always, R.i.p beautiful angel.. 7-12-17
Happy Happy Birthday Minnie! You were one of the best singers who ever walked this planet. It is s shame you didn't get a longer life but I am glad you did have a life and left all this great music behind. You are so very missed!
i have and will always love minnie riperton, i had been her no 1 fan since i was 15 and now i am 52 years old, i cryed when she passed but i know that as long as we still have her music and video's she will alway be here. R.I.P. minnie this video show's just how beautiful you will always be to me. you are so missed and forever loved. 12-2-12
And I also can't believe she had such a beautiful soul , heart etc. She continued to go on with her family, career , and basically bring breast cancer to the public. She is an Angel and she loved her family with everything she had. What a gift that was shared by her and her singing and her positive cute funny personality. I know she was taken so so very young and her poor husband and especially her beautiful children are proud of her and miss her so terribly. I'm glad they have a lot of interviews etc with her so I and I'm sure tons of people who weren't even born in the 70's know when they here her Angelica voice.
This was performed in the last months of Her life! She, during these months, stated Her Life was reminiscent of Cinderella, She was living Her Fairy Tale. I feel the Heavens needed Her and She is singing with Our Ministering Angels and Whispering in Her Grand children ear last breath before they fall asleep each night
Wow! Never seen this video or heard the song before. Great version of Jose's classic remake of The Door's first hit. Minnie was a talent with a voice only GOD could have blessed her with. Gone way too soon.....R.I.P.
I miss you. ms minnie, you are one of a kind and no one has never and could never take your place, you are always and will always be a perfect angel. R.I.P lady, you. are. forever loved and always missed.
I am so grateful to finally see some footage to this song that I wore out on Vinyl only to be replaced as CD. Love does live forever. God Bless Richard, Maya, & Marc...& Minnie of course...you are The Perfect Angel 🥰
MUCHO CALIENTE, I HOPE THAT"S CORRECT, I DON'T WANT 2 OFFEND ANY 1, I WANT 2 LEARN SPANISH, NEW YEARS RESOLUTION!!!!! SHE WAS JUST AWESOME, I DID'NT REALIZE HOW SEXY SHE WAS TIL I GOT MUCH OLDER, BUT I ALSO REALIZED HOW CLASSY SHE WAS, GONE 2 SOON, JOSE WAS SMOKIN 2, VERY HANDSOME.
Used to listen to this as a child,my sister is a lifetime Minne fan & our neighbor played Jose for me all the time.I remember feeling her death when it was said her husband held her during her last words, whenever I hear her,that crosses my mind.🙏🙏
Uma curta passagem , mas uma longa mensagem, foi-se muito cedo, um talento gigantesco, voz incomparável. Artistas assim, levam décadas pra surgirem outras semelhantes, mas até aqui ainda não surgiu uma voz assim , perfeita, delicada, uma rosa sem espinhos
This would be the last song released by Minnie Riperton. This sing should have been a hit, but for whatever reason, wasn't. And it's one of my favourites of hers. Continue to SIP beautiful Minnie. 💜

When he harmonized with her whistle note... shit, I felt that.
This woman had more class than all the pop stars of the last 20 years combined.
She sings from the Heart
jajohnson7809 Agreed, so Sad 😭 That Cancer took her away from us #FUKCANCER
Bless you beautiful Queen Minnie.🤗

@Uzhieka Rose lol
Just relax love 😂😂
She was soooooooo underrated!!!! It makes Me so angry that music this beautiful is overlooked.
She was not underrated..

She wasn't.
Her songs are not pop enough. All of them are in the right place as they don't belong to sung-by-everyone type.
Yes i agree 100000 percent, not sure why as she put out differently amazing music, you couldn't pigeon hole her to r&b, she transcended it. It breaks my heart that she didn't have more hits, as she was so worthy of more 😢
I thought I was already jammin' to the hilt while Minnie was singing. Then Jose' kicked in. I lost my mind.
Me too!!!
The only voice that could compete...
When he started singing in Spanish AT 3:35....that shit was SO smooth! GOD bless you Jose...a LEGEND!
She's so passionate and intimate when she sings
She feels every lyric and word!
if you dont love this song you are not invited to the cookout.
This woman still bring tears to my eyes. Amazing. We love you Minnie....
Mine too Terrance!
If there's a heaven, I hope she knows how much joy and happiness she is giving to me.
Yesssss. Agreed
See even Jose saw how beautiful Minnie was!
And Jose is blind. He felt the beauty of her spirit.
@@martyemmons8692 Exactly!
Yes. 👍
I wish they would make a biopic about her ! 🙏
My favorite LPS in '68 were all Rotary Connection and Beatles. Minnie was a force to be reckoned with. There will never be another Minnie
You can tell she was very sick because the lymphedema rendered her right arm immobile by this point..but she always smiled. . RIP Perfect Angel
You can tell singing/music comforted her during this time in her life...her face is so expressive

What beautiful voices. Minnie was suffering from cancer at that time. It came back after years in remission.
Used to listen to this as a child,my sister is a lifetime Minne fan & our neighbor played Jose for me all the time.I remember feeling her death when it was said her husband held her during her last words, whenever I hear her,that crosses my mind.🙏🙏
THAT BASS LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET IT JOSE AND JOSE'
Such a sweet voice.Thanks!
Uma curta passagem , mas uma longa mensagem, foi-se muito cedo, um talento gigantesco, voz incomparável. Artistas assim, levam décadas pra surgirem outras semelhantes, mas até aqui ainda não surgiu uma voz assim , perfeita, delicada, uma rosa sem espinhos
WOW, WOW ,WOW AMAZING
I'm rediscovering Minnie's music, now going back to Rotary Connection. My friend had the 8-track (yes) of "Minnie."
Grew up on this.
My mum cleaned the house from top to bottom playing Minnie ♥️
Voice of an angel. Very much missed.
une des plus belle voix et un groove très estivale
TRULY A REAL ANGEL ON EARTH
Wao!! Que tesoro he encontrado ❤
Por Dios. ¡Que gran regalo nos dejó Minnie!! Que hermoso su voz al cantar y hablar en español. 🌹💕
Hoooly shit
...this is awesome
Her serious softness over those dope bass lines.
Dios tenga en la gloria a esta bellísima voz, mi admiración para ella
She was/is so beautiful and adorable and of course, that voice. I love her "oohs" and facial expressions.
This would be the last song released by Minnie Riperton. This sing should have been a hit, but for whatever reason, wasn't. And it's one of my favourites of hers. Continue to SIP beautiful Minnie. 💜
I love all if her slow jams an this my first time seeing this video wow rip minnie repeaton
