Minnie Riperton - Could It Be I'm In Love Lyrics

Had Mini known, in 79, about a special vegetable juice discovered in 1927, that cures cancer, even Leukemia, she'd still be here this moment and probably singing.

Camron brought me here...

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- OOOVVVE! !!

If you had never felt the effects of love before then you get the chance right here. Minnies expression was just sublime.

THE Best Minnie Ripperton song. It was even better "live" which is nowhere to be found on YouTube

Anyone who experienced Minnie live saw and heard a performance that was,artistically and technically a masterpiece. It was a spiritual revelation.

No comparison! The one the only...

Happy birthday, 11-8-17, to the best female singers that will always be, in heaven, R.I.P MS MINNIE

still missing you, Ms minnie, R.i.p.

She was so beautiful inside and outside. I didn't know her, but I miss her greatly! Just one day in the studio with her; to sing with her and watch her genius way of doing what she did!

I'm so in love wit Ms. Minnie Riperton! I wish I had known this angel on earth

AMAZING. MINNIE RIPERTON. Vocals so beautiful....

Minnie riperton. Donna summer, Isaac Hayes and Leroy Hutson my favs

Minnie riperton. Donna summer, Isaac Hayes and Leroy Hutson my favs

The incomparable Minnie Riperton. I absolutely love her. Her voice, her music and her spirit are so beautiful. A true songbird.

Mariah Carey needs to listen to many more Minnie Riperton

Mariah is beautiful too. Stop comparing, that's silly.

+Free Flow Mariah has her own unique and God given vocal gift. What made Minnie special is the sheer joy performing seemed to give her. Money and fame and record sales were secondary to her. She was never formulaic . Or predictable. She was constantly evolving and artistically expressing her emotions. Her music was for herself, her husband and kids not for mere commercial consumption. She knew her time was limited and sang what she genuinely felt from the heart.

it scares her but she's willing

Beautiful and so true to life.

That image of her with the Lion....How many of you have seen the video where the Lion actually decides to attack her as she's sitting on the couch! Look up this youtube video "Minnie Ripperton Interview on Sammy & Company Show 1975" They're discussing it, then they show the video clip. It didn't hurt her though.

nice vocies

beautiful woman

no Babs couldn't touch her.even the guy on unsung said she could sing Barbara Streisand out of the room

That is saying something. Know why? Because Babs can SING!

The true Queen Sheba of her and Soul time era We bow at your feet for your contribute of the Soul.

perfect angel

Amazing !

hear that?  it's called sincerity and enthusiasm.  thank you M.R. - promise me you'll be singing when i enter heaven's gate.

Holding those notes like Streisand! Although, I don't think Bab's could reach those octaves: ). Minnie was slayin' with those high notes!

Eu, bobo, ouvindo Minnie cantando!!!

The beautiful sole.

I can always  remember"Black Butterfly", The range that she could accomplish.....

black butterfly was sung by Denise Williams.. a close friend and they sang together also. but not minnies song.

+Derek Rucker Niecey was an amazing talent Also. She has her own fabulous body of work to experience.

She would be able to outsing anybody around, including Mariah..........

@akuapiatas Mariah has a most impressive instrument and technique. It is as an Artist dedicated to expression and integrity to her craft and as a person of humility, kindness. graciousness, level headedness and social conscious that Minnie Riperton stands apart. Mariah has at times blindly, pursued fame,money and publicity far more than artistic integrity and emotional maturity. I have no criticism of her talent however what she does with it is the issue. She has chased a string of formulaic,chart topping hits rather than delved into her own soul or tried to find new avenues of expression.or explored new musical idioms. She is a great singer but often does 3rd rate and contrived material. Minnie sang from her heart and soul and for her children husband and fans . Commercial success was secondary .Artistic and creative expression was everything to her.

@akuapiatas I recently learned that Mariah struggled with emotional disorders and this explains much of the downward trajectory of her recordings and their somewhat robotic assembly line like output. I hope as she gains insight and awareness she begins to use the Great vocal gift she has to full potential. She also has great talent as a composer. Indeed her best may be yet to come!

*no one on this planet can compare😍*

She's much better

I don't like Mariah songs her personality much less

And no auto tune anywhere on this song!!

That chest voice is really so perfect and relaxed and beautiful. The whistle register, so real. unquestionable. With such precision and warmth. A real Angel, a Perfect angel. VOICE VoICe VOICE. Lyric Angelic Coloratura Soprano. 

Her daughter looks just like her, Maya Rudolph from SNL

doesn't sound like her though lol

Wow, I forgot all about this song, it truly highlights all of Minnie exceptional and one of a kind talent. 

This cut is so new to me and I really be digging it.
FF Fan and fav. Thanx for a great post OP.
erie'

We had a Real angel.There is one who can sing like here at all

wow minnie fan me to from the late 70's

Una voz hermosa,descance en paz.

"MY FAVORITE SONG BY MINNIE RIPERTON" - DJS - 8/19/13

Love love love!!! Wow angel for sure.

its kinda crazy how high she can sing without any issues and still hitting every note perfectly with ease.

u got that right

God please i beg you help us reexperience real musicianship and real real singers liek this. We miss you Minnie and now you sing in the heavens with other great truly gifted artists, how i wish for a renaissance of artistry.

i have been a fan ever since i heard that beautiful voice, and is sounds just as beautiful as the first day i heard it, minnie you are and will always be the perfect angel. i miss you. and i will tell you that many people will try but no one could ever take your place or ever have your style of voice. R.I.P. beautiful, you will never be forgotten, 10-21-12

I DON'T KNOW NOT ONE SONG IN 2012 THAT SOUNDS BETTER THAN THIS, AND DON'T KNOW NOT ONE VOICE THAT CAN COMPETE WITH MINNIE'S VOICE.

It's obvious 5 people are not in love with GREAT MUSIC

love Minnie...a voice of an angel.

i was born in 1977. d@ was da yr of luv.. i grew up on dis kind of soulful music. i am truly blessed! dis is da type of music u really feel.

I'm a teenager at 15 years old. But I'm in love with Minnie too! :)

5 people that viewed this video are retards.. Go to hell you dislikers!

<3 Minnie , thank you

お得意ﾊｲﾄｰﾝ･ｵｸﾀｰヴが炸裂のﾐﾆｰ･ﾘﾊﾟｰﾄﾝ"Could It Be I'm In Love"･･あなたは本当に楽園に逝ったんだﾈ!

Love You Tube kept me sane,time and time again.

This is a vocalist, for sure....Love her.

This a vocalist Extraordinaire! Too many mere singers are labeles Artist these data Minnie Riperton Rudolph was a true Artist! She has complete mastery of her craft and refined it to perfection.

yes, yes it is :)

@radiootoo Yes Yes............

Oh. My. Gosh!!!!!!

encore~!!!!!

Love this song, Love this woman, she puts her 'all' into all her music, there should be no 'dislikes' to this or any other of Minnie's music; Real people know Real good music, this is real, because it is Real Love by a lovely lady and her fantastic voice, Minnie Riperton

@illuminatrix106 She was definitely a gift from God&I know you mean well but God didn't take her away,disease did,she died prematurely. God doesn't give us sickness10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Ppl die prematurely bcs of ignorance of God's promises & how to appropriate them. [My ppl perish for lack of knowledge]

@depluv2 ... don't mind those folks who hit the dislike button, there are many out there who claim to 'love' music and are fed on a constant diet of musical rubbish that they have no clue how to discern quality music when they get the chance to hear it.

4 dislikes!!!! Are you serious?

Stevie had a knack for working with angelic voices ie Minnie, Deniece Williams, his ex-wife Syreeta. Even Angela Winbush.

@intelegentable WOW! Your description of her is so AMAZINGLY on point. The sincerity in her notes. Muah

and before there was Mariah there was Minnie

She died before I was born, I wish I could have seen her live. The first time I heard this song I cried. I was like 12 years old and it blew me away

@Jenifah2007 OMG!!! thats where I heard it! Do you know who sings that version?

i lovee this songg (: i miss youu .She's Sooo amazingg (:
