Editorial Reviews

Seldom has the name of an album been more apt: Minnie Riperton possessed a perfectly angelic voice. This utterly entrancing 1974 set generated Minnie s breakthrough to mainstream stardom, its gold record status fueled in large part by its mammoth hit 'Lovin You.' Cut at the Record Plant in L.A. with Stevie Wonder s band (anchored by bassist Reggie McBride and drummer Ollie Brown) in succulent support, 'Perfect Angel' was an altogether enchanting vehicle for Riperton s five-and-a-half-octave vocal range. She could effortlessly float all the way up into Yma Sumac territory while retaining a singular spine-chilling soulfulness. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars "A "PERFECT" MAJOR LABEL DEBUT...", November 25, 2001
By 
L. Kelsey "lkelsey" (Riverside, CA. United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Perfect Angel (Audio CD)
was this album back in 1974. With the hit single "Lovin' You" leading the way, Minnie put together an album that exposed the world to this fine singer-songwriter. It's an original work, one that could be called "Neo-Soul" for its time. Minnie touches on a wide range of influences with this project. The rockin' "Everytime He Comes Around," the jazzy "Take a Little Trip," the "Stevie Wonderish" "Perfect Angel." All the tunes are interpreted in a unique, special way and Minnie touches your soul through her amazing voice, the voice of an angel. Those who thought Minnie was a one hit wonder found out otherwise with her second album, "Adventures in Paradise" which further showcased her original talent, a talent we still miss to this day. "Perfect Angel" is just that: PERFECT IN EVERY WAY and a CLASSIC!

5.0 out of 5 stars Her best work!, July 9, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Perfect Angel (Audio CD)
Minnie's voice is always so pure and clear as to defy description, but Stevie Wonder's arrangements make this album the best of all her work. Literally, the songs are so beautiful, they will bring you to tears. If you haven't heard this music since you got rid of your record collection, treat yourself to the CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars when a Album Meant something, May 25, 2002
This review is from: Perfect Angel (Audio CD)
this Album is something else.Minnie Riperton has Deniece Williams another Dynomite Singer,Michael Sembello a Solid Session Musician who was a part of Stevie Wonder's Band&Who later went on to do Songs for Films&a ton of other Session work. then there is Stevie who Musically clicked really strongly with Minnie&Her range.the title cut alone is pure Magic.the arrangements,harmonys&Musicianship are all Strong to me.it's the kind of Album where things all fell into place really well.Minnie Riperton was a Great Vocalist&Writer.I'd take Her over anything that is out now without thinking twice.
