Although it has been almost three decades since the singer's passing, Minnie Riperton remains an icon in popular music. Possessing a range that has yet to be topped (LISTEN, MARIAH CAREY!), Riperton had one of those voices that was beyond heavenly: lilting, enigmatic, soothing, passionate, subtle, seductive, and ethereal.

This compilation of two of her best features some of her best work: "Memory Lane," "Can You Feel What I'm Saying," "Light My Fire," "Dancin' and Acting Crazy," "Love Hurts," the dance-friendly "Stick Together," and "Lover and Friend".

For those that only know the singer from her "Lovin' You," used so prominently in advertising, this disc is a welcome introduction to the artist.

And for those that only know her as the mother of "Saturday Night Live" cast member Mya Rudolph, the album shows from where the daughter got her talent.

By now, everyone knows that Capital Records treats Minnie Riperton like a stepchild. What else can explain the reason why they reissue her records as high price imports? What else can explain why her cds are so hard to find? Minnie was a jewel and it's a shame she is not respected for her work. Maybe K. West's tribute to Minnie on his hit song "Slow Jam" is why both "Minnie" and the hard to find "Stay in Love" are being re-issued (*SIGH*, as high price imports) again. If you love 70s R&B, you shouldn't mind paying the price for this cd. After all, you are getting TWO cds for the price of one. The music is great. Even though, Minnie knew she was dying she gave it her all. You can feel the passion in her voice. Her song writing is both moving and beautiful and the production is classic. I HIGHLY recommend this cd.
