Hi Storm,

I like Minnie Riperton's song lyrics, can't recall hearing the song.  I do know 'Lovin You' which was and is a beautiful song.

Did she sing " I just want be free "  ??   I have that song buzzing in my head now, but no idea who sang it, it was a similar slowww song.

Yep! She sure did. I think it was on Perfect Angel, which is also where 'Lovin' You' came from.

I'm absolutely sure that Carey listened to Riperton - or her voice teacher did. Carey uses a lot of the same techniques, like the incredible high notes at the end of "Lovin' You'...

Thanks Storm,

Been googling and it's been driving me nutty trying to find it    Yes, I agree, think Mariah Carey modelled Minnie Riperton.  Appatently, Minnie Riperton has quite a following amongst today's music lovers, just seen that she features highly on YouTube, with comparisions to Carey.

Off to get the lyrics for "I just want to be free" now!!
