Minnie Riperton - Lovin' You (Midnight Special, 1975)
It seems that people like to make fun of this song for some reason, but it's always been one of my favorites. Minnie Riperton was gone too soon, but this song will live on. In this live version she does a variation of the original ending and takes the final notes even HIGHER than we hear in the single.
"Lovin' You" is a 1975 song originally performed by American singer Minnie Riperton from her second studio album Perfect Angel (1974). It was written by Riperton and Richard Rudolph, produced by Rudolph and Stevie Wonder, and released on January 13, 1975.
It became a number one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 on April 5, 1975. Additionally, it reached number two on the UK Singles chart, and number three on the Billboard R&B chart. In the US, Billboard ranked it as the number 13 song for 1975. The song is especially known for Riperton's use of the high whistle register in the song's bridge, and for the chirping songbirds heard throughout.
In 1975, "Lovin' You" was certified gold by the RIAA for sales in excess of 1,000,000 units.[2]
