One of those iconic 70's #1 singles, especially her high note that could shatter a mirror in a good way.

She died early, RIP.

Oh Dear.
Comedian Maya Rudolph is Minnie’s daughter, now about 45 y/o, says she used to get teased ‘without mercy’ about her mother’s hit song. It was as odd as it was unforgettable.

I don’t wish to be offensive, but I truly hated that song. I changed the station every time it came on.

No problem, the song was one of those love/hate songs of the 70's.

There are parts of the song that only dogs can hear.

I found it painful to listen to, one of the worst hit songs of all time.

reminds me of those simpletons who try to spice up the star spangled banner. It would be a toss up between this Riperton screech and Yoko Ono. just horrid.

Amazing voice. So sad she died so early in life.

“She died early,”

That’s my favorite part of the song
