An amazing vocalist with an impressive five octave range, Minnie Riperton will go down in the annals of Soul music history as one of the greatest singers of the 20th Century, even though her career was cut short by cancer - she was only 31 years old when she died. Produced, arranged, and orchestrated by Charles Stepney in 1970, Riperton's first solo album, Come to My Garden, largely went unnoticed upon its initial release in 1970, but has since become recognized as a masterpiece by fans and critics alike. All selections have been newly remastered.

Digitally Remastered Two Albums on One Disc of Original Albums Released by the Late Singer/Songwriter. Her Four Octave Range is Legendary and the Hit Single "Lovin' You" was the First Time Many People Had Ever Heard a Woman with the Ability to Hit Those High Notes. This Set Includes that Hit Single Along with Tracks from the Album it Came Out on and It's Follow Up.

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.

Minnie Ripeton's voice was one of the most versatile and rich instruments ever heard. Her range, as showcased in 'Lovin You' was incredible, but it's the seductive tones of songs like 'Inside my Love' that really shine. 'Les Fleurs' and 'I Am the Black Gold of the Sun' are a trimphant and joyous psychedelic treat. Also included is a duet of 'Light my Fire' with Jose Felliciano. 14 tracks in all. EMI.

2007 UK reissue of this seven track album from the unique Soul/Pop vocalist best known for her hit 'Lovin' You'..
