Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷMinnie Riperton - Whistle Notes in Live Performances Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

This is a compilation of Minnie Riperton htting her Whistles and Super Head Voice Notes in live concerts

Aside from her various hits, Riperton is perhaps best remembered today for her ability to sing in the whistle register, in which she had rare facility. Riperton possessed a five-octave vocal range (the liner notes to her Petals legacy album ascribe five-and-a-half octaves to her). Riperton's ability to enunciate in the high registers set her apart from most other whistle-register singers. Riperton was also noted for her ability to sound almost mechanical or instrumental in the whistle register. She has also been credited for her ability to sustain notes in the sixth and seventh octave for long periods of time. Having an innate ability to imitate many instruments helped lead to Riperton's discovery while she was a secretary at Chess Records.

Yes she was a lyric, colorutura, she could passages where others can only hit the notes. In the pop field she was best.

Minne's high notes< one of the most overrated singers ever Mariah Carey! Minnie's notes are much higher and don't sound forced like Mariah's. Instead of arguing with people on YouTube who don't like Mariah, maybe the lambs should've brought her last two albums..they flopped

She was trained as a light soprano using classical vocal technique and she had a natural stratospheric coloratura. These two circumstances made her the incredible singer that she was, natural talent for singing high notes and study, she can sing a complete scale from lower notes to whistle register up and down. I'm sorry if I'm an ignorant but There's no one like her nowadays (and I love Mariah Carey voice). Thank you for posting this video

You see The Creator when you hear her sing! A gift G-D gave her. He told her just open your mouth and it'll happen. People will know that I exist! All praises to The Creator!
