Incredible that Minnie Ripperton sang this live in a TV studio. It’s like seeing an old theater in which stonemasons made intricate carvings on a ceiling you can just barely see because the idea was to do everything right, no shortcuts. Stevie Wonder produced the studio version; Ripperton says her daughter’s name in the outro, which must be bittersweet for her daughter to hear now. I know people who think this is cheesy but I find it very moving.
