Lovin' You

"Lovin' You" by Minnie Riperton is a classic soul and R&B song known for its original key of A major. Released in 1975, the song tells a tale of deep affection and romance, with Riperton's ethereal vocals captivating listeners. She co-wrote the song with her husband Richard Rudolph, and it's notable for Riperton's incredible vocal range, including her famous high-pitched "whistle" notes. Interestingly, the melody of "Lovin' You" was inspired by Riperton's daughter, Maya Rudolph, whose baby noises influenced the song's iconic bird-like trills and coos.
