Maya Rudolph On Her Mother’s Iconic Album: Minnie Riperton's Perfect Angel: Part 4

it's amazing to me although not surprising that it is such an iconic song and record only because it's it was the debut of this special quality that my mother had and people just people were people were blown away so it was really there like her big introduction to a lot of people it feels like a perfect time capsule to of her like it just kind I feel like that the record really encapsulate s' I mean it sounds like my childhood so I mean I'm a little biased but like it just sounds like a perfect example of that time and like everything coming together in in the right way and and you know over the course of my life I've become like a receptor to the world that people that want to tell me want to tell her how great she was and how much the song affected their lives and how much you know her music meant to them and how it was special her voice was like I'm the person by association you know that's and it's fascinating for many years of my life it was so hard and I was just like it's too much it's too much but then I grew up and then I um you know I took such enormous pride in knowing that she really stands out as this individual this one-of-a-kind gem of a human being and of of a recording artist and of a performer and really of a woman I mean all the things I've learned about her and I mean I've I'm big now like I'm not a little girl thinking you know talking about my mom like my mom was 31 when she died and 45 like I'm so much older than she was and I've I've had so much time to really process all the information I didn't really want to talk about or think about and the old days but like the amount that she did and the time that she did it in the impact that she had is astonishing and yet makes perfect sense for her ability because she was she was just special
