如很多人以为《loving you》的原唱是shanice，其实loving you原唱是Minnie Riperton，由Minnie Riperton和丈夫共同谱写，本歌于1975年一月首度进榜，十一个星期后，就在四月五日夺得了全美的，也让全球歌迷注意到了这个惊人的美声。由于原唱配乐太过朴实，近于清唱，因此稍逊于shanice，造成在世界各国中流传的均是配乐华丽兼唱功绝顶的shanice翻唱，真正的原唱反而没流传开。今天就让小编带着大家，来听一听原唱的声音。
Minnie Riperton（1947.11.8—1979.7.12），蜜妮·莱普顿是美国歌手，有“海豚女王”的美誉。
1947年11月8日，蜜妮莱普顿出生于芝加哥，自幼学习声乐、戏剧与舞蹈，后来甚至还一度几乎成为一个歌剧女演员。
Minnie Riperton（蜜妮莱普顿）只可惜，才刚刚开始成名，她就在1976年发现自己患了乳癌。1979年Minnie Riperton病逝于洛杉矶，享年方31岁。有着足足五个八度音阶的宽广音域，堪称有史以来天赋的女歌手之一，可惜在歌坛却只能昙花一现。《Loving you》成为她留给世人的绝响。
词：
Lovin' you is easy cause you're beautiful
Makin' love with you is all I wanna do
Lovin' you is more than just a dream come true
And everything that I do is out of lovin' you
La la la la la la la... Do do do do do
No one else can make me feel

Stay with me while we grow old
And we will live each day in springtime
Cause lovin' you has made my life so beautiful
And every day my life is filled with lovin' you
Lovin' you I see your soul come shinin' through
And every time that we oooooh
