The Best of Minnie Riperton is a posthumous greatest hits album by Minnie Riperton, released in 1981. The album consists of the hits like "Perfect Angel", "Lovin' You", "Inside My Love", and "Adventures in Paradise". Also included is one of her last released singles "Here We Go" from the album Love Lives Forever and "You Take My Breath Away" from the same album; a new remix of "Memory Lane"; unreleased live versions of "Can You Feel What I'm Saying?", "Lover And Friend", and "Young, Willing, & Able"; two brief dialog tracks called "Moments with Minnie"; and a cover of Joni Mitchell's "I Am A Woman of Heart And Mind", a holdover from the Minnie sessions, as the "new" track. Nothing from the Come to My Garden album appears here, nor does her early Chess Records releases as Andrea Davis or her material as a member of Rotary Connection (That would come later in 2001 on the 2-CD set Petals: The Minnie Riperton Collection). This album only covers her tenures with both Epic Records and Capitol Records.
