No other singer has the same whistle control that Minnie has. Actually can't think of any female vocalist that is generally as brilliant as Minnie. Used to play the album endlessly on repeat. Ps who told you she was underrated. No-one who ever heard her sing would think of her that way. Sadly she passed away much too soon. The title of her album says it all... Perfect Angel

I highly recommend Listening to a group called, The Rotary Connection, a Trippy ,Funk, Soul, psychodelic type band from the mid to late 60s. Minnie was in that group and there are sonic treasures in thier catalog

If u want a reaction off whistle ability alone, Ruby Tuesday (Live) & Silent Night from Rotary Connection r good 1s. Reasons & Our Lives from the Perfect Angel Deluxe album r great 2 do reactions on as well. Her catalogue is very diverse 4 her short time with us. She recorded soul, R&B, Folk, Psychedelic Rock, Jazz, World.
