What we're making is history
Fooling impossibility
Making love, not a fantasy
Love is true, love is you
Making story book dreams come true
Feeling just enough love for two
There's such magic in being with you
Cause it's true, loving you
And I think you are the perfect angel
I think you are the perfect one
And I think you are the perfect angel
I think you are the perfect one
Long ago we played hide-go-seek
Kissing under the apple tree
Who could tell me that this would bring
me to you, you to me, yeah
Since the start, you have been my love
Giving infinite paradise
Every night I wanna thank Him twice for your love
Your sweet love
My mama told me if I was goodie
That I would find me someone to love me
I was an 11th grader when "Perfect Angel" wafted out of the radio & into my life in Brooklyn, 1989. It was the sweetest melody I ever heard, and I've heard many. But upon hearing it for the first time I instantly connected & became one with the song. The life in Minnie's voice as she craftily made Stevie Wonder's lyrics float to the listener's ears. The distinctive backup harmony of R&B veteran Denise Williams (Black Butterfly, Let's Hear it for The Boy). And that tasty electric piano was the "perfect" musical accomodation to the legendary talent already involved. I bought the album in Times Square's Colony Records In 1990 for 40 bucks & when I saw the ice cream cone drip down Minnie's hand I knew it was worth every penny. To this day it is the only song that can lift my spirits on the darkest day without fail. If Maya Rudolph can read this I hope she knows what a powerful, positive impact her mother's song has had on my entire life and identity. In 1992 I once cut a rap demo talking about ghetto love with a "Perfect Angel" sample as the driving backdrop out in Jamaica, Queens. Living and raising a daughter now in Atlanta, this song still inspires me to have the best days of my life. Now my little 6-year old digs it too. It's my favorite alltime song. Bless you, Minnie.
