minnie riperton
The 1974 #1 hit Lovin' You was Minnie Riperton's one really big hit. And she died tragically at age 31 so sadly we'll never get to see what else she could do. She was born Nov. 8, 1947 in Chicago and started out as a dancer. Phonte points out Minnie Riperton and Chrisette Michelle, whom I both love, are successful (well relatively successful) and that they made it or are making in the industry without exposing themselves. While this is true, the reality is Minnie Riperton [info] classicgirl 2009-05-11 11:59 pm UTC (link). (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread).
