Mini biography
Minnie Riperton was born November 8, 1947,in Chicago, Illinois to Daniel and Thelma Riperton. At a young age Riperton, the youngest of eight children, began taking dancing and ballet. Once she reached high school Riperton began singing in the Hyde Park Accapella Choir. From there she signed her first professional contract (age 16) and began singing with an all girl group named The Gems on the Chess label. After breaking from The Gems, Riperton made a complete switch and joined psychedelic rock group The Rotary Connection. She joined in 1967 and was installed as the lead singer in 1968. During her time with the Rotary Connection, Riperton met songwriter and producer Richard Rudolph. They married in 1969 and had a son, Marc. Together Rudolph and Riperton worked on Riperton's first solo album 1969's Come to My Garden which only received minimal success. Riperton rejoined with the Rotary Connection for their last album, 1971's Hey Love. After finishing work with them, Riperton relocated to Gainesville, Florida where she gave birth to her daughter Maya Rudolph. Eventually, she moved to Los Angeles to become a member of Stevie Wonder's backing group, Wonderlove.

Answer 2

Les Fleurs (remember the Bailey's commercial where the drinkers are flying around the room) and Lovin' You.

"Riperton was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a mastectomy in 1976. She became an active spokeswoman for the American Cancer Society and was awarded the Society Courage Award from President Jimmy Carter. She died in 1979 at the age of 31 and was interred in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles, California."

Answer 3

Yes, her most famous song has to be "Loving You." It's pretty well-known and I think it was recently in a Burger King commercial. Toward the end of the song, she says "Maya, Maya..." because she was singing about her baby daughter, Maya. That baby is now Maya Rudolph of SNL fame. Minnie Ripperton died of cancer in either the late 1970's or very early 1980's. I'm not sure because I wasn't around then.

Answer 4

I'm so sorry for your loss. It must be a terrible feeling to lose a child, I can't even begin to imagine the pain you're feeling. I think out of those three, As I Lay Me Down is the best choice. Ut is about death, and being so close that death is no obstacle. I wouldn't recommend the other two though. Other songs that are good are: 1. One Sweet Day - Mariah Carey/Boyz 2 Men. 2. You Raise Me Up - Westlife. 3. Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton.

Answer 5

Minnie Riperton, who had an amazing vocal range of 5-octaves, died of cancer on July 12, 1979. Her best know song is "LOVING YOU". Her daughter is Maya Rudolph of Saturday Night Live fame. At the end of "LOVING YOU" Minnie can be heard singing "Maya, Maya, Maya" in reference to her little daughter.
