  • One of the greatest voices ever, she's gone but definitely not forgotten! R.I.P Minnie

  • I had no idea that was her daughter!

  • Listen to this song while cleaning up your house with a scarf on your head and nothing, but

    A undershirt and jeans, you will be thinking of good times. My Views and opinions do not

    Reflect anyone on here or the actual person that uploaded this song, so please don't get all

    Offended and twisted and take it as offensive.

  • This song makes me think of my first love!!

  • Oh Minnie, thank you for being Our Angel

  • @educatorpoet|She also brought 'us' Maya Rudolph who is too darn funny.

  • My first love song when I was twelve...lol..in my forties now and my first love still sends me this on my phone...;)

  • In 1977, she became spokesman for the American Cancer Society. In 1978, Riperton also received the American Cancer Society's Courage Award which was presented to her at the White House by President Jimmy Carter. She died at age 31 on July 12, 1979. This song Back Down Memory Lane was sung weeks before she died. RIP Minnie. We Love You.

  • In January 1976 Riperton was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a radical mastectomy.[2] By the time of diagnosis, the cancer had metastasized and she was given about six months to live. Despite the grim prognosis, she continued recording and touring. Riperton was one of the first celebrities to go public with her breast cancer diagnosis, but did not disclose that she was terminally ill.

  • One of the few R&B Singers of her time that was able to hit 4 Octaves when she sung. She was very gifted may she rest in Peace and her songs live on thru us.
