The soul songbird, Minnie Ripperton‘s sprightly voice has made many of us swoon and sway thousands of times over. Her impossible notes on “Loving You” might have solidified her as a star, but her voice already made her a soul dream come true. Today, we celebrate the life of this Chicago native, who’s light was snubbed far too soon by the effects of cancer.
Honoring her memory, we present this collection of songs of hers that you likely have never heard. Beginning with “Les Fleurs”, you can follow this link to all of the other tracks on on the Come to My Garden album. Celebrate this unsung legend with us!
