    On this day in history (April 5, 1975), Minnie Riperton’s single “Lovin’ You” became a number 1 hit on Billboard’s pop singles chart and went on to achieved the same status in over 20 countries around the world. She was married to songwriter and music producer Richard Rudolph and they had two children: music engineer Marc Rudolph and actress/comedienne Maya Rudolph.
    Minnie Riperton was born Minnie Julia Riperton on November 8th 1947, in Chicago, Illinois. She was the youngest of eight children, born to Daniel and Thelma Riperton. She studied classical music as a child and developed a five-octave vocal range and originally planned to become an opera singer.
    She studied music, drama, and dance at Chicago’s Lincoln Center received operatic vocal training from Marion Jeffery. Riperton began singing as a session singer at the Chess Records studio when she was just a teenager. She provided backing vocals on records by legendary artist Bo Diddley, Etta James, Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry.
    At age 16, Riperton signed her first professional contract and began singing with an all-girl group named “The Gems” on the Chess label. After “The Gems”, she joined the psychedelic rock group “The Rotary Connection”. During this time Riperton met songwriter and producer Richard Rudolph. They married in 1969 and had a son, Marc Rudolph. Together they worked on Riperton’s first solo album, 1969’s “Come to My Garden”. In 1972 she Riperton she gave birth to her daughter Maya Rudolph.
    Eventually, Riperton and her family moved to Los Angeles where she to become a member of Stevie Wonder‘s backing group, “Wonderlove”. After touring with Wonder, she returned to the studio to work on her second solo album, “Perfect Angel” which contained the international pop hit “Lovin’ You”. As the story is told, “Lovin’ You” was originally written as a lullaby for her then two-year-old daughter, Maya.
    In January 1976, Riperton was diagnosed with breast cancer and, in April, she underwent a radical mastectomy. At the time of diagnosis, cancer had metastasized and she was given about six months to live. She was one of the first celebrities to go public with her breast cancer diagnosis but did not disclose she was terminally ill. Despite her prognosis she continued recording and touring.
    Riperton became a spokesperson for the American Cancer Society in 1977. In 1978, she received the American Cancer Society’s Courage Award, which was presented to her at the White House by President Jimmy Carter. July 12, 1979, at age 31, Minnie Riperton succumbed to cancer in her husband’s arms while listening to a song written especially for her by her friend Steve Wonder.

    Listening to this as a child in the 70s this was great...as a 56 yr old man, this is beyond sexual, however its so poetic. This proves that you can be creatively descriptive, make a point, and maintain a high level of class and innocence." Unfortunately, in the 80s, creativity was replaced with vulgarity, and now in the 2020s have sexy redd and Lil Rt. I miss when music was music and you had to hone your craft to make it. No samples, no drum machines, only sitting in a room and making it up.

      I remember Leon Ware wrote this track and he said the same. Think he was a bit irritated people assumed it was all about sex.

      It is a cool double entendre even if it was not his intention when writing it, Minnie’s work always had seductive elements and her delivery definitely left room for interpretation shall we say.

    Man oh Man!!...didn't appreciate the 70's when I was a kid living it, took it for granted. Truly didn't know how good we had it. This was the era of originality and the legendary GREATS at there purest..can't you just feel the passion? Like someone had mentioned below this an old school mic minus the new technology without the latest State of the art extra enhanced sound effects, no studio touch ups..just the priceless voice of an angel, a passionate performance sounding better than the record..I could feel the LOVE in the music. That is no more today. The love is gone in the music.

    So many singers are compared to high octave phrases, listeners don't really hear the singer, its all about everything the singer does before during and after those highlights. I love Minnies' breathy notes, power and tender emotion laced with graceful moments of a knowing experience.

    OMFG, this is the 1st time that I have actually heard this original. I inherited my uncles massive vinyl collection and he had a heap of her records. Her voice is amazing and her high 'whistle' notes put Mariah Carey to shame. I love listening to stuff he listened too, he was a Motown fan from the beginning and his collection is full of beautiful soul, R&B, bluegrass etc. I'm blessed to be the curator of his music but so sad to have to sell them off as per his wishes 😢

    I'm born too late for the 70s (I was born in the early 90s) but I have goosebumps on how Minnie Riperton sounds live. I came across her because of Lovin' You from my mom's mixtape and fell into a rabbit hole of her songs. She sounds exactly the same as her recordings which is extremely rare with artists nowadays.
