"Minnie Ripperton Come To My Garden"
Do you watch Minnie's daughter, Maya Rudolph, on Sat. Night Live? Maya can sing anything. She did a wonderful tribute to her late Mom on Mother's Day a few years ago.
No, I had no knowledge of her child. I knew she married Richard Rudolf. Thanks for letting me know - I will certainly try to find her music. Her parents had some excellent musical DNA. Are you familiar with the Come To My Garden album? Most never heard of it, as it was made on the Cadet/Chess label in Chicago in 1969/70. The arranger was Charles Stepney, the genius behind Earth Wind & Fire, who coincidentally died the same year Minnie did. They made this after Rotary Connection and before she left Chi-Town for LA. It's available on an import from Australia. Incredible.
