Minnie Riperton (as I've always seen it spelled) died in the late seventies or early eighties, I believe of cancer or some such. She had a hit, "Loving You," in the seventies (I think that's her "best-known" song, so to speak). Nowadays, I hear about her the most when people are comparing Mariah Carey's vocal range to hers -- Minnie had an astronomical soprano voice. -- -----Susan Harwood Kaczmarczik-------------------------------*<:-)------------- "Queens never make bargains." -- The Red Queen, _Through the Looking Glass_ -----amadeus@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu--------------The University of Texas @Austin---
