Maya Rudolph and Minnie Riperton
It was in 1975 that soprano Minni Riperton made waves in the music industry with the hit Lovin’ You. Minnie was among the first recording artists to have sung in the whistle register. The unfortunate demise of Riperton came in the form of cancer. It was after her diagnosis in 1976 that she got to know she has only a few years to live. Her loss was one of the most tragic ones for her fans, but we’re quite certain she ensured proper health insurance for her daughter.
Maya Rudolph, survive Minnie Riperton. Maya is a wonderful comedian and a great actress. She brings in a lot of joy and entertainment to her audience through her films. Maya was just a child when her mother passed away and today that she’s grown up, we can’t help but find the similarities she shares with her mother rather striking.
