Why Minnie Riperton?

July 12th is Minnie Riperton Memorial Day. Says me. Minnie was just 31 when she passed in 1979, years before her mother and father. She left a husband and children she desperately loved. Why Minnie? Maybe because she was a misplaced angel. She was an other-worldly singer, a prophet's voice of there...here. Listen to her songs and hear love on display. She made herself great, and was made great. Sadly, her kind of great is not allowed to remain long on the earth. Prophets see their time is short and humbly do what they can. Minnie sang. Listen.
