ALBUM COVER SPOTLIGHT: MINNIE RIPERTON


I have always been a fan of Minnie Riperton and the glorious voice that she had. Even though I was only five years old when she passed away in 1979, I have distant memories of that sad day. There are not too many singers today who can match the vocal power and ability of Minnie Riperton. Mariah comes the closest, but not quite.

This cover is from the last studio record that she made titled "Love Lives Forever." It was released posthumously in 1980. The cover conveys perfectly what a beautiful person she was in life and why she is still loved, cherished and remembered to this day.
