Minnie Riperton Biography
With a startling five-octave vocal range, Artist was one of the most technically accomplished singers in R&B history. Unfortunately, with the exception of the delicate 1975 single "Loving You," Riperton never achieved the commercial success she deserved. The Chicago native first recorded as part of the girl group The Gems. Later, under the name Andrea Davis, she became the lead singer of the psychedelic soul group Rotary Connection. In the early '70s, Riperton joined Stevie Wonder's backing group, Wonderlove; Wonder secured a solo contract for Riperton and produced several of her records. Riperton died of breast cancer in 1979.
