Minnie Ripperton watch the Unsung marathon this weekend.
Had to pay tribute to the Perfect Angel
The girl had some pipes. And she was beautiful as well. Her late 60's look was fierce! There are pics of her when she was with an early band called the Rotary Connection.

Oh that's right. Her husband wrote that song for her. It is written in first person from a flower's perspective. Pretty clever. That is when songwriters really knew how to write. I am really beginning to get into 70's music for the lyrical content, the rhythm, the musicality...
Okay, I will stop there.. I am starting to sound like In Living Color Booked on Phonics...

I agree i love Edge of a Dream and i would love to hear either Chante Moore or Mariah Carey do this song....I believe Chante Moore would do a GREAT job like she has with other Minnie Riperton classics paying homage to a TRUE legend as only Chante Moore can, i applaude her!! | |

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |
