Minnie Riperton's "Les Fleur",,,Who Woulda Thought?

I mean, what motivated a person to even think about writing a lyric from a flower's perspective?

just 3 hours ago I was just listening to minnie sing this on youtube! I was in the mood to hear her, Phyllis Hyman, Angela Bofill, and Patti Austin, and when I got to this song on my youtube mix, i was thinking the same exact thing!

Lord, I sometimes I wonder what music she could have continued to make had she not passed on heart

This actually made me wonder though, does Richard Rudolph still keep writing music? He could've carried the torch from Burt Bacharach if he had the drive.

I didn't realize how much of a gifted lyricist he is until I listened thoroughly to Come To My Garden.
