Minnie Riperton was an American singer-songwriter and musician who was active in the music industry from the mid-1960s until her death in 1979. She is best remembered for her 1975 hit single, "Lovin' You".

Riperton began her career as a backing vocalist for various artists such as Etta James, Rotary Connection, and later for Stevie Wonder, whom she met through her then-husband, composer and producer Richard Rudolph. She released her debut solo album, Come to My Garden, in 1970, which was followed by the successful Perfect Angel in 1974, which included her hit single "Lovin' You". The album also included the classic soul ballad, "Inside My Love".

Riperton's other notable albums include Adventures in Paradise (1975) and Stay in Love (1977). Her other popular songs include "Stick Together", "Every Time He Comes Around", and "Memory Lane".

An interesting fact about Minnie Riperton is that she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1976 and died three years later at the age of 31. She was posthumously inducted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Hall of Fame in 2006.
