I just wanted to let you know that I have a web page devoted to Minnie
Rip under construction at my Funk music website at http://pages.prodigy.
com/funk/ There are reviews there of both "Perfect Angel" & "Adventures
in Paradise" that you can view along with some biographical information
on Minnie (if anyone has any info on here to contribute I would gladly
post it there).
As far as I'm concerned she NEVER got the props that were due her when
she died !!
Just go to the URL & scroll down to the artists grid & look for the
Minnie's name & click on the link to gt to the page.
(Erykah Badu owes Minnie Riperton a great deal)
"Adventures in Paradise" was Minnie's best album in my opinion.....it is
the album that I still put on when it's time for the "real funk" to
begin....:)
