Petals: The liner notes!

Petals: The liner notes!

Hey guys! It’s been a while since I don’t upload anything here (a million thank-you’s to Justin, who always has some rare pic to share with us! -that Donna Summer one, I love!) so here are the liner notes from Petals. Just click the link above.

I know it’s kinda weird to post something like this, but since there is so much info on Minnie’s life and career there, I thought it could make a nice quick read.

Thanks for keep visiting this blog, thanks for commenting, and thanks for keeping Minnie’s legacy alive.

Peace!

“The first pe…

“The first person that really reached out to me, who sadly isn’t with us anymore, is Minnie Riperton and her husband, Dick Rudolph. They were so kind to me. I can’t even tell you. They were so supportive and sort of took me under their wing. I don’t know why. They were just compassionate and kind. We would go out dancing together. It was right when Minnie was diagnosed with breast cancer, but she was still healthy. They really embraced me and I was very happy for that because I didn’t know anybody here in California. I was very lonely.”

She will be remembered as the mother of today’s music superstars. Her legacy will live forever.

Goodbye, rythm goddess.
