Rest in peace, Amy.

Amazing voice. Amazing talent. Rest in peace, Amy.

Just like many other artists. Just like our beloved Minnie. Amy Winehouse passed away just too soon. You will be remembered for your amazing talent. A true star, a true artist. May you rest in peace now.

Still Alive

 

32 years later, Minnie Riperton remains as the music queen of our era. Her spirit, talent and artistry will never be matched. Thanks to all the people out there helping to keep her spirit alive.

“More than anything I’ve learned it’s just as easy to be happy as it is to be unhappy – so we should all try and make that attempt to be happy, right?”

MINNIE RIPERTON
November 8th, 1947 – July 12th, 1979

She had been nominated for best soul artist along with  Aretha Franklin, who eventually won the award.
