Minnie looks so beautiful here! Her eyes are glowing
BEAUTIFUL picture. Minnie looks so good here. So sad that she passed away the year this picture was taken. She doesn’t look ill at all. Thanks for posting these pictures.
I became a fan in 1976 at five years old. There was music in my home of Minnie Riperton. My parents were young, fresh out of college when they married and had me. They stayed playing the best groups and singers. As an inquisitive child I remember Minnie speaking at the White House with then President Jimmy Carter, the ABC Special she did with her family right before she died ( can’t find it anywhere now ) and more. My mother brought me the MINNIE album I was Officially A STAN like many others today. I have some rarities I’ve collected over the years and the UNSUNG definitely was the icing for me. Your site is incredible. I will certainly spread the word. I’ve added you to the blogroll. Keep up the amazing work. Minnie’s music and voice is timeless and generations continue to fall absolutely in love like others before them. I will visit often.

This very well could have been close to her death because of the hairstyle. She only wore her hair like that as far as I can remember during the last year or two from her last albums – also the nails are a clue too. Same style like on the albums of the last. Great photo. She looks happy.
What a cute picture of Minnie! I agree, Panxo, but I think her entire face is aglow. She just seems super happy in that moment in time.
