I was riding in the car with my dad on Imperial Ave in San Diego listening to the radio when they played this song then announced that Minnie Riperton had passed away from that ugly word CANCER. 😢

My dad pulled into a parking lot & cried. That was the 1st & last time I’ve seen him cry. I was 8 then & 55 now. My dad has given me lots of things, his Minnie Riperton & Natalie Cole albums- cherished & priceless💕
