Actor/Comedian MAYA RUDOLPH teamed up with TVone to offer a rare and intimate glimpse as she remembers her mother, the late great MINNIE RIPERTON.
Alongside Q-TIP, her father Richard and her mothers close friends, Rudolph talks about her early memories and life without Minnie (who died after a three year battle with breast cancer in 1979) and how Maya broke the news to her own daughter.

Tune in to TVone’s Unsung: Minnie Riperton on June 7th at 8pm. In the meantime check out Minnie in action with a live performance of her classic ‘Loving You.’





Touching and yes Maya, your mother sings in heaven
We are truly missing a beautiful person and a great voice.
