TV One's Unsung - Minnie Riperton
Best known for mega-hits Back Down Memory Lane and Lovin’ You, Chicago native Minnie Riperton's career and life were cut short after a three- year battle with breast cancer in the 1970s when she was only 31 years old. Classically trained in opera at Chicago’s Lincoln Center, she had a vocal range of nearly six octaves. Riperton's mega-hit had forged a successful career singing and composing with the ground breaking ‘60s pop group Rotary Connection. After her cancer diagnosis, she went public instead of retreating, serving as the first African American spokesperson for the American Cancer Society. Premieres on TV One Sunday, June 7 at 7PM CT, repeating at 11 PM, as well as Thursday, June 11 at 10 PM and Friday, June 12 at noon and midnight.
