Minnie Riperton & Three Degrees (CD)

2008 release that features recordings from two of the great female Soul acts of the '70s: Minnie Riperton and Three Degrees. Riperton was an American singer and songwriter noted for her rare five-and-a-half octave vocal range. Having an innate ability to imitate many instruments helped lead to her discovery while she was a secretary at Chess Records. The Three Degrees were a sensational trio who started as backing vocalists before moving into a hit making career under their own name. This collection features some of Riperton's finest performances with Rotary Connection plus Three Degrees performing their hits and more.
