Minnie Julia Riperton Rudolph
Why is Minnie Julia Riperton called the “Queen of the Whistle Register”? Well, let us just say that not everyone has her five-octave coloratura soprano vocal range. She released “Loving You” in April 1975 and received a lot of acclaim for it. The song was part of “Perfect Angel,” the album that she released the year before. It has since gone gold. The world mourned her passing. She was only 31 years old.
