Today I felt like listening to some classics, esp Minnie Riperton, and I stumbled upon this interview with her from 1979 - shortly before her passing. Janet Jackson could so play Minnie. As one commenter on YouTube mentioned, their demeanor (and looks, if you ask me) are very similar.
Anyway, this interview is funny - especially the story about the lion. I was only about 2 years old in '79 so this is the first I've heard about the lion attack. Nevertheless, what really struck me about the attack (other than how calm Riperton was about it) was that the first one on the scene was her husband. I mean, how many women can honestly say that their man would fight a lion for them? Shoot, how many people can say their spouse (or even a family member or friend) would do the same thing? Let's be real. I do have one friend who literally put herself in harm's way (bullets whizzing past her head) to save another friend. That's love.
