And now, some Minnie Ripperton...

Les Fleur

Will somebody wear me to the fair?
Will a lady pin me in her hair?
Will a child find me by a stream?
Kiss my petals and weave me through a dream.

For all of these simple things and much more a flower was born
It blooms to spread love and joy faith and hope to people forlorn

Inside every man lives the seed of a flower
If he looks within he finds beauty and power

Ring all the bells sing and tell the people that be aware that the flower has come
Light up the sky with your prayers of gladness and rejoice for the darkness is gone
Throw off your fears let your heart beat freely at the sign that a new time is born

1. What a voice

Maya Rudolph of SNL is her daughter; she sang on The Rentals first CD, too.

I rememer "Lovin' You" when I was growing up..

2. Me too (hearing Lovin' You growing up)...

I still recall the day she passed, the radio stations then must have played her music all day long.

Maya has a great voice, too. How awful, for her to lose her mom at such a young age. :(
