Love Lives Forever

Released posthumously in 1980, "Love Lives Forever" is a heartfelt and beautifully arranged tribute to the incomparable Minnie Riperton. Using previously recorded vocal tracks, the album surrounds her voice with lush, contemporary arrangements and features an all-star supporting cast including Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, and George Benson. Tracks like "Here We Go" and "I'm in Love Again" showcase Riperton's angelic range and emotional depth, reminding listeners of her unique gift. The production bridges late '70s soul with early '80s quiet storm, creating a timeless, romantic atmosphere. While tinged with sadness, the album is ultimately a celebration-proof that Riperton's voice, indeed, lives forever.
