Stevie Wonder paid tribute to Minnie Riperton on Soul Train shortly after her passing. After discussing their meeting and friendship, he sang a medley of "Perfect Angel" and "Lovin' You". I was there that day and remember it well. When Stevie starts singing Lovin' You at 6:50, I am in the top left corner of the screen. I was amazed to find myself on Youtube 30 years later - Michael Lewis, Soulmusic.com
