- Harsher in Hindsight: "Stay with me while we grow old" (from "Lovin' You") sounds sadder when you consider Riperton died young from cancer five years after the song was a hit.
- Tear Jerker: The video for "Memory Lane"
, from her final album, 1979's Minnie. The album and video were released shortly before she passed away. The lyrics are about a woman remembering an old romance. But in the video itself, Riperton pores over photos of herself with her husband, and the sadness in her eyes is heartbreaking.
