4. DANCIN' & ACTIN' CRAZY - MINNIE RIPERTON (MINNIE album)

TRACK 4. Dancin' & Actin' Crazy (R.Rudolph, Waldman) Album Released May 9, 1979 Minnie is the fifth and final studio album (not counting a posthumous release the following year) by Minnie Riperton. She died of cancer two months after its release. It was also her first album for Capitol Records. With a new record deal under her belt and a guarantee from the label of priority marketing/promotion, Minnie went right to work on what would be her final album. With husband Richard Rudolph, Keni St. Lewis, Gene Dozier, Randy Waldman, Marlo Henderson & Bill Thedford contributing songs, the album served as Minnie's final statement to the music world and fans. Minnie brought son, Marc and daughter Maya Rudolph into the studio to sing background on "Dancin' & Actin' Crazy," while the tender "Lover & Friend" was the perfect ode to her relationship with Richard. Minnie was at her most playful self on her remake of the Doors' "Light My Fire", a duet with José Feliciano (who had a hit with his own version of this rock classic in 1968). It's been said that the reason we don't hear José until the second half of the song, is because he had just happened to be at the studio when it was being recorded and popped in. If there was a track that would be described as her "goin' home" song, no doubt it was "Memory Lane" -- Minnie's reflection of her past while knowing what indeed was in the future. "Memory Lane" was a hit. Riperton incorporated the sadness of the ending of a relationship while suddenly shifting to cries of "I don't want to go" and "save me." It is thought that the song was her farewell to her family and the world. ======================================================== Late last night I dreamed my baby called But he wasn't on the phone I got up and tiptoed down the hall and tripped into the twilight zone Everyone there was gettin' down Dancin' and actin' crazy Everyone there was carryin' on Dancin' and actin' crazy Sparkelitas vamped arount the room flashin' out with champaigne eyes G. randini played those eighty-eights till ivory tears began to fly Everyone there was gettin' down Dancin' and actin' crazy Everyone there was carryin' on Dancin' and actin' crazy Oh what a party! The baddest jam I'd ever seen I started shakin' I had to scream I woke up and wondered where I'd been Just a dream I realized Went downstairs to put some water on And I could not believe my eyes Why why ! Everyone there was gettin' down Dancin' and actin' crazy Everyone there was carryin' on Dancin' and actin' crazy ========================================================
