History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Minnie Riperton

Who in our generation can forget her song 'Lovin You', which topped the charts in April 1975? Minnie Riperton possessed a rare ability in her tremendous singing talent. She was able to sing in what is known as a five-octave vocal range, which became her trademark in many of her songs. Minnie passed away at the young age of 31 in 1979, having lost her battle with breast cancer.
