“Les Fleur” is the first track on Minnie Riperton’s debut album, Come to My Garden. The LP was a commercial failure, but a critical success with appreciation for the album growing with time. Today, it’s regarded by many R&B fans as an out-and-out masterpiece. Charles Stepney, who would later help Earth, Wind and Fire fine-tune their ambitious sound, produced and arranged the album. Come to My Garden itself is genre-defying, spanning soul, gospel, folk, psychedelica, choral music, jazz and more.
