Richard "Dick" Rudolph is an American composer, guitarist, musician, songwriter, and producer. He was the husband of late soul singer icon Minnie Riperton, and he co-wrote many of her songs including her hits "Lovin' You" (1974) and "Memory Lane" (1979). He produced Teena Marie's second album, Lady T. He is the co-founder and co-owner (with Riperton's estate) of Dickiebird Music, and has worked as musical director for numerous films.
Rudolph is the son of Muriel and Sidney Rudolph, a philanthropist and at one time the owner of all the Wendy's and Rudy's restaurants in Dade County, Florida.[1] He and Riperton had two children, son Marc (who works as a music engineer with Rudolph) and daughter Maya, a film and television actress, who was a cast member on Saturday Night Live.[2]
