Early life

Rudolph was born on July 27, 1972, in Gainesville, Florida, [2] to singer Minnie Riperton and composer Richard Rudolph. [3] [4] Her mother was African-American and her father is Jewish. Her paternal grandfather was Sidney Rudolph, a philanthropist who once owned all of the Wendy's and Rudy's restaurants in Miami-Dade County, Florida. [5] Her great-grandfather was born in Vilnius, Lithuania, changed his surname from "Rudashevsky" to "Rudolph", and was one of the founding members of Congregation Beth Shalom, a Conservative Jewish synagogue in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. [6] Rudolph's godmother was R&B singer Teena Marie. [7] On an episode of PBS's Finding Your Roots , Rudolph discovered that her maternal great-great-great-grandfather was James Grigsby, who was born a slave in Lincoln County, Kentucky. Grigsby was denied financial compensation and freedom granted by the last will and testament of his owner, John Warren Grigsby, and challenged the owner's grandson in court in the 1830s. [8] [9]

Rudolph's parents moved to Los Angeles, California, when their children were very young, and Rudolph grew up primarily in the Westwood neighborhood. [10] Near the end of the song "Lovin' You", Riperton repeats "Maya", as can be heard in her performance on The Midnight Special .
