Resumen del Editor

The two-time Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter bares her heart and soul in this intimate memoir, a story of music, stardom, love, family, heritage, and resilience.

She inspired songs - Leon Russell wrote "A Song for You" and "Delta Lady" for her; Stephen Stills wrote "Cherokee". She cowrote songs - "Superstar" and the piano coda to "Layla", uncredited. She sang backup for Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, and Stills before finding fame as a solo artist with such hits as "We're All Alone" and "(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher".

Following her story from Lafayette, Tennessee, to becoming one of the most sought-after rock vocalists in LA in the 1970s, Delta Lady chronicles Rita Coolidge's fascinating journey throughout the '60s-'70s pop/rock universe. A muse to some of the 20th century's most influential rock musicians, she broke hearts and broke up bands. Her relationship with drummer Jim Gordon took a violent turn during the legendary 1970 Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour; David Crosby maintained that her triangle with Stills and Graham Nash was the last straw for the group. Her volatile six-year marriage to Kris Kristofferson yielded two Grammys, a daughter, and one of the baby boom generation's epic love stories. Throughout it all, her strength, resilience, and inner and outer beauty - along with her strong sense of heritage and devotion to her family - helped her to not only survive but thrive.

Cowritten with best-selling author Michael Walker, Delta Lady is a rich, deeply personal memoir that offers a front-row seat to an iconic era and illuminates the life of an artist whose career has helped shape modern American culture.

Higher and Higher!

A little insight into her private life with Kris. Very interesting. Had no idea about her other relationships. Or how talented she is as a writer. Only remember her as a singer. And the more current photos of her as a blond!! Wow! She looks great!! What an icon for all of us senior citizens!!

Delta Lady is a wonderful book

I’ve always loved the song delta lady and decided to look up the inspiration for the song and came across Rita’s book. What a wonderful story! I laughed, learned and cried! I love that it is narrated by Rita herself and she paints the scenes so perfectly.

Love Rita

So happy Rita Coolidge has come out with her story. Perfect to listen to,with her voice reminding me of all the great music she was a part of. This is a must read for anyone who loved music in the 1960-70's. Thank you Rita.

Great Book

It was a marvelous collection of remeberences from a true American pop/rock icon. Rita chronicles her highs and lows poetically. A female trailblazer, she was ahead of her time and paid her dues in spades. Not afraid to tell her truth.

Lovely, sincere memoir, with rock n roll thrown in

I was a teen for some of this, listened to the music unfold, played (and enjoyed) Rita's hits on the radio and am so jealous of her view from the catbird seat, to the real inside of music history. Her account is so short!,...but, a great listening experience for me.

I've known Rita Coolidge for many years and this book is extremely honest! So honest that I've laughed out loud and been shocked as well! Rita is a gem of a person! My friendship with her is a privilege!!
