Rita Coolidge...

[cam83]

Hi All,
I wonder if Karen and Rita knew each other. I have recently begun listening to Rita and am totally blown away at what a beautiful voice she has. I feel it is a cross between Anne Murray, Dusty Springfield and Karen Carpenter in some way. The songs Rita sings, I can imagine Karen singing them. She just has a quality to her voice, that extra feeling, warmth, that Karen had. I am now a new fan of Rita Coolidge. She is the one who also sang SUPERSTAR on Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen album.

My thoughts,
Cameron

Rita was a big favorite of mine in the 70's. I have several of her albums. My favorite was 1978's "Love Me Again".

I have quite a few of her albums too. I still like most of her music, but I can't listen to We're All Alone anymore. I played too much when it was a hit.

Higher and Higher was another strong hit by Rita.
What a great singer she is!!
And don't forget the movie themes for Splash (Love Came For Me) and OctoXXXXX, a James Bond's movie,(All Time High).

Excuse me!

OctoXXXXX!!!.
Please, Rick, correct this!

[Federico Cruz]

If I write the correct name of the movie, appears OctoGIRL THINGY instead!!!

There you go Federico, I have fixed this for you.
The movie you are referring to is OctoXXXXX the James Bond film that Rita Coolidge sang the theme song "all Time High".
