Rita Coolidge's credentials are the stuff of legend. Rita released more than a dozen albums after she was signed to A&M in 1971, including 1978's multi-platinum "Anytime... Anywhere." Several of her singles would become classics; "We're All Alone," "Higher And Higher," and "The Way You Do The Things You Do" all qualify as career songs. She’s performed and recorded with high-profile pals like George Harrison, Roger Waters, Robbie Robertson, Jimmy Buffett, and her husband, Kris Kristofferson. During their eight-year union the pair teamed up for a number of hits and was twice named Country Duo of the Year. Rita's "All Time High" was the theme for the James Bond thriller "Octopussy" and "Heart Don't Fail Me Now" (with Lee Greenwood) was used as a recurring theme for the CBS daytime drama "As The World Turns." When the cable music channel VH1 debuted, she was also one of its original veejays. In the 90s, her place in popular music secured, Rita began devoting more time, energy and talent to other concerns. Her own Cherokee heritage inspired increasing involvement in projects that would benefit or call attention to Native American music, culture, and issues. Now, Rita Coolidge’s impact is undiminished—her voice as pure, sweet and powerful as ever and her ability to get inside a song honed by experience and overview. "I guess the fact that I'm still here means I must be doing something right," she laughs. "It's good to know that people who've liked what I do for all these years still like what I do, and at the same time it sounds good to people who weren't even born when I started out. And it's especially satisfying because I've made a record that's really true to the style of music I love. How can you ask for more than that?"
