Whether it’s blues, ballad or country rock, Rita Coolidge sings it better than anybody else

It’s a mark of real maturity and self-assurance when a singer decides to do an album entirely made up of hit songs done previously by other artists. The comparisons are inevitably made. How can anyone hold up against “the oldies”?

Beautifully, if you’re Rita Coolidge. She’s proved that on Anytime…Anywhere. But then, Rita Coolidge has the confidence that comes from a lifetime of singing.

She started when she was two years old—that’s when her father, a Baptist minister, stood her up in the front row of the choir back in Nashville, Tennessee. You can still hear a taste of that rich gospel influence in some of Rita’s songs today.

She was working her way through graduate school by singing commercials when she cut her first single, “Turn Around and Love You;” it became an overnight hit in the South. Then it all started happening at once.

Almost at the same time, she flew to Los Angeles to join Delaney & Bonnie and Friends on their now-classic Elektra album, Accept No Substitutes. (The album was produced by David Anderle, who’s since produced all her albums on A&M.)

After that, Rita went on the road with Joe Cocker’s legendary Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour; later she did vocal work on albums by Dave Mason, Graham Nash, Eric Clapton, Stephen Stills and Booker T. Jones. In 1971, a number of these musicians showed their appreciation of Rita by performing on her first solo album, Rita Coolidge.

1971 was also the year she met Kris Kristofferson. It was in the L.A. airport; she was heading for Memphis, he was on his way to Nashville. He changed his tickets and she saved him a seat on her plane. They’ve been together ever since.

Rita Coolidge is a songwriter’s dream. Her clear voice, perfect pitch and instinctive emotional delivery make the most of the song she chooses to sing, whether it’s blues, ballad or country rock.

Rita Coolidge was born to sing.
