Description
Delta Lady: A Memoir Rita Coolidge's life story is one of music, stardom, love, family, heritage, and resilience. As a singer and songwriter, she inspired some of the most influential rock musicians of the 20th century, including Leon Russell and Stephen Stills. Her experiences, from her early days in Lafayette, Tennessee, to her rise as a solo artist in 1970s Los Angeles, are chronicled in this intimate memoir. Coolidge's journey was marked by both creative triumphs and personal struggles. She sang backup for Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, and Stephen Stills, before finding fame as a solo artist with hits like "We're All Alone" and "(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher." Her relationships, including a volatile six-year marriage to Kris Kristofferson, also left their mark on her life. Co-written with best-selling author Michael Walker, Delta Lady offers a rich and deeply personal look at an iconic era in American music. This memoir provides a front-row seat to Coolidge's remarkable story, illuminating the life of an artist whose career has helped shape modern American culture.
