But the most agonising time of her life happened less than two years ago, when her beloved older sister, Priscilla, also a singer, was murdered at her home by her husband Michael Seibert (66), who then turned the gun on himself. Coolidge remade "We're All Alone" for her 2005 jazz release And So Is Love: Elysa Gardner of USA Today opined that Coolidge "brings a new wistfulness and knowing to her own hit of yore...proving that good interpretive singers, like fine wine, improve with age."

Coolidge was married to Kris Kristofferson from 1973 to 1980. [1] Their daughter and her only child, Casey Kristofferson (also a musician), was born in 1974. Their marriage deteriorated after she miscarried her second child in 1977. In her memoir, Delta Lady, Coolidge described her marriage to Kristofferson as volatile due to his alcoholism and infidelity.

[10] However, in 2016 Coolidge told People that she and Kristofferson still shared a bond.

Jim took that piano melody from his ex-girlfriend, Rita Coolidge. I know because in the Delaney & Bonnie days, I lived in John Garfield's old house in the Hollywood Hills and there was a guest house with an upright piano in it. Rita and Jim were up there in the guest house and invited me to join in on writing this song with them called "Time". Her sister Priscilla wound up recording it with her husband, Booker T. Jones (of Booker T. & the M.G.'s). Jim took the melody from Rita's song and didn't give her credit for writing it. Her boyfriend ripped her off. [11] When you’re 20 years old everything’s about you,” Coolidge says. “And as I get older, I realize it’s not. It’s about him.” She glances at Hutto and laughs. Nyman, Jake (2005).

I would visit Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss, and it was a very open, communicative group of people. One day I was in Jerry Moss' office and he said that the Boz Scaggs album Silk Degrees was in a million homes and there was a song on it that was perfect for a woman to sing. He said, 'It's called "We're All Alone" and as he's not doing it as a single, I think you ought to record it.'"

Well, Damon didn't make the compressor/limiter, and my memory is that we all used to use that sound once we discovered what it did to piano notes. As to who got there first is open to debate. The sound was unique because it was a home-made device that was made by a guy called Denis King". [3] Release [ edit ] a b "Rita Coolidge Album Chart History: Top Country Albums". Billboard .

In October 2014, Coolidge's sister, Priscilla, was found dead in her home with her husband Michael Seibert, in what was determined a murder-suicide. (Seibert is considered to be the perpetrator.) They saw each other briefly when Coolidge and Kristofferson played the FSU Homecoming Pow Wow in 1977. “We were very close,” Hutto says. “Married to other people but best friends.” A lot of near misses followed. “We lost each other for decades,” Coolidge adds. Hutto passed up chances to see her concerts when tours brought her his way, wary, he says, of being a distraction, hungry for her attention. Coolidge was inducted into the Southern Museum of Music Hall of Fame in 2015. [5] Grammy Awards [ edit ] a b Oricon Album Chart Book: Complete Edition 1970-2005.
