Rita Coolidge

The beautiful Rita Coolidge, of Cherokee Indian and Scottish descent began her singing career with her sisters at County Fairs. She pursued an Art degree at Florida State and sang radio jingles while in college to pay the bills.

She was introduced to and began performing with Leon Russell, whom wrote “Delta Lady” about her, as well as many other music legends. She met Kris Kristofferson in 1973. They married, toured and recorded (Full Moon, Breakaway, Natural Act) and graced the cover of Rolling Stone. She released several of her own albums with A&M Records where she became extremely popular for her ballads including “All Time High” for the James Bond movie, Octupussy in 1983.

We love her Native Bohemian style, long jet black hair and signature turquoise jewelry...nobody wears it like her! She is a top 5 style icon here at Spaghetti Western!
