RITA COOLIDGE

Rita Coolidge is an award-winning recording artist in the ‘70s and ‘80s. She won two Grammy Awards with husband Kris Kristofferson to show what a talent she truly is. However, they finally split. In her memoir, “Lady Delta,” Coolidge described her marriage to Christopherson as turbulent due to her alcoholism and infidelity. She revealed that he was also emotionally abusive and would belittle her talent.

The singer’s songs made it on the Billboard Magazine’s pop, country, adult contemporary, and jazz charts. Some of her most famous songs are All-Time High, which became the OST for the 1983 James Bond film, Octopussy. Her singing career remains successful and contemporary. However, her relationship with Kris Kristofferson ended up in the hands of their lawyers and the courts after they opted for divorce in 1980. Her most recent album was released in 2018 with the title, Safe in the Arms of Time, and well, indeed!
