Rita Coolidge. Superstar

Superstar is a 1969 song written by Bonnie Bramlett and Leon Russell with a songwriting credit also given to Delaney Bramlett During the first half of 1970 Joe Cockers Mad Dogs and Englishmen Revue toured in the United States. Ex-Delaney and Bonnie vocalist Rita Coolidge was a backup singer on this tour and song co-writer Leon Russell was the bandleader. Some accounts have Coolidge suggesting or inspiring the songs creation in the first place and working with Bonnie Bramlett on her portion of the writing. In any case Coolidge was given a featured vocal on the song during the tour she took the verses with an air of resignation but the choruses with more anguish.,
