[@lazyday4298]

A multi-talented woman, physically beautiful, and a beautiful singer. You must hear her rendition of "Bird on a Wire".

[@debbeborders5762]

I thoroughly enjoyed both parts 1 and 2 of this interview. Rita Coolidge has led an interesting life, is a good human like her father taught her and her siblings. She is very authentic and beautiful.

[@ronaldom5429]

Rita’s voice always stood out whilst singing in the chorus Of Mad dogs n Englishmen with Joe Cocker...she had a beautiful voice then and no doubt still has. Love Rita 😘

[@tims4768]

If the doctor says I have 15 minutes to live, I would like to hear Rita talk.... about anything... smooth and gentle.... nice way to go out..... Great lady. Great American. Great human.

[@thebanffcentre]

So sorry for your loss Regina.

[@richardhutchings921]

I had the distinct pleasure of seeing her in Kwang Ju, Korea, 1986. She was there for a show. We all had a wonderful time after the show. She is a beautiful lady.

[@joannthomases9304]

[@31Alden]

What a lovely woman!

[@BicheBug1996]

Rita has aged well still a very attractive lady that hair though hummmmmm funny how she talks about kristofferson he hardly ever acknowledges his marriage and life with her listenning to her life with him and his disrespecting her so hugely i admire the young rita coolidge who decided enough is enough

[@HeiwaPaz2000]

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.[11] She revealed he was also emotionally abusive and would belittle her talent.[11] When they divorced she did not ask him for anything.[11] However, in 2016 Coolidge told People that she and Kristofferson still shared a bond.[19]

[@katherinebond7315]

Rita, I only listen to the songs recorded by you and Kris. Located the. albums on Etsy. You were so beautiful together. My heart hurts for the pain you experienced. Perhaps because I identified. I grew up in TN. Lived in Santa Barbara since 1999.

[@ELI-qm6bx]

I AM CHOCTAW AND I OWN " 20 FEET FROM STARDOM" DVD. RITA IS SUCH A TREASURE IN MY HEART. ❤️

[@jamiewalker6866]

rita l like your hair in a natural brown shade to your skin color

[@tigerhawkz4402]

Delaney\Bonnie n Friends on Tour is one of the two best live albums ever recorded. Mad Dogs and Englishman is the other.

[@aave865]

There is something very goddess about her eyes.

[@dudekfox7685]

Not just her eyes but her beautiful teeth. What a smile.

[@dougrogillio2223]

Rita was the Stevie Nicks of her era.

[@rosaliecaliendo6415]

Saw Rits at Fillmore Rast and her version of Supetstar will be my favorite.

[@catdaddy3302]

So she was from Memphis. I was from around Memphis, grew up there in the 60s. Never knew she was. Probably heard her sing “WHBQ.”

[@ronaldom5429]

Good intervieuw !

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

these know-nothing yuppie interviewers on these things are so annoying. if it wasn't for the summer intern who does the research and writes the cue cards, these generic "interviewers" would be completely lost

[@canaldogibão]

She , karen Carpenter; mary Mcgregor and Judith Durhaim in 1960s they had the most beautiful famele voices.

[@patharrison4546]

You got that right

[@carlostoro-ev7mj]

Rita from Chili american beuty great song

[@jimkinsey4924]

A beautiful class woman

[@jamalmcgrath810]

Rita , i have loved your music from way,way back in early 70's . But, why the term ,Delta Lady ? I am thinking it was your connection with Leon Russell,right ? Because of Leon's tune, Delta Lady ,right ? I saw him in Tulsa in 1970,with his first albums came out. He did make an album ,i think, with Bolen or something.

Who cares? He has a brilliant interviewing manner and matches Rita's engaging style to a tee.

[@carolynweber8339]

Always a mean person. Always. Nadia, stop and learn love

[@ThomasDeLello]

Is she any relation to Calvin Coolidge...?

[@БайТошо-щ6ц]

Yep, 1983 the Bond movie Octopussy.

[@hairychest7865]

I feel she needs a better interviewer.

[@BoomerPod13]

Great Interview but Dominic show some respect - see wardrobe and clean up your act.

[@susanralph274]

[@davidryan3079]

This presenter has a horrible voice.
