Coolidge's early career was as a backing vocalist, for artists such as Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton, and Leon Russell. Her performance of "Superstar" on the Cocker/Russell Mad Dogs and Englishmen album helped gain her attention. She became known as "The Delta Lady" and inspired Leon Russell to write a song of the same name for her. It was during this time that she met Kris Kristofferson; the two married in 1973. With him, she recorded several duet albums which sold well, and earned them a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1974 for From the Bottle to the Bottom, and in 1976 for Lover Please.
In 1997, Coolidge was one of the founding members of Walela, a Native American music trio, that also includes Coolidge's sister Priscilla and Priscilla's daughter Laura Satterfield. The trio released albums in 1997 and 2000. Walela means hummingbird in Cherokee.
All Time High
Rita Coolidge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had no intention to do the things we've done
Funny how it always goes with love, when you don't look, you find
But then we're two of a kind, we move as one
We're an all time high
We'll change all that's gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love
We'll take on the world and win
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
I don't want to waste a waking moment; I don't want to sleep
I'm in so strong and so deep, and so are you
In my time I've said these words before, but now I realize
My heart was telling me lies, for you they're true
We're an all time high
We'll change all that's gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love
On an all time high
We'll take on the world and win
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
We're an all time high

I've come to a conclusion : if/when asked what my favourite 007 movie - with the late Sir Roger Moore - it's got to be the one here.
As for the theme song........2019 and beyond!.
@mikey_suzefour
I'd have to say A View To A Kill because it features my hometown San Francisco and Duran Duran...Enough said @Anthony Lewis.
@jonathanbethards3689
I know people have differing opinions, but I really don’t see how THIS would be your fave Moore as Bond movie. Was it your first as a kid, or one you saw a lot when you were younger? I know nostalgia can twist our memories. I think Moonraker, The Spy Who Loved Me, and even Live and Let Die are miles better than Octopussy. To each their own I guess.
@mikey_suzefour
That's your opinion...So be it @David Topchiev
@808Hakaida
"For Your Eyes Only"!
@phila3884
Hope it's better than Skyfall!
@cheesecakepie1
