An older Rita, still beautiful, here voice is much better than the original with Joe Cocker. I'm surprised she still sings it; Leon Russell wrote it when they were together; as far as I know, they've had no contact in many years.
Anyway, I love Rita; I love her new group Walela, check them out. There's some great ones with her, Priscilla, etc. and Robbie Robertson.
Rita Coolidge es una preciosa reina cherokee, pero este tema no está entre sus mejores interpretaciones. Sólo Karen Carpenter pudo hacer de este tema mediocre algo inolvidable.
Still as gorgeous as when she sang with Mad Dogs and Englishmen. That deep vibrato voice is still so fine. I could never get tired of seeing her. Dark beauty with a unique voice. She had few peers in R&R at that time.

Excellent. I wonder if Bonnie Bramlett's own version is about anywhere? It's ABOUT Eric Clapton, BTW

Too bad we can't get Rita's Mad Dog's version on youTube.

Rita's version in Mad Dogs and Englishmen is still the best. Karen's interp is so monotonous.

Rita came up with the idea for this song in the first place.

I know her version was first, but with all due respect - She'll never be able to approach the way Karen did it

Good, but still not near as good as the Carpenters.
