RITA COOLIDGE | 74

Coolidge has risen swiftly up the success ladder, landing on Billboard charts and even sweeping two Grammy Awards into her coffers. The American recording artist has various popular songs, including We’re All Alone. Rita Coolidge is one of those artists who worked her way to where she is now. She was discovered by Delaney & Bonnie, who she then worked with in Los Angeles, until she became a background singer for superstars.

Rita has sung for the likes of Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and Graham Nash. She was also among the first hosts in the US VH1. Still very active at 74, Coolidge’s songs are frequently played on Spotify and Amazon. Retirement is obviously not on her agenda yet and we want to believe that she has other plans lined up. With her successful career, it would be easy for her to acquire a top-notch insurance plan and live free of bankruptcy.
