RITA COOLIDGE | 76

Cool is her name. Rita Coolidge can be described as one of the coolest recording artists, especially during the decades of the 1970s and 1980s. With credits to her passion and determination, she won two Grammy Awards for her work in the craft. Coolidge is the voice behind the theme song for the James Bond film, Octopussy. To start off her career, she worked as a background singer for huge artists like Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, and Eric Clapton. Coolidge worked her way to stardom and has released a total of 26 song albums.

In an interview, she mentioned that she is one of the artists whose materials were destroyed from the Universal Studios fire that happened in 2008. The tragedy never stopped her from creating more songs, and she released a Christmas edition album in 2012. In 2018, she released her probably last album, Safe in The Arms of Time.
