Rita Coolidge : (3)

" When I sang that song, I felt it was almost as if some force had moved into my body. Things like that have only happened to me singing jazz. It doesn’t happen when singing pop. I get so deeply into the music, it feels like I’ve become someone else. " - Rita Coolidge

" I’ve always wanted to record a jazz record. I did one in the ’70s with Barbara Carroll. It’s been a journey. " - Rita Coolidge

" I was kind of known as a ballad singer. People would send ballads. Some of them would go over my shoulder and float off the top of my head, and I just didn’t feel anything. Then I would hear a song that would absolutely shake me. " - Rita Coolidge
