Rita Coolidge

Rita Coolidge is an amazingly beautiful singer, songwriter and musician.

She has enjoyed romantic relationships with musicians such as Leon Russell, drummer Jim Gordon, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills and kris Kristofferson.

It’s easy to forget that two-thirds of “Layla” consists of an extended outro, written by Dominos drummer Jim Gordon — although it’s alleged that he lifted the tune from a song written by his ex-girlfriend Rita Coolidge, which she later released as “Time” in 1973.
