This would be the second book I've read where Leon Russell has written a song about her. I was listening to Rita Coolidge in the 70s and while she and coauthor Michael Walker don't delve into each and every album she's ever done, there is a wealth of experience, love and heartbreak they just draw you into . Her hand in the creation of 'Layla' is revealed for the first time as well as the mess that was the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour. She accomplished a lot in a couple hundred pages. Highly recommended
