Title: Timeless songs
Review: After serving as an accomplished backing vocalist on many classic late 1960s albums, the graceful Rita Coolidge had a strong presence on the charts in the 1970s and early 1980s.Her firsts hit singles Higher And Higher and We're All Alone were covers of the Jackie Wilson and Boz Scaggs songs respectively, whilst The Way You Do The Things You Do was her interpretation of the classic Temptations song.All of her most popular songs are present here, including her soulful covers of the Bee Gees' Words and Leonard Cohen's Bird On A Wire and her 1983 James Bond theme hit All Time High.Her grainy voice and elegant style make her a unique vocalist although she sometimes falls into blandness on those middle of the road ballads. The best tracks are the subdued Fever, the romantic We're All Alone, the lovely Words and the poignant Bird On A Wire. Some of her great album tracks are not included here, like Whisky Whisky and My Crew, but this is still a superb compilation of her hits.
