Rita Coolidge

. Stapp will record a solo album, collaborating with popular Canadian group The Tea Party, while the other band members (including Brian Marshall) will form a new band, Alter Bridge, with Myles Kennedy. In 2004, Rita released a huge anthology of her complete career entitled, DELTA LADY The Rita Coolidge Anthology. On June 4, 2004, it was announced that Creed had broken up. Walela includes her sister Priscilla and Priscilla's daughter Laura Satterfield, following their participation in Robbie Robertson's Music for the Native Americans project The group released a self-titled album in 1997 and an album entitled Unbearable Love in 2000. "Don't Stop Dancing" was a minor hit for Creed in late 2002/early 2003. Rita is member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. However, Creed rebounded quickly, with one of the summer's biggest hits, "One Last Breath".

In 1997, Rita was one of the founding members of a Native American music focused trio, named Walela--the word for hummingbird in Cherokee. The song and video were possibly Creed's least successful since achieving mainstream success. Her marriage to Kristofferson ended in 1980. In early 2002, "Bullets" was released as a single, along with a costly, special effects-laden video. She scored her last hit in 1983, with All Time High from the James Bond film Octopussy. In the fall of 2001, "My Sacrifice," the first single off of Creed's latest album, Weathered was one of many inspirational songs to become huge in a post-9/11 America. Other hits were We're All Alone (originally recorded by Boz Scaggs), I Don't Want To Talk About It (Rod Stewart), The Way You Do The Things You Do (The Temptations), You (Marcia Hines) and I'd Rather Leave While I'm In Love (Carole Bayer Sager). Its follow-up, "With Arms Wide Open," was similarly massive on rock radio and arguably even bigger on pop radio that summer.

Her first hit, (Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher And Higher (originally recorded by Jackie Wilson), was also her highest seller, reaching number two on the US charts in 1977. It wasn't until early 2000 that the single crossed over onto pop radio, and Creed became a household name. She had several solo hit singles during the late 1970s with cover versions. Their second album, Human Clay was released in 1999 and debuted on the Billboard 200 Album Chart at number one, based on the strength of its first single, "Higher". With him she recorded several duet albums which sold well, and earned them a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1974 for From The Bottle To The Bottom, and in 1976 for Lover Please. Their 1997 debut album My Own Prison was successful, and the title track was a major hit at rock radio. It was during this time that she met Kris Kristofferson and they married in 1973.

She became known as "The Delta Lady" and inspired Leon Russell to write a song of the same name for her. A Christian band has an agenda to lead others to believe in their specific religious beliefs. Coolidge's early career was as a backing vocalist, for artists such as Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton and Leon Russell. Frontman Scott Stapp disagrees with the label: "No, we are not a Christian band. Rita Coolidge (born May 1, 1944 in Nashville, Tennessee) is a American singer. Many people consider Creed to be a Christian rock band, because their songs include many religious and spiritual implications. They broke up in June 2004.
