A compilation of Rita Coolidge's best songs from her golden age, featuring her warm and deep singing voice.
This best-of album, released by A&M in 1980, includes her signature 70s hits such as "We're All Alone" and "(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher," and is a comprehensive summary of the appeal of pop rock centered around her soulful singing.
The soft strings and acoustic sounds naturally highlight Rita Coolidge's calm, husky vocals. Boz Scaggs' "We're All Alone" retains the beauty of the melody while adding her unique, inclusive vocal delivery, making it a song acclaimed as an AOR track. "(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher" is a cover of a soul classic, but its pop-oriented arrangement makes it a signature song that has become popular with a wide range of listeners. This best-of album, centered around these hits, succinctly demonstrates her presence in the 1970s music scene.
