Rita Coolidge (born May 1, 1945) is an American recording artist. During the 1970s and 1980s, her songs were on Billboard magazine's pop, country, adult contemporary, and jazz charts, [1] and she won two Grammy Awards with fellow musician and then-husband Kris Kristofferson. [2] Her recordings include " (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher," " We're All Alone", " I'd Rather Leave While I'm in Love", and the theme song for the 1983 James Bond film Octopussy: " All Time High". When Rita met Joe for the first time, they sang together for hours at a beach house. It was Hutto’s first party as a college freshman, only a summer out of high school. He was too nerdy to bring a date, he says, so he had his guitar instead, a nice Martin that “cost twice as much as my pathetic automobile.” He began strumming it, and he soon had company. “This lovely young woman came and sat down next to me. We knew all the same songs. I heard this voice and thought, ‘These college girls are good, this is going to be fun.’” But when Hutto left, he did so without her name or phone number.

As was true elsewhere around the country in the early 1960s, the campus had a budding folk music scene, and Coolidge was an integral part of what there was of it, singing tunes by Joan Baez, Eric Andersen and others. “We spent every spare minute—if you’re not doing something else, you’re rehearsing, playing music, because it’s the most fun thing to do,” she says.

The media exposure made Hutto’s reputation and marked him as a singular figure in his field. As Buford wrote in his profile: “Effectively, Hutto turned himself into a turkey. He walked like one. He went up into a tree like one. He learned to hunt for bugs like one. Without instruments or recordings, he learned also to talk like one, modulating his vocal cords to match the complex, almost musical notes that now surrounded him. ‘A language of not just 13 basic sounds that some experts had identified but many subdivisions within those categories of sound, a vocabulary of at least 50 different kinds of verbal instruction.
