Rita Coolidge
Grammy winner and legendary singer/songwriter Rita Coolidge will sing many of her classic hits and new songs, too, in a free concert at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian on the National Mall beginning at 5 p.m. August 10.
Some of her best known hits include "Your Love Has Lifted Me (Higher and Higher)," "One Fine Day," "Only You," "The Way You Do the Things You Do," and "Fever."
Ms. Coolidge, 68, a native of Lafayette, Tennessee, claims Scottish Cherokee ancestry. She is a founding member of Walela, a Native American music trio which includes her sister and her niece. In Cherokee, Walela means hummingbird.
Her performance is part of the museum's Indian Summer Showcase series.

changed.
