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, and she won two Grammy Awards with fellow musician and then-husband Kris Kristofferson. 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".

Rita Coolidge covered "You" and released it as the first single from her sixth album, 1978's 'Love Me Again'. Her version, in contrast to Hines', is more mellow in tone. Coolidge's version became a Top 40 hit in both the United States and Canada during the summer of 1978, debuting on the Hot 100 at No. 83 on 1 July 1978 and reaching No. 25 there on 26 August 1978 and No. 17 in Canada. "You" was a major success on the Adult Contemporary charts, reaching No. 3 in the U.S. and No. 1 in Canada. Coolidge's version did not chart in Australia, even though Hines' version had hit there.
