In 2016, the singer and actor RITA COOLIDGE was interviewed by director JOHN EDGINTON about the phenomenal JOE COCKER and his 1970 musical journey across America - the infamous MAD DOGS AND ENGLISHMEN TOUR. The brilliant musician LEON RUSSELL was the band leader. Russell had written the song "Delta Lady" about Rita, his then girlfriend. It became a Joe Cocker standard.
The interview was conducted at the Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles - formerly the recording studios of A&M Records, who funded the 1970 tour .
