Delta Lady

"Delta Lady" is a song written and composed by American rock singer and pianist Leon Russell. It was first recorded by British singer Joe Cocker for his 1969 album Joe Cocker! and also appeared on his 1970 concert album Mad Dogs & Englishmen. Cocker's single peaked at #10 on the UK singles chart and at #69 on the Billboard Hot 100. Russell went on to record his own version for his 1970 self-titled debut solo album and was released as a single the following year. Like "A Song for You" from the same album, Russell was inspired to write the song by vocalist Rita Coolidge. Coolidge named her autobiography after the song.
