BEFORE IT WAS A
HIT SONG…
These songs are well known but you may not know about the
earlier attempts to score a hit record with prior versions of the same song.
Superstar
"Superstar" was one of the lush ballads released by The Carpenters during the 1970s. The single was issued in 1971 and peaked at #2 in America. It topped the US Adult Contemporary Chart too. In Britain, the single reached #18. It also made the Top 10 in Japan, Canada and New Zealand.
Leon Russell wrote the song with Bonnie Bramlett. The latter recorded the original version with her husband Delaney Bramlett. Together, they released discs as the duo Delaney and Bonnie. "Superstar" was originally entitled "Groupie (Superstar)". The single's label credits Delaney and Bonnie & Friends featuring Eric Clapton. It was issued in 1969 as the flip side of "Comin' Home".
