(Taken from the liner notes of the 2006 Deluxe Edition of the Eric Clapton album): Now using just the 'Superstar' title, she rendered it this time as a very slow, piano-based torch song. This version was also included as a bonus track on a 2006 reissue of the 1970 album Eric Clapton.īonnie Bramlett later rerecorded the song on her 2002 solo album I'm Still the Same. The original version finally surfaced on an album in 1972 when D&B Together was released, shortly before their marriage and collaboration ended. 'Comin' Home' reached number 84 on the US pop singles chart, although it achieved a peak of sixteen on the UK Singles Chart.

Released by Atco Records in the United States and Atlantic Records in the rest of the world, the full credit on the single was to Delaney & Bonnie and Friends featuring Eric Clapton. In its first recorded incarnation, the song was called ' Groupie (Superstar)', and was recorded and released as a B-side to the Delaney & Bonnie single 'Comin' Home' in December 1969.

Rita Coolidge came up with this song idea based on observing female groupies' relationships with rock stars of the late 1960s.

' Superstar' is a 1969 song written by Bonnie Bramlett and Leon Russell with a songwriting credit also given to Delaney Bramlett that has been a hit for many artists in different genres and interpretations in the years since the best-known versions are by the Carpenters in 1971, and by Luther Vandross in 1983.
