Superstar


Delaney and Bonnie's Never Ending Song of Love played a huge part in my youth. They were huge stars for a few minutes in the late 60s and early 70s. Bonnie Bramlett later showed up as Roseanne's cafeteria coworker in several episodes of Roseanne. It just came to my attention that she also wrote one of the best and most successful songs ever, Superstar, recently featured in Juno by Sonic Youth. Also hilariously featured in a scene in Tommy Boy with Chris Farley and David Spade. I hope it's made her very wealthy. She was the first caucasian to sing with Ike & Tina Turner as one of the Ikettes.
I always think of Star Wars, though, when I hear the first line.
