Delaney and Bonnie “Groupie (Superstar)”…The Original Song That The Carpenters’ Had a Hit With Later.
Art Decade Report:
Click here to go to AD to check Delaney & Bonnie’s “Groupie (Superstar)”….this is the original version of the Leon Russell tune. It was a big hit for the Carpenters in the 70’s. Not sure why the Carpenters chose to cut the “Groupie” out of the title…Haaaaaaaa!
Killer version…check the D&B cut. Not sure if Eric Clapton actually played on this cut? Anyone out there know for sure? Nice post by AD.
