Didn't know until recently that they had a B-side with "Superstar," the Carpenters song, or that Bramlett wrote it with Leon Russell (I probably thought Paul Williams did). It's called "Groupie" and not on any of their albums.

Note that Rita Coolidge was also a co-writer, and came up with the original idea which she brought to Bonnie, but was uncredited at the time (because of Delaney?) although Usher eventually credited her when he did a version as part of a Luther Vandross tribute. Don’t think it has anything to do with Jim Morrison. I recommend you read Rita Coolidge’s memoir, Delta Lady.
