"Superstar" goes back to 1969, when Bonnie Bramlett and Leon Russell wrote it around an idea of Rita Coolidge's, drawn from watching how groupies and rock stars got tangled up with each other in the late '60s. It has passed through plenty of hands since, and Sonic Youth's reading in 1994 was an open tribute to the Carpenters, whose 1971 version is among the best known. The Sonic Youth take has joined that short list itself, alongside Luther Vandross's from 1983.
