The Carpenters have a tune by that name from 1971.
Also, Paul Davis has one from 1976.

There were three different songs titled Superstar in 1971:
- the schmaltzy ballad by the Carpenters
(don't you remember you told me you loved me baby)

- an upbeat soul song by the Temptations
(superstar, do you remember who your real friends are)

- the anthem from Jesus Christ Superstar by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd
Webber, the big hit sung by Murray Head and the Trinidad Singers
(Jesus Christ, Superstar, do you think you're what they say you are;
as fourteen-year-olds we sung
Jesus Christ, Superstar, who in the hell do you think you are)

"The President is very much a figurehead - he wields no real power whatsoever.
He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to
display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage.
For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, an infuriating
but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention
away from it."
- Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

The Carpenters' song was written by Leon Russell & Bonnie Bramlett. Can't
recall if Leon Russell ever recorded it, though.

Colleen Hewett (Australia) had a fantastic gutsy version.
