Bonnie Raitt - GODESS OF THE SLIDE !!! She has no equal !!

[@BeLyndaSmith]

Dennis Quaid...what an amazingly hot man. I remember and interview Bonnie did for this video and she said that she and Dennis were friends which is why he is in the video. She also said how disconcerting it was to have him grinning and leering at her through the whole thing. Since it makes me blush to watch the major flirting going on, and it wasn't even directed at me...I can only imagine what it feels like to have the full power of a Dennis Quaid flirt turned on you.

[@AnnaLVajda]

That smile of his made me weak as a teenager. Val Kilmers too the way it just slowly grew into a full grin. So sly.

[@robertravena]

he was also married to Meg Ryan at the time.. but if Bonnie looked and flirted with me like she did at Dennis.. id put a ring on her.

[@maryscarbrough1797]

I LOVE THAT RASCAL ALSO

Bonnie Raitt Thing Called Love 💘 1989

Universal Music Group

[@user-dl7qq4hp4p]

Bonnies strong but sheepish grin and Quaids boyish moves, couldnt ask for more flirtiness Brings back fun times and romance.😮

[@tartfuel]

Because they're friends and at the time he was a huge movie star and wanted to give her album a boost - and it worked. People watched for him and fell in love with her music.

[@LujackLvr]

I believe that Bonnie was doing her "comeback" [if you like that, check out Bonnie's version of "Angel from Montgomery"] album & Dennis was portraying Jerry Lee Lewis in the film "Great Balls of Fire". Dennis' movie & Bonnie's "Nick of Time" LP/CD were both released in 1989. Both brilliant, in my CP-riddled, lazy-eyed, [right-side] hemiplegic, half-spastic, hydrocephalic opinion!

[@ShonCope]

I was backstage for Miss Raitt and James Taylor in Cincinnati. Miss Raitt was a total sweetheart and , unlike other artists, she came by and talked to myself and another guard. I didn't get to the concert that night, but I was there for the sound check and, wow, goosebumps. Thank you Miss Raitt. Many artists just walk on by. You didn't.

[@cindyblankfield1961]

Bonnie Raitt is a guitar goddess! I've been a fan 4ever, have loved every song, or should I say, experience Bonnie she lets the audience in on !! THANK YOU, MS RAITT 😊❤

[@AllieinCali]

I forgot how amazing this entire album is....I used to play the CD non stop. Good stuff.

[@rennyrybanski7519]

Drove Detroit to DC playing this CD

[@daniellecarr7665]

I had this as a tape cassette and wore it out!! I played it all the time. Amazing how the lyrics and melody come right back even after not hearing these songs for a while. She was one of my absolute favorites.

[@user-dl7qq4hp4p]

I've never forgotten, just in my many musical icon reserves. Loved her since 70s😊

[@sharoncole3774]

Me too!

[@jennifermarlow.]

@@sharoncole3774 Some days, I just do some cooking or whatever, and go from one old song to another, as I get reminded. So many great songs/artists from my younger days. :)

[@Tom-xe9iq]

A couple of friends caught Bonnie at a concert recently! They said she was fantastic!

[@wesleyshepherd8971]

she was and still fantastic. she plays the way she looks, beautiful.

[@debbiehenson1096]

Unbelievable that someone this talented did not get there big break until the age of 40.

[@patgaff2536]

Because she is female.

[@whitwaltman5137]

Happy 73rd, Bonnie! Still blowing the roof off everywhere she plays

Kim Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds singing harmony. Can't beat that.

After five years off (being dropped by Warner Brother Records), Bonnie returned to recording with Capitol Records with this. Her first big hit.

[@jamesplumlee]

Bonnie said in an interview that Dennis Quaid "was the cutest guy she could think of for the video" or something along those lines. This is one of the vids I keep coming back to over the years.

*Such* a good song! John Hiatt sure can write songs, and Bonnie is an amazing singer! And Dennis Quaid is just too good looking in this! I love the nod to Jerry Lee Lewis with the Sun Records t-shirt. He was playing Jerry Lee in "Great Balls of Fire" in the same timeframe as this.

Vibrato and Phrasing are just incredible. Nobody hangs a note out longer then gets there with that perfect vibrato and some extra strings ringing like Bonnie. Oh... And her voice is Golden. No woman or man like her in music. A true musician.

Wonderful voice. Miles of vocal range. With seemingly, no effort. A true talent.

This is a big bump. Hope it rolls, Lol. I'm so, looking forward to seeing Bonnie, at The Britt Venue, in Jacksonville, Oregon. In August, 2022. I'm still rocking it at 65. My new friend, after the death of both our spouses, is a willing and able partner in fun and games. Gabby and Morock, we do rock. Be there, kids, we're hard to miss at a venue of 3k or less. Lol.

Paraphrasing John Hiatt from a show a few years ago, while playing this song. I wrote a verse professing my undying love to my wife, but Bonnie opted for a brilliant slide guitar solo in its place, she won a grammy, so I guess she knew better. Fwiw, I love both

I do believe this was filmed in the shadow/timeframe of "Great Balls of Fire", hence Dennis' still-blonde hair, the Sun Records T-shirt and the 50's kinda shoes. He was at peak Dennis Quaid here. Every woman I knew back then, when watching/talking about this video, just got all...well, never mind. Let's keep YT family-friendly. I don't talk all dirty on here, even if it coming from/quoting others. 😁

Don't have to humble yourself to me I ain't your judge or your king Baby, you know I ain't no Queen of Sheba We may not even have our dignity This could be just a powerful thing Baby we can choose you know we ain't no amoeba Are you ready for the thing called love Don't come from me and you It comes from up above I ain't no porcupine Take off your kid gloves Are you ready for the thing called love I ain't some icon carved out of soap Sent here to clean up your reputation Baby, you know you ain't no Prince Charming We can live in fear or act out of hope For some kind of peaceful situation Baby, how come the cry of love is so alarming Are you ready for the thing called love Don't come from me and you It comes from up above I ain't no porcupine Take off your kid gloves Are you ready for the thing called love Ugly ducklings don't turn into swans And glide off down the lake Whether your sunglasses are off or on You only see the world you make Are you ready for the thing called love Don't come from me and you It comes from up above I ain't no porcupine Take off your kid gloves Are you ready for it Are you ready for the thing called love Don't come from me and you It comes from up above I ain't no porcupine Take off your kid gloves Are you ready for it Are you ready for love, baby Ooh yeah babe Are you ready for love
