[@TheDivayenta]

She’s also a world class blues and slide guitarist. This is Bonnie’s song, yes.

[@donnakawana]

She speaks to my soul!! ✌🏻💗😊❣️

[@judedornisch4946]

And she plays with everybody. The Keb Mo No getting over you is straight up fun.

[@DavidTateVA]

IIRC she's one of the short list to make Rolling Stone's all-time Top 100 lists as both vocalist and guitarist...

[@terrierublno8931]

Yep!

[@ChrisKrolak]

She didn't write the song, however. I remember hearing this song first in the early 90s.

[@MsFredWeasley]

She is the OG artist, she did the original vocals in one take. The emotion in that recording still breaks my heart.

[@823112coffeebean]

She said she couldn’t do another take, she didn’t have the emotional energy. I can’t sing it, I cry every time

[@cindythomas4246]

My favorite Bonnie Raitt song and I have truly experienced her lyrics and the somberness of her voice. Been there done that and Bonnie must have also sometime in her life.

[@ty9884]

The production on the original album is legendary.

[@starsongmaiden7172]

YES 🙌🏽. True that! I couldn’t get enough of the raw heart in this song and the gorgeous quality of her voice, even as a kid when I first heard this ❤

[@RedSinter]

You might give her Angel from Montgomery a listen.

[@ashleysovilla2037]

Yes! Or just the original John Prine. But I really love them singing it together.

[@awkwamerrygoround]

Yessss

[@deemcm9006]

You took the words right out of my mouth! I love John Prine, but Bonnie's cover of this song is my fave!

[@robertasirgutz8800]

Because EVERYONE HAS COVERED IT. But, it will always be Bonnie's song. She's the original. Such a clear, plaintive voice. Badass slide guitar player.

[@bplebanek]

THE GOAT Slide guitar player.

[@allysonlambson3165]

Yes, this is a great song, but doesn't begin to show what this lady can do!

[@adderman1950]

I almost choked on my water when you asked if there was any more music of hers you could listen to. You have no idea how deep the rabbit hole of Bonnie Raitt is. She has been performing for over 50 years and just won a Grammy for song of the year for 2023! Besides having a marvelous voice she is probably the best blues slide guitar player alive today. She is an absolute American Treasure! You could literally spend years listening to her music! Incidentaskly she is the real deal, no autone or pitch correction nonsense!

[@roymoore3156]

Bonnie Raitt is one of the most emotion provoking artists I can ever remember hearing. She’s the queen of what she does, and man can she play slide guitar!!!

[@marciaramirez3791]

Bonnie is a super star blues singer, slide guitar player, has played and sung with legends like BB King, John lee hooker. Absolutely thrilled with your reaction. "Let's Give 'Em Something To Talk About" is great, a sample of her guitar expertise in "A Thing Called Love". Thank You so much for this Bonnie Raitt treat! Looking forward to your reactions to more of her songs.

[@leanneporter2661]

💯

[@carolyntrousdale2800]

She is a Country Legend with Emmy Lou Harris, Reba McIntyre. Sang backup for Roy Orbison. This is actually my favorite of hers.

[@melissasaint3283]

Ive been singing her "in the mood" with John Lee Hooker in the shower since I was 13!

[@amandaski]

Bonnie Raitt IS meant to do this exact thing. She's so talented on guitar and her voice is perfectly suited for blues. Please more Bonnie! I specifically want more of this specific content. 😂

[@kyleb5169]

You nailed MrLboyd very well lol

[@rockalittl]

A Bonnie classic. I've heard her sing this 100 different ways and she never fails. She is amazing. There's a reason Teddy covered her. One of the best female voices there is. Bonnie is legendary.

[@katthomas4001]

Yes. She can sing it 100 different ways because she is singing her story not just some lyrics.

[@richpaige32]

This is how to not oversing a song. Simple , emotional voice.

[@Starbuck-dr7yl]

Love this song, she isn’t the writer, but the original artist. Yes. What a voice.

[@musicairplanes4884]

Been in love with her for 40 years. Her father is John Rait a famous Broadway Musical star.

[@patrician7445]

Great voice! Always loved hearing him!

[@gretabrunswick5566]

Yes, John Raitt was such a beautiful singer in the films. The apple doesn’t fall far… kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZzaiXedrNyjqac

[@suzannegaglie6146]

Ditto. She’s one of my top two faves. She is amazing in concert.

[@nobodythatyouknow241]

Me too. My Sister and her boyfriend introduced me to Bonnie Raitt more than 40 years ago. She is awesome.

[@barbarasaracini1271]

I love this song, but it always makes me cry. Another one of her songs that I love is "Feels Like Home to Me".

[@donnakawana]

Love them both

[@filmsensei]

Just FYI I was looking to download her Feels Like Home and stumbled upon a cover of it by the jazz singer Diana Krall and Bryan Adams. It’s very pretty! I remember they played her version in the movie “Michael” with John Travolta.

[@erniebee330]

My same feelings !

[@bengilbert7655]

She also won a Grammy for her duet with 70 year old blues singer John Lee Hooker I'm In the Mood.

[@sparkybish]

I love her voice so much. Something to Talk About was my favorite.

[@JuiciferPandoraRex]

me too! i put that on a mixtape (along with songs from meatloaf, the dazz band, and some others i cant recall) that i made for a boy when i was 9 or 10yrs old (circa 1992). lol i was a bit of a different kid.

[@danaagenbroad]

She rocks with "Something to Talk About"! You will be dancing in your seat!

[@ericwhanger5111]

She has the most perfect texture in her voice. Should check out her cover of "angel from Montgomery" or a newer one called "Gypsy in me". I'm 33 and to this day she is my celebrity crush.

[@plushrush]

She’s a siren, impeccable voice and deep, deep soulful lyrics. I’ve listened to her for 35+ years. She’s rooted in the blues, sang with Sippy Wallace and others. She’s the Dolly Pardon of soul. (This is not her original version, that was sang in the 90’s) I have her on vinyl!

[@bemused9522]

She does an amazing cover of "Can't find my way home". However, yes, this is her song. A fun one of hers "Let's give them something to talk about"

[@drewby613]

I think your comparison to the Swims version was very apt. I would say that Teddy Swims version was like a cry of pain, but her version is just deeply, deeply sad--heartbroken, beyond crying, to the point of sheer emotional exhaustion. Hearing it almost brought tears to my eyes, and I knew this song decades ago when it first came out. The smoothness, the richness of her voice, the long tones, amazing breath control, almost seem to create a calm background against which her despair crashes quietly, but powerfully. This album came out right during the break-up of my first marriage, and it was on all the time. Nick of Time is the name of the album, and there isn't a bad cut on it.

[@bobbistevens5648]

She has so many great songs, Something to talk about, Have a Heart. Many more. Also she gets her talent honestly. Her father was a well-known musical theater singer and actor. I know you will fall in love with her if you listen to more of her work like the rest of us.

[@contagieux]

Bonnie Raitt is on constant rotation on my playlists. Her voice is bewitching, unique and mesmerizing. I hope you'll listen to her "Nick of Time" album. Its a masterpiece.

[@dorothyfischer2649]

A absolutely fine mix of styles! There's no one like Bonnie. ❤

[@rebeccaplum1023]

What amazes me is that a music lover, one who is supposedly in a position of authority to "comment" on musicians, has never heard of Bonnie Raitt or listened to her music. She is one class act and a favorite of mine for many decades.

[@kelvinsmith4381]

Thanks for reacting to Bonnie Raitt. Angel of Montgomery, Love Me Like a Man, I Feel The Same, Feels Like Home to me, Something to talk about...so many choices

[@suzannegaglie6146]

Oh yeah, I also suggest that you listen to Love Me Like a Man

[@Thomas-aka-TomD]

"Take My Love With You", "Thing Called Love", "Used To Rule The World" "Something To Talk About", "Love Letter", "Papa Come Quick", "Used To Rule The World"....just to name a few of the great Bonnie Raiit's songs. Thank you sir.....

[@UncleRandy73]

“Angel from Montgomery” is my favorite.

[@Fuphyter]

I've been a fan of Bonnie Raitt's since the 70s. She has a huge catalog of great songs. She finally was awarded Grammy awards for her album Nick Of Time and this song. Yes, she is the original artist.

[@buddyhendershot]

"I Can't Make You Love Me" is a song written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin and recorded by American singer Bonnie Raitt for her eleventh studio album. She is the original artist and she is AMAZING as a singer and guitarist. Here name is pronounced "Rate"

[@rickr7333]

Her version of John Prine's Angel from Montgomery is one of, if not the epitome of Bonnie's classic (late 70s early 80s) period. This one being the same for the early '90s period. For a more upbeat song, "Let's Give Them Something to Talk About" also from the same album and also good.

[@pattyzambrano1691]

Haven’t seen this live performance. True singers can give you a goosebump performance with their voice. She is a true singer and talented musician.

[@Rhonda_girl_11]

Bonnie Raitt is my favorite female artist of all time. Her voice carries the feelings of any song she sings. Nick of Time and Not the Only One are my 2 faves after this one. I had just ended a relationship with a man I hoped to marry but we weren't good for each other and this song was released the same month...very fitting. I think you'll love most of her music.

[@talltulip]

The original studio version features a gorgeous piano accompaniment by Bruce Hornsby (who, if you're not yet familiar with him and his group, Bruce Hornsby and The Range, you should check them out). Hornsby is one of those musicians who has a very identifiable style and sound, and his contribution to the original record was significant, adding to the general feeling of heartbreak and resignation in the song. Of course, Bonnie's amazing vocal is the key factor, but Hornsby's playing deepens the effect.

[@marylhere]

Bruce Hornsby …that’s who it was in the silky 80s pants….saw him as the final show at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh. Couldn’t think of his name….thank you.

[@martincoleman2581]

This is one of the most beautiful songs that I've ever heard. Not only because of the melody and way she sings it but because of the meaning behind it. There are not many pains in life that can compare to the pain of being in love with someone that does not love you. As the song implies, there is nothing , nothing, nothing that you can do about it...and it really hurts when you actually realize it.

[@timsmith1426]

There's just so much emotion behind her voice. Another by her I love is "Something to Talk About". Thanks for the reaction! :)

[@katthomas4001]

I have been in love with this song, Bonnie Raitts version, for decades. She is not singing ABOUT this, she is singing the story, and singing her story to you. The most haunting heartbreak creeps from her soul.

[@TheKatherine1958]

Hi- tho she didn’t write this song, I’m certain Ms. Raitt was the first to record it. This woman plays a mean guitar too. I hope you listen to some more music by her.

[@wtk6069]

Mike Reid, a country singer-songwriter wrote the song with Allen Shamblin, but he didn't record it himself into after Raitt's version.

[@suzannegaglie6146]

It’s so interesting to me that this was written by two men. I would have sworn that a woman wrote it

[@jennyhagemann5159]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written, they both did beautifully

[@maggieking6619]

Bonnie has been doing this for nearly 50 years. Folk, blues, rock, she made a "comeback' with this release. BUT those of us who have listened to her for so long never saw her leave. A fine woman who helped women of my generation be strong and bold.

[@suzannegaglie6146]

Well said

[@GorillasAndGardens]

You need to do a reaction with her playing the guitar like “Thing Called Love” written by John Haitt (someone else you should react to). She’s amazing!!!

[@blondbowler8776]

John Hiatt. This song tastes like his writing, but I guess that's 'cuz he was in her band and wrote many of her tunes, going way back. John Hiatt...the best kept secret in rock and roll, rhythm and blues. Her slide guitar is hypnotizing.

[@rk41gator]

Raitt has received 10 Grammy Awards. She since 1971 she has sung with icons. Pretty much anything she touches is golden. "Nick of Time" album got to #1 in the US in 1990. She is a 'quiet' activist in everything from clean energy and anti-apartheid to Farm Aid and Amnesty International.

[@tinaembree4960]

I will never not tear up when I hear this song & although this live version is really good.. the way you hear it like you would on a radio station is the best.. I will always remember getting to see her live in concert back when I was 19.. it was the most incredible experience & I had backstage passes,so I got to meet her in person & I had to seriously chuckle because I never realized how short or small she really was until I met her face to face.. I love pretty much all of her music.. Have a Heart & Thing Called Love & Something to Talk About are some of my favorites.. Her voice is slightly raspy & yet so soothing to the senses. She’s just amazing.

[@rrrusty49]

Same. I didn't get to meet her but saw her live at The Warfield in SF in the early '80's. She's lived quite a life and it's all there in her voice. That slide guitar, too. Oomph.

[@alfredneuman1916]

"I Can't Make You Love Me" is a song written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin and recorded by American singer Bonnie Raitt for her eleventh studio album, Luck of the Draw (1991). " Wikipedia. .... Nice reaction. AM enjoying your exploration of different genres. As a follow to this one may I recommend Bonnie Raitt/Norah Jones cover of "Tennessee Waltz." 3 classics at once.

[@susanpeterson9947]

Thanks for me mentioning this one. I love both Bonnie and Norah but haven’t heard them sing together. I’m off to find it right now!

[@wtk6069]

Mike Reid is an interesting guy. He was a recently retired pro football player when he wrote this song, having played for the Cincinnati Bengals. He became a successful Nashville songwriter selling his work mostly to country artists, but occasionally to crossover artists like this. He also tried his hand at singing himself. He recorded his own version of "I Can't Make You Love Me" after Raitt. His version has a very different tone and is interesting for comparison's sake, but the song inherently seems to work better from a female perspective.

[@catherinenelson4162]

Oh, yeah! The Bonnie, Norah Tennessee Waltz! It's so well done!

[@rbodee]

"Let's Give Them Something To Talk About" is a great song of hers.

[@ddore1962]

Beautiful song. Beautiful voice.

[@barblibrarian]

This is the traditional singer/songwriter. She doesn’t sing covers, only her own songs, although this wasn’t written by her, it is written for her. To me this is an amazing woman’s song. Many of us have had similar situations. “I’ll feel the power, but you won’t”. Her writing, her voice and her guitar playing are top level.

[@RockyTheWonderGeek]

Actually, she does do covers. She's done many a Jackson Browne song. But they're great friends and she does them so well.

[@maritlebliss]

@@RockyTheWonderGeek and this isn't her song

[@donnabruhn6907]

I absolutely adore this woman. Such incredible talent she owns this song and everyone she sings Plus fabulous blues and slide guitarist. They don't come anymore talented

[@starrycrown]

Bonnie wrote a song for every one of my heartbreaks. After a good cry, I could go on. Thanks, Bonnie.❤️‍🔥🙏

[@davidkyle5017]

Anything other than Bonnies version is a cover, she sang it first. I love Teddy's version too, incredible.

[@adrianblackberry9327]

Oh mate, I have been walking through life for the last 30 years with this beautiful woman. I heard this when I was 20, and those few minutes taught me that you cannot struggle with your lovers when that love is not reciprocated. Cheers Tassie Joy

[@otiscourtney8625]

Anything Bonnie Raitt sings will touch you like no other. She just has IT!!!

[@tnhand1022]

Do yourself a favor & listen to the studio version of this song. It's been making me cry every time I hear it for 30 years. Bonnie sings just like she plays guitar - sliding beautifully from one note to the next.

[@sharonpate5481]

Finally someone is reacting to Bonnie Raitt! She has been on the music scene for decades. My favorite song is “Mighty Tight Woman” give it a listen 😊😎 “Love Me Like a Man” “Finest Lovin Man” “Women Be Wise” “Give It Up Or Let Me Go” “Love Has No Pride” “Guilty” “Angel From Montgomery” “About To Make Me Leave Home” “No Gettin Over You” with Keb Mo “I’m In The Mood” with John Lee Hooker Just for a start! People used to come to my house in the 80’s and always wanted to know what music I was playing. I introduced a lot of friends to Bonnie ☮️😎

[@diannashort8072]

Bonnie Raitt is my favorite blues singer I have ever heard and a fabulous concert performer.

[@patriciafrancisco6648]

Mr l Boyd you're a good looking young man, with a very expressive face, I love that you can tell when you are really pleased by something as far as the voice and the words they affect you, I think you are empathetic and that's what makes you so very good at this particular job because you can feel it and voice that feeling through the expressions of your face, on top of being cool calm and collected, you're very educated and dedicated and, have some of the sharpest ears, and highly educated to know what your job is and do it very well!!!!. Just saying!!!

[@sandrasofiahsexton3917]

one of her best

[@pattyneff4624]

Yes Sir, This is her song. Her voice is so so rich, smooth, velvety. She plays guitar with a beautiful power.

[@megegert861]

She is a beautiful singer and artist. I’ve followed her for years. Her father is also pretty great.

[@irishfergal]

You just stumbled across the greatest woman blues guitarist in history. Bonnie knows how to break hearts. That's what makes a real artist. Bonnie wrote the song and she released it in the mid-1990s. Great reaction ! And you appreciate her amazing voice.

[@optimystic1282]

This was actually written by Allen Shamblin and Mike Reid, in my opinion nobody does it better than Bonnie. I cry every time I hear it.

[@cgembee1066]

This song is so great, that even Teddy Swims was in tears after covering this song. It is truly a heartfelt story that all of us can relate to. At least I know that I can! Thank you Bonnie...

[@jinlowe1953]

This is what you call a performance, not a show. We are here for the talent, not the antics. Not many artists around like this anymore.

[@cherylhowe1541]

One of my all time favorites! When people were carrying on about Teddy Swims' version, I told them they really needed to listen to this - the original, the best!

[@vanessamcfadden8335]

I totally agree

[@Ann-kw1pn]

Bonnie Raitt is a truly great lady with a heartfelt and beautiful voice. She also walked the walk and is co-founder of the Blues Foundation, which has helped many artists get their deserved royalties and helped many other artists in tangible ways when no one else cared about their cause. She is the real deal. My highest respect for her.

[@jamessorby7688]

One of my favorite blues singers/players, although she does more than strictly blues. Please play more of her.

[@Wordsmyth8]

Bonnie has the most pure, clear, beautiful voice. I read somewhere that in recording one of her albums, her vocals on the songs were recorded in one take. She has perfect pitch. Plus she can play slide guitar like nobody’s business. Put simply, the lady is a gigantic talent.

[@membel]

One of the best female artist of all time! Feels like home to me is another one of hers that is one of my favorites along with many, many others. I have a long list of female artist I love of all genres and she is near the top!

[@lolak2895]

I LOVE this woman singing. I listen to her often.

[@gingerstratman3153]

Sir I’m constantly blown away by how many outstanding artists you haven’t been exposed to. I’m very curious about the artists you DID listen to?

[@aerynoftalyn1307]

Magnificent, warm, expressive voice. Bonnie Raitt is serious quality. Listen to Dimming of the Day. Live versions will be great.

[@rylynn873]

Love Bonnie Raitt. Have for decades. Glad you finally found her.

[@letstalk1050]

I've been a fan of Bonnie's for years but I've never heard her live version of this song and it's sooo much better than the recording

[@lyndamccormick3783]

She writes her own music, I love Bonnie and she has so much you can listen to, check out albums like , "NicK of Time", "Luck Of The Draw" & Longing in Their Hearts" three of my favourites. She's Famous Broadway Musical Star John Raitt's daughter.

[@dubstormgaming]

Bro that's a Live performance for her, but her version from the CD is amazing. As far as I know she is the Original Artist of this song.

[@georgetteroenfeldt8144]

I was in a relationship that made me feel just like this song...i would cry everytime i listened and sang along with her...when it ended it was my life story in a song..how she sings with so much hart and sole without crying speaks to how great and wonderfull a artist she is...my top most fav. singer of all time. Forever Bonni

[@barbaralee7385]

This is and always has been an amazing song. Bonnie’s vocals add depth and emotion to feelings we all have had at one time or another. Its a beautiful song. George Michael did a pretty good version of this song as well.

[@marlenemcmillan8891]

So.many wonderful singers..we can't know them all...She one of them .

[@heidithatswho.2481]

Another album I own. She is fantastic. I remember on your teddy reaction, asking you to please check out the original artist. Now you see why.

[@dianafoder3123]

She is the daughter of John Raitt a Broadway singer/actor, I remember him in the original play Oklahoma. She started singing with the old black blues singers when she was a young teenager. I love her voice and music. I saw her perform this in concert with thousands of fans, you could have heard a pin drop because everyone was focused on her performance. I see her everytime she comes to town.

[@markzegarac8574]

I see how much you enjoyed this one.. If only for yourself there's an even better version with the beautiful piano playing of Bruce Hornsby to go along with Bonnie's exceptional voice!! It's a live version as well..

[@suzannegaglie6146]

Yes, goosebumps from that version

[@georgesheffield1580]

50 years of music by Bonnie

[@Aurora-cv5to]

She's amazing. I remember when "Luck of the Draw" was released........ this one was of several spectacular songs on that album. But maybe my favorite Bonnie Raitt song of all is "Something to talk about." Beautiful song and video on too many levels to name. Makes me cry every time - and not from sadness. Give it a look/listen - for yourself, if you don't have time to do it here.

[@nancyinboise9643]

Yes she was the first original singer yes yes yes! I have followed her since early in her career and she's a brilliant artist. No auto-tune, no waving her hands around, she can just stand there and sing like that

[@mikelogan5629]

Try “Nick of Time” by Bonnie. Yes, this is her song. Who among us hasn’t given “up this fight” ?

[@christinedreams8099]

So many of my faves already mentioned. I too loved a lot of her duets. She did a duet years ago with an older blues singer, can’t recall name…Mitzi?…of “Woman be wise…don’t advertise your man” that I loved as well. Bonnie has a way of sliding in and out of notes deftly, has a crackle and texture and sweet vibrato. She opens her heart in her singing so I guess that becomes the final key for me. She is also humble and has faced and overcome some serious demons in her life. Ty for this vid.

[@suzannegaglie6146]

I think the older woman was named Mavis Staples

And that song is fantastic. I love belting it out really loud with them. Check it out… Don’t Advertise Your Man

Bonnie who has a long and distinguished career as a musician and singer followed in her Father's (John Raitt) footsteps whose career was that of a singer in musical theater. I saw Bonnie perform at the Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival in 1970 or 71, anyways, when we were both quite young.

[@stgermain1074]

Bonnie's version is just quietly heartbreaking. And Raitt is pronounced Rate.

[@barronwilliams7352]

She's a great blues guitarist with a lot of the old black blues legends. She knows what she's doing.

[@sherrydick8330]

I have listened to this song since it came out, by Bonnie. Still makes me cry, 30 years later

[@brianorzel1873]

She is amazing. "Thing Called Love", "Something To Talk About" and "Love Sneakin' Up On You" are more upbeat and fun! "Love Has No Pride" is gorgeous and heart felt. If you pick any random song of hers, you'll appreciate her song writing, guitar playing and beautiful voice.

[@MelBunting68]

My favorites are I Can't Make You Love Me and Let's Give Them Something To Talk About. Such a beautiful voice.

[@robinwininger7311]

Bonnie Raitt is wonderful singing this song. But...George Michael did a version that takes my breath away. You should try that one as well. Thanks for your insightful reactions.

[@cati62]

I totally agree, I just wanted to say the same thing.

[@janee9533]

How can you have not heard Bonnie Raitt she's incredible on the slide guitar. She played a lot with BB King and other Blues artist, John Prine, Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton. Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and Grammy winner. I love Angel From Montgomery.

[@RedSinter]

I somehow think John Prine had something to do with this. But Bonnie is the original singer. She's chrnged it up slightly from even her original recording.

[@RitaBowen1]

John plays with her sometimes I think he was on the recording of this song

[@RedSinter]

@@RitaBowen1 l imagine so as their close friends. I think, if memory serves, he wrote the song with her in mind.

[@RitaBowen1]

@@RedSinter Allen Shambling and Mike Reid wrote this song. Bonnie Raitt is the original singer

[@RedSinter]

@@RitaBowen1 then maybe it was John who introduced Bonnie to it.

[@RitaBowen1]

@@RedSinter yep that's probably so!

[@cynhanrahan4012]

This is Bonnie's song. She didn't write it, but it's been her signature piece since the it was released 1991. I can't imagine it in any voice but hers (loud enough to drown out my sing along). I know she's collabed with a few other artists on it, but there are LOTS of recorded covers. It's one of those iconic songs about knowing it's not going to work, and just make me feel that way one more time, and I'll go away. It's hard to sing, it makes me cry.

[@mom2threegyrls]

The difference for me is that Bonnie, a master of her craft, sings with emotion; the listener feels what she is singing. Teddy, while amazing, is a more technical singer.

[@ashleyw7718]

Saw her live this year after a lifetime of loving her. She is INCREDIBLE and has such a strong voice, even now.

[@angelabarazzone7899]

I prefer Bonnie. Teddy is good but he like many singers do overdo their singing. People Like Talking About People.

[@hollypinkley7936]

You can tel she has LIVED that song!!! A gem - love Bonnie!!!!

[@rugerrocker7483]

Bonnie is as pure as it get's. Natural.

[@nancyklingler1335]

Angel from Montgomery...anything will work she is so awesome and one of the greatest guitarists you will find.

[@slm3913]

Love Bonnie Raitt. She sings from the soul.

[@TheLisab56]

Bonnie is loved. She couldn't sing a bad song if she tried. I go waaay back with her. "Guilty" is a classic.
