[@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 ❤

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@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

[@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!

[@Starbuck-dr7yl]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@ronwhittaker6317]

if you have a real broken heart. don't get drunk and listen to this song it will reck you. I know. bless Bonnie's heart and I don't mean that in a southern manner.

[@seaneendelong8065]

5 years on and stone cold sober- and here I am ugly crying in my car and feels like my heart got ripped out my chest all over again... 😐💔

[@ashlealabine6937]

Too many times. 💛

[@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.

[@bengilbert7655]

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

[@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 !

[@sherrydick8330]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@aerynoftalyn1307]

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

[@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

[@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"

[@Raittway]

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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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. ❤

[@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.

[@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.

[@rbodee]

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

[@ddore1962]

Beautiful song. Beautiful voice.

[@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.

[@jennyhagemann5159]

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

[@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.

[@timsmith1426]

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

[@bethellen1962]

“It was meant to do this exact thing. And I am glad she’s doing it.” Beautifully said! 🙏😊🙏

[@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.

[@danaagenbroad]

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

[@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.

[@buttcheeksmcgee4272]

She makes you feel a pain that everyone has felt at some point in their lives... When she sings it, I cry.... There are very few artists that have that ability and she does that so well. She is an amazing artist for sure.

[@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

[@starrycrown]

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

[@richpaige32]

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

[@sandrasofiahsexton3917]

one of her best

[@DNotzz]

This has got to be my favorite rendition of the song. She really owns it and u can tell she has sung it many times and is very comfortable with it. Also, the passion. U can feel the heartbreak.

[@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"

[@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.

[@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

[@megegert861]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@vanessamcfadden8335]

This has been my favorite song since it came out years ago .😘😘

[@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!!!

[@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...

[@MMM-qy2en]

This has always been a favorite of mine. Takes my breath away every time I hear it. Perfection

[@linjones8686]

This Is My Favorite Bonnie Raitt Song With Bruce Hornsby💖Also "Going Wild For U Baby"🌹🎶

[@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 ☮️😎

[@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

[@diannashort8072]

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

[@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

[@jamessorby7688]

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

[@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

[@MrDalebenberger]

Not the first time I’ve heard Bonnie sing this, but the first time I’ve seen and heard. She makes it seem so effortless. What a fantastic bell clear uncluttered voice she has. A God given gift. Thanks for this video.

[@1972vulture]

These kinds of videos are a constant reminder that one of the best things about music is the discovery of music new to you. Keep broadening those horizons y'all.

[@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!

[@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!

[@ukbbnfan7019]

I took my mother to one of Bonnie’s concerts and she was absolutely amazing. Phenomenal artist.

[@amymack1954]

Bonnie is one of my absolute favorites, and this is one of my favorite songs of hers.

[@davidkyle5017]

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

[@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.

[@Ms.EdensPlaylist]

Bonnie Raitt is a legendary blues artist. Love her ❤

[@rk41gator]

Bonnie can melt your heart with that voice and pathos. Such an authentic soul. She feels the power. She has the power. What a wonderfully strong woman.

[@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

[@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

[@davidstevens9523]

One of my all time favorite artists! One of the best blues guitarist around and yes her songs have been covered by lots of people.

[@breemassulik768]

you did an excellent read on this song by Bonnie Raitt, This is one of my favorite songs of hers she brings all the emotion right into your gut.

[@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

[@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.

[@lisasilver8054]

Bonnie is amazing and I love her bluesy vibe. This is hands down my favorite of her songs but I love Something to Talk About

[@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?

[@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.

[@Barbara_M.]

Through time I've heard many covers of this songs but to me none rival this one. The poignant lyrics and beautiful melody, the arrangement in its simplicity, her voice suits it and her flawless delivery, all balanced perfectly, it sounds sincere and I can't seem to tire of listening to it. I believe it's her original, if not she's made it her own. A great artist for a timeless song.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

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.

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

[@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.

[@rylynn873]

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

[@rebeccastratton4114]

Every time I hear this it guts me. Listening to it like this makes me ache. I've always loved this song. It's one of her best.

[@mikelogan5629]

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

[@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.

[@bethgillette948]

Yep, that's Bonnie's song. I love love Bonnie Raitt! So glad you've discovered and shared her work.

[@ashleyw7718]

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

[@stgermain1074]

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

[@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.

[@MelBunting68]

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

[@markieproductions22]

Simpler is better.we have a chance to listen to and feel that voice. Beautiful!

[@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!
