"I Can't Make You Love Me" was written by Nashville writers Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin, who were well-noted for their successes in the country music arena. The song was rewritten many times before being finalized, months later. "We wrote, most every week, in Mike's basement," Shamblin told Peter Cooper in an interview with the Nashville Tennessean. "And we'd worked on this song for more than six months. One day, he said, 'Come up to the living room,' where his piano was. He sat down and started playing this melody, and it was one of the most moving pieces of music I'd heard. I mean, it hit me in a hard way ... Instantly, I knew it was the best thing I'd ever been a part of."[4] Reid and Shamblin were both country music songwriters, who according to some accounts originally wrote the song as a fast, bluegrass number. Upon slowing down the tempo considerably, they realized the song gained considerable power and thought about giving the song to one of three artists: Bonnie Raitt, Bette Midler or Linda Ronstadt. Eventually, the song made its way to Bonnie Raitt, who recorded the track for her eleventh studio album, Luck of the Draw (1991). Raitt co-produced the song with Don Was, while Bruce Hornsby provided a piano

I love crazy good voices. Joss Stone is someone you have to check out if you love a really soulful voice. I haven't seen many reactions to her songs, but I think you will be extremely pleasantly surprised. You can start with Joss Stone - Tell Me 'Bout It. She is as good live as she is in the studio.

Once again I fail to see why so many people react to this version. Clearly recency bias is king these days. Bonnie Raitt's version isn't merely better, it's miles better emotionally, production wise, and instrumentally. Will someone please do her version instead of this one?
