Bonnie Raitt

She's a legend (a 9 time grammy winner who's been around since the early 70's), but one that I've just been turned onto recently. Last wednesday my friend told me he had an extra ticket to her concert and asked if I'd like to go. We got 2nd row seats and got to meet her afterwards. I was blown away by how amazing she was live (she has a beautiful voice and kicks ass on the guitar)  and what a truely strong, genuine and sweet woman she is! Then today I was studying for a music industry quiz and they were talking about her in my book. I found that she's mentioned about 10 times. She's always involved in some kind of activist group or funraising benifit.

Probably he biggest hit is "Something to Talk About", and I also really love, "I Can't Make You Love Me".

She's still very active today! She's currently on tour and released her album, "Souls Alike" on September 13th, 2005.
"i'm willing to do anything
to calm the storm in my heart
i've never been the praying kind
but lately i've been down upon my knees
not looking for a miracle
just a reason to believe"
