I always think of Sanjaya now whenever I hear anything by Bonnie Raitt.

I heard it this morning as well but not by choice in the laundry room. This is a real genuine song, so real that one of my favourite R&B singers remade it! It was Will Downing.

This is my favorite song from Bonnie and one of my favorites ever. I don't see how anyone could think this song is boring. She conveys such rawness, pain, and sadness. Gorgeous song.

Love Bonnie Raitt but this isn't really one of her best songs. It's okay. I prefer the George Michael version.

A beautiful and yet extremely sad song

I've just grown a liking for this song recently, I don't think I'd heard it before, or paid attention.
I guess I connect with it from a bit of personal experience. I wish more songs these days were like this. I'd say the most recent "love song" to compare to it would be "What's Left of Me."
Anyways, this song looked to be huge in the early 90's when her album "Luck of The Draw" came out. Good stuff.

This is a great song. Just about everybody can relate to the lyrics. I bought this CD a few years ago just for this song.

Never been interested in her music, but this is hands down my fave song by her. "Something To Talk About" is also good.
