7. I first saw her in the spring of 1970

She was helping do a charity benefit in northern Massachusetts, and I had never seen or heard of her before.

I was totally mesmerizes by her singing, and asked her if she had any recordings out. She said oh no, she was nowhere near that stage yet.

That fall, as I entered college in Philadelphia, there was a concert by some guy I had never heard of named Cat Stevens. The opening act was Bonnie Raitt, who I was only too eager to see again. I was the ONLY one there who had come to see Bonnie Raitt. No one else there had ever heard of her.

That has all changed somewhat, of course..................

Such a great voice.

12. My personal favorite, because it reminds me of

my closest friend from my Chicago years - he died a couple years after I'd left, and I only found out he'd been sick AFTER I found out he'd passed on. This recording was one he'd play on the jukebox whenever we hung out at the neighborhood tap:

13. I always thought she should release a compilation of her early stuff

and call it "First Raitt".
