Happy 75th birthday to Bonnie Raitt (born 11/8/49), one of the most skilled guitarists and vocalists in the blues and pop realm. With her soulful voice and exceptional slide guitar playing, Raitt continues to sell out venues and is one of the road’s most reliable touring draws. Raitt gained critical acclaim in the 1970s but achieved a commercial breakthrough in 1989 with Nick of Time, which won multiple Grammys and revitalized her career.
