Bonnie Raitt, (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues/R&B singer, songwriter, and guitarist who was born in Burbank, California, the daughter of Broadway musical star John Raitt. Raitt began playing guitar at an early age, something not a lot of her high school girlfriends did. Later she would become famous for her bottleneck-style guitar playing. "I had played a little at school and at camp," she later recalled in a July 2002 interview. "My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby—nothing more...I think people must wonder how a white girl like me became a blues guitarist.

Bluebird Lyrics
Bonnie Raitt
Listen to my blue bird laugh she can tell you why,
Deep within her heart you see, she knows only right
Whoa-oo just light
There she sits this lofty bird the strangest color blue
Flying is forgotten now she thinks only of you
Woo just you
So get all those blues, must be a thousand hues, and each is differently used
You just know, you sit there mezmerized by the deepth of her eyes
And if you categorize she got soul, she got soul, she got soul
Soon she's gon' to fly away, her sadness is her own
Leave beside her bath of tears, she'll go home
