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.

Circle Dance Lyrics
Bonnie Raitt
I dont know why it should be sohard
Givin up this circle dance
Worn out steps from long ago
Dont give love a chance
Its a bitter heirloom handed down
These twisted parts we play
Im not her and youre not him
It just comes out that way
Cant go back to make things right
(though I) wish Id understood
Time has made things clearer now
We did the best we could
Ill be home soon, thats what youd say
And a little kid believes
After a while I learned that love
Must be a thing that leaves
I tried so hard just to hold you near
Was as good as I could be
Even when I had you here
You stayed so far from me
Cant go back to make things right
(though I) wish Id understood
Time has made things clearer now
You did the best you could
Now that this has occurred tome
I just wanted you to know
Ive been too faithful all my life
Its time to let you go
