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.

Louise Lyrics
Bonnie Raitt
Well they all said louise was not half bad
It was written on the walls and window shades
And how shed act the little girl
A deceiver, dont believe her thats her trade
Sometimes a bottle of perfume,
Flowers and maybe some lace
Men brought louise ten cent trinkets
Their intentions were easily traced
Yes and everybody knew at times she cried
But women like louise they get by
Well everybody thought it kind of sad
When they found louise in her room
Theyd always put her down below their kind
Still some cried when she died this afternoon
Lousie rode home on the mail train
Somewhere to the south I heard it said
Too bad it ended so ugly,
Too bad she had to go this way
Ah but the wind is blowing cold tonight
So good night louise, good night
