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.

Love Letter Lyrics
Bonnie Raitt
Sittin in front of your house,
Like rain in early dawn
Workin on a love letter
Got my radio on.
Got my eye on your window pane
And I smoked a lot of cigarettes.
Mercy, mercy but love is strange
And you havent even kissed me yet.
Look comes to push,
Push comes to shove,
Shove comes to touch,
Touch will come to love.
Workin on a love letter,
Listenin to a love song,
Im writing you a love letter, love letter,
Got my radio on...radio, radio
Hope you get the message baby.
I know that youre gonna let me in.
Its real in your neighborhood
And this is more than Im gonna bend.
Look comes to push,
Push comes to shove,
Shove comes to touch,
Touch will come to love.
Why dont sit waitin
Why dont behavin
Loves waiting in the car,
In the car and rain now.
Workin on a love letter,
Listenin to a love song,
Im writing you a love letter, love letter,
Got my radio on...radio, radio
Guitar solo
Look comes to push,
Push comes to shove,
Shove comes to touch,
Touch will come to love.
(3 times with adlibs)
Workin on a love letter,
Listenin to a love song,
Im writing you a love letter, love letter,
Got my radio on...radio, radio
