Bonnie Raitt - Blues

Bonnie Lynn Raitt (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues singer-songwriter, born in Burbank, California. During the 1970s, Raitt released a series of acclaimed roots-influenced albums which incorporated elements of blues, rock, folk and country, but she is perhaps best known for her more commercially accessible recordings in the 1990s including "Nick of Time", "Something to Talk About", "Love Sneakin' Up on You", and the slow ballad "I Can't Make You Love Me." Raitt has received nine Grammy Awards in her career and is an avid political activist.

White Soul

There is a certain degree of musical snobbery when the topic of 'blue-eyed soul' comes up. Well I have blue eyes and am white and I enjoy all sorts of music. I don't like the idea of ghettozisation of music - surely its about creativity not race, colour etc. I include a list of my favourite artists often labelled as such.

Dusty Springfield - this performance spot on - so are lots of Black versions as well but so is this!

Van Morrison
Elkie Brooks - I first saw her in her Vinegar Joe days.
Steve Marriott
Average White Band - Scottish soul at its best. I remember seeing them 35ish years ago at 3.00am having breathed in substances - (only ever done that 3 or 4 times by the way) - brilliant

Steve Winwood
George Michael

I melt everytime I hear this
