Bonnie's version all day every day over anyone else. Plus her arrangement and use of instruments just kills all the others.

Her use of instruments? She is a great singer without a doubt, but last I looked it was the brilliant Bruce Hornsby at the piano and not Bonnie Raitt.

@@musashimiyamoto586 I never said her playing of instruments, I said her use of the them. It's how a conductor uses the instruments in the orchestra that makes for different interpretations. But of course you've never played and instrument, been in a studio, or arranged a piece of music so you'll never understand, will you?
