This has nothing to do with the selection; I just wanted to say the following: I've been watching since Jay did this solo, then introduced his lovely bride Amber. As your program has grown and matured, you guys have gotten better and better, all the while sharing your lives in a way that had me cheering for your every success. I haven't been so excited and proud about tuning in to see a couple since Sonny & Cher. Thank you for your genuine "everyday" family experience. It makes me feel like a proud uncle or something, lol. Your growth in the love of music is infectious. Thank you for all you do to make people's lives better.
I have been with them from the start too. My best friends that I have never met. ❤ Lol, it makes me smile remembering seeing Amber at first, very pregnant, then seeing this petite girl after Luka was born. Lol
Love both theses ladies...and certainly love this classis beauty. They do a great soul interpretation of it. But we can't forget and give tribute to the original, late, great Ms. PATTI PAGE!
The most famous version of this song was recorded in 1950 by Patti Page, whom you haven't reacted to yet. She was one of the greatest female pop/country/jazz crooners, beginning in the 40's and became the top selling female singer throughout the 50's. Your kids will love her song, "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?" Oh, and she was from Oklahoma.
Bonnie is more blues than country to me. This is a great duet here. Bonnie spent some time in our neck of the woods a few decades ago. This is just lovely. Thank you.
YES! Bonnie was the first woman to get a Fender signature guitar series. A blues guitarist extraordinaire who has played with some of the best blues singers such as Sipsy Wallace (original singer of Woman be Wise).
Please do the iconic and classic Boonie with Jon Prine on Angel from Montgomery, so lovely, so true, iconic truly, you'll sing it daily...its very country and folk and real.
Norah Jones and Bonnie Raitt is a duet that makes all of the sense in the world. Norah Jones has always had a little bit of country in her and Raitt’s blues have them meet squarely in the roots/Americana space.
That’s what I came here to say… I wouldn’t classify Bonnie as country. Her first album was released in 1971… not 50s/60s. Check out Love Me Like A Man, Good Man, Good Woman (duet w/ Delbert McClinton), Love Sneakin’ Up On You… Something to Talk About for more of her bluesy sound.
Yep. Started out almost exclusively playing gut-bucket blues and one of the best bottle-neck slide guitars in the business. Solo or with her brother David (I think he called himself “Freebo”), on standup bass.
this is always been my mama‘s favorite song and I went to the University of Tennessee, and on the day that they remembered legendary women’s basketball coach, Pat Summit. They played the Tennessee waltz from the bells on the hill and it was one of the most haunting experiences I’ve ever heard, it was just like your heart of been ripped open. East Tennessee is such a special place and I will always call at home.
Hey guys. Bonnie is more than country. She is also contemporary -won Song of the Year in 2023, is touring, and still rocking it out. She is not really "old school". I don't think she was recording until the 70's though I could be wrong....
I love the Waltz. One of my favorite dances. It can fast and fun and it can be slow and sexy. It is so easy to learn. I do not know why everyone isn't waltzing!!! Lovely duo.
Another reason to check out Miss Patti Page is that she was a native of Oklahoma. She hailed from Claremore and graduated high school in Tulsa. Her "Tennessee Waltz" is iconic. She was a contralto much like Patsy Cline. She had "Tennessee Waltz " "Old Cape Cod" "How Much Is That Doggie in the Window" "Allegheny Moon". Great career and chart topper in her day. Don't overlook Miss Patti Page
What talent. Norah is fabulous. Bonnie (while not a kid any more) was not big in the 50s or 60s lol. Her 1st album released in 1971. Critics loved it, but it did not do as well in sales. Bonnie did a lot of studio and session work. Everybody wanted her playing and singing on their records. She did put out about 8 more albums over the next 17 or 18 years, with moderate success. Then in 89 she released an album that went to number 1 on the billboard charts. Her next 2 albums each sold over a million copies. She won 13 Grammys and had another 17 nominations. She is now in her 70s and still getting it done. She released a single in 2022 that won the Grammy for song of the year. She also looks and sounds just like she did at 30. Rolling Stone magazine listed her at #50 on their list of the 100 greatest singers of all time and at #89 on their list of the 100 greatest guitar players of all time. She is country, blues, folk and rock. Great choice Amber and a great reaction guys.
Norah Jones is in 2 country leaning bands - The Little Willies and Puss N Boots. Few others songs to check out are live cover of Johnny Cash's Home of the Blues at a tribute to him. Its sublime. Also cover of Townes Van Zandt song Loretta with Gillian Welch and David Rawlings.
Released as a single in 1948 The Tennessee Waltz was designated a Tennessee state song in 1965. Although these two very talented ladies did an excellent job, the most beloved version is by Patti Page in 1950.
Thank you so much. The very first song I remember hearing on the radio was Tennessee Waltz sung by Patti Page. One of my all time favorite songs. This version is absolutely beautiful. If you want more Nora and Bonnie, check out Ray Charles' last CD, Genius Loves Company. He does a duet with each one of them, along with about 10 other artists.
This song is from the 40’s but became popular in the 1950’s when recorded by the outstanding superstar Patti Page. You need to react to her version. It is one of the most popular songs ever.
OMG!!! I have tears streaming from my eyes down my face witnessing these two extraordinary women artists perform....it is so Beautiful! Like Angels singing. Goodness Gracious! Wow @ Amber & Jay are right! Wow! Love Love this performance and Jay and Amber's reaction!!!! Stellar!!!
Jay & Amber thanks so much for this reaction! I love how much you both love these two. I was definitely waiting for this one. Another suggestion is Norah Jones and the Little Willie's. Love me is a great song by them!
Had the awesome pleasure of attending a Norah Jones concert a few years ago and she does Country as good as she does Jazz. Beautiful beautiful music from two greats.❤
The version recorded by Patti Page in 1950 was my favorite record back when all we had were my parents 78 rpms. I will always love this song. One slight correction: Raitt is more of a blues musician than country.
I'm a long time fan of Bonnie Raitt back to when she first started and I saw her and her early bass player Freebo playing as a dup at the Troubadour in Hollywood. But Bonnie isn't a Country singer her background is the old acoustic Blues players that's where she developed her guitar style and slide guitar playing. I've seen Bonnie live a number of times and she always a great show. Norah I'm a more recent fan of but love her voice and music. These two sound so-so good together.
In 2023, Bonnie Raitt won the Grammy for Best Song.Taylor Swift, Adele, Bonnie Raitt, GAYLE, DJ Khaled, Steve Lacy, Lizzo, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, and Harry Styles were up for the award. Bonnie won for her greatest song. "Just Like That" PLEASE PLAY IT. Have tissues ready.
Beautiful! I'd never heard this version. Loved your reaction to it! For your film channel, Harry Dean Stanton sings this song at the end of Fire Down Below, a Steven Seagal film I like a lot. Harry had been a character actor and singer for over 60 years, dying at the age of 91 in 2018. He's a supporting actor in this film and he's great! Kris Kristofferson plays the villain in this picture too! A much older version of Kris than Convoy!
I never would have thought of these two together but that was beautiful! I got to see Bonnie in concert once and she was incredible! A true treasured experience. And Norah Jones, what else can be said, she's phenomenal! I didn't know this video existed, so thank you for sharing it with us.
I noticed how Norah kept her eyes on Bonnie. Bonnie must be one of those singers who seldom sing a song the same way twice. I remember hearing people say that Willie Nelson was hard to sing with because he is that way. And for singers who go note for note it is difficult. Ray Charles was another one.
My mother loved this song. Lost her in 1993. I grew up hearing it from infancy, she had a 45 of it, pressed in green vinyl. Thanks for bringing it back.
My Dad always love the original of this tune. 1950s or so. I still love it. (Patti Page version) but Nora and Bonnie did a good bang up job w/ this version. THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT by the TOKENS please
my mom sang this to me when I was a kid. If you ever attend a University of Tennessee Football game on homecoming the band plays this song every time. Everyone stands up and pays homage to our state.
Bonnie and Norah were born famous. They didn't even have to try, but they not only tried, they excelled. Norah Jones is Ravi Shankar's daughter, for Christ's sake, and she also looks a whole lot like Amber. Probably intentionally. And Bonnie is actor/singer John Raitt's brainy daughter, about whom Wikipedia says: "after graduating from Oakwood Friends School in Poughkeepsie, New York in 1967, Raitt entered Radcliffe College of Harvard University, majoring in Social Relations and African studies." Their voices melt me. Love me some Female Friday!
Now is time to keep the Tennessee theme going with a reaction to the "Tennessee Stud" as performed by the 'Nitty Gritty Dirt Band' featuring Doc Watson. It was released in 1972. The song was originally sung by Jimmy Driftwood in 1959 but was covered by many including Doc Watson, Johnny Cash, Eddy Arnold and Chet Atkins. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's version is excellent with nobody telling the story better than Doc Watson who seemed genuinely thrilled to be a part of the recording.
I never thought I would love this song as much as when it is sung by Emmylou Harris by anyone. However ...truly... Norah Jones and Bonnie Raitt just as magical and brilliant. Loved this!
I have never thought of Bonnie Raitt as country. She’s rock/blues. I have loved Norah Jones since her first cd. Two awesome voices coming together is magic.
Anytime i see a video featuring Norah Jones, I'm reminded of the time I ran into her at Red Rock in Colorado during her big 2003 tour, and had coffee with her at gift shop nearby. She was very chill to talk to
Allison Krause & Robert Plant - Killing the Blues Debby Harry (Blondie) & The Ramones - Go Lil’ Camaro Go Ann Wilson (Heart) & Robin Zander (Cheap Trick) - Surrender to Me Bananarama & Fun Boy Three - Really Saying Something Chrissie Hynde & UB40 - I Got You Babe
One of the fun things about being from Tennessee is that when musicians in other countries find that out, they immediately play The Tennessee Waltz. Had it happen at a random spot on the Ring of Kerry in Ireland eighteen months ago.
A bit over 50 years ago I was in college in Colorado. My roommate grabbed me one night and said we had to go hear this gal called Bonnie Raitt. I had never heard of her and didn't want to go (cold, drizzly night, class early next morning) but Patrick was from Boston where she was big then and insisted. She was amazing!
I played in a dance band for 25+ years, I can't even count the number of times we played Tennessee Waltz! What a beautiful rendition by these two iconic voices.
Great duet. love them both! Have suggested before for a reaction to Bonnie's "Write Me a Few of Your Lines/Kokomo Blues," "Woman Be Wise," and "Thing Called Love" to see her dig into blues with great slide guitar.
Fantastic concert video. Perfect blend of two great voices singing a classic song. I see others have already told you about Patti Page. Bonnie is rooted in the blues and released her first album in 1971 when she was still only 21. She is the queen of the slide guitar. Beautiful tone. Elmore James was known as the king of the slide guitar. I hope you get around to him. Check out It Hurts Me Too and The Sky Is Crying. Please keep listening to Bonnie and Norah.
Would you ever do something from a musical, a really beautiful song is … “I dreamed a dream” by Patti LuPone OR sung by Randy Graff, both are females for your female Friday.. This song made Susan Boyle famous on Americas got talent haha! Also, Sade- “by your side” (she’s got a bunch of great songs) Heart - “Magic Man” Irma Thomas- “Anyone who knows what love is”
In 1990, I lived on campus at Michigan State University and Bonnie Raitt played a concert right across the street from my campus apartment and I could hear it loud and clear. I went outside and sat in my lawn chair in the dark, just to enjoy her concert. Phenomenal
The 1950 recording of "Tennessee Waltz" by Patti Page was on the charts for 30 weeks, 12 of them in the top 10, and eventually sold more than 10 million copies, behind only "White Christmas" at the time. So, it is the "must listen to" version.

This has nothing to do with the selection; I just wanted to say the following:
I've been watching since Jay did this solo, then introduced his lovely bride Amber. As your program has grown and matured, you guys have gotten better and better, all the while sharing your lives in a way that had me cheering for your every success.
I haven't been so excited and proud about tuning in to see a couple since Sonny & Cher.
Thank you for your genuine "everyday" family experience. It makes me feel like a proud uncle or something, lol. Your growth in the love of music is infectious. Thank you for all you do to make people's lives better.
I have been with them from the start too. My best friends that I have never met. ❤
Lol, it makes me smile remembering seeing Amber at first, very pregnant, then seeing this petite girl after Luka was born. Lol
I have no problem supporting them, as a spectator and financial supporter. They are worth it!
Yes indeed!
Love both theses ladies...and certainly love this classis beauty. They do a great soul interpretation of it. But we can't forget and give tribute to the original, late, great Ms. PATTI PAGE!
Totally agree with you 💯 ❤❤❤❤❤
No one could sing this song like Patti Page. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
STILL Patti's song....but, they did a great cover of it!! :)
The singin' rage Miss Patti Page, from Claremore, Oklahoma.
Tennessee Waltz is a great oldie sung by many singers.This does not dissappoint.
This is a great version, but they would be well served to also listen to a more traditional country version.
Patsy Cline!!
The most famous version of this song was recorded in 1950 by Patti Page, whom you haven't reacted to yet. She was one of the greatest female pop/country/jazz crooners, beginning in the 40's and became the top selling female singer throughout the 50's. Your kids will love her song, "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?" Oh, and she was from Oklahoma.
I remember How Much Is That Doggie in The Window! I loved that as a kid.
I had never heard this version before. I am only familiar with the Patti Page version.
Shut up
Jay & Amber, You'll love Bonnie's "Thing Called Love", "Nick of Time", "Loves Sneakin' Up On You" and many more!!!
The Song about the Midway by Bonnie is beautiful
Could we get them to do the original "Thing Called Love" 'cuz they are sleeping on the amazing John Hiatt
And Love Letter, another great song!!!!
Pls…puleassse…do Bonnie’s “Gnawin On It”!!!
Bonnie is more blues than country to me. This is a great duet here. Bonnie spent some time in our neck of the woods a few decades ago. This is just lovely. Thank you.
Yes - Bonnie is a blues singer, and the word Tennessee in the title does not make it a country song
Please get to know Bonnie as one of the most bad-ass blues guitarists. Listen to some "Mighty Tight Woman" or "Women Be Wise".
YES! Bonnie was the first woman to get a Fender signature guitar series. A blues guitarist extraordinaire who has played with some of the best blues singers such as Sipsy Wallace (original singer of Woman be Wise).
Please do the iconic and classic Boonie with Jon Prine on Angel from Montgomery, so lovely, so true, iconic truly, you'll sing it daily...its very country and folk and real.

Bonnie is a Blues queen
And she's not form the 50's and 60's... that would make her 80-90 years old which she isn't. She started in the 70s and hit it big in 80s.
this is always been my mama‘s favorite song and I went to the University of Tennessee, and on the day that they remembered legendary women’s basketball coach, Pat Summit. They played the Tennessee waltz from the bells on the hill and it was one of the most haunting experiences I’ve ever heard, it was just like your heart of been ripped open.

I’m middle TN born and bred. This is special. Pat would have loved it.

A great Female Friday choice would be Roseanne Cash (yes, Johnny's kid) singing Tennessee Flat Top Box. Dare you to get 1 minute in without dancing..
Two brilliant talented women
What talent. Norah is fabulous. Bonnie (while not a kid any more) was not big in the 50s or 60s lol. Her 1st album released in 1971. Critics loved it, but it did not do as well in sales.

Also cover of Townes Van Zandt song Loretta with Gillian Welch and David Rawlings.
😢 Pure perfection!
Two of the most soulful voices, the Ying and Yang of bluesy soul.
Bonnie is from a blues background. I saw her when she first started out in the 70's. She is still fantastic! Listen to her Give it up or let me go!
Released as a single in 1948 The Tennessee Waltz was designated a Tennessee state song in 1965.
Although these two very talented ladies did an excellent job, the most beloved version is by Patti Page in 1950.
I have the CD. It's awesome!
❤❤❤ Ms. Bonnie & Ms. Norah i ❤ them both 🎉🎉😊😊 U cant go Wrong
They are so good together. I love them both, but this duet was new to me.
I love to watch Amber, her face tells you exactly how the music moves her…Jason you are lucky.
When I was a kid my mom used to play Patti Page’s version of this song. This is a great cover but Patti Page’s is pure nostalgia for me.
As a 42 year old I have no right to say this but it’s Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney and Patti Page for me. These three ladies make my ears melt. Wow!
Thank you so much. The very first song I remember hearing on the radio was Tennessee Waltz sung by Patti Page. One of my all time favorite songs. This version is absolutely beautiful. If you want more Nora and Bonnie, check out Ray Charles' last CD, Genius Loves Company. He does a duet with each one of them, along with about 10 other artists.
Miss Jones, you just stole my heart. What a sweetheart
I could listen to either one of these beautiful voices sing the dictionary or phone book!
Big hit for Patti Page in 1950 , I Went to Your Wedding, Allegheny Moon,Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, Old Cape Cod and so many more.
Bonnie Raitt is known as a blues singer
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Finally revisiting Bonnie!
This song is from the 40’s but became popular in the 1950’s when recorded by the outstanding superstar Patti Page. You need to react to her version. It is one of the most popular songs ever.
OMG!!! I have tears streaming from my eyes down my face witnessing these two extraordinary women artists perform....it is so Beautiful! Like Angels singing. Goodness Gracious! Wow @ Amber & Jay are right! Wow! Love Love this performance and Jay and Amber's reaction!!!! Stellar!!!
If I had 10 thumbs, I'd put em all up for these two remarkable ladies.
Jay & Amber thanks so much for this reaction! I love how much you both love these two. I was definitely waiting for this one. Another suggestion is Norah Jones and the Little Willie's. Love me is a great song by them!
Had the awesome pleasure of attending a Norah Jones concert a few years ago and she does Country as good as she does Jazz. Beautiful beautiful music from two greats.❤
Written in 1946 and first released in Jan. 1948 this song became a multi million seller via a 1950 recording by Patti Page.
Two fantastic musicians who have yet to misstep; Top Tier✌️❤️ ((Y'all MUST listen to Bonnie's Love Me Like a Man🔥
Tennessee Waltz was written in 1946 by Pee Wee King and Redd Stewart.
Norah Jones & Ray Charles
"Here we go again," simply fantastic!
Patti Page, from Claremore, OK, recorded it in 1950.
Bonnie Rait and Norah Jones together is surprisingly beautiful. Thanks. I have not heard this one!
The version recorded by Patti Page in 1950 was my favorite record back when all we had were my parents 78 rpms. I will always love this song. One slight correction: Raitt is more of a blues musician than country.
Good combo--- Kenny Loggins, Stevie Nicks "Whenever I Call You Friend"
Perfect combo.
I'm a long time fan of Bonnie Raitt back to when she first started and I saw her and her early bass player Freebo playing as a dup at the Troubadour in Hollywood. But Bonnie isn't a Country singer her background is the old acoustic Blues players that's where she developed her guitar style and slide guitar playing. I've seen Bonnie live a number of times and she always a great show. Norah I'm a more recent fan of but love her voice and music. These two sound so-so good together.
Bonnie Raitts rendition of Runaway is one to listen too.
This makes ME want to cry, because it's my home state's song. I'm no longer in TN and it makes me a bit homesick.
In 2023, Bonnie Raitt won the Grammy for Best Song.Taylor Swift, Adele, Bonnie Raitt, GAYLE, DJ Khaled, Steve Lacy, Lizzo, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, and Harry Styles were up for the award. Bonnie won for her greatest song. "Just Like That"
PLEASE PLAY IT.
Have tissues ready.
Norah Jones' father was Ravi Shankar. A Sitar virtuoso and compiser who played at Woodstock. Norah was born Geethali Norah Jones Shankar.
Beautiful! I'd never heard this version. Loved your reaction to it! For your film channel, Harry Dean Stanton sings this song at the end of Fire Down Below, a Steven Seagal film I like a lot. Harry had been a character actor and singer for over 60 years, dying at the age of 91 in 2018. He's a supporting actor in this film and he's great! Kris Kristofferson plays the villain in this picture too! A much older version of Kris than Convoy!
The original Tennessee waltz is probably my dad‘s favourite country & western song ever
I never would have thought of these two together but that was beautiful! I got to see Bonnie in concert once and she was incredible! A true treasured experience. And Norah Jones, what else can be said, she's phenomenal! I didn't know this video existed, so thank you for sharing it with us.
Tennessee was first sung by Patti Page on 1948
That's a lot of talent on one stage. They took a old waltz country song, turned it into a blues song and made it hip and better.
Bonnie started performing music in the 70s but she did not become popular until the 90s.
I noticed how Norah kept her eyes on Bonnie. Bonnie must be one of those singers who seldom sing a song the same way twice. I remember hearing people say that Willie Nelson was hard to sing with because he is that way. And for singers who go note for note it is difficult. Ray Charles was another one.
Love it, love it, love it! Been on my list since it was recorded.....thank you!
Such magic from ladies of different generations
My mother loved this song. Lost her in 1993. I grew up hearing it from infancy, she had a 45 of it, pressed in green vinyl.
Thanks for bringing it back.
Two of my favorite ladies! 💙💜💙💜💙💜
I'd recommend checking out the original by Patti Page and also Eva Cassidy's cover of "Tennessee Waltz".
My Dad always love the original of this tune. 1950s or so. I still love it. (Patti Page version) but Nora and Bonnie did a good bang up job w/ this version.
THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT by the TOKENS please
my mom sang this to me when I was a kid. If you ever attend a University of Tennessee Football game on homecoming the band plays this song every time. Everyone stands up and pays homage to our state.
Bonnie and Norah were born famous. They didn't even have to try, but they not only tried, they excelled. Norah Jones is Ravi Shankar's daughter, for Christ's sake, and she also looks a whole lot like Amber. Probably intentionally. And Bonnie is actor/singer John Raitt's brainy daughter, about whom Wikipedia says: "after graduating from Oakwood Friends School in Poughkeepsie, New York in 1967, Raitt entered Radcliffe College of Harvard University, majoring in Social Relations and African studies." Their voices melt me. Love me some Female Friday!
I didn't know that about Bonnie
Tennessee Waltz is definitely Country, but Bonnie and Norah are really great at Blues.
Bonnie is blues and is more from the 70s until even today. Still performing!
This song is a classic 💕
Norah & Richard Julian “That’s The Ay That the World Goes Round”❤️❤️❤️❤️
The John Prine song?
Favourite piece performed by Bonnie Raitt has got to be Bluebird 😍 Best song to sing in the car lol "she got soul, she got soul, she got soouuuuuuuul"
Now is time to keep the Tennessee theme going with a reaction to the "Tennessee Stud" as performed by the 'Nitty Gritty Dirt Band' featuring Doc Watson. It was released in 1972. The song was originally sung by Jimmy Driftwood in 1959 but was covered by many including Doc Watson, Johnny Cash, Eddy Arnold and Chet Atkins. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's version is excellent with nobody telling the story better than Doc Watson who seemed genuinely thrilled to be a part of the recording.
Norah and Dolly Parton collaborated on a song called Creeping In. It’s lovely.
Bonnie is a LATE 60s to now Blues singer...
Possibly the coolest video you guys have ever reviewed. Amazing. Thank you.
I never thought I would love this song as much as when it is sung by Emmylou Harris by anyone. However ...truly... Norah Jones and Bonnie Raitt just as magical and brilliant. Loved this!
One of the best concerts ever was Norah live at the House of Blues.
I have never thought of Bonnie Raitt as country. She’s rock/blues. I have loved Norah Jones since her first cd. Two awesome voices coming together is magic.
the best state song..Tennessee rocks
Anytime i see a video featuring Norah Jones, I'm reminded of the time I ran into her at Red Rock in Colorado during her big 2003 tour, and had coffee with her at gift shop nearby. She was very chill to talk to
Allison Krause & Robert Plant - Killing the Blues
Debby Harry (Blondie) & The Ramones - Go Lil’ Camaro Go
Ann Wilson (Heart) & Robin Zander (Cheap Trick) - Surrender to Me
Bananarama & Fun Boy Three - Really Saying Something
Chrissie Hynde & UB40 - I Got You Babe
I first heard the old country version by Pee Wee King, but I always loved this song. This version is something special!
One of the fun things about being from Tennessee is that when musicians in other countries find that out, they immediately play The Tennessee Waltz. Had it happen at a random spot on the Ring of Kerry in Ireland eighteen months ago.
Fabulous duo singing an absolute classic Americana tune. You guys just made my Friday, thanks. ✌️
It would be nice if you reacted to the original by Patti Page.
A bit over 50 years ago I was in college in Colorado. My roommate grabbed me one night and said we had to go hear this gal called Bonnie Raitt. I had never heard of her and didn't want to go (cold, drizzly night, class early next morning) but Patrick was from Boston where she was big then and insisted. She was amazing!
In the 50s and 60s, Bonnie was mostly known just to her family. 😘
I played in a dance band for 25+ years, I can't even count the number of times we played Tennessee Waltz! What a beautiful rendition by these two iconic voices.
The original was my late parents' favorite song.
What a trio! Two great singers with a classic country song. Listing now!
Great duet. love them both! Have suggested before for a reaction to Bonnie's "Write Me a Few of Your Lines/Kokomo Blues," "Woman Be Wise," and "Thing Called Love" to see her dig into blues with great slide guitar.
Bonnie Raitt would never be considered country. She is blues and jazz.
Fantastic concert video. Perfect blend of two great voices singing a classic song. I see others have already told you about Patti Page. Bonnie is rooted in the blues and released her first album in 1971 when she was still only 21. She is the queen of the slide guitar. Beautiful tone. Elmore James was known as the king of the slide guitar. I hope you get around to him. Check out It Hurts Me Too and The Sky Is Crying. Please keep listening to Bonnie and Norah.
Would you ever do something from a musical, a really beautiful song is …

The definitive version is by "the Singin' Rage" Miss Patti Page.
In 1990, I lived on campus at Michigan State University and Bonnie Raitt played a concert right across the street from my campus apartment and I could hear it loud and clear. I went outside and sat in my lawn chair in the dark, just to enjoy her concert. Phenomenal
The 1950 recording of "Tennessee Waltz" by Patti Page was on the charts for 30 weeks, 12 of them in the top 10, and eventually sold more than
10 million copies, behind only "White Christmas" at the time. So, it is the "must listen to" version.
A duet I didn't know existed and I didn't know I needed to hear! Such different voices, but they sound absolutely amazing together. Nice find Amber!
