Dennis Quaid...what an amazingly hot man. I remember and interview Bonnie did for this video and she said that she and Dennis were friends which is why he is in the video. She also said how disconcerting it was to have him grinning and leering at her through the whole thing. Since it makes me blush to watch the major flirting going on, and it wasn't even directed at me...I can only imagine what it feels like to have the full power of a Dennis Quaid flirt turned on you.
Bonnie Raitt is a guitar goddess! I've been a fan 4ever, have loved every song, or should I say, experience Bonnie she lets the audience in on !! THANK YOU, MS RAITT 😊❤
Was 12 when it first came out. Gave it a chance because of Quaid, I had seen Dreamscape and Innerspace several times. Stayed for the music and never looked back.
Because they're friends and at the time he was a huge movie star and wanted to give her album a boost - and it worked. People watched for him and fell in love with her music.
I believe that Bonnie was doing her "comeback" [if you like that, check out Bonnie's version of "Angel from Montgomery"] album & Dennis was portraying Jerry Lee Lewis in the film "Great Balls of Fire". Dennis' movie & Bonnie's "Nick of Time" LP/CD were both released in 1989. Both brilliant, in my CP-riddled, lazy-eyed, [right-side] hemiplegic, half-spastic, hydrocephalic opinion!
I had this as a tape cassette and wore it out!! I played it all the time. Amazing how the lyrics and melody come right back even after not hearing these songs for a while. She was one of my absolute favorites.
@@sharoncole3774 Some days, I just do some cooking or whatever, and go from one old song to another, as I get reminded. So many great songs/artists from my younger days. :)
Dennis Quaid was my major crush! He made my heart race! I saw him play with his band The Mystics in the 80’s! I almost fainted when he winked at me! Dang! And that smile....melting hearts!
I was backstage for Miss Raitt and James Taylor in Cincinnati. Miss Raitt was a total sweetheart and , unlike other artists, she came by and talked to myself and another guard. I didn't get to the concert that night, but I was there for the sound check and, wow, goosebumps. Thank you Miss Raitt. Many artists just walk on by. You didn't.
Yes... JOHN HIATT is One INCREDIBLE Songwriter and has Helped Champion SO MANY with WICKED TUNES like THIS for BONNIE RAITT.... PURE TALENT HERE and 'BEHIND THIS SONG', Too!!! Thanks RUclips for helping Promote Talented Artists. ❤ 😂 ❤ 😅
*Such* a good song! John Hiatt sure can write songs, and Bonnie is an amazing singer! And Dennis Quaid is just too good looking in this! I love the nod to Jerry Lee Lewis with the Sun Records t-shirt. He was playing Jerry Lee in "Great Balls of Fire" in the same timeframe as this.
Bonnie said in an interview that Dennis Quaid "was the cutest guy she could think of for the video" or something along those lines. This is one of the vids I keep coming back to over the years.
I was actually googling her, cause I just found out that this album was number 1 on the billboard charts the week when I was born, and I had no idea who she was 😂Gotta say, not bad at all, I like that this was the number 1 album at the time 😂 (thank God it wasn't Milli Vanilli haha 🤪)
Vibrato and Phrasing are just incredible. Nobody hangs a note out longer then gets there with that perfect vibrato and some extra strings ringing like Bonnie. Oh... And her voice is Golden. No woman or man like her in music. A true musician.
This is a big bump. Hope it rolls, Lol. I'm so, looking forward to seeing Bonnie, at The Britt Venue, in Jacksonville, Oregon. In August, 2022. I'm still rocking it at 65. My new friend, after the death of both our spouses, is a willing and able partner in fun and games. Gabby and Morock, we do rock. Be there, kids, we're hard to miss at a venue of 3k or less. Lol.
Every second of this video is perfectly edited, fun, energetic and flirty! I remember falling in love with Bonnie when this came out. What a talent! And a treasure trove of music to enjoy. Thank you for all of the incredible music Bonnie! :)
Bonnie Raitt is a incredibly talented woman with a incredible voice and when she sings a (LOVE) 💞💞💞 song it's like hearing your heart starting to beat for the first time with what it's meant to be in (love) 💖💖💖*
Don't have to humble yourself to me I ain't your judge or your king Baby, you know I ain't no Queen of Sheba We may not even have our dignity This could be just a powerful thing Baby we can choose you know we ain't no amoeba Are you ready for the thing called love Don't come from me and you It comes from up above I ain't no porcupine Take off your kid gloves Are you ready for the thing called love I ain't some icon carved out of soap Sent here to clean up your reputation Baby, you know you ain't no Prince Charming We can live in fear or act out of hope For some kind of peaceful situation Baby, how come the cry of love is so alarming Are you ready for the thing called love Don't come from me and you It comes from up above I ain't no porcupine Take off your kid gloves Are you ready for the thing called love Ugly ducklings don't turn into swans And glide off down the lake Whether your sunglasses are off or on You only see the world you make Are you ready for the thing called love Don't come from me and you It comes from up above I ain't no porcupine Take off your kid gloves Are you ready for it Are you ready for the thing called love Don't come from me and you It comes from up above I ain't no porcupine Take off your kid gloves Are you ready for it Are you ready for love, baby Ooh yeah babe Are you ready for love
When this particular video was released VH1(when they were a little more offbeat) played the heck out of this video and helped her immensely in her comeback.
This lady is so sensual and beautiful and sings like an angel. She is also mega talented. I never listened to country until her. Thank you, Bonnie, you are my hardcore beautiful woman. I was first introduced to your talent in about 1977. You are definitely one of my favorite artists.
Paraphrasing John Hiatt from a show a few years ago, while playing this song. I wrote a verse professing my undying love to my wife, but Bonnie opted for a brilliant slide guitar solo in its place, she won a grammy, so I guess she knew better. Fwiw, I love both
We've heard of the king of rock and roll. Well maybe Roy was the God of same. The man was blessed with the greatest voice ever and the talent to write some of the greatest songs ever recorded! Roy Orbison will never be forgotten!!
i had no clue he was in a music video! Was watching something about top 10 female guitarists and they were showing Bonnie and this video and i had to pause once i saw Dennis haha.
I do believe this was filmed in the shadow/timeframe of "Great Balls of Fire", hence Dennis' still-blonde hair, the Sun Records T-shirt and the 50's kinda shoes. He was at peak Dennis Quaid here. Every woman I knew back then, when watching/talking about this video, just got all...well, never mind. Let's keep YT family-friendly. I don't talk all dirty on here, even if it coming from/quoting others. 😁
Bonnie Raitt is so Freakin' cool Especially being She's 1# of the Greatest Slide Electric Blues 🎸🎶😃 rock in Guitarist of all - time along with the Greats such as Jimmy & Stevie Ray Vaughan plus Eric Clapton " I 💙 you Bonnie !!!!
Lewis just gets in the way! This is my favourite of all her wonderful stuff. They don't make talent like her in every way since mid 90's. we r now 2016.
Are you ready for it Are you ready for love, baby Oooh yeah babe Are you ready for love " Bonnie is fantastic ..what a voice.. great memories with this song :)
Видеоклипы
I don’t know how Bonnie was able to concentrate enough to play with Dennis sitting there! 😍😍😍
Bonnie Raitt - GODESS OF THE SLIDE !!! She has no equal !!
Bonnies strong but sheepish grin and Quaids boyish moves, couldnt ask for more flirtiness
Brings back fun times and romance.😮
Dennis Quaid...what an amazingly hot man. I remember and interview Bonnie did for this video and she said that she and Dennis were friends which is why he is in the video.

That smile of his made me weak as a teenager. Val Kilmers too the way it just slowly grew into a full grin. So sly.
he was also married to Meg Ryan at the time.. but if Bonnie looked and flirted with me like she did at Dennis.. id put a ring on her.
I LOVE THAT RASCAL ALSO

Bonnie Raitt is a guitar goddess! I've been a fan 4ever, have loved every song, or should I say, experience Bonnie she lets the audience in on !! THANK YOU, MS RAITT 😊❤
The Bass growl intro...😮...sets the tone for a feisty,seductive song. Slide that thing Bonnie 😍
Kim Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds singing harmony. Can't beat that.

Bonnie Raitt's a babe. One in a million and a brilliant musician.
Nobody can make a glass slide talk like Bonnie 😎
That she is,no question about it! John Guinto
I will second that.
🙈🎯💯❤
Powerhouse singer too.
Happy 73rd, Bonnie! Still blowing the roof off everywhere she plays
Yup
I'm 75 and singing this at karaoke
We don't have to fade!!!!!😂😂😂🎉❤
ICON FOREVER Thank you very much GOD bless Everyone Always Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸
A couple of friends caught Bonnie at a concert recently! They said she was fantastic!
After five years off (being dropped by Warner Brother Records), Bonnie returned to recording with Capitol Records with this. Her first big hit.
Was 12 when it first came out. Gave it a chance because of Quaid, I had seen Dreamscape and Innerspace several times. Stayed for the music and never looked back.
Because they're friends and at the time he was a huge movie star and wanted to give her album a boost - and it worked. People watched for him and fell in love with her music.

@@LujackLvr Man,you don't need no doctor,when you got Bonnie !🤣
Bonnie is just smokin hot, a class act in every way. This song is so sensual.
That girl has paid her dues..
Wicked Slide ... with a Smile..
Put Stevie to shame..
Bonnie's Magic....love her slide playing....one of the best!
I forgot how amazing this entire album is....I used to play the CD non stop. Good stuff.
Drove Detroit to DC playing this CD
I had this as a tape cassette and wore it out!! I played it all the time. Amazing how the lyrics and melody come right back even after not hearing these songs for a while. She was one of my absolute favorites.
I've never forgotten, just in my many musical icon reserves.
Loved her since 70s😊
Me too!
@@sharoncole3774 Some days, I just do some cooking or whatever, and go from one old song to another, as I get reminded. So many great songs/artists from my younger days. :)
Unbelievable that someone this talented did not get there big break until the age of 40.
Because she is female.
Dennis Quaid was my major crush! He made my heart race! I saw him play with his band The Mystics in the 80’s! I almost fainted when he winked at me! Dang! And that smile....melting hearts!
A great song written by John Hiat,Bonnie delivers it Bonnie style!
I just don’t hear songs like hers in todays music… just gets deep in your bones!!!
Is a smirk even a smirk if Dennis Quaid isn't the one smirking it?
LMAO ... Good ONe
What a stud!
I wanna BE his toothpick!
I was backstage for Miss Raitt and James Taylor in Cincinnati. Miss Raitt was a total sweetheart and , unlike other artists, she came by and talked to myself and another guard.

Thanks RUclips for helping Promote Talented Artists.

It doesn't come from us, it comes from up above 💜💜💜💜💜
It comes from within
Saturday morning, 4:40 a.m......this fabulous lady's song is stuck in my head and I'm lovin' it!
The Queen of slide guitar. Awesome!
One of my generation’s best female performers. Gotta love Bonnie!!!
agree!!
One of any generation. In my humble...... She rocks, blues and country's right through my music loving soul. Did I mention, I love women. Lol
When were you born Donna?
i'll be 46 this year and still remember it like the day I first saw the video.
Correction she isn't just a performer, she writes her own lyrics and music.
@@mattylarson3969 This song is written by John Hiatt,a prolific song writer.
How can you not love this lady!!!
*Such* a good song! John Hiatt sure can write songs, and Bonnie is an amazing singer! And Dennis Quaid is just too good looking in this! I love the nod to Jerry Lee Lewis with the Sun Records t-shirt. He was playing Jerry Lee in "Great Balls of Fire" in the same timeframe as this.
Great tune, and watching Bonnie play that guitar, awesome!
Bonnie said in an interview that Dennis Quaid "was the cutest guy she could think of for the video" or something along those lines. This is one of the vids I keep coming back to over the years.
she's not wrong
😊 Nate what Missy CW
Tiffany
I love her......and this song that makes you sing along loudly and smile throughout and play over and over again......and of course!!! Dennis Quaid!!!
I remember this song and “Something to Talk About” being on the radio ALL the time. I loved it.
This song kicks such ass.
Good music doesn't die❤️❤️🔥!
Good Lord. Bonnie Raitt is a guitar goddess. And Young Cute Sassy DQ??? Yesssss
Seen her in concert, she sounds just as good live!
How does anyone NOT like this tune?!
Well, there is always a critic out there somewhere…..
Just people with no soul
Maybe they're not ready for love...
For all those young people who said who the hell is Bonnie Raitt, this is Bonnie Raitt! A great singer and musician!
I was actually googling her, cause I just found out that this album was number 1 on the billboard charts the week when I was born, and I had no idea who she was 😂Gotta say, not bad at all, I like that this was the number 1 album at the time 😂 (thank God it wasn't Milli Vanilli haha 🤪)
Their never know...
they have no class😂
Bonnie Raitt. One of the best, one of the legends.
I'm telling you Dennis Quaid is so cute in this video. That smile kills me every time
She has no equal or competition in the blues lady-guitarist/singer arena. Still awesome after all these years.
Must’ve never heard of Susan Tedeschi
She is top rung when it comes to slide guitar.
@@BBPalmer420 But Susan Tedeschi has heard of Bonnie Raitt!
@@nelsonhibbert5267 lol damn right! Love em both.. both powerhouses
I was gonna post the same thing.
Vibrato and Phrasing are just incredible. Nobody hangs a note out longer then gets there with that perfect vibrato and some extra strings ringing like Bonnie. Oh... And her voice is Golden. No woman or man like her in music. A true musician.
Wonderful voice. Miles of vocal range. With seemingly, no effort. A true talent.
Love this song. Bonnie is such an excellent performer!
Rita Holden saw her in person, she was spectacular, I think my then husband came!
This is a big bump. Hope it rolls, Lol.
I'm so, looking forward to seeing Bonnie, at The Britt Venue, in Jacksonville, Oregon. In August, 2022.
I'm still rocking it at 65. My new friend, after the death of both our spouses, is a willing and able partner in fun and games. Gabby and Morock, we do rock. Be there, kids, we're hard to miss at a venue of 3k or less. Lol.
This whole CD is great! I think it was the first one I bought by her. Gave one away, but got another. Woman sings real shit!
Every second of this video is perfectly edited, fun, energetic and flirty! I remember falling in love with Bonnie when this came out. What a talent! And a treasure trove of music to enjoy. Thank you for all of the incredible music Bonnie! :)
Bonnie Raitt is a incredibly talented woman with a incredible voice and when she sings a (LOVE) 💞💞💞 song it's like hearing your heart starting to beat for the first time with what it's meant to be in (love) 💖💖💖*
he dad was a HUGE country singer.. John Raitt. its in her genes.
Don't have to humble yourself to me
I ain't your judge or your king
Baby, you know I ain't no Queen of Sheba
We may not even have our dignity
This could be just a powerful thing
Baby we can choose you know we ain't no amoeba
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you
It comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine
Take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for the thing called love
I ain't some icon carved out of soap
Sent here to clean up your reputation
Baby, you know you ain't no Prince Charming
We can live in fear or act out of hope
For some kind of peaceful situation
Baby, how come the cry of love is so alarming
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you
It comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine
Take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for the thing called love
Ugly ducklings don't turn into swans
And glide off down the lake
Whether your sunglasses are off or on
You only see the world you make
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you
It comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine
Take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for it
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you
It comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine
Take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for it
Are you ready for love, baby
Ooh yeah babe
Are you ready for love
Oh yum! Dennis Quaid in the 90s! The whole entire reason I hit puberty! 😘🤣🤣🤣🥰😍
She really has a beautiful voice. Dennis is s really cute in this video. Check out Bonnie's dimples...so cute.
Love him😂❤
A very young Dennis Quaid there!! great song by Bonnie Raitt!
One of my all time favorite song, video and LYRICS! It's got it all..plus Dennis Quaid AND Jimmy Vaughan too?!! YIKES!
Love this,man she is awesome and can play her electric guitar, she's the best.oh my love this! Donna
Amazing cadence! Bonnie is a gem!
When this particular video was released VH1(when they were a little more offbeat) played the heck out of this video and helped her immensely in her comeback.
Oh yeah I loved Bonnie and her music as a kid, and I seem to remember most of her songs in heavy rotation in 1991 and 92.
Love this song
This lady is so sensual and beautiful and sings like an angel. She is also mega talented. I never listened to country until her. Thank you, Bonnie, you are my hardcore beautiful woman. I was first introduced to your talent in about 1977. You are definitely one of my favorite artists.
Fun song and a very young Dennis Quaid.
Dennis Quaid is such a legend. I love this guy!

She’s just amazing!👏🏼🎼🔥❤️🔥💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽🎶
We've heard of the king of rock and roll.
Well maybe Roy was the God of same.
The man was blessed with the greatest

of the greatest songs ever recorded!
Roy Orbison will never be forgotten!!

I love this album so much! Just the energy. I lost all of my music to a vindictive ex, but am slowly buying it back. xx
Many hours dancing around my place, for many years; this Lady ROCKS!!!
I seen her at Red Rocks many years ago and she was fabulous. Just fabulous and she rocked it ! 🌹
This woman is awesome in concert, caught her in bezerkly, wow, what a show!

Stevie Ray was awesome when he played with her. Miss him!
Damn this is still such a great song!
Hearing this song, Is like finding the source of love all over again.
respect the queen of cajun......all hail
Wow! What a fabulous rendition!
We should add that everyone should check our John Hiatt's original version.. Equally brilliant and great.
I believe in a thing called loved, just listen to the rhythm of my heart
such a fun song, so different than typical chord progression. and Bonnie, you melt my heart every time.
that's actually a john hyatt song, but she does it so well...like all of her stuff!
great cover. great little cameo by the late, great, lovely Steve Bruton who sometimes played w/Bonnie
Happy Birthday Ms Raitt!
Lewis just gets in the way!
This is my favourite of all her wonderful stuff.
They don't make talent like her in every way since mid 90's. we r now 2016.
Are you ready for it
Are you ready for love, baby
Oooh yeah babe
Are you ready for love "
Bonnie is fantastic ..what a voice.. great memories with this song :)

I bought this album....CD back when it was released
Sultry! Gotta love a chic that can play a guitar like that! ;-)
