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 and Bruce Hornsby have for years helped the less fortunate Blues musicians in the Deep South that many popular artists copied their music. They’ve fallen on hard times, but Bonnie and Bruce led efforts to help them financially when others did nothing. She’s a true humanitarian
@TheBonnieRaittFanInbox "How long have you been a fan.." Don't actually know how long it's been.. But _it was_ in the nick of time.. 😊 Wife and I both 74+ life-long musicians.. home rec, sound stuff etc.. Saw you out on the river near Sacramento way back. Part way into the set, you finally stopped, said along the lines of 'Guys -looking at _them!_ 'you know I really want to enjoy my music too.' Trust me folks. That crew'.. got a bunch* of heads turned back their way. * 'tech term.. :>)
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 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.
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 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 remember being a very young girl ans thinking Dennis Quaid was so handsome, he's still a looker even today.i thought the song was "let's give em something to talk about"...but it was this I'm blaring on a Saturday morning. Good morning from 39 year old Kristine in michigan. What has happened to young men? They are definately after our children that's for sure.
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.
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 🤪)
2025 now. But I always come back to this video because of Dennis. That sly grim. All I can say is holy guacamole! Someone better turn on a fan or something - it's getting just a tad bit warm in here! 🔥
And speaking of Bonnie's guitar skills, my absolute FAVORITE of hers is "Love Me Like A Man" on the Road Tested double CD. OMG! I could (and probably have) listened to that all day and night. The entire double CD rocks, but the absolute best is her and the solo on Love Me Like A Man. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
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!
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.
Hello there, I take my time sometimes to read the lovely comments from my friends and fans but this particular comments take it all I feel loved thank you!! You deserve the best from your fav I have a top fan club, it’s the closest platform to me I know having you will be the best thing ❤ but I can’t leave you my information here but the handle here is actually my gmail address I hope you figure it out do well to send me an email hope to hear from you soon ❤
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. 😁
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
I loved that song too. I was running a bar in Atlanta. I was married at the time when that song was popular. I was becoming good friends with a cute bartender that worked for me. I tried my best not to take it any further. She asked me to drive her home after work. I did. She made her move. I said No. I got a divorce a few years later. One of the dumbest things I ever did!!! Actually I am proud of myself.
Flawless. It doesn't get any better. She's easily one of my favorite guitarists, and she has a great voice, great stage presence and...amazing dimples!
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 😊❤
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.
the really cool thing about this video, the pretty girl with the long hair is my first cousin Jackie Old Coyote. this is only one of her many appearances.
Maybe not but I gotta give props to Tracey Chapman who can pull on them guitar strings her own self. But there is something to be said for the sexiness of a woman and a guitar. It's like amazing to watch!
*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.
I know where Dennis got those wing tips. He got them from his brother Randy. AKA, "Eddie" He bought them the same day he bought Clark the white shoes he gave to him as a present on the original vacation movie. He got a two for one deal.
Wow Mr. D,, you're right about what you told me!!! I Love Dennis and Randy Quaid,, I always have... Great Actor's and I know you dig Bonnie's music...🎵 Let's give them something to talk about🎵
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.

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

Bonnies strong but sheepish grin and Quaids boyish moves, couldnt ask for more flirtiness
Brings back fun times and romance.😮
I don’t know how Bonnie was able to concentrate enough to play with Dennis sitting there! 😍😍😍
I know right ! 😂 You can see it in her face and his. They are flirting. 😊Its cute..
She is the ultimate professional.
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.

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!!!!!😂😂😂🎉❤
2024 calling here 🤟😎 when this album càme out it was an instant hit with my whole family. Bonnie can Rock.😎👍
Oh yum! Dennis Quaid in the 90s! The whole entire reason I hit puberty! 😘🤣🤣🤣🥰😍
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!

Kim Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds singing harmony. Can't beat that.
Hello lovely no doubt you are a fan of mine, where are you From?😊
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.
💬More to come 👏👏👏🤩💯❗ G~G.
Unbelievable that someone this talented did not get there big break until the age of 40.
Because she is female.
Blame it on the alcohol
"Their" big break happened when she first started much earlier; we loved her then and now.
I'm telling you Dennis Quaid is so cute in this video. That smile kills me every time
A very young Dennis Quaid there!! great song by Bonnie Raitt!
she was and still fantastic. she plays the way she looks, beautiful.
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.
I was 16 years old in 1989 when I first saw this video. I instantly dug it and had an immediate crush on Bonnie.
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.
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.
A great song written by John Hiat,Bonnie delivers it Bonnie style!
She does a nice job, but I sure love Johns version better
Bonnie's Magic....love her slide playing....one of the best!
Fun song and a very young Dennis Quaid.
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😂
@@shirleyluke-me5mw "Their"?
I just don’t hear songs like hers in todays music… just gets deep in your bones!!!
Thank you ❤
Who else is listening to this awesome song in 2024? Her guitar skills are top tier!!! Gotta love Bonnie ❤❤
2025 now. But I always come back to this video because of Dennis. That sly grim. All I can say is holy guacamole! Someone better turn on a fan or something - it's getting just a tad bit warm in here! 🔥

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...
Bonnie Raitt - GODESS OF THE SLIDE !!! She has no equal !!
As far as female blues guitarist, she has no equal esp on the slide
After five years off (being dropped by Warner Brother Records), Bonnie returned to recording with Capitol Records with this. Her first big hit.
It doesn't come from us, it comes from up above 💜💜💜💜💜
It comes from within
WHAT A SMILE!! WHAT A WOMAN! JUST WOW!! THANK F$%^ FOR FILM SO I CAN WATCH THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN
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!
Don't know how she kept her compose with him there jeez
Hello Terri.. how are you doing?
Me neither
Bonnie Raitt. One of the best, one of the legends.
This song kicks such ass.
A couple of friends caught Bonnie at a concert recently! They said she was fantastic!
Gah, Dennis Quaid. That mouth, his smile, those lips...🔥🔥
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.

Dennis Quaid is essential to life.

Ob country Rock blues oder lovesongs bonnie t kann alles ❤
The Queen of slide guitar. Awesome!
Please remove "slide" to make it more accurate

She was gorgeous. Where else did she appear?
@@psgary6622 Try IMDB. Maybe there's something there.
Really?.....wow!. She was a hottie!.
She is such a pretty young lady!
She was in the film War Party. You can see the entire film on RUclips for free.
ruclips.net/video/hVPsyugobr0/видео.html
That chemistry was off the charts!
The Bass growl intro...😮...sets the tone for a feisty,seductive song. Slide that thing Bonnie 😍
We never slept together jeez.
Hearing this song, Is like finding the source of love all over again.
One of my all time favorite song, video and LYRICS! It's got it all..plus Dennis Quaid AND Jimmy Vaughan too?!! YIKES!
ICON FOREVER Thank you very much GOD bless Everyone Always Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸
Is that a super young fine Dennis Quaid at the bar?
That girl doesn't take a back seat to nobody when it comes to playing a guitar!
Maybe not but I gotta give props to Tracey Chapman who can pull on them guitar strings her own self. But there is something to be said for the sexiness of a woman and a guitar. It's like amazing to watch!

Dennis Quaid was a trip. Love the expressions.
He looked like River Phoenix in this one
She’s one badass lady!
woo-HOO, Mach 2! 💞💞
My favorite country singer
*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.
Sultry! Gotta love a chic that can play a guitar like that! ;-)
Robert Falk absolutely ❤
It sure does get your blood to boil!😊
Check out Orianthi & Samantha Fish.
...then check out Joyce Cooling. She's as pretty as her guitar playing
Yehaw , Cowboy 🤠
Good Lord. Bonnie Raitt is a guitar goddess. And Young Cute Sassy DQ??? Yesssss
I know where Dennis got those wing tips. He got them from his brother Randy. AKA, "Eddie" He bought them the same day he bought Clark the white shoes he gave to him as a present on the original vacation movie. He got a two for one deal.
Hahahaha yes
@Bonnie Raitt Bonnie...while it's great that you're doing all of that...why did you decide to respond to this comment? Just curious
@Bonnie Raitt lol ok 'bonnie'
Wow Mr. D,, you're right about what you told me!!! I Love Dennis and Randy Quaid,, I always have... Great Actor's and I know you dig Bonnie's music...🎵 Let's give them something to talk about🎵
Hi Bonnie Raitt🖐
Dennis Quaid's direction for this video: Smile. A lot.
Dennis just vamping for the camera. I love it.
Great tune, and watching Bonnie play that guitar, awesome!
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!
She really has a beautiful voice. Dennis is s really cute in this video. Check out Bonnie's dimples...so cute.
BONNIE RAITT ❤✌️😁😘❤️💯🤟😎
Hey Taylor... this is how it is suppose to be done!
Bonnie is a dream. So lovely and talented thanks Bonnie
Forgot how handsome Dennis Quaid was

Happy Birthday Ms Raitt!
Thank you lovely!!! I’m honored
How about I add you to my top fan club platform ?
Love begins from above!🙂
Damn this is still such a great song!
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
Amazing cadence! Bonnie is a gem!
Dont forget that John Hiatt wrote this gem!
That girl has paid her dues..
Wicked Slide ... with a Smile..
Put Stevie to shame..
I've been listening to her music since 1973. She's phenomenal.
