Written/composed by Linda and Richard Thompson.
Until you've heard Bonnie Raitt's rendition of this ballad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt34u2SlO6I, you ain't heard no singin'. Raitt's interpretation of this oft-interpreted song is perfection. Back when I was a "sanger," I remember coaches saying "you'll know when a song is 'yours':" Streisand's "People," Garland's "Over the Rainbow," Peggy Lee's "Fever." This song belongs to Bonnie Raitt
I know her fans think she hung the moon, but I'd go farther and say she's arguably the overall best female vocalist (non-classical) of modern times, perhaps since Rosemary Clooney shot her wad.
