Bonnie Lynn Raitt born November 8, 1949, is an American blues singer, guitarist, songwriter, and activist. Raitt was born in Burbank California, the daughter of the Broadway musical star John Raitt and Majorie Haydock a successful pianist. Bonnie’s family is of Scottish descent, her ancestors constructed Rait Castle and she was raised in the Quaker tradition. During her second year of attending Radcliffe College, majoring in Social Relations and African studies Raitt became friends with blues promoter Dick Waterman and left school to move to Philadelphia, an opportunity Raitt says changed everything.
In 1971 she played with her brother David on stand up bass with Mississippi Fred McDowell at the Philly Folk Festival as well as opening for John Hammond at the Gaslight Cafe in New York where she was seen by a reporter from Newsweek, who spread the word about her performance which led to interest from major record companies paying attention and watching her shows. Soon after she accepted an offer and signed with Warner Bros. and released her self titled debut album, Bonnie Raitt in 1971.
