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.
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.
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!
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 RU-vid for helping Promote Talented Artists. ❤ 😂 ❤ 😅
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 😊❤
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.
@@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. :)
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 🤪)
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.
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 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. 😁
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
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!
*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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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! :)
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.
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) 💖💖💖*
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.
Re: David Maloon: Obviously, Bonnie Raitt cares enough to represent Natives in her music video which happens to be an important part of music and art. It just so happens that Bonnie is a strong supporter of women and native rights. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
Griffy Es, If that's true, then why in the hell are you reading the comments? People who come to listen don't give a shit what people say. I came here because I used to perform this tune ages ago and had forgotten it most of the tune. Then, I was curious if commenters had anything to say, regarding Bonnie's musical history. If not for those reasons I would have never seen your asinine reply to Kristina. You probably never saw the comment she was referring to, due to the way youtube distributes what's visible to each customer these days. Next time just listen to the music and don't treat people you have never seen or known, like shit!
its not about representing Natives or any of that bullshit, just her music and the composition. Go find another crap cause to follow . Bonnie Raite sings,,,,,,,,,,,,,, got it? its not all that complicated.
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!
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.
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🎵
i love this song and i love Bonnie and Dennis. Dennis shares my born day & hes so handsome in this video. thank you for this & stay safe in covid19-20. 11-2-20 i dont think that hes ready for the thang called love bc we aint together yet.
