Bonnie Raitt on being honored at Kennedy Center for 50 years of musical excellence
CBSN
Bonnie Raitt's 1989 hit "Thing Called Love" is just one of the many highlights from her 50-year career. This year, the 13-time Grammy Award winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and one of Rolling Stone's greatest singers and guitar players of all time, added another accolade to her already impressive resume: Kennedy Center honoree.
Reflecting on the honor, Raitt said, "It's unreal to me that I'm gonna be up in that balcony … my friends will be saying all that nice stuff and singing my songs. I wasn't expecting it. And I'm just tickled beyond words."
Raitt's songs have provided a sentimental soundtrack for many, with hits like "I Can't Make You Love Me" cementing her place in music history.
