This song has been one of my favorites for such a long long time. I think in some way, shape or form - whether as the person singing or the one being sung to - we've all been there at one point in our lives, or at least know someone who has been there. I can't believe it took me this long to actually find the music!!! Anyways, it's a bit shaky b/c of my cold (not a disclaimer, only a statement), but I just couldn't wait to play it. Thanks for stopping by. XOXO EM

Sam Harris, in the recording studio, working on one of the tracks for his new album entitled "Free".
This song is especially emotional to Sam, and hard for him to get through, so he insisted that what you hear (and see) is what you get the first time around. Therefore, what you are hearing here is the actual recording you will hear from the album. Does not get anymore raw than this!

Lyrics:
I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
turn down these voices inside my head.
Lay down with me, tell me no lies.
Just hold me close, don't patronize
-- don't patronize me.
I can't make you love me, if you don't.
You can't make your heart feel something it won't.
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours,
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power.
But you won't, no you won't,
cause I can't make you love me, if you don't.
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
the love you dont feel when youre holding me.
Morning will come, and I'll do what's right.
Just give me till then to give up this fight,
and I will give up this fight.
I can't make you love me, if you don't.
You can't make your heart feel something it won't.
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours,
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power.
But you won't, no you won't,
cause I can't make you love me, if you don't.
--------------------------------------
"I Can't Make You Love Me" is a 1991 popular song, written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin and recorded by Bonnie Raitt on her Luck of the Draw album from that year. In August 2000, Mojo magazine voted "I Can't Make You Love Me" #8 on its The 100 Greatest Songs Of All Time list.
The idea for the song came to Reid while reading an article about a man arrested for getting drunk and shooting at his girlfriend's car. The judge asked him if he had learned anything, to which he replied, "I learned, Your Honor, that you can't make a woman love you if she don't." Reid and Shamblin were both country music songwriters, who according to some accounts originally wrote the song as a fast, bluegrass number. Upon slowing down the tempo considerably, they realized the song gained considerable power. It then made its way to Raitt.
A pensive ballad, "I Can't Make You Love Me" was recorded against a quiet electric piano-based arrangement, with prominent piano fills and interpolations supplied by Bruce Hornsby. The singer depicts a now one-sided romantic relationship about to end in soft but brutally honest terms.
Raitt recorded the vocal in just one take in the studio, later saying that it was so sad a song that she couldn't recapture the emotion: "We'd try to do it again and I just said, 'You know, this ain't going to happen.'"
The song was a big hit for Raitt, reaching #18 on the U.S. pop singles chart and #6 on the Adult Contemporary chart, and helped solidify her remarkable late-in-career commercial success that had begun two years before. In the time since, "I Can't Make You Love Me" has gone on to become a pop standard and a mainstay of adult contemporary radio formats.
While Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" was not a big success in the United Kingdom, as part of George Michael's 1997 double a-side single "Older / I Can't Make You Love Me", it reached the Top 3 of the UK Singles Chart. It has also been recorded by a number of other artists, including Prince, Bonnie Tyler, Kenny Rogers, Kimberley Locke and Gina G to name a few. Saxophonist Candy Dulfer has also recorded an instrumental version. A version by the band Venice was featured over the end credits of the controversial film Boxing Helena.
It has become a popular selection for contestants in televised singing competitions such as American Idol, Nashville Star, and Rock Star: INXS.

I know there are a ton of videos of LP have been made to this song but I figured I would do it again. Mine basically takes LP moments from the first three seasons and mirrors them against moments in S4 (and a couple from S5 towards the end). It is pretty self-explanatory.

I KNOW IT'S RAY CHARLES SINGING IN THE BEGINNING. PLEASE DON'T POINT IT OUT! IT'S TITLED THE WAY IT IS BECAUSE OF THE LIVE PERFORMERS.
Bonnie Raitt and Billy Preston duet of "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind". Part of a short tribute to Ray Charles. Powerful display of both of their amazing talents. There are too few videos of Billy Preston really digging into the organ, and make no mistake, he was one of the greatest at it. No one made the Hammond "speak" as much as he did. And Bonnie Raitt is still one of the best, bluesy singers around. Both of them have lost absolutely nothing through all the decades. RIP Ray Charles and Billy Preston.

1990) Bonnie Raitt - one of the most critically admired yet commercially ignored white R&B singers in the history of popular music, Bonnie Raitt only achieved the success and respect she had so obviously deserved with her tenth album, almost 20 years after her recording debut. The daugher of Broadway star John Raitt (of Carousel and The Pajama Game fame), Bonnie Raitt (born 1949) was first captivated by the blues and began learning guitar at the age of 12.
After dropping out of college in 1969, she began playing on the US folk and blues circuit, turning heads due to her ability - almost unique in a white female - to play credible bottleneck guitar. She became friendly with many of the surviving blues legends, including Howlin' Wolf, Mississippi Fred McDowell and particularly Sippie Wallace, with whom she later recorded.
After paying her dues in clubs, she signed with a major record label in 1971,when she released her eponymous debut album which included both contemporary songs by Stephen Stills and Paul Siebel and a number of blues covers, plus two selfpenned originals. Backed largely by R&B musicians who normally worked with producer Willie Murphy, Raitt was somewhat sold short by the album. as became clear with the release of 1972's greatly improved "Give it up" album, which made the US chart and featured mainly white rock players and superb songs written by under-appreciated songwriters like Eric Kaz and Jackson Browne, plus three originals and several R&B covers.
She went on to release seven more albums ("Takin' my Time" (1973),"Streetlights" (1974), "Home Plate" (1975), "Sweet Forgiveness" (1977), "The Glow" (1979), "Green Light"(1982) and "Nine Lives" ( 1986) ). 1989's "Nick of Time" found Raitt on a different record label after 18 years with one company, and with production by Don Was, Raitt finally found herself receiving the commercial rewards (and Grammy Awards) her mainly excellent body of work had always deserved.
1990 saw her winning another Grammy awards for her work on John Lee Hooker's "The Healer" album, which was to some extent a return to the roots for two truly great artists from different generations. Chart positions are largely irrelivant in Bonnie Raitt's case, but anyone who enjoys great music is missing something should they decide to ignore this supremely tasteful andutterly sincere artist.

Nobody else could make me happy
No one could hurt me like you do
You were the only one zhat mattered
Then you were gone...Love had moved on
Left me alone thinking of...
You...There was never any other
You...and I were created to be true.
Isn't it Love that keeps us breathing
Isn't it love we're sent here for
Wasn't that love that we were feeling
(That was something baby)
Deep in our soul...Deeper than we know
Keeping me holding out for
You...There was never any question
You'll be forever on my mind.
You and I, we were meant to be together
True hearts in a world where love is dyin'.
And I might as well have been dyin' when
We were apart.
When you came back I felt the beating of my heart.
You...There was never any question
You'll be forever on my mind.
You and I were meant to be together
You...
You...
You...
You...
You...

This is me playing on my Jean-Baptiste Tenor Saxophone, with a friend of mine, KMausi90. My friend asked to feature with her, and make it her video, but, she somehow gave it to me. I appreciate that, and want to thank her for the collaboration that she actually offered to do with me. The echo was added, and I hope the sax wasn't too loud.
So, enjoy, and tell me (or KMausi90) what you think of the song!
INFO: This song is available in WMA (and soon in mp3)! There's a version with KMausi90, and one with Bonnie Raitt. Message me if you want it!

Originally sung by: Bonnie Raitt

its one of the most sad AND beautiful songs ever written (my opinion, of course)...I've always loved this tune but it wasn't 'till I attended a "writers' night" in nashville years back when I saw Allen Shamblin (one of the writers) sing this tune with just him and the guitar that I found a greater respect for this song... :)
this is my rendition...hope you dig...

I always thought of "All At Once" as a diamond that was carefully tucked away on "Luck of the Draw." As the last cut on the CD, the song does a great job of pulling you back in to the moment, the present. I always knew it was the very last song on the album from day one and that's not something you can say about a lot of albums that you might lose interest in long before the last cut is played. "All At Once" is one of those songs that I find myself actually "listening" to -- as if Bonnie Raitt were sitting next to me telling me a secret that I'm also involved in. And, I always wondered if others felt the same way too?

Covering one of the best love songs ever written. I'm talking about Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me".
This song is one of a few songs that made me get through the tough times I had trying to get over a broken heart about 8 months ago. I kept listening to Bonnie Raitt and George Michael's versions over and over again.
Oh wow, it felt really weird playing this song now because it still reminds me of her.....the one that I had.....the one that I truly loved and still love, but "I Can't Make You Love Me", can I?
Oh well, hope you dudes and dudettes like it :)
Peace, love and good tunes
