Marin County music legend Bonnie Raitt triumphs for song of the year with “Just Like That,” which was inspired by the late-great John Prine.
Bonnie Raitt shocked the music world — and certainly herself — by winning the song of the year trophy at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night in Los Angeles.
And nobody seemed more surprised about the victory than Raitt — who was presumed to be a massive underdog going into the night. Her expression conveyed absolute disbelief when she heard the presenter of the award — First Lady Jill Biden — announce her name inside Crypto.com Arena. She then thanked the Recording Academy — the organization that presents the Grammys — for surrounding her “with so much support and appreciating the art of songwriting as I do.”
Winning this award may change the perception that some have of Raitt, who many think of first and foremost as an interpreter of other people’s songs rather than someone who sings her own compositions.
