During the 1970s, Raitt released a series of roots-influenced albums which incorporated elements of blues, rock, folk and country.

The following two albums ''Luck of the Draw'' (1991) and ''Longing in Their Hearts'' (1994) were also multi-million sellers generating several hit singles, including "Something to Talk About", "Love Sneakin' Up on You", and the ballad "I Can't Make You Love Me" (with Bruce Hornsby on piano). Raitt has received 10 Grammy Awards. She is listed as number 50 in ''Rolling Stone'' magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time and number 89 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.

''O, The Oprah Magazine'', v.3, no.7, July 2002, pp.47–48."〕 She began playing guitar at an early age. Later she gained notice for her bottleneck-style guitar playing. Raitt says she played "a little at school and at (summer ) camp" called Camp Regis-Applejack in New York.
After graduating from Oakwood Friends School in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1967 Raitt entered Radcliffe College majoring in social relations and African Studies. Raitt said her "plan was to travel to Tanzania, where President Julius Nyerere was creating a government based on democracy and socialism".〔 Raitt became friends with blues promoter Dick Waterman.〔 During her second year Raitt took a semester off and moved to Philadelphia with Waterman and a number of local musicians. Raitt says it was an "opportunity that changed everything."〔
