Katie Melua - I will be there! Many others by Katie, but I selected this one about moms - the video, orchestra, and voice are all amazing! This is an amazing thread - wonderful.

And no Bonnie Raitt yet either..... There are several more well known and popular, but I love this duet with Ray Charles. It's really solid with feeling! There is another version out there with some video, but could not find it now....

And no Bonnie Raitt yet either

It's a long thread, too long to go looking thru the whole thing, but I'm almost positive there have been a couple songs from her somewhere already.
