In 1991 Bonnie Raitt released the song "I Can't Make You Love Me" on her Luck of the Draw album. Raitt always picks the best songs to record, and this one—written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin—is one of the very best. It was listed as #8 on a Mojo magazine list of The 100 Greatest Songs Of All Time list, and is #331 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. There have been a number of covers of the song in the last 20 years. In the last year both Adele and Justin Vernon have had very successful covers of the song. Here are videos of a couple versions.
Bonnie Raitt performs the song in 2011. What I like about this clip is that at the beginning you can here several people talking, but just a little into the song you can tell that the entire audience has become silent.
Adele
Justin Vernon form Bon Iver. This version includes part of another Bonnie Raitt song, "Nick of Time"
