Biography:
Bonnie Raitt, (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues and R&B singer, songwriter, and guitarist who was born in Burbank, California, the daughter of Broadway musical star John Raitt.
Raitt began playing guitar at an early age, something not a lot of her high school girlfriends did. "I had played a little at school and at camp," she later recalled in a July 2002 interview. "My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby—nothing more.

This is What Is Success from her 1974 album
Streetlights by Bonnie Raitt. Words and music by
Allen Toussaint.
Intro: F7 Bb Ab F7 Bb Ab
(F7) How...... (Bb) (Ab) does A (F7) one decide (Bb)
(Ab) that the (F7) methods he's using (Bb) (Ab) they
(F7) just won't jive. (Bb) (Ab) (Eb) truly believe
(Bb) and (Eb) trying over (Bb) and over again (F7)
(Bb) (Ab) (Eb) livin in (Bb) hopes, (Eb) that some
(Bb) day he'll be in (C7)with the winners?
When...should one change his mind and jump the fence,
for the dollar sign? It's a sad thing, it's a bad
thing but so necessary. That this cold world forced
your values to become monetary. (C7) (F) (C7)
CHORUS: (F7) Hmmmmm........ (Bb) (Ab)
(F7) Tell me what I need is (Bb) success (Ab)
Is it do your own thing, or to join the rest? Or
should you truly believe or keep trying over and over
again? Livin in hopes that someday you'll be the
winners.
F7: 131211

Ab: 466544
Eb: x68886 or x 65343
