Papa Come Quick (Jody and Chico) - Bonnie Raitt - MP3 instrumental karaoke

In 1989, legendary blues-rock singer and guitarist Bonnie Raitt released her tenth album, Nick of Time. The album was a commercial and critical success, and considered a comeback for Bonnie Raitt after a period of personal and commercial turmoil. Inspired by the album's success, the singer felt energized to work on a new collection of songs right away. The result was her 1991 album Luck of the Draw, which was even more successful than its predecessor. One of the album's highlights was "Papa Come Quick (Jody and Chico)," a narrative-driven song about a young woman named Jody who runs away to East Los Angeles with her boyfriend Chico. The song's protagonist (Jody's sister) then pleads for her father to go get her and bring her back. Written by Billy Vera, Chip Taylor, and Richard Hirsch, and produced by Bonnie Raitt with Don Was, "Papa Come Quick (Jody and Chico)" features a sparse acoustic arrangement, showcasing the singer's powerful vocal range.
