Karla Bonhoff


Born December 27, 1952, Los Angeles, California.  Karla Bonoff has always been better know as a songwriter than as a performer (Linda Ronstadt recorded several of her songs).  This is extremely unfortunate, because she has a beautiful expressive voice and is competent on both piano and guitar (I know, having seen her perform in Knoxville, Tennessee in the late '70s).

Solo Albums:
  1. "Karla Bonoff" (1977) - Wonderful debut solo album with no weak cuts.
  2. "Restless Nights" (1979)
  3. "Wild Heart of the Young" (1981) - Single: "Personally"
  4. "New World" (1988)

Compilations:
  1. "Premium Best" (1998) - Japanese import
  2. "All My Life: The Best of Karla Bonoff" (1999) - as expected, nice collection of beautiful music (except for the omission of "Trouble Again")...they should have made this 2-CDs.
