小簡介
歌手/作曲家karla bonoff生長在洛杉磯。
by William RuhlmannSinger/songwriter Karla Bonoff grew up in Los Angeles and briefly attended UCLA. Emerging from the Monday night hootenanny scene at the Troubadour nightclub, she was a member of Bryndle, a folk-rock group also featuring Wendy Waldman, Andrew Gold, and Kenny Edwards, that formed in 1969, signed to A&M, and cut an album that was never released. Edwards, a former member of the Stone Poneys (a band featuring Linda Ronstadt), and Gold were later part of Ronstadts backing band, and they brought Bonoff to her attention. Ronstadt recorded three of Bonoffs songs on her 1976 album, Hasten Down the Wind, leading to a recording contract for Bonoff and the release of three albums on Columbia Records, the last of which, Wild Heart of the Young (1982), featured the Top 40 hit Personally. Bonoff worked on movie soundtracks during the 80s, notably on Footloose (1984) and About Last Night (1986). She released her fourth album, New World, in 1988.
