Emerging from the Monday night hootenanny scene at the Troubadour nightclub, she was a member of <a href="spotify:artist:7a0TP0XHZ6r504CVNxOcfJ">Bryndle</a>, a folk-rock group also featuring <a href="spotify:artist:7AzQ1gkIemfDdV8sze29zf">Wendy Waldman</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5fmvGUlMVgmnCn45f1he7d">Andrew Gold</a>, and Kenny Edwards, that formed in 1969, signed to A&M, and cut an album that was never released. Edwards, a former member of <a href="spotify:artist:2X9nnux4eS3CFBDSjcnoBQ">the Stone Poneys</a> (a band featuring <a href="spotify:artist:1sXbwvCQLGZnaH0Jp2HTVc">Linda Ronstadt</a>), and <a href="spotify:artist:5fmvGUlMVgmnCn45f1he7d">Gold</a> were later part of <a href="spotify:artist:1sXbwvCQLGZnaH0Jp2HTVc">Ronstadt</a>'s backing band, and they brought Bonoff to her attention. <a href="spotify:artist:1sXbwvCQLGZnaH0Jp2HTVc">Ronstadt</a> recorded three of Bonoff's 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. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
