In 1989, Linda Ronstadt included three of Bonoff's compositions on her Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind album and one, "All My Life", won a Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.[2] In 1993, Wynonna Judd scored a Country hit with Bonoff's "Tell Me Why" on which Bonoff played guitar and sang backing vocals.[2]
