"All My Life" is a hit song written by Karla Bonoff and originally performed by Bonoff on her album New World (1988).
The following year, Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville performed the song as a duet on Ronstadt's triple platinum-certified album Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind (1989); this was the second global hit from Ronstadt and Neville.
The song was released as a single in early 1990 and hit number 1 on the Billboard Adult contemporary chart (where it held for three weeks) as well as number 11 on both the Cash Box Top 100 and the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[1] It was another international hit for the duo. It reached #10 in Canada and Ireland.[2]
- Due to radio airplay, the song was already in the Top 10 of Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart (which monitors airplay only).
"All My Life" won the award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 1991 Grammy Awards.
