Albums:
Karla Bonoff - released late 70s. Just when Carole King was on the wane, up popped Karla. Never a particularly strong lyricist, Karla had the chops when it came to melodies. "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me", "Lose Again", etc. A classy debut. A great album.
Karla continues performing, writing, and releasing new albums today.
