I've always loved Karla Bonoff. Her magnificent Angelic voice is an extension of her beautiful soul. So genuine and sincere and always the best at delivering her own songs. And her songs are among the best that have ever been written.
LOVE ❤ THIS SONG❗ SO HAPPY TO FINALLY BE ABLE TO SEE AND HEAR HER PERFORMING IT HERE IN CZcams 🎶 AND I DO BELIEVE THIS IS FROM HER AMERICAN BANDSTAND PERFORMANCE 👏 😁 WOW WHAT A TREAT 🥰 THANK YOU SO MUCH BRANDON HIXSON
I always thought this song was done by Rita Coolidge up till last week. Wow who knew Karla Bonoff. I really like this song. She has a beautiful voice. Very upbeat, fun tune.
Gorgeous voice-----------------gorgeous lady---------------i saw her 2 times in the 70's, & was totally in love with her. Yes, we WERE young once upon a time.-----------------------------Wolfsky9, 74 y/o
omgosh... i totally forgotten about her.. how time flies.. n i am nearing my 60s.. i remember a few songs that were very memorable like ms bornoff *Personally and Please Be The One* absolute gems
What a GREAT song! Terrific lyrics. Powerhouse delivery. Outstanding backing band -- especially that heartfelt saxophone solo from Phil Kenzie starting at 2:15. Check out his website and see the surprising number and range of contributions he made to some of the absolute best songs of the 70s. One might say he was the David Sanborn of that decade. This song will never grow old. Your grandchildren will love it.
On this day in 1982 {May 8th} Karla Bonoff performed "Personally" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program 'American Bandstand'... And on May 23rd, 1982 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #45; fourteen weeks later it would peak at #19 {for 2 weeks} and it spent 18 weeks on the Top 100... On June 27th it peaked at #3 {for 3 weeks} on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart and spent almost a half-year on the chart {24 weeks}... On the same 'Bandstand' show she also performed her next release, "Please Be the One", and it reached #63 on the Top 100... Ms. Bonoff will celebrate her 66th birthday this coming December 27th {2017}... Note: This is just a guess, but this video certainly has that 'Bandstand' feel...
Long before E-mail. I seldom like a song the first time I hear it. I saw her performing this song on the Johnny Carson show and bought the single the next day.
Being Asian-Indian of the Tamil kind and living in Atlanta, the only place to see Tamil movies on a Saturday was at the Emory University student center with them projectors. On the way there particularly in '82, this song seemed to be on whenever the parents decided not to use the tape deck for south Indian music. The female students who were there looked like her but didn't have that swag. But the waitresses and working ones in Toco Hills and Clifton Road had it down. For this then 10 year old just a smile and a wave was good enough then.
Karla formed the group "Bryndle" with two of the musicians on this video, guitarist Andrew Gold (who personally had hits "Lonely Boy" and the theme to "Golden Girls" called "Thank You For Being A Friend", bassist Kenny Edwards (a founding member of "The Stone Ponies," with whom Ronstadt came to notoriety), and friend Wendy Waldman. They had a great sound, but never made it into the mainstream. See Andrew and Kenny backing Ronstadt on "When Will I Be Loved" on the "Midnight Special" here: czcams.com/video/rztAvYAxlVE/video.html They backed a young Jennifer Warnes singing "Right Time Of The Night" here: czcams.com/video/28dnOMphz30/video.html So wish they could have received the exposure they deserved. Look for Bryndle songs on CZcams.
Love this song then and still do. Tho, today, she'd have more choices to send 'it' using email, text, voicemail, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Messenger.... Even fax is almost a gonner.

GREAT SONG.....GREAT SONGWRITER AND SINGER.....AND WHERE IN THE HECK DID THE LAST 42 YEARS GO????
One of the greatest songwriters of all time...... people forget all the hits she's wrote.
Excuse you Mr. Paul Kelly wrote this song!
@@tyardovdabulldht2340 Ironic that her only top 40 hit was one she didn't write.
Great song , loved it then and still today! Thanks Karla, wow wow.

Timeless classic. The vocal is superb and the song never gets old. Looking forward to seeing Karla live in Clearwater, FL next month.
You first see her and you think mmm OK! But the you hear her and you think "That's the prettiest girl the world"
Just remember that true beauty comes from the inside and radiates out. Everyone is beautiful in their own way.
I always thought this song was done by Rita Coolidge up till last week. Wow who knew Karla Bonoff. I really like this song. She has a beautiful voice. Very upbeat, fun tune.

MY FAVORITE SONG OF NOVEMBER 2014
Long before E-mail. I seldom like a song the first time I hear it. I saw her performing this song on the Johnny Carson show and bought the single the next day.
always thought it was strange that such a gifted songwriter had her only hit with a cover.
my god she was hot!
Total quiet sexiness!

I actually prefer her voice to Linda's. Karla could write her own songs, play instruments, and clearly mimed pretty well too! :)
She didnt write this song
Karla-------------what a voice------------you were such a beauty ! ---------------Not fair. --------------------------WolfSky9, 74 y/o
What exactly could she give him that the mailman couldn't deliver?

Thank you, Richard Brown, for taking the time to copy these links for us. Really kind of you to do for us faceless fellow fans.
Love this song then and still do. Tho, today, she'd have more choices to send 'it' using email, text, voicemail, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Messenger.... Even fax is almost a gonner.
Karla is a great songwriter but did not write this song which was her big hit as an artist.
I wonder if she is still married to Actor Robby Benson? Great voice.
Matthew Stevens He’s married to actress Karla DeVito.
Ese bajo me suena al de Queen en these are the days of our lives (1991).
Her "Hit" yet she didn't write it.Writer of many great songs though.
Bass player looks like Don Grolnik?
