"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.
