Bonafide is the debut album by Jon B.. It was released on May 23, 1995 on the Epic Records subsidiary 550 Music. The album was the first recording released on Tracey Edmonds' record label Yab Yum Records, which 550 Music distributed.
It includes the Grammy-nominated first single " Someone to Love" featuring Babyface. The song was originally featured on the soundtrack to the 1995 Will Smith and Martin Lawrence action-comedy Bad Boys. Also included is the second single " Pretty Girl" and the final single "Isn't It Scary".
Bonafide was a favorite of rapper Tupac Shakur. The two met each other by way of a mutual friend on the set of Shakur's video " How Do U Want It", which prompted them to work together. The end result was the collaboration " Are U Still Down", which appeared on Jon's following album Cool Relax.
The album was certified platinum.
Bonafide is the fifth studio album by the English pop/reggae singer Maxi Priest, released in June 1990 by Charisma Records. The album was his first for the Charisma label. It reached a peak of number 47 on the Billboard 200, while its biggest hit, " Close to You", was a smash, peaking at number one that year.
Three other singles were issued: "Human Work of Art" ("Close to You"'s predecessor, which did not chart in the States), "Just a Little Bit Longer" (a minor hit at 62) and "Space In My Heart" (failed to chart). However, the success of "Close to You" (a gold single on October 30, 1990) drove the parent album to gold status, which it received on January 30, 1991 by the RIAA.

Releasing their eponymous debut album the following year and playing two shows at the Sweden Rock Festival in 2008, as well as opening for bands like Deep Purple, Quireboys, and Status Quo, quickly brought them a nationwide audience. Their most well-known song, Fill Your Head With Rock, was written for the aforementioned festival, and has since been named as one of 2011's best songs by Classic Rock Magazine.
