Gerry Rafferty ~ Right Down The Line 1978 Disco Purrfection Version

"Right Down The Line" was the second single from Gerry Rafferty's "City To City" album after "Baker Street". It was a #1 Adult Contemporary hit for four weeks and did you know that "City to City" was the album that knocked "Saturday Night Fever" off the top of the album chart?
Rafferty and Joe Egan formed a band named Stealer's Wheel and with "Stuck In The Middle With You" peaking at #6 pop. Produced by Leiber & Stoller the group had two more hits and then broke up. The litigation of the suit prevented Rafferty from recording solo for most of the 70's but he came back with "City To City".
He wrote the song for his wife, who stood by him during those hard times "it's just my way of saying thank you."
Rafferty had two more singles in 1979 but then faded away leaving us with the sax driven "Baker Street" and the valentine "Right Down The Line".

I can remember my best friends and I would go on these epic walks together back in the day and we always had a radio with us. This is one of the songs we all loved and we'd sing it altogether and pretend we were a famous all girl band. Best times of our lives.

[@VasiliosVasilounis]

Take a great song to begin with, add Disco Purrfection's magic and you get a song that's twice a masterpiece. This song takes me back to the innocent days of my youth when my parents were still alive. How do I miss those moments. Time like those do not return. Only tears remind us of them now and then.

[@fob1xxl]

This was my late love's favorite song when we met. That was 12-31-77. We were together for 40 years., until 2017 when they passed away. Like the song says, It was them "Right Down The Line" ! I couldn't have been luckier. I wish I could do it all over again !

You know I need your love You've got that hold over me Long as I've got your love You know that I'll never leave When I wanted you to share my life I had no doubt in my mind And it's been you, woman Right down the line [Verse 2] I know how much I lean on you Only you can see The changes that I've been through Have left a mark on me You've been as constant as a Northern Star The brightest light that shines It's been you, woman Right down the line [Chorus] I just wanna say this is my way Of telling you everything I could never say before Yeah this is my way of telling you That every day I'm loving you so much more [Verse 3] Cause you believed in me Through my darkest night Put something better inside of me You brought me into the light Threw away all those crazy dreams I put them all behind And it was you, woman Right down the line [Chorus] I just wanna say this is my way Of telling you everything I could never say before Yeah this is my way of telling you That every day I'm loving you so much more [Verse 3] Cause you believed in me Through my darkest night Put something better inside of me You brought me into the light Threw away all those crazy dreams I put them all behind And it was you, woman Right down the line [Chorus] I just wanna say this is my way Of telling you everything I could never say before Yeah this is my way of telling you That every day I'm loving you so much more [Verse 4] If I should doubt myself If I'm losing ground I won't turn to someone else They'd only let me down When I wanted you to share my life I had no doubt in my mind And it's been you, woman Right down the line

I just looked up Gerry Rafferty again, because I remember also liking the fact that he never liked 'celebrity' in the music industry and was uncomfortable with that. He was more about the craft. I just learned that last week, Jan 4th, was the 12th anniversary of his death. I had no idea that sadly, he'd passed away (in 2011 of liver failure). 😞 RIP Gerry.

What a pleasant surprise to see you include this one here. Thank you! 🙂
