    Gerry suffered with alcoholism and depression throughout his life and this heartfelt track was written for his wife Carla Ventilla who he met in 1965. She spent a large part of their marriage helping Gerry through his issues but in the end it finally got too much for Carla and they divorced in 1990, twelve years after he wrote this for her. RIP Gerry, a fine musician.

    This was the follow up to Baker Street.
    Beautiful song with great vocals and a wonderful melody. This was popular on the contemporary pop Billboard. It made it to Number 1 in the US and Number 5 on Canada. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦

      I agree with your Level 42 recommendation. I lived in London in 1986 and where ever you went, Level 42 was playing. I bought the Lessons In Love CD (the new format that was replacing vinyl records) at Virgin Records where I met a relative new-comer, Daniel Day Lewis, who was there promoting his National Theatre play, The Futurists. The Pretenders Chain Gang began playing and when he sang along, DDL really belted out, "For making us paaahhhhhrt!" I digress, but that memory is always tied to my Level 42 CD because DDL signed the case. I saw Level 42 at Wembley Stadium in December 1986. Great times and wonderful country to visit.

She would do this in her room or make the bed of my pickup truck her “stage”, until she saw us watching and she would do that embarrassed withdrawal just like your daughter. She’s in her 30s now and I’m past 70. Thank you for bringing a sentimental tear to an old man’s eye.
    Great choice on the Gerry Rafferty song. Was one of mine and my wife’s favorites when we were dating in 1978. Married the next year and still together 43 years later. You took me on two sentimental journeys today.

    The secret to this song is that is so delicate that upon first listen is seems unassuming and maybe just a "chill" song but truth is that it is an immensely emotional song that is just waiting to catch you when you're alone. Also, it's a patient song; it is waiting to sink into your emotions years later, allowing itself to resonate deeper into your heart. Right Down The Line will just grow and grow its way into you.

    Unmistakable voice of Gerry Rafferty. Such a smooth, velvet voice. Gerry's lyrics were his own life experiences set to music and are so well put together. This talented man has a huge number of songs that are truly wonderful. Although Baker Street is a classic and threw Gerry into the limelight (which we wasn't fond of.!) he is so much more than just Baker Street - East to Talk, Don't Speak of my Heart, Night Owl. Welcome to Hollywood, The Royal Mile, Winters Come, Whatevers Written in your Heart, Don't Give Up On Me & Shipyard Town to name but a few......try them, you won't regret it. RIP Gerry.

They just don't make music like this anymore and I was a teenager that grew up in the 80's and saw and heard some of the best music ever. If you want to have a song that tugs at your heart, give a listen to Red Sovine. Old style country with great story telling.

    If Amber is looking for a band that features the Sax alot, I'd recommend "John Cafferty, and the Beaver Brown band". Songs like; "Tender Years" "Some like it hot" "Garden of Eden" "NYC song" "Pride of Passion" and "Mariya". All bangers!
    *They were also the band who's music was 100% the soundtrack to the movie "Eddie and the Cruisers". (Pt 1 and 2)
    You and Jay will absolutely love them. 😃

    Glad you got back to Gerry Rafferty. I suggested this song a while ago. I think it was around Valentine's Day. A beautiful song that appears to be simple but is very ‘refined’ with an important meaning. It seems he wanted to honor his wife with this song. "Get it Right Next Time" for your next GR?

    OMG, this song is so better and beyond Baker Street. One of the most beautiful songs ever written. If I listen to this song too much/too deeply, it'll actually make me tear up. I love the way you both grooved to the song so differently. I believe he struggled with alcoholism, he wrote this song for his ex-wife, alcoholism wrecked his life. RIP Gerry.

    Amber & Jay, The *"Steelers Wheel - Stuck In The Middle With You"* reaction you did a year ago is actually Gerry Rafferty singing, even though he's not pictured as the singer in the music video that you watched. (The video was made after Gerry left the band but it's him singing)

    I just got home from a drive from Orlando to Denver and back, helping my son move. I drove alone the whole time and had to take back roads most of the way. In some areas, I'd lose data and sometimes even FM radio. Fortunately,my van is old and still has a CD player. I had 6 CDs with me and one was Gerry Rafferty -City to City . It was the perfect, soothing CD to have and sing along with for the most nerve -wracking parts of that drive!

    Gerry Rafferty wanted to express how he loved this woman, but didn't know how but to write and sing this song. Jim Croce did much the same thing in the song, "I'll have to say I love you in a song." It's a lovely song that would make a great reaction for you!

    In 1972, Gerry Rafferty was briefly in the British Rock band, Stealer's Wheel. He was in the group long enough to record the band's only hit song, "Stuck In The Middle With You". There is a promotional film clip by Stealer's Wheel performing the song, but it was made after Rafferty left the group. Perhaps the both of you might want to react to the recording, which was released by Atco Records (a sister label of Atlantic Records).
