Song #405: "Right Down The Line"--Gerry Rafferty (1978)

First known as the voice of "Stealers Wheel", Rafferty broke out onto his own as a solo artist, hitting it big with "Baker Street" earlier in 1978.

And, while that song didn't make our countdown, four of Rafferty's did, beginning with this follow-up single from '78, the only one that reached #1 on a U.S. chart, the adult contemporary. It was his second biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100 (the one Casey Kasem used on American Top 40).

When I think of late 1970's music and radio, one of the first people to come to mind is Gerry Rafferty. I simply loved his music. More from him, later (hint, hint), in our stroll down memory lane.  :)
