Stealers Wheel were a Scottish rock duo comprised of Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan. They scored a major hit right out of the gate in 1973 with "Stuck In the Middle With You," which soared to #6. Their follow-up song, "Everyone's Agreed That Everything Will Turn Out Fine," could not match this success and stalled at #49. The group would return to the Top 40 once more in 1974, when "Star" reached #29. Due to disagreements with one another, they each embarked on solo careers--one successful...the other not so much. "Back On My Feet Again" is a peppy rock song that deserved better attention. It can be found on their 1973 album, "Ferguslie Park."
Many people remember Gerry Rafferty incorrectly as a one-hit wonder, whose classic song "Baker Street" (made more memorable by the ripping sax solo played by Raphael Ravenscroft) spent six weeks at #2 in 1978. But he landed in the top 40 several other times, including "Right Down The Line" (#12), "Days Gone Down (Still Got The Light In Your Eyes)" (#17), and "Get It Right Next Time" (#21). Rafferty couldn't maintain chart success far into the 80s, his last appearance being in 1980 when "The Royal Mile (Sweet Darlin')" stalled at #54. He passed away from liver failure in 2011 at the age of 63. "The Right Moment" is a beautiful ballad that appeared on his 1982 effort called "Sleepwalking." Olivia Newton-John would cover this song in 1985.
