Eddie Rabbitt "Drivin' My Life Away"

People who tend to say they "like all music except for country" -- well, those folks should give Eddie Rabbitt's "Drivin' My Life Away" a listen. The catchy 1980 tune helped Rabbitt crossover from Country to Mainstream music. This move set him up for follow-up soft rock hits "I Love A Rainy Night" and the duet "You & I".

Crystal Gayle & Eddie Rabbitt - "You And I"

I'm not a gambling man, but I'd be willing to bet that many early-1980s wedding receptions featured newly-married couples dancing to Crystal Gayle & Eddie Rabbitt's "You And I".  I would also wager that Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" was also played since it would soon become the anthem of all wedding receptions (followed by "We Are Family", of course).

USELESS TRIVIA:

In 1980, Eddie Rabbit's "I Love A Rainy Night" knocked Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" out of the #1 spot.  This was the first and only time two country songs were back-to-back #1 hits on the Hot 100 Chart.
