Transitioning to Columbia Records in 1979, "Half the Way" became Gayle's third top-20 pop hit and reached number 2 on the Billboard country chart.[4] She continued to regularly top the country chart, with crossovers into the Hot 100 during the 1980s. Examples include 1980's "It's Like We Never Said Goodbye" and "If You Ever Change Your Mind".[1] "The Woman in Me" (1981) reached number 3 on the country chart and number 76 on the Hot 100.[5] From 1982 to 1984, she had four number-one country hits, including the crossover successes "Baby, What About You" and "The Sound of Goodbye".[1] Featured on Eddie Rabbitt's "You and I" (1982), she garnered a 10th chart-topping country single and second top-10 on the Hot 100.[2] The number-one hit "Makin' Up for Lost Time" (1985) started a two-year collaboration with Gary Morris.[6] In 1986, a cover of "Cry" and the original "Straight to the Heart" became her final number-one hits,[1] as toward the end of the decade, her success declined.[2] Her 1990 cover of "Never Ending Song of Love" became her last appearance on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.[7] Gayle has continued issuing singles and has been featured on other artists' releases. In 2010, she was featured on Mishavonna's holiday single "Christmas Everywhere".[8]
