Fortune walks right in the door, and here I am just like before

Thursday music corner: American singer-songwriter Rickie Lee Jones was born in Chicago in 1954, and came to immediate prominence with the release of her hit self-titled debut album in 1979, which included the successful single Chuck E's In Love. Rickie Lee Jones went platinum in the US and reached number three in the US album charts; it also topped the Australian album charts. 

A Lucky Guy appeared on Jones' 1981 album Pirates, her second. It was the lead single from the album, but only reached number 64 in the US charts. The album was, in part at least, a response to Jones' break-up with performer Tom Waits.
