Gayle recorded the soundtrack for One from the Heart with Tom Waits before signing with Elektra Records.[7] Her tenth studio album, True Love (1982), peaked at number fourteen on the Top Country Albums chart and number one hundred twenty on the Billboard 200. Cage the Songbird (1983) reached the fifth position on the country albums survey and became her final release to peak on the Billboard 200.[2] Following the release of her twelfth studio album in 1985, Gayle collaborated with Gary Morris to record What If We Fall in Love? (1986).[1] This was followed by a Christmas album and her final studio album of the decade in 1988, Nobody's Angel.[2][8] Although her popularity declined, Gayle continued recording, releasing the studio albums Ain't Gonna Worry (1990) and Three Good Reasons. During the mid 1990s, Gayle began venturing into different styles of music.[3] She issued an album of Gospel music entitled Someday in 1995 and an album of Children's music in 2000, In My Arms.[1] She also recorded two albums of American standard songs during this time. Gayle's most recent was 2003's All My Tomorrows.[9]

gollark: Hey, I could use SPUDNET to do that too, good idea.
gollark: Okay.
gollark: Another example of referential transparency good, lack of such bad.
gollark: Doesn't `shell.run` capture the errors *itself* somehow?
gollark: It's `os.startAlarm` or something, not `os.alarm`.
