Exceptional
difficulties plagued the album's production. By 1978, Walter Becker and
Donald Fagen had established themselves as the only two permanent
members of Steely Dan and were using a revolving cast of session
musicians to record the songs they wrote together. However, the pair's
working relationship began to become strained, largely because of
Becker's escalating drug use. During the course of the recording
sessions for Gaucho, Becker was hit by a car late one Saturday night
while walking home to his apartment on the Upper West Side. He managed
to push the woman he was with out of harm's way, but sustained multiple
fractures in one leg, a sprain in the other leg, and other injuries.
During his six-month recovery, he suffered from secondary infections.
While Becker was in the hospital, he and Fagen continued their musical
collaborations via telephone.
Becker's personal problems continued to
mount when his girlfriend, Karen Roberta Stanley, died of a drug
overdose at his home on January 30, 1980. Her family sued Becker for
$17.5 million in January 1981, claiming that he had introduced Karen to
cocaine, morphine, barbiturates, and heroin. The court later ruled in
Becker's favor.
