I've always found it impossible to go near Baker Street without a certain saxophone solo going through my head.

 

RIP Gerry Rafferty :(

Only 63 - He died with liver disease due to excessive drinking.

 

Baker Street - love the haunting sax. It's from the brilliant album City To City which I have.

Not many people know this but before Stealers Wheel he used to be part of a duo with Billy Connolly called the Humblebums.

Stealers Wheel had 3 hits

Stuck In The Middle With You (later covered by Louise Redknapp)

Everything Will Turn Out Fine

Star

 

He had a few solo hits including:

Baker Street

Get It Right Next Time

Right Down The Line

Night Owl

 

 

Here's a couple of Gerry's hits

Baker Street

 

Stealers Wheel - Everything Will Turn Out Fine

 

 

 

Not one of his well known songs, and not for everybody's tastes, but Don't Give Up On Me seems to turn up intermittently on the rare occasions whenever I'm listening to Radio 2 (normally when I'm in my dad's car). Not bad for an album track from a 20 year old record that sold flip all.

Baker Street is such a prolific song and brings back so many childhood memories as they used to play it as part of Childrens Programs on the ABC in Australia
