RIP Gerry Rafferty

Cant see another thread for this so delete if necessary.

Rafferty's music career began in the 1970s alongside Billy Connolly (The Comedian) in The Humblebums.
He later joined soft-rock group Stealers Wheel and penned the million-selling song Stuck In The Middle With You - which later featured in Quentin Tarantino's cult flick Reservoir Dogs.
He then went solo and released the song he is most famous for - Baker Street.

Found out this through facebook last night.

The man responsible for one of my all time favourite pieces of music.

Did this only happen last week? Sorry to hear that, love Baker Street....

RIP

Actually, he was kind of featured in an episode of 'New Tricks' that aired over the Xmas Season....something to do with one of the characters being hypnotized and 'Baker Street' was his trigger

Foo Fighter's did an excellent cover of this song.....sorry, just read your post above
