In his early years, Gerry Rafferty earned money busking on the London Underground. Poetically, his biggest hit “Baker Street” was about busking at a tube station. After working with Billy Connolly in a band called the Humblebums, he recorded a first solo album, Can I Have My Money Back. In 1972 Rafferty and his old school friend Joe Egan formed Stealers Wheel, a group beset by legal wranglings but which did have a huge hit “Stuck in the Middle With You” (made famous for a new generation in the movie Reservoir Dogs) and the smaller top 40 hit “Star” ten months later. The duo disbanded in 1975.[1]
In 1978, Gerry Rafferty cut a solo album, City to City, which included the song with which he remains most identified, “Baker Street”. The single reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 2 in the U.S.[2][3] The album sold over 5.5 million copies, toppling the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack in the U.S. on 8 July 1978. Even today, “Baker Street”, which features a “glistening” saxophone solo by Raphael Ravenscroft, remains a mainstay of soft-rock radio airplay.[4]Another song from the City to City album, “Right Down the Line,” also continues to receive copious radio airplay. Also from City to City, “Home and Dry” managed a #28 spot in the US Top 40 in early 1979.[5] One of the more obscure tracks from that time is “Big Change in the Weather” (the B-side of “Baker Street”).[6]. His next album, Night Owl, also did well, and the title track was a UK No. 5 hit in 1979. “Days Gone Down” reached #17 in the U.S. The follow-up single “Get It Right Next Time” made the UK & US Top 40.
