BY REQUEST ... Thanks Jim for reminding me how good Gerry Rafferty is. Peace bro.

Kate Winslet is best known for her role in the movie "Titanic" starring opposite Leonardo DiCaprio. Very talented and beautiful, and I just love her voice . :)

In his early years, Gerry Rafferty earned money by the formerly illegal practice of busking on the London Underground. Poetically, his biggest hit "Baker Street" was about busking at a tube station. After working with Billy Connolly (now better known as a comedian) 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.
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. 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. Another song from the City to City album, "Right Down the Line," also continues to receive copious radio airplay. "Home and Dry" managed a top 30 spot. One of the more obscure tracks from that time is "Big Change in the Weather" (the B-side of "Baker Street")

This is off City To City and is called "Island". A beautiful song for a beautiful woman.

  • Wake up my love, ...

    Wake up my love, the sun is shinin out that blue sky up above
    Its a brand new day, lets walk outside and let that breeze blow all our cares away.
    You know that way back there in that city life
    Weve been strangers for so long
    Now that I feel like I know you again
    I want to stay.
    So long ago (yeah), we had a love so warm and bright when we had just begun
    That was my last dream, since then Ive watched the rest crumble one by one.

    A Wish come true. Thanks for the time and effort you put into making this one special!! If ever there was a recording artist that deserves to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- Gerry is tops on the list.
