Thirty something years ago, when I graduated from high school, Gerry Rafferty had a very popular album that included this Platinum single.
Maybe it is a kid thing, but in my life I've associated certain songs with different periods and women. This song is one of those, arousing feelings loss.
Gerry Rafferty passed away shortly after the New Year. He had been out of the spotlight since the middle eighties trying to recapture a fleeting moment of fantastic popularity. Perhaps because of reluctance to perform publicly, perhaps because of a reported drinking problem, Mr. Rafferty did not come close.
As a partner in the band Stealer's Wheel, Rafferty first stuck goad with the song "Stuck In the Middle With You", later made infamous in the movie "Reservoir Dogs".
RIP Gerry Rafferty (16 April 1947 – 4 January 2011)
