bAzTNM Fan Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 2011 has been a shiter of a year so far for celebrity deaths. Talented musician, shame about the end. Â RIP.

Mock-The-Cross Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Aw man this sucks! I remeber a few years ago, me and my old man were drinking with Mr Rafferty, sound guy. And for those that are interested, 'baker street' was actually about a street in my home town of Dundee that baked meat pies, or 'pehs'. Â Otherwise known as Dura street. A Scottish local legend RIP.
Happ Hazzard Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Bob Holness has sent his condolences. Â Ridiculous that Undercover's cover of "Baker Street" reached higher in the charts than the original. Â Rafferty was also part of Stealer's Wheel, that recorded the original of "Stuck in the Middle with You", famously used in Reservoir Dogs and laterly covered by Louise Redknapp.
patiirc Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 My folks will be gutted about that as it is 'their' song. Bummer  RIP
Mr Mojo Rising Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I always liked his stuff. I think he played with Billy Connolly as well in his early days.

Paid Members Surf Digby Posted January 4, 2011 Paid Members Posted January 4, 2011 Quite spooky, as I got the sax out for the first time in ages today and was playing Baker Street.
Harvey Dent Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Real shame. Who doesn't love that sax on Baker Stree? RIP

Â What the Fuck? It's not about Baker Street in my home town of motherfucking London? Â No. In spite of being in the third person, it's about him struggling to come to terms with being a star, which ironically brought him his greatest success and recognition. Â City To City is a fucking great album. Right Down The Line, The Ark and Stealin' Time are superb tracks.
Paid Members GlennCullen Posted January 5, 2011 Paid Members Posted January 5, 2011 Not overly familiar with his work but of course know Baker Street for THAT saxaphone. Â RIP.
