BuffaloBill Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Gerry Rafferty is no longer stuck in the middle. May he R.I.P.
KD in CA Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Baker Street is one of my favorite songs from that decade. RIP Gerry.
The Poojer Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I loved Gerry Rafferty as well, liked him in Stealers Wheel as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMAIsqvTh7g
linksfiend Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Baker Street is one of my favorite songs from that decade. RIP Gerry. OK - if I don't really recognize the song Baker Street but absolutely know the saxophone solo, why would that be? Was it used in a commercial? Sampled in another song I know? Please help.

Sampled in another song I know? Please help. It's a distinctive solo so easy to remember. There's no way you haven't heard the song several times; it's been in radio rotations for 30 years.

linksfiend Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 How old or better how young are you? Plenty old enough that I should know it. But can't swear I do. Other than the sax solo, none of it sounds familar.
Chef Jim Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Plenty old enough that I should know it. But can't swear I do. Other than the sax solo, none of it sounds familar. So I take it you did not own a radio or ever frequent a bar with a juke box in the late 70's?
Mr_Blizzard Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Gerry Rafferty is no longer stuck in the middle. May he R.I.P. Baker Street was one of the better songs from the late 70's. "You used to think that it was so easy . . ." Classic line.
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Baker Street is one of my favorite songs from that decade. RIP Gerry. Ditto.
The Poojer Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 it was also recently re-done by the foo fighters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH5SFemG8CI Plenty old enough that I should know it. But can't swear I do. Other than the sax solo, none of it sounds familar.
truth on hold Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Another cover, sucks they took out the guitar part Edited January 5, 2011 by Joe_the_6_pack
Chef Jim Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 it was also recently re-done ruined by the foo fighters youtube.com/watch?v=lH5SFemG8CI Fixed that for ya. That be there some high quality musicianship huh.
Astrojanitor Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Plenty old enough that I should know it. But can't swear I do. Other than the sax solo, none of it sounds familar. Foo Figters covered Baker Street awhile back...maybe that's it. Then again that sax solo gets used as a punchline all the time. It's kind of the faux-seductive yakkity sax
