summer_sky Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'm an admirer of Gerry Rafferty. Does this count? I think Rafferty was an under-appreciated/recognized song writer of great talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realomind Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Totally. Always been a fan of Gerry Rafferty too, a great songwriter and it's a huge loss now that he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer_sky Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) This is my favorite Gerry Rafferty song and I love the simple video because I think it showcases GR - the man and his music: *do not mean to highjack 'Stealers Wheel' discussion... just love this Rafferty song so much* Edited February 16, 2011 by summer_sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer_sky Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Here's my introduction to Gerry Rafferty via Stealers Wheel when I was but a wee, young, teenage lass in 1972 listening to my transistor radio... Stuck In The Middle With You The song was meant as a parody as I learned many, many moons later... as I grew to know the work of Gerry Rafferty. At the time, it had a great hook and I sang along every time I would hear the song played on my portable transistor radio-primitive Walkman-soon-to-evolve-into-iPod device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realomind Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Can't argue with your posts summer_sky, nice one. This was also a fav of mine, seemed all the more poignant after he passed. Edited February 16, 2011 by realomind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was also a fav of mine, seemed all the more poignant after he passed. City to City Beautiful. That's the thing, Gerry was always speaking through his lyrics... even though we listened over the years, we only really hear what he was saying now that he is gone.

I bought the Stealers Wheel album right after Gerry passed away. Everyone knows the song "Stuck In The Middle With You" especially thanks to the great film that is "Reservoir Dogs." I listened to the album a few times and found it very boring. The "Reservoir Dogs" soundtrack is all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babycat Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Always loved Stuck In The Middle With You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Love Stealers, and Gerry's two finest efforts, Night Owl & City to City. Great doc on Gerry on BBC4 on Friday night. Gerry liked a drink or two, oh yes he did. But those around him loved him. Billy Connolly got quite upset at the end. Very moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
