The world has lost another of its musical legends with the passing of Scottish singer-songwriter Gerry Rafferty. He was 63.
Rafferty gave us countless hits including “Stuck in the Middle,” “Take the Money and Run,” and this epic hit “Baker Street.”
While Tarantino made the former track a cult favorite with its inclusion in Reservoir Dogs, “Baker Street” was Rafferty’s greatest chart success reaching number 1 in Australia, number two in the United States, and number three in the United Kingdom.
Rafferty died at home with his family after battling an unspecified illness. Through incredible tunes like this, he will live on.
