FIRST TIME HEARING | Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street 

It's nice to see young people listening to music from us older generations. I was 13 when this song hit the airwaves. It is and will always by, one of my top 3 songs (and depending on musical mood, is first on the list more than not). It has a deep melancholic feel for me.

So glad you're enjoying the music! Thanks Ace!

The way tlyou smiled when the sax came in made my day

Love this song. Especially the sax solo. In 1972 Gerry Rafferty was in the Scottish folk rock band Stealers Wheel & had a big hit with "Stuck In The Middle With You". Later on, he went out on his own & then had the big hits "Baker's Street", "Right Down The Line" & "Night Owl".

dude,you are so awesome man!!!!! love watching you react to tunes I know and love.

This song is the very definition of a vibe

simply best sax line ever!

Yopu youngters don't know what you missed...my generation messed up some things like all generations do, but our music was GLORIOUS...something we did wonderfully right!

Another FANTASTIC classic rock song! One of my all time favorites!

Great reaction, great song, great solos ... sax... ohhh God, what a (sax) performance!!!

Gerry's Sax player was Raphael Ravencroft who passed in 2014. Gerry (dang it) was already gone by 2011. The whole City To City album is totally fantastic, this is just one sample of it.

such a great song! ♥

The image I always get in my head when the guitar solo kicks in is one of walking home alone early, early in the morning, the sun just rising over the horizon (as it mentions in the last verse). There's noone around. No sound of cars or people and the city is dead quiet except for the distant, plaintive cries of seagulls or other birds like that. That sound is what those first notes from the guitar remind me of.

I prefer reactions without the video x glad you liked this one. Right next time is another brilliant Gerry Rafferty song 💃

Hi . Yes, this is a fantastic experience. For another one, please listen to Hazel Oconnor and Will You,with great sax too

Love your reactions face keep up the good work

At my age, I've lived through the Beatles, the Stones et al, this is the best.

The sax solo has always brought a tear to my eye…..so evocative!! ☮️❤️

The saxophone did it for me!!🔥🔥🔥

The sax was used in The Simpsons, series 9 Ep 3. Lisas Sax. Closing credits.

I remember hearing this for the first time in the very early 80's at my mom's work when I was in elementary school, and that sax stuck in my mind ever since. I've loved this song my entire life.

Oh yes I love this song good memories for me

As you might imagine, when this peaked, it was pouring from everywhere. It took a lot to get tired of at the time but it was viral long before the internet existed.

A sax will catch my ear too.

I also prefer the audio w/ lyric reactions. I see a pure experience of the music.

you will note that after this song was released, the sax in songs rarely ever was used. it killed it as no one could surpass this.

Never gets old - one of the best sax songs ever no doubt. More bands with horns - Earth, Wind and Fire, Tower of Power, Fela Kuti - you can use some other genres too, Sly and the Family Stone, Rufus, Chaka Chan, Billy Preston (5th Beatle) Bill Withers.

Hi, Guy! This song was a monster back in the day! Also try" No More Drama" by Mary J. Blidge. God Bless!

The saxophone is the refrain.

Hi, Guy! Always remember! What powers these reaction channels, are the Baby Boomers. We were there, when these songs came out, so never apologize for starting with Audio versions! It is the Blue Print! The videos come later, and it is the younger generation that's more interested in the visual of the song! God Bless!

It's sad to me how blown away people your age are by a saxophone solo. You guys hate everything about "older" people's music, but when you hear some of the best of it, you're literally blown away. I'm glad to see you appreciate it, but it makes me sad that you've heard so little of something like this in today's music. Almost every reaction vid of this song by people your age includes guys losing their mind over actually hearing a saxophone in a song. Like I said, that's actually sad, but I'm glad you liked it.

You can never have enough sax 😊

When I hear that sax I want to get out of debt and start a 401K.

U want sexy listen to Jefferson Starship -- Miracles. U better have the lyrics handy as well.

This song is about Jerry going to a city to see his lawyer about the rights to songs he wrote previously . He would stay at his friends house to rest up before going home the next day . I don’t think he won his court case either . Trip huh ?

Sorry Ace but you all missed the greatest music and lyrics. So happy you enjoy the music. And this was before auto tune.

Hate to say it but you to kick the habit of saying ‘ like ‘ it sounds terrible like ya known !
