Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street 

That first sax intro does something to me. This song takes me right bank to being 5, in the back seat of my mom's 67 Mercury Cougar, diving from San Jose to Santa Cruz for the weekend.

Only one word for this song - Class - anyone else agree with me Ax

One of the very best songs ever written. GERRY the LEGEND. Rest Easy.

When this first came out I was 16. I had Red Flu. Our old Victorian house had no heating upstairs, so lay on a make shift bed in front of the coal fire in the living room. I kept hearing this being played on our old peeling blue Roberts radio, from the kitchen. I was sweating and slightly "gone". That sax just filled me up. People say that 1970's England was a dark time. It wasn't for this teenager. We had far fewer material possessions but we had this kind of music and the BBC was amazing back then. The darkness, sadly, is now.

One of the greatest tracks ever. Still fresh today. Genius at work. RIP Gerry.

Born when this song came out in 1978 dad told me it's "our" song. Rip dad.

I was born in the 70’s and I can vibe to this song! I remember my mom cleaning house and playing this loud. Love the sax

I had a dream about this song last night and it lead me here. I was 15 when this song came out. I lived on a farm out in the country and all I remember complaining about was having to eat corn, carrots, and potatoes for every meal. I wish I could go back. Now, I’ve barely left home since last March due to Covid and I have too much to worry about. Hope everyone is hanging in there during these trying times.❤️🙏🏻

I am 76 years will be 77 in 3 months . The music 🎵 back then was original and great music great Musicians and Song writers back then through the 70's after 1980 Everything went downhill ... Sad... But I still listen to the music I grew up with.. It is like taking a trip without leaving the farm...

Memorable sax is what we all want.

The opening riff transports you back to THAT time. 2020 and still listening to this awesome song

*A song, even to this day, you can truly say was NEVER overplayed on the airwaves*

The great moments in time, and songs, are those where you can recall exactly the time and place where you first heard them. This song didn't grow on me. It hit me like a freight train. RIP Gerry Rafferty. You are immortal.

Gerry Rafferty is one who we didn’t get enough of.

Dit liedje is zo onlosmakelijk verbonden met het voorjaar van 1978. Zo herkenbaar.

I just can’t hear enough of this song and I’m falling in love with all of his/their music Btw 67 here, take care.🇨🇦

ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN RECORDED AND SANG Baker's Street should have been a number one song stayed at number 2 on Billboard pop singles chart for an incredible 6 WEEKS Andy Gibb Shadow dancing (7weeks) kept it out of the top spot still heard a lot on oldies radio RIP GERRY Baker's Street was and still is a masterpiece 🌺

This song takes me back to an exact moment in time. How everything looked, sounded, smelled. Even the temperature of the air on my skin. i find this most unusual and remarkable.

I Love this song ! Brings me to tears. I was young when I heard it playing on the radio and felt goosebumps every time I heard it. What a Beautiful song..... Nostalgic. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

I heard this on my way back from work in the bus, questioning my life and everything in it. Now I have a job and I'm doing great in life, but I'll never forget that bus ride...

Greatest sax riff of all time. Fact.

That sax makes it the most memorable

No one remembers that it was Raphael Ravenscroft, the “stand in” saxophonist, who made this song so great and memorable. It wasn’t even written for Sax, the other musician never showed up & one of the band members rang Raphael and asked him to come in & play the part. The rest is history as they say.

This is one of maybe 4 or 5 songs that instantly bring back anything and everything that was happy and free when I was a kid. Damn, this is hitting me in the feels right now :3

That sax is haunting and iconic. This band is absolutely polished with talented musicians.

SEÑORAS Y SEÑORES, ME FUNARON 0:25

The opening riff transports you back to THAT time.

this has to be one of the best songs written. It has power,bass,sax and a good melody. Gerry had his own style yet he possessed that Lennon quality

A masterpiece what more can you say

WOW!!!! I've been searching for the name of this song since I was a kid and now, thanks to a friend, I finally found it! This song brings back so many great childhood memories and always brings a smile to my face! Gerry Rafferty may have gone beyond the Great Rim, but his music will go on forever, so long as we fans keep on listening and introduce it for future generations to enjoy as well! :)

Oh yeah. I remember coming home from living in N. Dakota, husband wanted a divorce because I couldn't have any. I saw this mountains (Colorado, Denver, in fact) and heard this cool, clean jazz piece and I knew I was truly back home. It was going to be okay and so would I. Music is powerful.

Si asi es llegue FUMADIISIIIMO Como supiste 😎

I just thought that I would tell a story about myself. Way back in 1979 I got my heart broken and I was so down and out. But for some reason I would listen to this album and every bit of my sadness would go away and I just felt so good. Once the album was done I would pretty much go back feeling depressed again. I met someone else who I really really love and have been married to for going on 38 years. But I still have days where I still miss the girl I was so in love with. I am sure that they she never thinks of me. She will be in my heart for the rest of my life. I was like 19 at the time and I am now going on sixty two. I love my Wife but I so pose I will get over the other girl. My Wife has given me the best days of my life along with my stepdaughter who I also love with all of my heart.

As wonderful as the sax is in this, the lead guitar is sheer perfection IMHO. Thank you. One of those timeless masterpieces that you just can't forget and want to play over and over again.

An incredible song about life, I was 17 when I heard it the first time. Still touches me deep inside.

Raphael Ravenscroft what a sax player! He did a spot with my band Toad the Wet Sprocket at St Albans City Hall in the early 80s….couldn’t meet a nicer guy. RIP Raphael Ravenscroft 🙏🏽🙏🏽

2020 and still listening to this awesome song

Gerry Rafferty's music is wonderful and poignant. If you don't know his other material, it's very moving...

I can't think of a more exhilarating start to a guitar solo, goosebumps everytime those strings slide in.

Worth buying the album as it's loaded with good songs.

When I was a courier I London 1990, I was based in Baker St waiting 4 calls, I thought of this song very day .

Im 22 but somehow when I listen to this song it brings me back to the 70s. I think it just reminds me of the stories from my parents and different movies/pictures I have seen from that era also the great music.

You can't better this tune, I'm 54 now and it still so beautiful, what an arrangement, what a majestic song.

He is such a chill dude! Love you Gerry! RIP!!!

Has to be one of the greatest songs never to reach no.1 (kept at no.2 in the U.S. for 6 weeks behind Andy Gibb's Shadow Dancing and also reached No.3 in the UK). He performed this classic when I saw him live in Glasgow back in 1993. A glorious musician and a sad loss (RIP).

Gerry Rafferty had great songs. This is one of them.

He stills stands up 42 years later, Goddamn ! ❤️

A true classic that has with stood the test of time. ( Baker Street ).( R.I.P ) ( Gerry Rafferty )🌷

This song was on the charts when I went to Savannah, GA in 1978 to visit my old friend Dick Crow. He's gone now, died from Agent Orange. It still brings back wonderful memories from that short week. A wonderful song for a wonderful friend.......Dick Crow......US Army helicopter pilot and warrior. My hero.

it's in my top 10 ever! I was 17 when this was out! Great Times and expectations xx

This is one of the most beautiful and perfect things that was ever created.

Mind blown every time I hear this song. ❤

Me encanta esta canción definitivamente te transporta a otro lugar😍😍😍

Who remembers this MASTERPIECE ??

Thank you Scotland for this musical treasure. The memories this song invokes is deep and visceral. Gerry Rafferty was synonymous with warm summers on the lake and Gerry's music oozing from the house speakers in the cabin down to the lake. What great memories I have.

2020 and still listening to this awesome song Happy days and memories from a 69 year old, its ageless unlike me ! The opening riff transports you back to THAT time. 2020 and still listening to this awesome song

by far the best sax solo of all time. nobody can compare.

LOVE this song !!!the saxophone player really makes it sound great!!!

Fine example of musical talent..one of my favorite artist..thank you Gerry..RIP buddy!

The sound of that saxophone - amazing -and then that guitar solo!!

Thank-you Gerry for blessing us with this incredibly wonderful piece of music. Even forty years after it first graced our airwaves it still sounds fresh and inspiring. Sometimes the music is just everything to someone.

Memories of 1977 - first time I saw this video on Top of the Pops when I was seven years old. Have loved it ever since, truly a timeless classic.

RIP Gerry Rafferty you legend

When music brought you somewhere that you couldn’t get to, however made you feel like you felt in.

Well the intro is as haunting as ever !!!

Rest In Peace: Gerry Rafferty (1947-2011): The song "Baker Street," from the album "City To City" came out in 1978. I was 8 years old when it came out, flashback 46 years later, it still plays in radii stations around the 50 state's & around the world.

The voice of an angel. God bless you Gerry Rafferty. 🌺August 2019---forever !

Still fantastic in 2020.... music has got us through this dam virus 💖

My favorite song ❤️

Strolling down Sauchiehall street in the summer, every shop had this belting out. Wonderful memories.

Over 2 & half million views and counting. What a wonderful song, a timeless classic.

I want this played at my final services. It simply fills a void in my soul. Ranks at the top of my all time greatest hits list and I’m 76 this year. I’ve heard some of the very best music in my life that has ever been made.

I grew up during these times thank you god

You can never get tired of this song

I NEVER tire of this song...

One of my favourite songs and singers of all time! This is classic and timeless!

Another one of Scotland's treasures. He's is a treasure As you are Scottish. Lady Judith

As wonderful as the sax is in this, the lead guitar is sheer perfection IMHO. Thank you.

Gerry rafferty, lovely tone in his voice. Very gifted man. Love his voice.

This song reminds me patiently that time really never changes if your attitude stays the same. Even though it is 2020, I still gracefully listen to this beautiful music.

Love Gerry he was my brother's favourite when I was growing up my brother was sadly murdered this is what gets me through each day hearing his favourite songs by Gerry I hold a lot of memories of my much loved brother now resting in god's garden love u forever tattie love always Kate 💜💜💜xxxxxxxxxxcxx

I was just a young boy around 10 years old who listened to A.M. radio and this song here sounded different. The sax, The guitar all in the same song. A song that is part of the soundtrack of my life.

This brings back memories

Great song that will live for ever. Sad to hear the sax player died a few days ago. Thanks for the great songs and memories guys.

1st in 2020. Still listening for 42 years. -class of 82

Story goes that the sax player was supposed to do a guitar riff but when he went to his car to retrieve his guitar at the studio....he realized he left it at home.....he grabbed his sax and asked Kenny if he could play it instead.......Kenny was a bit hesitant wanting it to be a guitar finally said yes.....and one of the most beautiful ( romantic) sax parts was born! Thank you sirs!
