Gerry Rafferty

Born on this day in 1947, Scottish singer-songwriter Gerry Rafferty had tasted success as part of The Humblebums in the late 1960s, and in Stealers Wheel (“Stuck In The Middle With You”) a couple of years later, but it was CITY TO CITY that truly put him on the musical map. The 1978 solo album features the song most associated with the multi-talented performer, “Baker Street,” a tale of discomfort with the music industry's star-making machinery that paradoxically became a No.2 U.S. single. With another hit in “Right Down the Line,” the collection went to No.1 on the U.S. album chart, eventually going Platinum. Any good best-of will include those two highlights - but maybe not the wonderful “Whatever's Written In My Heart,” “Mattie's Rag” or “Home And Dry.” CITY TO CITY shines from start to finish with outstanding pop craftsmanship.
