Gerry Rafferty: Do as he did: rock 'til you drop


When I think of Gerry Rafferty (16 April 1947 – 4 January 2011), I think of this record cover. The brother of one of my school mates must have had it. We often trawled through his LPs when he was out. I discovered the Doors doing this. Of course whenever I'm on Baker Street in London, I find myself singing Gerry Rafferty's hit song of the same name. Or humming the intro, at least; I don't know the words well enough to sing it.

And I think of The Foo Fighters, who I'm not a big fan of, but they did do this pretty decent cover of Baker Street:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH5SFemG8CI
