Trivia, if you are interested...
On this day in 1978, Gerry Rafferty released the single “Baker Street” (February 3)
Rafferty was in Stealer’s Wheel (of “Stck in the Middle” Fame), but issues after the break-up meant that, for three years, Rafferty was unable to release any material.
After the disputes were resolved in 1978, he recorded his second solo album, “City to City”, which included the epic worldwide smash hit “Baker Street", with the iconic sax riff (played by Raphael Ravenscroft), and cracking guitar solo (played by Hugh Burns).
The song went to #1 in Australia, Canada, and South Africa, #2 in the US and Switzerland, #3 in the UK, Ireland and Germany, #4 in New Zealand and Austria, and #9 in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Rafferty commented on how profitable his biggest song had been, stating: "Baker Street still makes me about £80,000 a year. It's been a huge earner for me. I must admit, I could live off that song alone".
For “Baker Street”, Rafferty received the 1978 Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.
