RIP Gerry Rafferty

Mostly forgotten, Gerry Rafferty passed away on January 4, 2011.  I still remember playing "Baker Street" and "Right Down The Line" 45's twenty-five years ago at my small-town radio station job.  Even then they were considered "oldies."

Unfortunately, his big hit with Stealers Wheel, "Stuck In The Middle With You," is now mostly remembered for being the accompaniment to Michael Madsen cutting off the cops' ear in Reservoir Dogs.
