	Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty Songfacts
		It is the first song I can REALLY remember because it was popular the year we went swimming and had to take the car to get to the beach.
		Baker Street is a very famous street in London (of Sherlock Holmes fame) nothing USA about it at all...sorry court and Steve.
		Yes, the song is from the album City to City and the sax solo by Raphael Ravenscroft is memorable.

	CD Baby: SAM BAKER: Mercy
		Baker is a vivid storyteller both in terms of what he chooses to write about and the brevity with which he brings his stories to life.
		Among the people who populate his songs are a husband who's lost his wife of fifty years, a wayward daughter heading home, a single mom overwhelmed in a drive-through window and other folks with hard lives looking for soft places to land.
		Baker ends the song filled with fleeting images of small-town life and then has four short lines to remind all of us of the subtext of our lives.

	Gerry Rafferty
		His father was deaf but still enjoyed singing, mostly Irish rebel songs, and his early experience of music was a combination of Catholic hymns, traditional folk music, and 50's pop music.
		Billy Connelly was impressed not only with the songs but with their author, and suddenly the Humblebums were a trio.
		Connelly was the dominant personality, his jokes between the songs entertaining audiences as much as the songs themselves.

	Gerry Rafferty - Music Downloads - Online
		Bio: Gerry Rafferty was a popular music giant at the end of the 1970's, thanks to the song "Baker Street" and the album City To City.
		Gerry Rafferty was born in Paisley, Scotland in 1947, the son of a Scottish mother and an Irish father.
		Sleepwalking (1982), issued on the Liberty label, ended that round of Rafferty's public music-making activities, and he was little heard from during the mid-'80s, apart from one song contributed to the offbeat comedy Local Hero, a producer's gig with the group the Proclaimers that yielded a Top Three single ("Letter From America") in 1987.

	Amazon.com: Baker Street: Gerry Rafferty: Music
		If you think Baker Street was nauseating, first of all, you're in the minority and second, you need to spend your time eslewhere.
		Baker Street's sax solo is one of the most memorable things to ever come out of the radio and he will always be remembered for that and for Stuck in the Middle With You...his voice evoking thoughts of Lennon and Jeff Lynne...hardly the stuff of shame.
		The "City to City" album from which this song is taken is a concept album and every lyric addresses these issues of loneliness and itinerant living on the road.

	Baker Knight
		Baker played a few of his songs for Nelson, including the melancholy ballad "Lonesome Town." Less than six months later, in November 1958, it reached Billboard's Top Ten as did its flip side, "I got A Feeling," another Knight tune.
		These songs (along with his newest CD, "Music is My Woman," and his first all-instrumental CD, "Music for Romantic Dreamers") illustrate that after 40-plus years in the business, Knight still has his gift of melody and talented way with words.
		Baker Knight's CD is available through his website as well as on Amazon.com.

		I probably didn’t understand most of the jokes and may have been unfamiliar with the original songs, but I was fascinated with the genre nonetheless.
		Song parodies are inspired by many things: something in the news, a quote, celebrity malapropos, or just a theme like the Star Wars marathon I watched last year.
		You aren't parodying the song itself, you are borrowing the melody like a suit and dressing something else in it.

	BBC - Radio 2 - Sold On Song - TOP 100 - number 48 - Baker Street
		Central to its success was, of course, “Baker Street”.
		With its rippling celeste and yearning, understated, vocal both Rafferty and his label felt it was too enigmatic and reticent to be a single.
		It gave the song one of the most recognisable intros of all time and by its final return at the coda, underpinned by a swooping guitar, you knew you’d listened to one of the greatest arrangements of all time.

	Amazon.co.uk: Baker Street: Gerry Rafferty: Music
		This sort of thing doesn't happen when you stop at Tooting Broadway (a Kitchens Of Distinction song), Camden Town (Suggs), or Victoria (The Kinks)--which, in a roundabout way, is to say that in the late 1970s few were the songwriters who could pen a tune as evocative as the ex-Stealers Wheel frontman.
		City to City is another excellent song but the surprise for me was that there are some songs I like even more than the irrepressible Baker Street.
		I bought this on the strength of the song "Baker Street" but unfortunately the rest of the album is quite dull.

	80s Music: Saxaphone Song?
		This song has a male singer, and when he does sing it is lower then the saxophone solo that over powers, his verse.
		If you were an 80's DJ at one time, I'm sure you have played this song before, It's a very powerful song, it almost seems like the saxophone solo and the lyrics don’t belong in the same song, but it works well together.
		And a final hint, the song is not "We belong to the city - Glen Frey, but this song gives you the same good uplifting pleasant feeling as this saxophone solo does.

	"Baker Street"
		His frustration during this period underlies "Baker Street," which took its name from the London street where he often stayed in a friend's flat.
		And the final resolution of his legal and financial hassles accounts for the understated exhilaration of the song's last verse: "When you wake up it's a new morning/ The sun is shining, it's a new morning/ You're going, you're going home."
		At first it was part of the melody, Gerry said, and he reckoned he'd sing it.

		After "Baker Street" became a huge international success -- reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US -- Rafferty's next single, "Right Down the Line," peaked at #12, and the City to City album from which they were culled went platinum and topped the US album chart.

		His career long predated that fixture of Top 40 radio, however; indeed, by the time he cut "Baker Street" Rafferty had already been a member of two successful groups, the Humblebums and Stealers...
		His father was deaf but still enjoyed singing, mostly Irish rebel songs, and his early experience of music was a combination of Catholic hymns, traditional folk music, and '50s pop music.
		They'd established themselves in Glasgow, and were then approached by Transatlantic, one of the more successful independent record labels in England at the time, and signed to a recording contract.

		The year of 1978 brings us one of my all time favorites, Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street." This song captivated me when I first heard it and it has never let me go.
		Suprisingly, this song never made it to number one, being denied that spot by Andy Gibb's "Shadow Dancing." The center point of the song is the saxophone, and I found this interesting blurb about the solo:
		The Foo Fighters did a pretty good cover of this song, putting a grunge twist to it and replacing the saxophone with guitar.
