 CMT.com : Gerry Rafferty : Biography
Gerry Rafferty was born in Paisley, Scotland in 1947, the son of a Scottish mother and an Irish father.
Billy Connelly was impressed not only with the songs but with their author, and suddenly the Humblebums were a trio.
Rafferty was in the group, then out, then in again as the line-up kept shifting-their first album was a success, the single "Stuck In The Middle With You" a huge hit, but nothing after that clicked commercially, and by 1975 the group was history.

 Gerry Rafferty: Folk Roots Interview (1988)
And then Rafferty – always an intensely private man whose skirmishes with the press tended to be few and far between at the best of times – disappeared.
When Billy and I went our own separate ways it was quite amicable at the time because it was obvious that Billy’s jokes were getting longer and longer and the songs were getting shorter and shorter.
But I’d been on the dole before I met Billy and it was good from the point of view that we travelled light – just an acoustic guitar and a banjo – and for a concert I suppose we got about £100 which was cash in hand.

 Humblebums: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com
Not long after the album's release, budding singer/songwriter Gerry Rafferty [+] (a former member of a beat group called Fifth Column) approached the duo after one of their gigs for feedback on his original songs.
Rafferty's songs soon took a prominent place in their repertoire, which led to friction with Tam Harvey; he departed around half a year into Rafferty's tenure.
Rafferty's material had a more serious bent than Connolly's lighthearted, dryly witty offerings, and Connolly's comedy bits were taking up a large portion of the Humblebums' stage show, to the point where Rafferty wanted him to cut the comedy altogether.
