This is the most recognized sax solo in the world.

[graemey]

This is the single version with a very abridged sax outro. The album version is almost two minutes longer. I always feel short-changed hearing this version.

[dagmar.]

Love this song. Especially the sax solo. In 1972 Gerry Rafferty was in the Scottish folk rock band Stealers Wheel & had a big hit with "Stuck In The Middle With You". Later on, he went out on his own & then had the big hits "Baker's Street", "Right Down The Line" & "Night Owl".

[HRConsultant_Jeff]

the album has a much longer instrumental ending that just carries it to another level.

[geraldjensen]

If this doesn't blow you completely away, nothing will...the saxophone gets all the attention, but the guitar riff at the end is SPECTACULAR...

[NoxiousRob]

Gerry started off in a Scottish folk duo called the Humblebums, his partner was a certain Billy Connolly who played banjo before going on to become our most famous comedian.

Gerry went on to form the band Stealers Wheel, who had a few UK hits in the early 70s, the most famous of which was Stuck In The Middle With You, which will probably be best known to most Americans as the track that featured in the famous scene in Reservoir Dogs when Mr Blonde slices off the cop's ear.

He went on to have a successful solo career, with Baker Street being his biggest hit. Sadly, he had a long term struggle with alcoholism and it eventually took it's toll when he passed away aged 63.

I can smell the summer of '78 when I hear this!

[steverichmond]

I played at a gig with Gerry Rafferty then went for drink with him and his band, two days later I was still drinking. Scottish legend. Nice guy... died of booze. Big mate of Billy Connolly.

[paladino]

Rafferty not only wrote, arranged and sang the song, he did in fact also write the sax solos, the most famous sax solos in music history. Research it the song has been licensed by 100s of sources for 40 years because of that sax solo Rafferty wrote.

[nolaspeaker]

Nobody ever mentions "Get it right next time" It's so funky!

[SaverioP]

Steelers Wheel is the band, and they had a hit called "Stuck in the Middle With You" .
Great song also worth a reaction.

[richardcramer]

This is the shortest version of Bakers Street I've ever heard. The famous group Gerry was with before going solo was Stealers Wheel whose big hit in 1972 was "Stuck in the Middle With You'. If you've seen Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs you will recognize the song (it's played while one of the crooks is torturing the cop). That's why Gerry was visiting London (Lawsuit against record company when he quit Stealers Wheel). While visiting London from Scotland he would stay at a friends house on Bakers Street (famous residence of Sherlock Holmes in the books). It's his friend (another musician) that wants to give up the booze, one night stands and move to a small town.

Gerry Rafferty was a brilliant musician. Baker Street was incredible !! R I P Gerry.

[mowglieneil]

I will always remember this song as i was courting my girlfriend, now my wife of 45 years and this brings me back to wonderful times for us.

[RobertMichaelStewart]

I lived on Baker Street when this song came out.... An all time classic!

[rkreisher]

I had to laugh at the intro. I have seen 4 of your reaction videos so far, I finally hit the subscribe button as this video started.

[Eyyoh]

You guys should hear: "Right Down The Line" from Gerry Rafferty, too.

[correctlyrics]

Sultry sultry sultry sax!!!!
As soon as you hear that sax, you stop and say, " ohh..."

[thejigantics]

The arrangement and production on this track often gets overlooked. Its excellent as is the composing, singing, sax, guitar et al

[aidencox]

I'm an 80++ year old Englishman who's been into music all his life. Gerry has a special section in my collection, not only for his phenomenal music but because he never sold out to "the business" / dirty con club that ran most of the music biz in the day. Take a look at a compilation Gerry Rafferty - The Very Best Of, released 1995. All he was is there - a wildly under appreciated performer outside the UK.
