The Story of... 'Baker Street' by Gerry Rafferty

Gerry Rafferty's 'Baker Street' inspired a boom in saxophone solos in the late 1970s, and it remains one of the all-time greatest soft rock songs of all time.

He was regularly travelling between his family home in Paisley and London, where he often stayed at a friend's flat on Baker Street.

Everybody was suing each other, so I spent a lot of time on the overnight train from Glasgow to London for meetings with lawyers. I knew a guy who lived in a little flat off Baker Street. We'd sit and chat or play guitar there through the night.

I can imagine him sitting on the train, looking out the window, musing about his life.
