He certainly will be after the end of today - if only he could get royalties in Heaven! |

Marko - you're doing it YET AGAIN.
This was discussed here last night - even before it was reported on the BBC.
Wakey wakey.  |

So are you, why not just ignore the thread? Besides Gerry Rafferty was a legend, he deserves as many threads as possible  |

| Rafferty was very good, but hardly a legend. If he were, his music (not just Baker Street) would have been played as much whilst he was alive as it has been today! |

Not a legend, perhaps, but he made some good music.
Besides he made a comfortable living from royalties from "Baker Street" alone. That song earned him an average income of £80,000 PA, which is not bad. And "Stuck in The Middle with You" was also a nice little earner |
