Gerry Rafferty Dead At 63

The hits keep on coming this week. First actor Pete Postlethwaite , now Scottish singer-songwriter Gerry Rafferty has died after a long illness. He was 63.

Don't remember Rafferty? I bet you remember his hit Baker Street, truly one of the greatest songs of the 70s. Six minutes of pure mellow bliss. According to The Guardian, that one song still netted him 80,000 pounds annually. Not a bad legacy. I know I'll never get tired of listening to it on a Sunday morning.
