I like the song, but it would have been better with something else instead of the sax.

Great great song anyway, one of the greatest guitar solos on a hit single ever

three years pass...
The musician behind one of the most recognisable saxophone solos - on Gerry Rafferty's hit Baker Street - has died.

Raphael Ravenscroft, 60, who found fame almost overnight following the release of the 1978 track, died following a suspected heart attack early on Sunday.
He was reportedly paid only £27 for the session with a cheque that bounced while the song is said to have earned Rafferty £80,000 a year in royalties.
In a radio interview in 2011, Ravenscroft said the song annoyed him.
"I'm irritated because it's out of tune," he said.
