Every time I hear. Jerry Rafferty I always keep thinking of myself. Why in the hell isn't this guy in the rock and roll Hall of Fame?

Gerry is one of the greatest singer songwriters of all time.. way underrated .. RIP good sir

Gerry Rafferty could have been huge in America but he refused to tour extensively in the US. I don’t know if he ever played any US gigs. Apparently he mistrusted fame and didn’t want to become that famous. It’s a shame because his music and singing was very popular in the seventies. His smooth vocals and good songs are admired and enjoyed by millions of fans including me. I’m glad to see you agree that Gerry Rafferty was great! Never to be forgotten. RIP Gerry Rafferty

He was also the front man for Stealer's Wheel, who did "Stuck In The Middle With You". So he was really behind two iconic seventies songs.

I love the hypnotic bassline on this one. "Night Owl" would be a good next pick, or, for a deeper cut, "Wise as a Serpent".

Knee deep in teen angst in the late 70s. the music of Gerry Rafferty saved me, especially this song.

It's my Uncle Gerry! (No, not really, but I love it when I see that someone else has my last name. Not that common in my day-to-day world). Check out "Right Down the Line", it's so sweet.

OMG, what an incredible vibe. Haven't heard this in decades. Spectacular!! This song grabs you and doesn't let go!!

Like Baker Street, I love the use of saxophone again. It's a fine sounding jam. Right Down The Line was great too.

''Bring that saxophone back!"" Love it. Should try Gerry Rafferty Night owl too. Lovely reaction x

Gerry is one of my fav songwriters of all time. So many great songs. Unusual to this song is that there is no chorus, just verses.

I am so glad that younger generations are getting an appreciation for this underrated and often forgotten song smith. As I watched, I heard you say, 'bring the sax back...' and I was like, yeah, just wait a minute! It's coming! :-) I remember this song when I was a kid, loved the music of course but the meaning of the lyrics didn't hit me until MUCH later in life. This song can't be played loud enough for me.

Remembering hearing "Right Down the Line" 42 years ago, it became my favorite Rafferty song.

I forgot how much I love this song. Thank you!!!

I totally forgot about this song. It got massive air-play, when I was a kid. A great road song. Thanks, for bringing this one back!

Two more songs from him I would recommend are "Right Down the Line" and "Days Gone Down".

I m a fan of Gerry since i was 20 he s the best his music is perfect

Gerry was brilliant 👏

That City to City album was great! "Whatever's Written in Your Heart" is a lovely song, too.

Love Gerry Rafferty this is a fab song, “Right Down the Line” or “Night Owl” are two other big hits songs of his.

My favourite Gerry Rafferty track…..love the rise and fall.

This is my favorite of Gerry Rafferty’s songs. It always strikes me as hopeful and optimistic. He was a great songwriter and performer. I was glad to listen to your reaction again tonight a year or so later. Thanks ‘ Jamel. Happy New Year!

1969 Gerry and Billy Connolly Where a folk band The Humblebums Released a couple of albums, One of their songs, Her Father didn't like me anyway. Is simple perfect and a beautiful Songs on a Par with The Beatles golden slumbers, Gerry Rafferty and Billy Connolly hard to believe the path that lay ahead What a story What a life 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🗝️

I've heard his hits...first time hearing this deep cut. needed those lyrics today...thanks Jamal.

Gerry's music was just a treat for the ears. I know you reacted to his song "Right Down the Line", but the legendary Bonnie Raitt also covered the song, putting her own spin on it.

Rafferty is one of my favorite artists of all time. I own every album from his days with Billy Connolly(comedian) in the Humblebums to Joe Egan(Actor) in Stealers Wheel to his solo recordings. Jamal, you should check out the songs The Ark and The Garden of England from his deep catalog of great songs. Thanks for the reaction.

Gerry´s music will live forever.

Gerry was just one of the finest music men of his tim, and this is just timeless.

Gerry is a fuckin legend 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

So glad you are turning on a new generation to the great poet and minstrel Gerry Rafferty

Mmm that half time shuffle on the drums gets me every time! 🥁 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

Just a great song you don’t here anymore. Thanks Jamal !!

One of the coolest songs ever ! Sometimes I think that in my youth I based everything I did on the premise that if I screwed up it didn't matter because I would "get it right the next time" sometimes there is no next time. So a good song to hear after this is, ITS TOO LATE by Carole King. Women know that when it's too late, it's too late. There's no going back. There's no mulligan for sideways if you get my drift. And that's my final answer!! RIP Gerry Rafferty.

This one of his reminds me of the Atlanta Rhythm Section. One band that gets ignored a lot.

Was hoping you'd react to this, with everyone playing in the studio. Well done.

Boy, listen to that talent and that groove...that's a sound you want...

If he had just toured the US he would've really been acclaimed as one of the best in the business of the 70s but he chose not to but he still was one of the greatest. R.I.P.

Gerry was brilliant!

Such a laid back groove

You have great taste in music Jamel , I've only recently discovered this Gerry track and I'm a brit !! Cheers , Daz , UK

Night Owl was a great follow up to City to City and this song is a highlight. No Foster’s bass just drives the song and Gerry’s lyrics are as honest and cutting as they always are. Great song.

Man I love the sound in this song so much Gerry rafferty is too forgotten about

This grooves so hard. Loved the album since it was released.

"Link is always in the description" Except this time. Another great song from Gerry Rafferty. So much wonderful music that most people have never heard

last year, you did a reaction to Gerry's "Right Down The Line", which is one of my favorite songs of all time, and one of my favorite reactions that you have done. The album it's from is called "City to City" and that entire album is amazing. A heartfelt thank you for doing what you do and bringing great music to all of us.

The sound quality is so much better than the muffled sound in this video of the studio session. In addition to being a great song, the engineering was spot on.

welcome once again my fellow good human to Gerry Rafferty! his music his compositions the band's performances are all incredible I wish you could see him live in a small intimate venue your mine would be blown once again a fellow human being thanks for being a good human and bringing the good music keep up that work fantastic

You can't beat stuck in the middle with you for one of the songs of the 70.s

Love these studio session videos! "..gotta die a little every day, just to try and stay awake..." Wow! "Days Gone Down (You Still Got That Light In Your Eyes)" is another GR one like this. Catchy, tuneful music.

Timeless - you’re so right Sir. This and Baker St ring out from my early teens to the present. Immaculate, groovy and both songs strangely heavy and apocalyptic. Anyway love your reactions thank you!

great song! great lyrics!! rip gerry rafferty!!! ; )

He always reminded me of a cross between supertramp and steely Dan. Loved this song but bakerstreet was the best

I had forgotten about this song. Thank you for the video.

Fanrastic review! Another group with Gerry Rafferty is Steelers Wheel. The song is Stuck In The Middle With You. I have seen comments that he changed popular music. Sad fhat he is gone way too soon. Keep up the great work, and Peace and Love!

Days Gone Down a killer Gerry song.

Genius Gerry. Nuff Said.

I f**king luv this track!

I’d forgotten this one until now! 😮

"Right Down The Line" is my favourite Gerry Rafferty song, worth checking out. Keep up the good work from another good human Harro 😁🤘

There is just something about a Gerry Rafferty song that makes it impossible not to bob your head and tap your feet. This is feel good music.

I remember reading somewhere Billy Connolly mentioned that Gerry had a glass eye and that back in the day for kicks Gerry would "accidentally" bump into old(er) women and let his eye fall to the ground...it was 5 points for a scream & ten if they fainted.

I love, i never ear this song, only baker street.. Thanks

I haven't heard that one in a long time. Great tune!

One of the best "message songs" ever. Rafferty had two others: "The Right Moment" and "Slow Down". And that's just from his solo career.

For a different slant on my brother's music, listen to The Right Moment: always in my top five of his songs. Majestic.

Been waiting for this one! I knew you'd enjoy it.

Dunno why it took a year for this to find me. Oh well. Always loved that line, "Gotta die a little everyday, jus to try to stay awake". Story of my life.

He was a tortured genius! Gone too soon.

Excellent reaction to a good song!

You made a good point towards the end ! Yes we all make mistakes. I have learned from it . Yes can be tough. Don’t you worry don’t you whine you’ll get right next time ! There’s a lot of truth from this song. 💯% all we can do is live & learn & move forward.

Loved this and your enjoyment of it -thanks for posting

In my opinion, his second best song. It's a song you can sit with and think about for some time and has a 1970's "SNL band's second-song near the end of the show" vibe.

Jamal....I STILL love this tune!! ...I remember when it came out.....did not get alot of play.....nothing like Baker Street did.....killer beat! .....yeah love that sax!! ...I like your vids!❤

One of the greatest. Love from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Oh man, I haven't heard this in decades! Loved it! Another one of my favorites is "Right Down The Line", if and when you have time! Thanks Jamel! ;-)

I would time my 8-track to start this song just as I hit the highway when I was a teenager in my 65 GTO. I felt like the king of the world.

Another stellar hit from the late mr. Rafferty.another gem on this same album is the ARK ..GREAT SONG THAT'LL MAKE YA THINK .xoxo

Perfect song, for a perfect reactor

Awesome dude you will love it , peace to over the water. 🙏 from big man ✌✌✌ 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 🎸🎸🎸 👍🏼💯💯👍🏼👍🏼

You always pick the best!! Thank you for this one!! 💯

Please react to Night Owl 🙏 Such amazing lyrics and a heartfelt story behind it! Reminds me of my Dad who always played Gerry Rafferty and left me with his amazing musical tastes.

Good Human & loyal subscriber here! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Oddly, there wasn’t a notification on my end when you uploaded Gerry’s video, wth I had to search this! Gerry is a personal fav of mine (love the hypnotic saxophone in this song!) …so ty Jamel for mentioning it in your video about being hacked. Sooo sorry this happened to you. KZfaq needs to get their sh## together cuz we don’t like our brother Jamel being upset 😢 Let’s all like & share this Gerry Rafferty song so it gets the views it deserves ok?!

one of my favorite artist ever!

This song is powerful Gerry always puts me in a mood his music imo is timeless

My old man's favourite song.

My first ever concert was Gerry Rafferty at the Royal Albert Hall (nightmare venue - especially when you're behind the stage!) 1980. Lousy sound quality and only a view of the back of Gerry's head ... great times! LOL

Cool Track, pretty unique, I'd listen to it again.

Listen to shipyard town and don't give up on me Gerry has loads of great songs and a beautiful voice.

Very cool and underrated tune!

I don’t feel good about sharing this, but I feel that I have to. Gerry Rafferty, like me, was alcoholic, bipolar person. His beautiful , artistic accomplishments and expressions were incredible.

AWESOME Thank you.

This song is my childhood and video

You're very popular Jamel not far of 1 million subscribers,you rock

Con este canal estoy descubriendo grupos de un tiempo en el que la musica aun era la ostia. Gracias.

Hey Man Love It..... Cow Bell Yesssssssssssssssssss Get It Right Next Time, So True !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This one is a classic

What a cool looking 70ies gang as well :)

I love the message

Hey Jamal .. If you liked this, then try the title track from the album it comes from, "Night Owl" .. It's got an official video with a similar look to this, with a great chance to see what each musician is doing .. And the song is just SUPERB ! .. A brilliant piece of music about loneliness .. Cheers, Wayne
