Gerry suffered with alcoholism and depression throughout his life and this heartfelt track was written for his wife Carla Ventilla who he met in 1965. She spent a large part of their marriage helping Gerry through his issues but in the end it finally got too much for Carla and they divorced in 1990, twelve years after he wrote this for her. RIP Gerry, a fine musician.
Love this song! “Right down the line!” Isn’t his voice listenable! I could listen all day! I found myself liking all of his songs! I would say right away “Oh that’s Gerry Rafferty”and immediately began liking it and of course singing along!
When this song came out, I was 19! Had my whole life ahead of me! Now at 63, when I listen to this song( which I Love). I wonder to myself. " Where did the time go!" Great reaction guys as always!
He was the singer for a band called Stealers Wheel, a one hit wonder with a great song called "Stuck in the Middle with You." I think you've already reacted to it.
Rafferty was one of those rare musicians who didn't want the fame - just wanted to make music. Such a tragic loss. A few more of his Songs you might enjoy, "To Each And Every One of You", "City to City", "Home and Dry", "Night Owl", "Family Tree", "Sleep Walking" and "Wise as a Serpent".
Another amazing Gerry Rafferty song is "Get It Right Next Time." It is the grooviest vibe ever! I consider it my personal theme song. Whenever I feel like giving up I play it for myself!
I just turned 60, and this was the music of my teens. I am so glad to see you both enjoying the old music! This is why old people like me say today's music just isn't the same!
Scottish singer Gerry Rafferty wrote and released this song in 1978. It was the third release from his album City to City. This was the follow up to Baker Street. Beautiful song with great vocals and a wonderful melody. This was popular on the contemporary pop Billboard. It made it to Number 1 in the US and Number 5 on Canada. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
My era, loved Gerry Rafferty!! His voice is amazing!! More 80s Level 42 Something about you. Jay will love the bass, bass player is one of the best Mark King
I agree with your Level 42 recommendation. I lived in London in 1986 and where ever you went, Level 42 was playing. I bought the Lessons In Love CD (the new format that was replacing vinyl records) at Virgin Records where I met a relative new-comer, Daniel Day Lewis, who was there promoting his National Theatre play, The Futurists. The Pretenders Chain Gang began playing and when he sang along, DDL really belted out, "For making us paaahhhhhrt!" I digress, but that memory is always tied to my Level 42 CD because DDL signed the case. I saw Level 42 at Wembley Stadium in December 1986. Great times and wonderful country to visit.
This is the song of summer, late 70's as a kid ridin' in the car with the windows down, at the beach, camping, at the water park, being on vacation. Just so mellow and breezy. Lawdy the memories.
This song came out in the late 70’s, I was pre-teen, and it was one of my favourite songs. It brings back so many fond memories. I’ve only been following you guys for a month now and I’ve been catching up on all your content (so many reactions) and you make my day better. Thank you both! 😊
I know you once reacted to Al Stewart's 'Year of the Cat'. I wonder if you could take a little time to react to another of Al Stewart's priceless gems from the 70s. The song is called 'Time Passages', and if you like saxophones and clarinets, that's a song for you.😊
Wife here..Of coarse Loooove Baker Street..and Steeler's Wheel..!!..But.., this is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE 💯 from Gerry Raff erty..!!..The instrumentation and voice as well as lyrics and even how he sings it.., Just Perfection in a Soft Rock Hit!!...Very Mellow and Chill!!...Thanks GuysFor Reacting to this..The Layering and Tricks.., True Perfection!!!..❤
Please try Rickie Lee Jones - she's such a unique singer and songwriter that I know you both will like. Her first album hit in 1979 and had several hits on it, and the one that made her famous was "Chuck E's in Love." Check that one out, and then you'll be eager to hear the rest of her hits. Trust me! p.s., she had four Grammy nominations off that album, and won "Best New Artist."
Great song. May I also recommend "Home and Dry", "Night Owl", and "Days Gone By" should you do Mr. Rafferty again? I also noticed you haven't yet reacted to the OTHER really famous "Gerry" in music history, that being Gerry Marsden of the British Invasion group Gerry and the Pacemakers. Their signature hit is "Ferry Cross the Mersey", though they had many other classic songs.
Yes to Gerry and the Pacemakers, another band from Liverpool besides the Beatles. Would Jay already know "You’ll Never Walk Alone"? It is a famous sports anthem.
OMG I watched your little girl dancing to Prince and it brought back such memories of my younger daughter when she was around that age. She would do this in her room or make the bed of my pickup truck her “stage”, until she saw us watching and she would do that embarrassed withdrawal just like your daughter. She’s in her 30s now and I’m past 70. Thank you for bringing a sentimental tear to an old man’s eye. Great choice on the Gerry Rafferty song. Was one of mine and my wife’s favorites when we were dating in 1978. Married the next year and still together 43 years later. You took me on two sentimental journeys today.
This is another great song by Mr. Rafferty. A fantastic artist who died before his time, unfortunately. You guys should also look into his other big solo hit. "Get it Right Next Tme"
Another mellow & chill song by Gerry Rafferty is Get it Right Next Time. Has his mellow sound but different than Baker Street & Right Down the Line. I just love his vibe.
I love this song. Over the years this song would usually be playing on the radio when I was either on my way to or leaving from my visiting my extended family. It's been also a constant when spent those some evenings working late at the office. The radio would be on a particular station and this was one of the songs that always played.
The secret to this song is that is so delicate that upon first listen is seems unassuming and maybe just a "chill" song but truth is that it is an immensely emotional song that is just waiting to catch you when you're alone. Also, it's a patient song; it is waiting to sink into your emotions years later, allowing itself to resonate deeper into your heart. Right Down The Line will just grow and grow its way into you.
My favorite song by Rafferty is "Home and Dry" the entire City to City album is a Masterpiece in my opinion... Give Home and Dry a listen. Great pop song.
If Amber is looking for a band that features the Sax alot, I'd recommend "John Cafferty, and the Beaver Brown band". Songs like; "Tender Years" "Some like it hot" "Garden of Eden" "NYC song" "Pride of Passion" and "Mariya". All bangers! *They were also the band who's music was 100% the soundtrack to the movie "Eddie and the Cruisers". (Pt 1 and 2) You and Jay will absolutely love them. 😃
Glad you got back to Gerry Rafferty. I suggested this song a while ago. I think it was around Valentine's Day. A beautiful song that appears to be simple but is very ‘refined’ with an important meaning. It seems he wanted to honor his wife with this song. "Get it Right Next Time" for your next GR?
Amber & Jay, The *"Steelers Wheel - Stuck In The Middle With You"* reaction you did a year ago is actually Gerry Rafferty singing, even though he's not pictured as the singer in the music video that you watched. (The video was made after Gerry left the band but it's him singing)
He was a founding member of Stealers Wheel, whom you have listened to before.their biggest hit was "Stuck in the Middle with You" in 1973. His solo hits in the late 1970s included "Baker Street", "Right Down the Line"
Finally!!! This song gives me chills!!! Please consider Dan Fogelberg "Same Old Lang Syne" and Donald Fagen "I.G.Y." and "New Frontier". Happy holidays, keep smiling!! 😁🥰😁
@@adallen3 "Same Old Lang Syne" for this time of year should be next choice for Fogelberg, But since Jay likes strings & Amber likes horns "Netherlands" for Jay & "Longer" for Amber would be my next trip down the Fogelberg rabbit hole, than more suggestions to come.
Found your channel via suggested algorithm. Love seeing the younger folks experiencing 'new' music. I've been doing a similar thing at work; listening to new stuff from my younger coworkers. Keep it up!
What I have always liked about Gerry was his voice was so smooth and soothing. You just get lost in the song. They just don't make music like this anymore and I was a teenager that grew up in the 80's and saw and heard some of the best music ever. If you want to have a song that tugs at your heart, give a listen to Red Sovine. Old style country with great story telling.
It was really nice to grow up at a time when meaningful pop/soft rock songs like this were all over the radio, as well as hard rockers, metal, prog, r&b, soul, even disco, you name it!
Love this one from Gerry. I think you guys are due for another Little River Band song. Amber if you like sweet songs with that 70s sound your gonna love " Reminiscing ".
Speaking of Gerry Rafferty, you've already reacted to Stuck In The Middle With You by Steelers Wheel, with him on vocals. You can react to Star by Steelers Wheel.
Love this! I was a Senior in high school when this came out. We really had some amazing artists in the 70’s. I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas!
Unmistakable voice of Gerry Rafferty. Such a smooth, velvet voice. Gerry's lyrics were his own life experiences set to music and are so well put together. This talented man has a huge number of songs that are truly wonderful. Although Baker Street is a classic and threw Gerry into the limelight (which we wasn't fond of.!) he is so much more than just Baker Street - East to Talk, Don't Speak of my Heart, Night Owl. Welcome to Hollywood, The Royal Mile, Winters Come, Whatevers Written in your Heart, Don't Give Up On Me & Shipyard Town to name but a few......try them, you won't regret it. RIP Gerry.
Woo! So glad you guys did this one! I was surprised it hadn't been done yet. This is my fave of his. Such a beautiful song, melody, music, and the story/lyric, ugh...so damn smooth and good!!!! I can play this song over and over!!! It was used a lot on shows it got quite trendy for a while too. Great song!!!
we women should strive to live up to this high praise and adoration 🙏
Gerry suffered with alcoholism and depression throughout his life and this heartfelt track was written for his wife Carla Ventilla who he met in 1965. She spent a large part of their marriage helping Gerry through his issues but in the end it finally got too much for Carla and they divorced in 1990, twelve years after he wrote this for her. RIP Gerry, a fine musician.
😔 👊
Spot on. He's a much overlooked musician. Plagued by the booze. His album City to City is a masterpiece
Never would have guessed that 😮
This song was from the 70's
This was my favorite song back then
He was a genius RIP gerry
How can you NOT love this song? The vibes are immaculate.
Also, without question one of the greatest love songs ever written.
Love this song! “Right down the line!” Isn’t his voice listenable! I could listen all day! I found myself liking all of his songs! I would say
right away “Oh that’s Gerry Rafferty”and immediately began liking it and of course singing along!
Fully agree.
Agreed.
It's too bad alcohol had such a grip on him.
Lush. The vocals are lush.
When this song came out, I was 19! Had my whole life ahead of me! Now at 63, when I listen to this song( which I Love). I wonder to myself. " Where did the time go!" Great reaction guys as always!
63 here too and I was a Senior in high school when this came out. Great times and memories for sure 😊
@@70sladyalways25 👍💯
Right there with you pal. The older you get the faster time goes by.
68 here... 😉Think I musta' Blinked... Doesn't seem that long ago👴
Yep. I also am 63 and remember this song from college days.
He was the singer for a band called Stealers Wheel, a one hit wonder with a great song called "Stuck in the Middle with You." I think you've already reacted to it.
Nice to know that I'm not alone in remembering that. Keep rockin friend.
good memory- it was on Sep 20, 2021.
I definitely remember that song
I was about to say the same thing, but I saw you did it for me. 😁
I didn't realize he was part of Stealers Wheel, but you're right, and it's obvious now that I know.
30 years together and my wife still breaks down when I sing her this song!😉✌️🙏❤️
Aww how sweet!! ❣️☺️🙏
You might want to stop singing lol sorry couldnt resist .
In the 70s there where 1000s of songs like this good song
Rafferty was one of those rare musicians who didn't want the fame - just wanted to make music. Such a tragic loss. A few more of his Songs you might enjoy, "To Each And Every One of You", "City to City", "Home and Dry", "Night Owl", "Family Tree", "Sleep Walking" and "Wise as a Serpent".
Every song mentioned and then some. They are all great songs
@@oakhillfound847 And then some: "The Royal Mile" "Moonlight and Gold" "Days Gone Down" "Whatever's Written in your Heart" and "The Right Moment"
Amen!!
Oh definitely! My all time favourite is probably "Night Owl".
For great sax, also "Island" and "Take the money and run"
A pure Love song from a Man who finally woke up to the the Woman in his life, realising what she really means to him.
Another amazing Gerry Rafferty song is "Get It Right Next Time." It is the grooviest vibe ever! I consider it my personal theme song. Whenever I feel like giving up I play it for myself!
Seriously, there's magic in that one. Pure perseverance in a song.
Yes... that's a really good one.
Holy cow! Just listened to it. What a great vibe. Thank you for sharing that.
Oh yes, my fav Rafferty song!, i think has a better sax track too!
My fav Rafferty song! The bass player in the studio...
Full blast while dressing for my wedding 25 yrs ago. Chills. Still.
Oops! My wife just gently reminded me it’s been 28 years. 🤪🤣
@@crazyfingers19 😂😂 Women make time stand still for us guys. Tell her that the next time you lose count.😉👍

I just turned 60, and this was the music of my teens. I am so glad to see you both enjoying the old music! This is why old people like me say today's music just isn't the same!

I'll take two buckets pse :)
This has been me and my wife's song for over 30 years. I sung this to her on our 25th Anniversary. The most perfect love song:)
In my opinion this is the perfect love song, just sweet and not overdone. Makes me emotional every time.
Precisely!
What an absolute treat you are in for.
This is a masterpiece.
Enjoy guys.
Love to you both from the UK
UK is not a country
My era, loved Gerry Rafferty!! His voice is amazing!! More 80s Level 42 Something about you. Jay will love the bass, bass player is one of the best Mark King

Yes. The memories.
Me too! Summer days in the 70s
One of the sweetest songs ever written.
70s GOLD 4 SURE
Man...this song had so much radio air play back in the late 70s, and deseveritly so!
He really shined in his solo work. Fantastic song.
Absolutely love love. Love this song! Gerry Rafferty had some good songs and this is top of the list for me!
💯👍
“Home and Dry” is my favorite song by Gerry Rafferty!
I love Gerry Rafferty. This is a great song.
I am an old 70s rocker chick but his City to City album is in my top 10 list, the whole album is excellent!

I've always loved her cover of Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying.

Let's not forget "Baker Street!"
I Think Get it Right Next Time was THE BEST.

This song was another good one for Gerry Rafferty, I loved all his songs!👍👏👏👏♥️♥️
My favorite song by Rafferty is "Home and Dry" the entire City to City album is a Masterpiece in my opinion...
Give Home and Dry a listen. Great pop song.
One of the most beautiful love songs you'll ever hear!
Love this. Whole album has a story behind it, for me. This whole album is lovely and this ome of my favourite songs on it.
If Amber is looking for a band that features the Sax alot, I'd recommend "John Cafferty, and the Beaver Brown band". Songs like; "Tender Years" "Some like it hot" "Garden of Eden" "NYC song" "Pride of Passion" and "Mariya". All bangers!
*They were also the band who's music was 100% the soundtrack to the movie "Eddie and the Cruisers". (Pt 1 and 2)

when i think of this song I always thinkof little river band as well.
One of my all time favorite love songs. So beautiful!
Home and Dry is another great song
Classic Gem! Never gets old, always sounds just as good as the first time I heard it!!
That's called Classic Rock!!!
Love Gerry Rafferty and thank you both for reacting to his beautiful song!! ❤❤
Speaking of Gerry Rafferty, you've already reacted to Stuck In The Middle With You by Steelers Wheel, with him on vocals. You can react to Star by Steelers Wheel.
Another GREAT song! It is soo beautiful and romantic..This song is BUTTER!
I actually saw Gerry Rafferty way back when he partnered with Billy Connelly in the Humblebums, he had an amazing career. ✌️
Such a AMAZING BEAUTY is this song ❤
Love this! I was a Senior in high school when this came out. We really had some amazing artists in the 70’s. I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas!
Unmistakable voice of Gerry Rafferty. Such a smooth, velvet voice. Gerry's lyrics were his own life experiences set to music and are so well put together. This talented man has a huge number of songs that are truly wonderful. Although Baker Street is a classic and threw Gerry into the limelight (which we wasn't fond of.!) he is so much more than just Baker Street - East to Talk, Don't Speak of my Heart, Night Owl. Welcome to Hollywood, The Royal Mile, Winters Come, Whatevers Written in your Heart, Don't Give Up On Me & Shipyard Town to name but a few......try them, you won't regret it. RIP Gerry.
Pure 70s. Gravel road tune...in my day. I graduated in 80. This tune came out in 78.
The songs "Get It Right Next Time" and "Days Gone Down" are two excellent choices from Mr. Rafferty
I think this song, defines Amber.... IF she loves you with all her heart, you have her for life.... Don't mess this up Rob. Your a lucky man.
The most beautiful love song! I get tears in my eyes whenever I listen to it.
Another one that is on my playlist, Like so many great songs it's a beautiful love story. Love it
Happy to be the first one here! :)
Absolutely love this song... if love songs were people, this would be their love song... love your reaction!
Woo! So glad you guys did this one! I was surprised it hadn't been done yet. This is my fave of his. Such a beautiful song, melody, music, and the story/lyric, ugh...so damn smooth and good!!!! I can play this song over and over!!! It was used a lot on shows it got quite trendy for a while too. Great song!!!
This song... always... always bring tears to my eyes... so heartfelt and pure.
Awesome song! Love his music!
If you're okay with this genre, I would recommend "Breaking us in two" and "Stepping out" by Joe jackson.
Great suggestions!
His best two songs IMHO.
This is my favorite from Gerry..glad you liked it..🙏
Gerry was the lead vocalist of Steelers wheel and Stuck in the middle with you was their biggest hit
