Gerry Rafferty is dead at 63. Along with Seals and Crofts' "Summer Breeze," little else transports me back to the 1970s more quickly than Rafferty's "Baker Street" and "Right Down the Line." Both were great songs with strong lyrics and easy-on-the-ear grooves. It can't be said that he was cut down in the prime of life, but it is always sad to hear of the passing of someone who made a mark on the popular culture, if only because it reminds us of how old we are all getting.
Now I'm in the mood for one of those "Mellow Hits of the Seventies" Time-Life infomercials.
