Released in 1978 on the album City to City, Gerry Rafferty’s 'Baker Street' quickly became a worldwide hit. The track is best known for its unforgettable saxophone riff, performed by Raphael Ravenscroft, which has become one of the most iconic solos in pop and rock history.

The song takes its name from the London street where Rafferty often stayed during a turbulent period of his life. Its lyrics reflect feelings of frustration, searching for direction, and longing for change, while the lush production blends rock, pop, and jazz influences.

'Baker Street' reached No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart, earning Rafferty the prestigious Ivor Novello Award. Decades later, it remains a timeless classic, celebrated for its haunting atmosphere and legendary saxophone line.
