Oh, it takes me back! I was just in grade school, but it would play over the speakers at the pool I would go to during the summer....yes, does a wounded soul good. Very well said. Simpler times. Fond memories.
Agreed. Great music, I saw Kneel with CSN and solo on ‘Rust Never Sleeps’. But at this point, to quote the immortal Lynrd Skynrd, “ I hope Kneel Young will remember, Southern Man don’t need him around, anyhow.”
I was into all those bands, too, but likely because I listened to the radio a lot, FM mind you, this song played, and played a lot. Sometimes it happens, though, we miss a hit. But now you found it! :)
I inherited a bunch of albums from my uncle and sister (who is eight years older than me) over the years - hundreds. One of them is Rafferty's 'City to City' and so I know this song. I remember recording it on a cassette tape from my turn table. He had such a smooth, soothing guitar sound. Awesome stuff.
I’d like to share my own labor of love... I am separated from my husband - not because we broke up - but because I had to move into my mother’s home in another state to care for her after she had a debilitating heart attack. The last few years have been filled with mishap and grief (as you have all experienced). I wrote this song for my husband just before the world turned upside down. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wGepZUucDxY I miss him and this song post by Mark prompted me to share... take care everyone. Keep speaking the Truth!
It is on the "City to City" album with "Baker Street," which has one of the top 3 saxophone solos I've ever heard. He also did the song "Stuck in the Middle With You" with his band Stealers Wheel.
Thanks for sharing, Mark! I love Gerry Rafferty. I enjoyed punk at the time too, but even in the late 70s, soft rock could be generous and thoughtful. Did you ever listen to Al Stewart? I mean, really listen?
Thank-you, Mark for posting this. It's from a much better time. Better music, too.
How did you not hear that before? Shocker. It's awesome - haven't heard in decades. Thank you! Does a wounded soul good. Best to you.

The late great Gerry Rafferty - the first cassette I ever bought when I was a poor student in Glasgow, his home city I believe.☘️
Damn, he's dead?
Yes, he succumbed to alcoholism.
Ahh, were you as poor as a lad from Kilbarchan?
It's like Wallensky is singing this to me right now. I am suffused with warmth knowing the CDC loves and cares for me
😅😅😅
Hahahahahahahaha hahahhahaha Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha hahahhahaha hahahhahaha Hahahahahahahaha hahahhahaha
Kellianne, Steve, you have impeccable taste. Such that I had to like my own comment upon further examination
I grew up with it too. Even have one of his
Records. His best song “is stuck in the
Middle with You”
FYI
"Stuck in the Middle" came out earlier, right? Because that one I do remember.
But I wasn't listening to pop radio by 1978....
Steeler's Wheel, the tune was about Bob Dylan if I remember correctly.
Yes earlier you can tell by the video
He looks much younger then
Cant say the year tho will look
Up for fun
1972 year.
Better than Kneel Young.
Agreed. Great music, I saw Kneel with CSN and solo on ‘Rust Never Sleeps’. But at this point, to quote the immortal Lynrd Skynrd, “ I hope Kneel Young will remember, Southern Man don’t need him around, anyhow.”
But I hear you that he made some great songs.
Seriously!!!😆🤣 Sr. are you in this planet 🌎 😬 just kidding 😉❤️love this song 👍 thanks 🙏
Well, in 1978, I was into Elvis Costello, Blondie, the Sex Pistols. Not listening to pop radio....
I was into all those bands, too, but likely because I listened to the radio a lot, FM mind you, this song played, and played a lot. Sometimes it happens, though, we miss a hit. But now you found it! :)
My buddy sends me songs that I never heard either…. Sometimes you
Just tend to like what ya like.
I grew up in the 60s 70s there was
All kinds of music playing and great
Time to be alive.,
Ohhhh ok. Wow! It was all over the radio
That explains that 🙃
I was born in 76 and somehow I grown up listening little bit of everything 😬 my mom & aunt listened to music that I didn’t know the singer or bands 🤣👍
Ok, MCM, you are excused from not knowing the song.
You're a wild man Mark?
🤣
Excuses, excuses. Typical behavior of a 1970's Punk Rock head. Oh yeah, speaking of heads, u left out the Talking Heads ... 😎🍺
I heard it and thought it wss garbage.... But I'm glad it's giving people comfort
ahhh that explains it. My musical tastes are very eclectic but I've always been more of an R&B girl.
Yacht rock. Love me some 70's. Also loved the punk
Yacht Rock?
Yes! Look it up on utube or spotify, Pandora.
Always loved this song!

The 70s..... Anaheim Convention Center. Saw Traffic - Stevie Winwood. Wish I'd also seen Blind Faith. Lord don't we need it now.
