Stuck in the middle

Sad to hear the news that Gerry Rafferty has died. He is probably best known for Baker Street with its iconic saxophone riff but my favourite song is Stuck in the Middle with You which he recorded with Stealers Wheel. The song returned to prominence thanks to its use as a backing track to the torture scene in Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs. I remember listening to the song on the radio while doing my paper round in the early 1970s. Reports suggest Rafferty died of acute liver failure, a fate shared by too many of his contemporaries.
