If there's a song I hate, yet love, it's Bakerstreet - which means it's a real song, as only real music touches me like that!
Sad way to go like that at such an age!

"Baker Street" remains a classic piece of late 70's British brilliance. Sad...
More Peace.

I was never a fan of the sax, but it took Baker Street and B*tch by the Stones to gain acceptance. I can only imagine the thoughts of other successful musicians/bands that year, upon hearing the passion in Baker Street, and inspiration it created!

I remember putting coins and one of those small cafe jukeboxes in the late 70s in New Zealand to hear this song..
It was so popular in fact that once it was off the charts some NZ band recorded a cover of it and it was number one again!
I love the whole Baker Street album...
