The TOP ( 1 HIT ) wonders that never made it BIG! - Any Era Any Genre - post here! TOOL1: For me ait has to be Gerry Rafferty (Pronounced "Jerry"- Song: "Right down the line." from the album titled "City tio City" VIDEO - There is not much out there of him live, and for now, "Right down the line" is nowhere to be found sadly. I believe he deserved much more credit for his work than recieved. I turn people on to this song in the "music" chat who never heard it or of him and are really happy I turned them on, great stuff! R.I.P. Gerry! The song is "Get it right nex time." it can be seen here - There is another song I like by him and there is a video for that from his official YouTube channel here -https://www.youtube.com/c/gerryrafferty/videos At least you can get an idea of who is was and how he performed., Now some may that his song "Baker Street" is his best but, for me it most certainly has to be "Right down the lkine." I never really clicked with his Baker street song, don't know why... Google reports this on his death: Rafferty died of liver failure at the home of his daughter Martha in Stroud, Gloucestershire, on 4 January 2011. A requiem mass was held for Rafferty at St Mirin's Cathedral in his native town of Paisley on 21 January 2011. The mass was streamed live over the Internet. Now, what is your? PLEASE provide LINKS! Thanks! (Edited by TOOL1)  evergreendr: G1...I actually post 'Right Down the Line' by Gerry a lot on here. I'll post 'No Rain' by Blind Mellon. Band whose Singer died too young. RIP Shannon Hoon. All I can say is that my life is pretty plain I like watching the puddles gather rain And all I can do is just pour some tea for two And speak my point of view, but it's not sane It's not sane [Chorus] I just want someone to say to me "I'll always be there when you wake" You know, I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today So stay with me and I'll have it made (I'll have it made) [Verse 2] And I don't understand why I sleep all day And I start to complain that there's no rain And all I can do is read a book to stay awake And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape Escape Escape Escape [Solo] [Verse 3] All I can say is that my life is pretty plain You don't like my point of view You think that I'm insane It's not sane It's not sane [Chorus] I just want someone to say to me (no oh oh oh) "I'll always be there when you wake" (Y-yeah, yeah) You know, I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today So stay with me and I'll have it made [Harmonization Outro] (I'll have it made) Oh and I'll have it made (I'll have it made) And I'll have it made (I'll have it made) Oh, lord oh no no You know I'm really I'm-a really gonna have it made (I'll have it made) Yeah, you know I'll have it made (I'll have it made) Ohh ohh oh ohh (I'll have it made) Ohh ohh oh ohh (I'll have it made) Ohh ohh oh ohh (I'll have it made) Ohh ohh oh ohhh, h, h, h, h, h, h TOOL1: Yah I remember that song, but I always thoiught it was from the 60's or 70's and didntlmnow it was so recent, Nice post! Great Song!

(Edited by xsauceyx) TOOL1: Ahaha, But the cool thing is I don't like that song, so Baker street doesn't count, lol.... I don't kniow if you are smart or a smart ass, I tend to lean on the smart side... I said one yah you are ciorrect, you gave me we;;, it looks like 12! and you were supposed to go to YouTube and post the actual song here too, gheez are you the type that buys Ikea shelves assembly requirred, take it out of the box and throw away the instructions, get half way through the assembly then find yourself digging thru the trash looking for the instructions? No? Hmmm. Miss talkin to you! xsauceyx: How do you NOT like Baker Street?? i guess sort of like how i don't care for Rush or Steely Dan. I don't hate but I'd pick something else every time. Fun fact: Rafferty was a member of Stealers Wheels.. known for Stuck in the Middle with You. another one hit. winks TOOL1: I am one of those who cannot listen to many songs oiver and over, growing up Baker street was on the radio all thew time, but right donw the line was not, I always thought that was unfair of KUPD anf KDKB when clearly RDtL is a much more grabby type song.. But hey I get it... xsauceyx: neither of those stations would have played Rafferty. KOPA or KLITE - the 'pop' or easy listening stations or like KZZP. cool that you mentioned the stations .. TOOL1: See I was listening to KUPD and KDKB back in 1977 when they would play songs like those and did, now it is much different... | Music Chat Room 13 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
