The sax player is Raphael Ravenscroft - he appeared with a lot of acts as a session player (Pink Floyd, for one)

My first trip to London, and first time using a subway system, I found my wat to Madame Tussauds and back to my lodging. In the subway I looked across and saw I was at the Baker Street Station and had to take a picture. This is an amazing song.

Raphael Ravenscroft played the sax solo on Baker Street. RIP

Something I've always loved about this song is that there are several different melodies, yet they all go together beautifully. Love that sax, don't you?

I know you'll like" Baker's street" .Smooth as hell.The different layers in this song are amazing."Right Down the line".Another good one by Gerry Rafferty.

The whole album should be heard. One of the finest singer songwriters ever. What a voice and lovely melodies. Sadly couldn't handle the fame and died in his early 60s from alcoholism.

Some other classic Rafferty tracks well worth a listen: Night Owl - sooo damn funky, probably my fave song of his. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZqqI0MifYNPRl9Y.html The Royal Mile - a very melodic and sentimental sounding song. kzread.info/dash/bejne/h5qlzLV9fbq8ZM4.html Waiting For The Day - a very groovy and rocking track. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aKeGp5aGopqpfto.html

Everytime I hear the start of Bakers Street it brings a smile to my face, because I know what's about to happen .The riff of that sax is beautiful.The whole song is just enjoyable.What great lyrics, and the vocals are amazing.Brilliantly layered.

This is such a fantastic song. The saxophone in it is pure genius. As soon as it starts, your emotions just take off and fly.

classic 70s! this song is played constantly on radio stations still to this day!! great song.another gerry rafferty "GEM" is"GET IT RIGHT NEXT TIME"for reaction.cool reaction as always leo.; )

Gerry Rafferty-Right Down the Line is excellent as well.

So glad you reacted to this, I had suggested it for the sax appeal a while back. Gerry Rafferty was in a blues group with the biggest Scottish Comedian ever, Billy Connolly. As well as checking out other songs by Gerry, you should check out Billy on your other channel. The guy is a living legend and was good friends with Robin Williams.

"You know he did that before. It's like a little hypnotosis thing you can do, to lure the women in."

Musicians ALWAYS get the girls, LOL!!

I always loved this one- Surprisingly deep lyrics for such a poppy tune... You've heard that sax all over the place- It's been sampled, it's been used in TV commercials, it's probably been used in a movie soundtrack or two... Bill Clinton played sax- You know HE did it for the nookie...

'Where've I heard that sax?' Everywhere. It's easily one of the most iconic and recognisable pieces of saxophone music ever recorded.

My parents used to play this so it always gives me a deep sense of nostalgia despite the story... and the music is just killer in every way and the sax is so much more badass than a lot of the sax for the time. The story resonates too, especially with that music. It's a perfect song, really.

That's Raphael Ravenscroft playing the alto sax, and perhaps one of if not the most iconic sax riff in rock music. He passed away a few years ago, and we sadly lost Gerry back in about 2011. Check out more of Rafferty's music - he has a lot of great songs, with very layered music. Great reaction!

Actually...the first time I heard this song I was a teenage girl. I loved the sax and his voice, but the lyrics and mood escaped me. It's one of those songs that seriously grow on you when maturity sets in. It's a brilliant piece.

Incredible song, always loved it, it's so honestly tragic and human about how difficult it can be who we really want to be. I remember working a job that was killing me, struggling with a relationship, and trying to "drink the night away, and forget about everything." "When you wake up it's a new morning... but you're going home.." Song absolutely nails the feeling of being lost and hopeful 'tomorrow' will treat you better, while wasting away the 'todays'.

Great classic 👌 Especially on a snowy day in the northeast. Befitting for the current state of things in NYC. Love this inspiring reaction video right now 👍

Raphael Ravenscroft's sax was one of the best instrumentation on any song ever and Baker Street an iconic masterpiece.
