I never saw Billy Connolly cry before, but this shows how much love he had for Gerry and that they were still brothers despite thier previous differences.R.i.p. Gerry.

That was 40 minutes spent that enriched my life further. Just like his music did. Thank you Scotland for you sons and daughters who travel the world

Gerry Rafferty was a musical genius. Every song he performed and produced was gold.

Always loved all his songs as a 65 on child in california usa hearing his music on the radio randomley .thought of a few of his songs as a trucker .an looked them up an to hear this story of a great melody maker an singer an so many people who loved him was great .thank you

That was very touching. Gerry had so much God given talent and so much to share with this world. What a voice. So many of his friends really loved and appreciated him. His daughter’s a beautiful woman. He left a great legacy of his music. RIP Gerry.

You really k n e w g e r r y? T e a r s are p o o l i n g in my eyes. Like he said all the best people do it.. I love blood and Glory with a banjo accompaniment giving it an authentic Civil War vibe over here in America. I've played right down the line as a wedding song at five different weddings. He was just as great a songwriter, as he was singer and musician. I will play and sing his songs to my last breath. Thank you Mr Nathan it was like getting a word from him I appreciate the contact. God bless you and yours. Much love from Sarasota Florida over on the Gulf Coast. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2023

Rest In Peace, Gerry. We miss you very much.

I still remember those days back to 1976 when Gerry surprised the whole world with his majestic album : city to city, for Casablanca my birth town Gerry rafferty became a household name, a lot of Moroccoans realised what a genius was at work. RIP Gerry we'll always love and admire you that's for sure.

He certainly gave us his best. A voice so angelic. Like a piece of heaven on earth.

Thanks for giving me closure and more understanding on this beautiful soul. Peace to the family.

I love these Gerry Rafferty memories. Thank you very much!

How sad Billy!!! Held my tears till now..

Every time I hear "what ever's written in your heart" I must cry, dont't know why... maybe because of Jerry, being very underestimated, maybe because it tells something about my own life with the person I really love... it moves me.... He loved to drink... so do I.... and that's allright.... Learning to play the piano at 57.... I will play Gerry's songs

I'm glad that Gerry and Joe reunited for Gerry's "Life Goes On" album. Joe always was the best harmonizer.

Harmony is truly wonderful, and also when we expand our understanding of it like in dissonance and also other cultures! He was/is great!

I got really touched. I dont do that often. But when Billy Connolly did, so did i.

He was much much more than “Bakers street “, !

Thanks for your wonderful music Gerry. Peace.

Loved all his stuff...from beginning to end. A true talent. Provided a soundtrack to many people’s lives. As good & relevant today as he was in the '70's & '80's...listen to his music almost every day. And how proud he must now listening to Martha...wonderful...❤️

I'll bet he's smiling down on us from Heaven..listening to us listening to his music.....

My God, Billy, I had been holding up my tears until then...

😔 what a sad moment…

Yesterday I listened to Gin Blossoms New Miserable Experience Doug Hopkins a tormented genius succumbed to alcoholism. Today Gerry. Two great songwriters. Their legacies preserved in their songs.

Soo many great songs hidden away on albums, all should give his albums a listen, you'll find GOLD and MoonLight.

Genius has walked among us...RIP

thats the first time i ever seen billy cry he must miss him terribly

I think I missed something in between Part 1 and Part 2 ... the bulk of Gerry's recording career is missing!

You're right. Part one stops with Stealers Wheel recording their debut album and Part two continues with Tom Robinson talking about Gerry's final album 'Life Goes On'. A gap of more than 30 years.

Thanks so much ~☀️

He left us a beautiful gift.......

Where have the other parts gone??

Gerry Rafferty also wasn't afraid of change as far as getting into different genres of music is concerned. On his final album, it's obviously more 'gospel' type; and I'm not putting him down for that. When I saw Billy Connolly cry, that showed me how much he truly loved Gerry, as if he was like brother to him, in spite of their past differences musically. My biggest regret is not hearing about Gerry earlier prior to his death. I hope that his legacy lives on. Sure, he had his frailties and dark side, but that's of course part of being human. My condolences to all of his family members and friends. Gerry Rafferty, rest in peace, and I hope to meet you in the afterlife.

Loads of love ,a treasure ❤ x

Scottish legend

😢

this is the final part not part II

Mr. Kaiser, I read your statement. You must be a sad man to show your contempt for the musical compostions Mr. Rafferty has left us. I feel sorry for you. I feel I'm a better man from the joy Terry's music gave me.

I see "spell check" screwed up my text where I wrote Gerry, for some reason, "it" changed Gerry to Terry. Only God knows why.

You sir haven't a clue about Gerry Rafferty and his family dynamics. Get a clue.

To say "he was a rascal, but he was our rascal" doesn't exonnerate him at all. I've no idea what type of person he was. But if there were negative things to say aout him, then they stand. You can't try to overlook them by saying things like "he was OUR rascal". It doesn't matter how wide a (fake) smile billy connolly tries to put on it.
