I visited the rock n roll hall of fame recently and was perplexed why Gerry had not yet been inducted. The City to city album alone should be enough to get him in
Ok Rock n Roll afficiando's tell me, If he doesn't get in then please explain to me why Donna summers is in????????? You ought to be ashamed of yourselves

Very gifted Scottish singer/songwriter and tunesmith with a distinctive voice. He was quite prolific but many of his albums aren't well known. I doubt he'll be considered.

I'm french and yet recently, I only knew the standard "Baker street" as a dusty classic.
In 2020, I really discovered GR and his dark side, his incredible psychology, and i felt in love with his songs. For me, with scene and marketing, at least 15 or even 20 others hits could have been number one. If you have an hour, listen and you'll be subjugated by his talent. Gerry Rafferty forever.

Mr Rafferty should be inducted posthumously,He is And Icon,that has transcended time..he music is still loved, and relished.by generations..all his Songs are a great part o
F our lives,personally I listen to his music though out the day every day,am sure we that love him and his Art,do still make his music an integral part of our lives.
