City to City is one of the best albums ever, ever, ever. Bummer...http://www.spinner.com/2011/01/04/gerry-rafferty-baker-street-stealers-wheel-dies/ (http://www.spinner.com/2011/01/04/gerry-rafferty-baker-street-stealers-wheel-dies/)

Sad loss of an under appreciated talent.  :(
I hope this guy has a biography written about him as there is scant information about. Not even a website.
He must have a fanbase somewhere ?

I have a friend who's dad was once in a group who supported Stealers Wheel. Apparently one of the members of Stealers were criticizing the singing of his dad's band backstage and having overheard him his dad went up and promptly slugged him in the mouth. My friend has played me some of his dad's old recording converted from 8 tracks and they sound very Smiley Smile like.
