Winding your way down Baker street....

One of my favourite ever songs. Wish I knew what it was about?

Sherlock Holmes?

[Simonet]

Particularly sad when a real talent leaves us.

[Emerson Crane]

What a loss. A real talent sadly missed, just listen to the tune "Whatevers written in your heart" on Youtube and tell me thats not a work of genius.

Farewell Gerry

Something about his hatred of stardom, apparently.

Ironic that it made him very famous then.

[Emerson Crane]

Have a look at the rest of his back catalogue, Stuck in the middle with you, stuff he did with Stealers Wheel and the Humblebums. He wasn't just about Baker Street. Which actually wasn't one of his best pieces of work.

[Jah Lush]

Probably died of acute liver failure. He was major imbiber of the sauce.

Not always the ones with the most 'hits' are the 'best'.

Not exactly a hidden gem - it sold over a million copies, and featured in one of the most notorious movie scenes ever!

Wasn't aware I said it was a "hidden gem" simply said look further than Baker Street, and I am aware of its inclusion in that film.
