It's lovely As long as it comes from your heart it's wonderful. I want you to know I've got a Facebook tribute page to Gerry Rafferty,

and I posted your video on it right now... I'm trying to collect nice bits and pieces

as much as possible until the 4th of January, the day the great man died....

Look for: "Gerry Rafferty community page - to post whatever you like" on facebook.

Thanks!

[b5i6ll7y]

[LuikSkywalker]

I was expecting Gerry Rafferty - not a cover version. I might have watrched had I been looking for a cover version. I think you should change the vid title. to COVER of ...

[shademotto]

i loved this. fantastic!

[associatesfan]

this is a good cover!

[Ms250959]

If I Couldt Maried your was my Singer.Thanks for the Musik.Tommy-Jo

[JohnAndRowForever]

Alright. Honestly?! You do have a Naturally Good voice. Which is always the best foundation to work/play from. You just need to hold your notes a little bit longer. Don't be so quick to pull away from that mic. Trust me, I know. Your performance will improve 40%...& that ain't bad, because right now, you sound good..GOOD..Not Great..But Good..With Potential. Take care..bye.

[ejo3571]

Very nice, made me sing along.

[bexti]

Respect to you brother for keeping the vibe alive.

[TheMysticVagabond]

great job dude love this tune..

[418cjpaul]

surprisingly good... a pleasant surprise...

[analyzingfunny]

@418cjpaul No doubt. This is really good. Real good, if not a great voice. Nice strong natural singer.

[aupster1]

no offense thats a good cover

[BenUtzervids]

Nice :)

[Magicbrushmurals]

Very nice,Thanks!

[rustycat121]

thanks for sharing...

[ronnied828]

good job bro....love this song, i even liked the fact that you screwed up on the chords there for a couple of seconds there but kept right on plucking....nice job, not an easy song to cover anyway, Gerry had an unusual unique voice !

[khanoos64]

NICE

[b5i6ll7y]

thanx and Im glad you said pastor and not another kind of word

[DancingSpiderman]

@b5i6ll7y Well, I for one really enjoyed your cover, VERY much. Kudos, bud.

I also enjoyed The Munsters church organ accompaniment.  Was Lurch playing? haha.

Well done.

[ILLINUT]

good job, you probably should add the word cover to the title to make it clear to all the knuckleheads who cant see from the thumbnail image that this isnt Gerry rafferty himself but rather a cover....nice cover tho, my wife liked it too....says you look like a pastor!!

[robbyc27]

Dude it takes alot of balls to post yourself on here. so don't listen to the negatives and i think you did a good job

[telsport]

OK! You know your vocal limits and dont try to reach...that's good.No jive.,,,I would be happy to hear you playing in a suitable venue, Nice. Dont give up. keep making nice music written by the greats...and make people happy.

Tom Loughlin Jr Utica NY..BIG (270 lbs) Gerry Rafferty fan.

[impellernut]

pretty good

[jurvis1]

I'd give my right arm to be able to play and sing this good.

[PerignonPop]

@jurvis1 You've not thought that one through son. If the devil does a Robert Johnson on you and knocks upon your door early one morning I wouldn't go offering any upper limbs as loan collateral. It may hamper the subsequent playing.

[jurvis1]

@PerignonPop Hence the irony.

[steinadler70]

good job

[misty1ification]

Not a bad effort.... heard worse

[dmartin745]

The man is playing tribute to a great artist. Great job.

[cojay28]

Great job on a great song by a great artist. Very impressive man.

[bluebell280]

You are very good :)

[BumperTapper2]

Don't listen to the haters, you did a great job:)

[edgecombe74]

You guys are idiots. I understood b5i6II7y's intent right away.... He does a very good job with this song

[13261403]

Shame on you!

[b5i6ll7y]

@13261403 explane

[doofusgerms]

Turn up the guitar volume a bit

Could hardly hear it.

[featherston16]

schmuk!!!

[SvobodaVodka]

play that funky music white boy

[Seattlecarnut]

I like it! It shows creativity. One of my favourite songs by Gerry Rafferty.

[coolkayaker1]

132 people who enjoy good music and a nice rendition of Gerry's song.

10 that enjoy Lady GaGa.

[devilfan1965]

good job....yes thats why they call it covers.....people play other musicians songs....duh

[newquayhotel]

good cover

[paulhofman]

Great cover. Bit sloppy on vocal timing, but else very very good cover.

[STRUMMERBOY1975]

The More Rude the Comment the Less Musically Inclined.......:)

[lisafauve]

dude not bad. But open you're eyes.

[maximus118]

Great job, not an easy song to cover..

[provoira]

Give the man a break, he obviously like Gerry s talent and work....good stuff he plays his music! Sounds pretty damn good to me....I cant play or sing!! Kepp playing and singing!

[STRUMMERBOY1975]

@provoira Bravo !! :) If i was head of YouTube,,,i would systematically remove each and every Rude Comment as well as terminate the membership of the idiots that post them....: There are so many " Low Lifes" here that know nothing of the Love Of Music.... or Love for that matter...........:)

[utahprof]

Nice job, man!

[gravandonline]

Nice job, man. Regards from Brazil. Go ahead!

[Ilovethisworld]

I must admit, the guy is singing good, with his clear voice, as against velvet voice of Rafferty...

[ellen691]

10 stars for this guy....

[blissy1]

Thanks for that,don't call us we'll call you.

[PerignonPop]

@blissy1 Your phone's been disconnected after you spent your last three Giros/Welfare checks on PCP. And Turpentine and Pineapple Juice. Fact.

[blissy1]

@PerignonPop I don't usualy bother with the Pineapple juice

[PerignonPop]

@blissy1 Probably not. You're fruity enough as it is dearie. A veritable harvest tableau.

[randyrhoadesRIP]

Very nice mate :) 

[DIETRICHART]

@waxLonghorn: b5i6ll7y has already cleared that up lick-bag, and yes Rafferty did die the night before or around the day I wrote, so get your shit and yourself wired together homey and start minding your own fucking business...

[PerignonPop]

@DIETRICHART To quote Robin Williams, "I've never a encountered a man in such dire need of a blowjob..."

Mellow out for pity's sake bruv.

[DIETRICHART]

@PerignonPop, I suppose you're giving discounts,... or are you not done doing Man-U yet,... what?, too much salt?, aw,... By the way mo, soliciting on the tube is illegal, and oh yea, if you have any strength left after all that vacuuming, you can go fuck yourself...

[PerignonPop]

@DIETRICHART That's your idea of wit? Pitiful. Watch out with all those cracked pavements - you're bound for a fall soon. Lame.

[DIETRICHART]

@PerignonPop Pulled you outa the woodwork then didn't it homey?,... by the way, you threatening me shit-ball?, Yea, I think that was a threat, bad move on your part, I'm right over here locked n' loaded, advice fudgepacker?, back out while you still can...

[PerignonPop]

@DIETRICHART Loonies threatening armed violence on the net. Give us all a break.

[DIETRICHART]

@PerignonPop If the shit fits, wear it cunt,... wait a minute, cunts are useful...

[PerignonPop]

@DIETRICHART Ha! Geezusallabreakman. Charm School's after you son to give you your refund.

In Scotland, where the original writer, singer and the boy ably covering here hail from, the word 'cunt' is multi-purpose. Oft heard is talk of a guy being "a good cunt" or a "decent cunt". You, however, are merely a cunt in it's less-complimentary pejorative usage. You're lame laddie - feeble and futile. I hope your next shite's a hedgehog ya bas.

[DIETRICHART]

@PerignonPop Back to you with knobs on it you soused-up old hagus, get some more of that rotten malt you goat-blowers swill, and go out and check your front step for a sack o' high hedgehogs,... zip-ditty-hoot-mon-dooo...

[PerignonPop]

@DIETRICHART  You're a fucking maniac but you kind of represent good value. What the fuck is a "hagus"?

Lay off the mushrooms and the PCP and stop gobbling strangers for crack rocks in park toilets you loon.

Turd gobbling buffoon. Get it right up ye.

[DIETRICHART]

@PerignonPop Good, keep it up Scotchman, NOW you're revealing yourself to the public of what you really are,... a social pyrea, an internet whore, a lick-bag to the stars no less, a, b.o. infested bore, an introverted sickefant, and a true skunk at a lawn party where everybody says; "Who is that prick?, and when is he going to leave?", so just reach down into your bottom dresser drawer homey, grab that dildo, and when your boyfriend isn't looking, go fuck yourself...

[ArchangelBoab]

@DIETRICHART You win the prize for most reprehensible individual I have encountered online in the last hour. Nasty, vicious, dyslexic, foul and utterly unoriginal. Just take a double-dose of your anti-psychotics and find a nice quiet place away from humanity. Please.

[DIETRICHART]

@ArchangelBoab I'll be around to collect it lick-bag #2, meanwhile, you can lick my rebel dick ArchBoob...

[DavieGlasgow26]

sounds to me there both made in scotland gudstuff.

[Dahaas2003]

Nice Tribute to an artist who never got the full acclaim he deserved but whose music will outlive all of us. Nice job! :)

[DebbieJ56]

A brilliant cover of the Late great Gerry Rafferty. Good job. Good Job.

[PerignonPop]

Wooh Hahhh

[Loosecannonwan]

brilliant, keep on singin, keep on rockin in the free world...Robert, Drip, Drip, Drip.

[Loosecannonwan]

brilliant, keep on singin, keep on rockin in the free world...Robert, Drip, Drip, Drip.

[maddogwally]

I think this guy is really singing this... I went big screen on it and his throat is moving.

Or he's a great fake...

[2JOHNNYT]

Good voice dude!!!

[PerignonPop]

Aye, the man's a fraud. A total chancer. Charlatan. What are people taking exactly this weekend? Jeez-o... Sterling effort big fella. Smooth and full of heart.

[lucraetiagaia]

Sei bravo, è una bella versione complimenti! Grazie, viva la musica, the power of love, the power of life :-)

[lucraetiagaia]

Sei bravo, è una bella versione complimenti! Grazie, viva la musica, the power of love, the power of life :-)

[twokmb01]

Pretending to be Gerry...well, it's just wrong...good pretense. But.....Just wrong...again. Wanna bee's just doesn't fly!! Good waana bee anyway!

[b5i6ll7y]

@twokmb01 once again i am not trying to be gerry i am only murdering one of his songs

[Zorinja]

@b5i6ll7y dude this is an awesome cover. don't listen to all the haters

[Getrealpeeps]

@b5i6ll7y I don't think you murdered the song @ all, I think it was a GREAT preformance

:)

[funkmachine123]

@b5i6ll7y That was really good buddie, but where did you get the backing track from? I'm wanting to sing this at my wedding for my new wife.

[franklinfuentes]

@b5i6ll7y, you didn't 'murder' this tune at all.. i actually enjoyed your version but your tag line; 'gerry rafferty at his best', was very confusing.

you may want to form a cover-band called 'jelly (or jerry) rafferty', you are very talented! :)

[clarionflyer]

@b5i6ll7y

(ha,ha) Politely said but nicely played, too (literally).

[eldunno73]

@b5i6ll7y You are honoring, not murdering, I love it!

[finnemccool]

@b5i6ll7y I think what these people mean is that you might want to include the word cover in your header. You do a good cover of the song, though.

[WeaselHalfbreed]

@twokmb01 Who cares. The guy is enjoying himself, it's a great song, and he;s just trying to share a good vibe.

[PerignonPop]

@WeaselHalfbreed Hear hear sir. Hear hear. Well said.

[PerignonPop]

@WeaselHalfbreed Hear hear sir. Hear hear. Well said.

[Coonhoundy]

@twokmb01

Get bent !

[aaronhewett]

Nice cover of a pretty good song, you have a good voice, however I don't like playing songs to backing tracks, I prefer to record those as well.

[debbie299]

Agree with bulltrader2007....You did a FANTASTIC job doing this cover of the GREAT Gerry Rafferty!!! VERY IMPRESSIVE!!! BRAVO!!! :))

[spacedman42]

great cover

[alemarina73]

CHAU HASTA SIEMPRE GERRY!!!! Y GRACIAS.

[Smackdaddy9]

Thank You Mister Potatohead. Your version is the cat's tits.

[mundymanor]

Say, that was good! To heck with the trolls, this is good! I'd shake your hand (since you're too young for marriage and all...)

[BurkhardusX]

i like

[barnabas50]

this is not Gerry it's some fellow covering the song, he did a good job.

[ChicagoNeilcon]

@k80nya We anxiously await your "video" response. Fact o' the matter is that you probably have less talent than this dude's toenail clippings!  WHOOP ....there it is!

[voz39zam]

wow very nice thanks for sharing!

[Starrman69]

I like your voice, nice job on my most favorite Rafferty tune.

Rest In Peace, Gerry....Your music lives on

[louzzzie]

R.I.P my longtime hero

xxxx

[DIETRICHART]

I think it's time you came clean and told all these people if in fact you are or are not Gerry Rafferty fella. If you are not, then that's pretty shallow naming your titles and marquis under his name, especially since Rafferty died today. We await the truth.

[b5i6ll7y]

@DIETRICHART I did not say I was the late great mr rafferty I when I said gerry rafferty at his best I meant the brilliant songs that he writes

[nonterraqueous]

@b5i6ll7y Hmmmm - I cannot understand how some people can't suss this fact out for themselves. How much research do these idiots have to do before they are SURE you are not him?

[WaxLonghorn]

@DIETRICHART Soooo... let's recap your thoughts...if b5i6ll7y is NOT, in fact Gerry, he should declare so, on the day of Gerry's (and potentially, if we are to believe your claim, his own) death? Isn't that just ludicrous? Do you REALLY await the truth, or are you just antagonizing a good musician who wants to celebrate a great one?

[ChicagoNeilcon]

@nickelback1955 Dude.....It's called a COVER. The artist doesn't claim to be Rafferty. But you've gotta admit, he's damn good!

[wreckedband]

a great song well done by you,keep it going, p.s has anyone ever told you that you look like the guy that played the roll of the president in the classic cult movie escape from new york with kurt russell,just one of my stupid observations,no disrespect intended

[johnweyton]

@wreckedband

Donald Pleasance was the actor you mean. He does, a bit.

RIP, Gerry

[17hulahoop]

YOU ARE GREAT !!!!!

[thedrownedinsound2]

Dont give up the day job. Sorry mate..!!

[shakes196]

Awsome. I really like this. Good job.

[rondj1965]

I like it! Gerry would be proud!

[RickenbackerRules]

Awsome cover Dude!! What are the chords your playing?

[blueinfinite]

Is this Gerry or Olly the local butcher??

[loualf61]

R.I.P. Gerry you  was the greatest

[joevs21001]

Great job bud! You did Gerry proud.....

[wigspl1t]

GOOD JOB!!

[b5i6ll7y]

@stinkerbell411 sorry stinky im far too young to get married but thanks for the comments

[stinkerbell411]

I have always said that if a man sang this to me, I would sooo marry him! I love this song! Great job singing and playing to it : )

[Howsonn]

Seriously, he can sing! Well done.

[Howsonn]

Looks like Gerry Rafferty's been puttin down quite a few burgers and fries.

[DOKK212]

@Howsonn It's not Gerry

[TheYearTwentyTwenty]

Superb, mate. well done

[fumetti]

Excellent rendition of my favorite song of Rafferty.

[darynsax]

brilliant 

[glitterknight]

Great cover.  Well done, mate. Well done indeed

[lilarose1941]

Of course Gerry has gotten older, just like me and just like y'all will eventually! I loved his music in the 70's and love it today. Thanks, Gerry, for the great sounds!

[67ezzy]

Great!

[macfint]

wow, I love Frank Black
