Gerald "Gerry" Rafferty (16 April 1947 -- 4 January 2011) was a Scottish singer and songwriter best known for his solo hits "Baker Street" and "Right Down the Line", and "Stuck in the Middle" with the band Stealers Wheel.

In November 2010, Rafferty was admitted to the Royal Bournemouth Hospital. He died at home on 4 January 2011 of liver failure as a direct consequence of his lifelong battle with alcoholism. He is survived by his daughter Martha, granddaughter Celia and brother Jim.[2] Other entertainers have paid tribute to Rafferty, with comedian and ex-bandmate Billy Connolly calling him "a hugely talented songwriter and singer who will be greatly missed" and musician Tom Robinson saying "His early work with Stealers Wheel was an inspiration to a whole generation of songwriters in the 70s.
