Gerry Rafferty has been one of the most effective songwriters to emerge in Scotland, although he had to wait a few years before being able to record his own solo albums.
His beginnings were in the band Humblebums and then later with Stealers Wheel along with another great one like Joe Egan, with the latter he would publish three great albums in the early seventies.
Rafferty would later be retired from music for several years, until 1978 when he would return to record "City to City", his first solo album, which was released not without some serious contractual problems, such as negotiating the termination of his contract with his previous record company.
Criticism would not be very benevolent with this album, in fact it was quite beaten, quite the opposite of the public and fans who welcomed it with great enthusiasm, reaching a number one position in the United States, taking that place from the band, soundtrack Saturday Night Fever that had been in the post of honor for six months, thanks to the singles "Baker Street", the ballad "Whatever's" written in your heart and the half time "Right Down the line".
