An Introduction to Yacht Rock: "That Saxophone is Amazing" edition

The title really says it all. There are three or four songs that urge me to impulsively purchase a saxophone and Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street is at the top of that list. Known for it's impregnating saxophone riff performed by Raphael Ravenscroft, I challenge you to not have this song stuck in your head for the rest of the day. On a side note, urban legend has it that Ravenscroft never received payment for his contribution as the check made out to him from the record company bounced. Is that true? I don't know for sure, but what I do know is that I'm currently searching ebay for a cheap saxophone.

This song has a lot going for it that's necessary to be included as a Yacht Rock staple, but I can't tell you about those details because all I can hear is amazing saxophone and the haunting echo of a seagull, or guitar.
