Personal Quote:

Gerry Rafferty was a hugely talented songwriter and singer who will be greatly missed. I was privileged to have spent my formative years working with Gerry and there remained a strong bond of friendship between us that lasted until his untimely death. Gerry had extraordinary gifts and his premature passing deprives the world of a true genius. See more »

In September 2005, he announced that he is returning to live in his native Scotland, after residing in the United States for some years. See more »
