Well this obviously shows my musical ignorance, but whenever I had heard that "stuck in the middle with you" song I assumed it was the Beatles.
Based on the above youtube links, he had some nice songs.

Very sad. My dad had/has a 45 with Baker Street on one side and Right Down the Line on the other, and I listened to it non-stop as a kid.

Baker Street is one of those 'perfect' songs.

One of the top sax solo's in rock. Right up there with Turn the Page by Bob Seger and Crime of the Century by Supertramp.

It's actually an instrumental chorus.

Actually, I still listen to his On a Wing and a Prayer CD from 1992 quite often. It's a mainstay in my collection.
