Many also remember "City to City" and "Baker Street" off his big solo album "City to City." But the best song of all is "Whatever's Written in Your Heart" off that same album. Sad, haunting, thought-provoking. Great tune, nice harmonies, and kinda spooky. I've heard he played and recorded the whole album on his own equipment at his mom's house. If so, that's almost as impressive as the songs.
Anyway, here's a video of it. Video's not that great, but listen to the song.

You did good, Gerry.
OK, let me try again...like I was saying, I was also saddened by his death. I heard it on the radio while driving in and they concluded the segment by playing another of his songs I had not heard of. Like most others, I knew of his 3 big hits and that's it. Thank's for the song/video, very nice. I was inspired to buy a greatest hits album on Amazon afterward (I guess that might be considered a posthumous reward to Gerry?) Also, sad to hear, if true, that he could not kick his alcohol addiction, leading to a bad liver and his premature death.
