The story behind
Whatever's Written in Your Heart, according to DoReSol
The piece *Whatever's Written in Your Heart*, from the album *City to City*, stands out for its length, reaching a duration of 6:39. This composition, produced by Hugh Murphy and Gerry Rafferty himself, featured Declan O’Doherty in the mixing process.
This work was released on January 20, 1978, marking Gerry Rafferty’s return to solo recordings after a six-year hiatus. This period was due to his involvement with the band Stealers Wheel and legal disputes that prevented him from releasing his own material for three years. The album received positive reception, even reaching the number one spot on the US Billboard 200 chart on July 8, 1978, surpassing *Saturday Night Fever*. It achieved platinum status in the US and gold in the UK, while in Canada it attained double platinum in 1979. Tracks such as *Baker Street*, *Right Down the Line*, and *Home and Dry* resonated on the US charts.
