I love Boz Scaggs!

“Silk Degrees” was a great album.

FWIW, my favorities from that album were “Georgia”, “It’s Over” and “What Can I Say?”.

I remember this song from my childhood - it was huge among both white and black audiences. That’s a big change in American society, and not a positive one - back in the ‘70s, good music was good music to everyone and musical creativity was enriched by influences from every part of the American culture. These days, it all seems a lot more regimented and segregated, with constant cries of “cultural appropriation”.

It must have been 1969 in San Jose I went to a club named the Bodega, Boz was playing there and to my surprise there must have been 20 people on stage and in the band.

I don't think he ever made it to the Chateau where some of the early members of The Doobie Brothers played. I believe they have an album named Chateau in memory of this place in the Santa Cruz mountains.

My Youth.

Useless tidbit of the day: Boz Scaggs and Steve Miller attended the same high school and played in bands together through college and a couple of years after.

That took me back! No way you can listen to that without dancing.

Even more useless info, the studio musicians on Silk Degrees went on to become Toto.

[Rebelbase]

Even more useless info, after the Eagles broke up their bass player Timothy B. Schmidt did background vocals on Toto’s Out of Africa and I Won’t Hold You Back.
