After first finding acclaim as a member of the Steve Miller Band, singer/songwriter Boz Scaggs went on to enjoy considerable solo succeeder in the 1970s. Born William Royce Scaggs in Ohio on June 8, 1944, he was brocaded in Oklahoma and Texas, and while attending prep school day in Dallas met guitarist Steve Miller. After joining Miller's group the Marksmen as a singer in 1959, the geminate later tended to the University of Wisconsin together, performing in vapors bands like the Ardells and the Fabulous Knight Trains.
In 1963 Scaggs returned to Dallas alone, fronting an R&B unit dubbed the Wigs; subsequently relocating to England, the mathematical group quickly disbanded, and two of its members -- John Andrews and Bob Arthur -- shortly formed Mother Earth. Scaggs remained in Europe, singing on street corners; in Sweden he recorded a failed solo LP, 1965's Boz, in front reverting to the U.S. two eld afterward. Upon subsiding in San Francisco, he reunited with Miller, connection the freshman Steve Miller Band; after recording two acclaimed albums with the mathematical group, Children of the Future and Panama hat, Scaggs exited in 1968 to mount a solo life history.
With the attention of Rolling Stone cartridge clip publishing house Jann Wenner, Scaggs secured a contract with Atlantic. Sporting a cameo from Duane Allman, 1968's soulful Boz Scaggs failed to observe an audience despite taking decisive favor; the data track "Loan Me a Dime" later became the subject of a royal court struggle when bluesman Fenton Robinson sued (successfully) for composer credit. After signing to Columbia, Scaggs teamed with producer Glyn Johns to phonograph recording 1971's Moments, a skilful blend of careen and R&B which, like its predecessor, failed to make lots of an impression on the charts.
Scaggs remained a critics' deary over the track of LPs like 1972's My Time and 1974's Slow Dancer, simply he did non reach a commercial-grade breakthrough until 1976's Silk Degrees, which reached number 2 on the album charts piece spawning the Top Three single "Lowdown," as easily as the smash "Lido Shuffle." 1977's Down Two Then Left was too a success, and 1980's Middle Man reached the Top Ten on the strength of the singles "Crack-up Dead Ahead" and "Jo Jo."
However, Scaggs dog-tired a great deal of the 1980s in retreat, owning and operating the San Francisco nightclub Slim's and limiting his performances mainly to the club's annual black tie New Year's Eve concerts. Finally, in 1988 he resurfaced with the album Former Roads, followed three eld afterward by a hitch with Donald Fagen's Rock and Soul Revue. The solo Some Change appeared in 1994, with Come on Home and My Time: The Anthology (1969-1997) both released in 1997. The freshly energized Scaggs dog-tired the next few years consistantly releasing novel material including Here's the Low Down, Fade into Light, Dig and a compendium of standards called But Beautiful.
