If you aren't joking..

Boz Scaggs.. a highly successful pop song writer/singer of the 70s.

He had some great albums.. sort of a cross between Van Morrison and Joe Jackson. Early in his career, he played with Steve Miller of The Steve Miller Band. They went to college together I think. Then he struck out on his own and did some very funky blue-eyed soul with a jazzy twist to it. He wrote some great tunes, put out solid albums, the best of which is.. SILK DEGRESS. I take that out along with his Greatest Hits CD and play them back to back every now and then.


Some of his hits include:
The Lido Shuffle
We're All Alone (he hit with it and so did Rita Coolidge)
The Lowdown
Jojo

Can't think of any more of the top of my head, but he had hits.. one after the other.
