Boz Scaggs is one of my favorite artists

A few years ago,he released an excellent Live CD and DVD.I'm gonna have to go see him in concert one of these days.

I didn't know he was still active. To tell the truth, I don't know if I can name another Boz Scaggs song, but that clip is so 70's.

Stax said:

You're not familiar with any of his other hits? Don't disappoint me,Stax!

"Lido Shuffle" (1976)
"It's Over" (1976)
"JoJo" (1980)
"Miss Sun" (1980)
"Look What You've Done To Me" (1980)

Good news: 'Silk Degrees' has finally been remastered;due on February 27!! No word on any bonus tracks

SoulAlive said:

Lido Suffle! Of course. Good song. http://www.youtube.com/wa...5rxWOXBnmA

JoJo? http://www.youtube.com/wa...W96ObcnIe4 I don't know this tune.

Look What You've Done To Me. http://www.youtube.com/wa...JcGSgq4yXg I remember this song, but I don't care for it much.

I'd need to hear the others, but I don't remember them off the top of my head.

This is another one that gets a thread every couple of months. (along with Gerry Rafferty)

But yeah, that's a cool clip that you posted . One of my favorite songs of all-time. I know I say that about a lot of songs, but it's true.

Stax said:

man,I go crazy over this song! One of my favorites by him.I always imagined that Luther Vandross would cover this song.It's from the 1980 movie "Urban Cowboy" starring John Travolta.This performance is from the Live DVD that he released a few years ago.

Stax said:

He tours each summer and the tix are always over $200 it seems!

I remember wanting to see him last year, and I just wasn't going to pay that much. I just checked now and yep, the tickets are over $200.

hey Stax...he lives in our area.He even has his own nightclub called Slims',but I don't know if it's still open.

SoulAlive said:

He owns Slims? I love that place. It's still open.

Stax said:

I suppose my definition of "favorite songs" for me also means songs that I NEVER tire of. They just never get old, and "Lowdown" is definitely one of them.

Stax said:

several years ago,Boz was eager to have Prince play an aftershow there.I can't recall if it actually took place.

minneapolisgenius said:

Seriously? Dedicated fans, apparently.

SoulAlive said:

Slim's in S.F.?

(I don't know where you live)

Stax said:

I've never seen him in concert but after seeing the DVD,I am determined to go.Her puts on an incredible performance!!

minneapolisgenius said:

that's the one! Stax and I are practically neighbors,lol

minneapolisgenius said:

That's a good definition. It is one of those songs that I turn up when it comes on the radio.

SoulAlive said:

Stax said:

In the summer of 1976,this song was ON FIRE! You heard that groove everywhere...on pop stations,on R&B stations.

Trivia about this song: it was gonna be used in 'Saturday Night Fever' but Boz's managers requested that the filmakers remove it.

SoulAlive said:

I wonder if he regrets that? They were probably mad that the film ripped off his white suit.

SoulAlive said:

Cool! I used to live in S.F. and I went there all the time (w/ my fake ID ). I didn't know he owned it.

Stax said:

It's been permanently on my mp3 player ever since I got it years ago. I run to it all the time.

Stax said:

Oddly enough,they did allow the song be played in another film from that era....the entertaining,but less successful "Looking For Mr.Goodbar".

SoulAlive said:

Good trivia.

Eh. It's a'ight.
