<< makes me think of Boz Scaggs, whom I was listening to heavily at the time. Now, I really dig Boz and haven't seen him mentioned here. He took me away to exactly where I wanted to be. >>
Daggum, Mack...that is SO weird...I was surfing the all-music guide on the web today and just out of the blue picked three artists to read about...Sam Cooke, Elvin Bishop, and Boz Scaggs. Boz was a fixture on the San Francisco scene, but I didn't pick up on him until Slow Dancer. Lots of great songs on that record. Then it was "Silk Degrees", and we all know about that one. If I've heard it once I've heard it a bajillion times. Lido Shuffle, Georgia, Harbor Lights, What Can I Say, every song on that record was a hit. I remember road-tripping with my sister to Florida, and I had a tape with Deja Vu on one side & Silk Degrees on the other, and I ain't sure we ever changed that tape! I really dug his next one too, "Down Two, Then Left", then "Middle Man" which wasn't so hot in my book, so I let him slide. Interesting bit of trivia about Boz...made one of the biggest mistakes in soundtrack history. He was offered to put "Lowdown" on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, but opted for the Thank God It's Friday soundtrack instead. SNF went on to sell 27 mil, and Friday tanked. Anyway, thanks for mentioning Boz. Some great memories. Bob NP: Little Feat, "Day At The Dog Races"
