ABOUT BOZ SCAGGS:
Boz Scaggs is perhaps best known for his innovative white soul music during the 1970s, this
versatile musician has recorded many other styles of music as well, ranging from rhythm and
blues and folk to slick urban pop and disco. An early bandmate of Steve Miller in The Ardells
and the Steve Miller Band, he began his solo career in 1969, though he lacked a major hit until
his 1976 album Silk Degrees peaked at number 2 on the Billboard 200 and produced the hit
singles “Lido Shuffle” and “Lowdown”. Scaggs produced two more platinum-certified albums in
Down Two Then Left and Middle Man, the latter of which produced two top-40 singles
“Breakdown Dead Ahead” and “Jojo”. The singer followed his breakthrough album with two
more that sold millions of copies: Down Two Then Left and Middle Man. In 1980 alone, he had
four Top 20 singles, and his concerts were sellouts across the nation.
Scaggs is credited for helping the formation of Toto. For his 1976 album, Silk Degrees, he hand
picked musicians after taking suggestions from several people.[2] These musicians were David
Paich, David Hungate, and Jeff Porcaro. The three were already friends and had frequently
performed together on other albums, such as Steely Dan’s Pretzel Logic. By going on tour with
Scaggs, it solidified the prospect of starting a band.
