Boz Scaggs Tickets Continued
After learning guitar at the age of 12, Boz Scaggs met Steve Miller at St.
Mark's School of Texas in Dallas. In 1959, he became the vocalist for
Miller's band The Marksmen. The pair later attended the University of
Wisconsin together, playing in blues bands like The Ardells and The
Fabulous Knight Trains. Boz Scaggs appeared on the Steve Miller Band's first two
albums, Children of the Future and Sailor, which won rave critical
reviews.
In 1976, Boz Scaggs linked up with session musicians who would later form Toto
and recorded his smash album Silk Degrees. The album reached number 2 on
the US charts and number 1 in a number of countries across the world,
spawning three hit singles: "Lowdown", "Lido Shuffle", and "What Can I
Say", as well as the MOR standard "We're All Alone", later a hit for Rita
Coolidge. Boz Scaggs' 1980 album, Middle Man, would spawn two top 20 hits,
"Breakdown Dead Ahead" and "Jojo". Boz Scaggs would enjoy two more hits
over 1980 and 1981 ("Look What You've Done to Me" from the Urban Cowboy
soundtrack, and "Miss Sun" from a greatest hits set).
In May, 2003, Boz Scaggs released But Beautiful, a collection of jazz
standards that debuted at number 1 on the jazz charts.
