Biography by Jason Ankeny

After first finding acclaim as a member of the Steve Miller Band, singer/songwriter Boz Scaggs went on to enjoy considerable solo success in the 1970s. Born William Royce Scaggs in Ohio on June 8, 1944, he was raised in Oklahoma and Texas, and while attending prep school in Dallas met guitarist Steve Miller. After joining Miller's group the Marksmen as a vocalist in 1959, the pair later attended the University of Wisconsin together, playing in blues bands like the Ardells and the Fabulous Knight Trains.

In 1963 Scaggs returned to Dallas alone, fronting an R&B unit dubbed the Wigs; after relocating to England, the group promptly disbanded, and two of its members — John Andrews and Bob Arthur — soon formed Mother Earth. Scaggs remained in Europe, singing on street corners; in Sweden he recorded a failed solo LP, 1965's Boz, before returning to the U.S. two years later. Upon settling in San Francisco, he reunited with Miller, joining the fledgling Steve Miller Band; after recording two acclaimed albums with the group, Children of the Future and Sailor, Scaggs exited in 1968 to mount a solo career.

With the aid of Rolling Stone magazine publisher Jann Wenner, Scaggs secured a contract with Atlantic. Sporting a cameo from Duane Allman, 1968's soulful Boz Scaggs failed to find an audience despite winning critical favor; the track "Loan Me a Dime" later became the subject of a court battle when bluesman Fenton Robinson sued (successfully) for composer credit. After signing to Columbia, Scaggs teamed with producer Glyn Johns to record 1971's Moments, a skillful blend of rock and R&B which, like its predecessor, failed to make much of an impression on the charts.

Scaggs remained a critics' darling over the course of LPs like 1972's My Time and 1974's Slow Dancer, but he did not achieve a commercial breakthrough until 1976's Silk Degrees, which reached number two on the album charts while spawning the Top Three single "Lowdown," as well as the smash "Lido Shuffle." 1977's Down Two Then Left was also a success, and 1980's Middle Man reached the Top Ten on the strength of the singles "Breakdown Dead Ahead" and "Jo Jo."

However, Scaggs spent much of the 1980s in retirement, owning and operating the San Francisco nightclub Slim's and limiting his performances primarily to the club's annual black-tie New Year's Eve concerts. Finally, in 1988 he resurfaced with the album Other Roads, followed three years later by a tour with Donald Fagen's Rock and Soul Revue. The solo Some Change appeared in 1994, with Come on Home released in 1997.

Bitte beachten:

Preisvorschläge sind willkommen. Aber bitte nicht bei einstelligen(!) Artikelpreisen.

Bei vielen Artikeln steht "0,00 €" oder "Abholung" als Porto: Das stimmt so NICHT, sondern ist ein Fehler, der sich bei der Übertragung vom Turbolister zu hood eingeschlichen hat! Dasselbe gilt für die Kategorien. Zudem tauchen manche Artikel, die ich schon längst gelöscht hatte - da anderweitig verkauft - plötzlich wieder auf!

Daher unbedingt bei irgendwelchen Zweifeln/Unklarheiten lieber immer vorher fragen - auch wenn ihr noch Bildern/Scans benötigt! Bezüglich der wichtigsten Portokosten schaut daher bitte auch noch auf meine Homepages, hier und gerne auch bei eBay.

Ich kreuze bei der Vorgabe "Zustand - neu/gebraucht" das letztgenannte an, obwohl ich die CDs oft nur einmal kurz gehört habe, sie eh mit Samthandschuhen anfasse und sie eigentlich neu(wertig) sind. Ähnliches gilt für Comics.

Das bezieht sich aber NICHT auf austauschbare Jewelcases! Denn die sind oft sogar bei versiegelten CDs bereits angeknackst!
