Boz Scaggs is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. He gained fame in the 1970's with Several Top 20 Hits in the United States, along with his #2 album Silk Degrees.
Although Boz Scaggs is perhaps best known for his innovative white soul music during the 1970's. 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. Born in Ohio, Scaggs moved with his family to Plano, Texas (a suburb of Dallas), when he was quite young. His interest in music was sparked by his childhood friendship with Steve Miller, with whom he attended St. Mark's Preparatory School in Dallas. Miller, who would grow up to front the highly successful Steve Miller Band, taught Scaggs the rudiments of guitar playing and encouraged him to sing.
Scaggs became the vocalist for The Steve Miller Band in 1959 and then again later in 1976. In between, he focused primarily on a solo career. In 1980 Scaggs released Middle Man which spawned two more top 20 hits. He continued to tour throughout the 80's and 90's and even opened a San Francisco nightclub called Slims. In 2004, he released a live CD and DVD. He tours each summer with a loyal cadre of fans and remains hugely popular in Japan.
