    I’m 43 years old. When I was a child my mom would play earth, wind and fire. Anita baker, Michael mcdonald, simply red, etc. I went to visit my mom yesterday , she is 80 years old. She was playing this song ……such fun memories she said with a giggle.

      Boz and David Paich were joint songwriters on much of his output, and if it hadn't been for Silk Degrees (on which Toto's members all played) maybe Toto would never have materialised.......which would have been an absolute tragedy of mega proportions as they remain the greatest ensemble of talented musicians to ever walk on a stage (in my humble opinion of course)!

    My Dad introduced me to Boz Scaggs. I remember the album cover where he’s wearing the dark pink blazer. I was 10 in 1976. I grew up with the best music of the Bay Area. I never realized how much him and SRV look alike. listening to this music brings back great memories of my youth. I was thinking about it the other day that people in my age group saw some of the fastest shifts in society through technology. I literally went from being the youngest kid of 5, having to get up and adjust the TV😂 to today. The weird fact that Back to the Future has pretty much happened, no pun intended, minus the flying car and time travel. 🙄❤️

    IN the 70s, music was becoming free of racial boundaries. Whomever sang a good song no matter genre, was appreciated, accepted and cheered, if they did it right. Boz Scaggs was at the right place at the time on his record contract for a white boy singing like a soul brother!
