Boz Scaggs (born William Royce Scaggs, June 8, 1944) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. Scaggs was born in Canton, Ohio. After learning guitar at the age of 12, he 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.
Leaving school, Scaggs briefly left Texas to join the burgeoning rhythm and blues scene in London. After singing in bands such as The Wigs and Mother Earth, he recorded his first solo album Boz in 1965, which was not a commercial success. He traveled to Sweden as a solo performer and did a brief stint with the band The Other Side with fellow American Jack Downing and Brit Mac MacLeod.
Returning to the US, Scaggs promptly headed for the booming psychedelic music center of San Francisco in 1967. Linking up with Steve Miller again, he appeared on the Steve Miller Band’s first two albums Children of the Future and Sailor, which won over critical reviews. After being spotted by Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner, Scaggs secured a solo contract with Atlantic Records in 1968. Despite good reviews, his first Atlantic album was met with lukewarm sales, as were followup albums on Columbia Records.

I discovered him two or three years before, where I found "What Can I Say" on a compilation. All the same age people that only hear charts, would probably ask: "Are you serious?" But Boz is the man, and that's all that matters! ;-))

Best kept secret of peeps my generation: we heard silk degrees and middle man in early adolescence and those of us with the groove have quietly returned: not me. I been talking the man up lately. This is a real motherfucking singer and some real motherfucking songs. And that my friends is the lowdown.

Couldn't honestly care less about their health care plans, though my guess is the old geezer has one, but "My Time" is a highly underrated album.
