Lets Dance Top Ten: Slow Dancer (#5)

Tweet

When I started this countdown of favorites that have "dance" or some variation in the title I warned everyone there'd be a number of familiar names on the list. And what do you know, for today's song a longtime favorite shows up!! Here's today's song. #5: Slow Dancer - Boz Scaggs Oooh. That voice. See you tomorrow. Oh, you want more? He's kinda sexy, too. Now I'll see you tomorrow. In 1969 Boz Scaggs left the Steve Miller Band and struck out on his own. His first album was a pretty uneven mix of country (he covered "Waiting for a Train"), blues (highlighted by "Loan Me a Dime," which many consider to be Duane Allman's greatest guitar work), rock, and the blue-eyed soul we'd come to associate with the Boz man. This title song from his 1974 album is a simply gorgeous ballad about a guy learning about sex....apparently with a prostitute. Ooh, that voice.
