Another GREAT posting of an incredible song by one of the greatest artists of his generation... U3U355 seems to have a real knack for posting songs with fabulous sound!!! I was once in love with a girl named Georgia and this song always takes me back to that wonderful time...thanks again from an old reminiscing geezer.
Boz Scaggs, I think you are genius and I love singing your songs because their structure is complicated, yet fluid! My vocal cords get a workout that feels great. My whole body loves Silk Degrees, and I thank you with all of me!
@xmotoxstudx, - Keeping in mind there's no rule book for any real-time or transitioning communication amongst the races, most people who write comments in open forum areas aren't going to be willing to explain, without being rude, how to compliment using phraseology that worked well in the past. They'd rather call you names than try to clear it up. Truth is, there are a lot of sayings and old school motto s that are ok, cause everybody knows what they mean. People are going to have to let go.
Music definitely peeked in the 60's & 70's. It seem that today the well is basically dry and you need to look back to find great music like this song.
When I saw Boz in concert, before he played this song, he explained he had written it for a friend of his who had gotten in trouble for having sex with a young girl, although he loved, was underage. Makes all kinds of sense when you hear the words.
There was nothing racist about what homebuy said. Please stop tripping like that because it hangs a dark cloud over the cool memories that this song brings back. Just enjoy the music and stop being a pill.
@gottselig2004 How is that racist? It's more of a compliment than anything. White boys just don't have the soul like the brotha's do... Face facts. Hater.
@xmotoxstudx This black man does not think the comment was racist,it was well-meaning,but you shouldn't stereotype.Commenting on something else,Annie Lennox,referring to the fact that her music has been labeled as "white soul" said,"And soul has no color,so let's just get that right!"

Someone on "We're All Alone" says he sounds like Kermit the Frog. Dislike.

Boz was always ahead of most. He still is as good as ever on later albums.. The jazz flavor he puts in his music tells me how good he really is...

@murdok620 I respectfully disagree. I do not see how it is racist to say that. It is but a rough comparison.
