[theseventhprotocol]

The best SMB with  Boz Scaggs !The first album is usually the best for most bands.Sailor is a classic record and cover.Thanks !

[jan8421]

[sirwatchalot]

[curio46]

sweeeeet. My name is Mary - my soulmate played this for me over and over...we are still together and have two amazing children. A 27 year old son - Vincent (engineer) and a daughter Maria age 23 - an RN.... Thank you for this!

Every record he put out before the Joker was awesome. I guess Capitol told him he better start writing hits. This early stuff blows EVERY one of his "hits" away. God bless him though.

[theseventhprotocol]

@JamesADempsey I agree !!!! I think his first 3 albums were the best and after that it was all down hill musically.But he did make a lot of money in the 70's with his commercial hits which i can't even listen to.

Steve is a real U.S. icon. It doesn't matter if his only tracks played by the radio station muppets are 'Space Cowboy' (about 8 times a day on individual stations) or whatever - These early tracks will live forever, known by ancients or record collectors.

Anybody interested will find them - don't worry.

[njmus]

i think it was there best suff

[Tamoharadasa]

virgin sid trip the older hippy played this for the hippy teens, "song for our ancestors", etc. Incredible, life changing, beyond mere words.

[puddinglover02]

Just love this track and Steve's music in general. Reminds me of special times.

[FBUTTRESS]

This is a wonderful song. It is based on Bach's Air in G. Also which is what "A Whiter Shade of Pale" is based on. Beautiful. Also Flying Buttress' "Waiting for the train is based on it too! It is also on youtube just check out flying buttress waiting for the train in youtube's search engine

His first few albums were absolutely brilliant. He was a mover and a shaker as was Boz.

Our fav 8 track going from Miami to Miami Beach to park cars at a hotel, while still in High School. I still download it along with the beatles white and remember the great tunes crossing the inter coastal.Yes I'm 59

[vintelemon]

@whorn3351 I was also in high school (Miami Springs) at this time. Got this record at Jefferson's Dept. store downtown. Used to cruise to South Beach in my VW bus, when South Beach was cool: run down hotels, surf and bagel shops. Great times. Peace!

[joehawk520]

An acoustic acid rock from way back when. Not only a love song but a head song. Like having clouds hurled at your head. Thanks....

[lovintonal]

haven't her this stuff for a long time

[goatecheese]

I love this song. Steve Miller and his band probably kept me sane on some wacky metaphysical trips. The Sailor album is a classic and, sadly, most of the music on the album gets no airtime as is the case for most of Steve Miller's best material..

[rickynewyork1]

is stevie the seventh beatle?

[cherylannflynn]

When I was a music major at UMassLowell, back in prehistoric times, I used to go to the library Listening Lab and play this song by the SMB. This was a cool band, I think.

[pturnov]

Great song, rememer SM from 69, He was well known in my home Czechoslovakia besides Mothers, Cpt. Beefheart, Love, USA, Vanilla Fudge, Iron Butterfly and many many others

[drumier]

this is classic rock you wont hear on a classic rock station, the dummies that the media are.

[kakemuchie]

I got the 45 this song was recorded on. Classic love song.

Only 3 grand hits !!!!!

[yankeesipper]

this is one of my all time favorites can still remember the night me and 2 good friends spent the night listening to music; this song stuck in my head, thanks for the song Steve

[plattform5163]

Great song! 5/5

[finbarfay]

Steve Miller is among the best guitar players in rock ...despite his commercial "hits" like "Fly Like An Eagle" or "The Joker" which leave something to the imagination. "Dear Mary" is among his best as is "Seasons" from 'Brave new World.'

[nizxbit]

Absolutely gorgeous.

[slavicus]

Stevie "Guitar" Miller at the top of his game.

[c1c0b3rt]

Sailor is a great album...

[moshaw2004]

I really love this song... We've all had our share of "Mary"s we've wished we could say this to :(

[filthyphillyboy]

Yep, unfortunately.

[meggie1959]

I loved this album as a teenager in the 70's, I wore it out! I was able to get a copy on a special addition double album. Wish I still had it!

[leoncorpion]
