I love that he is so real. No botox, toupee, bullshit. He is an enormously talented and intelligent man and seems as nice and humble as anyone can be. I have always and will always be a fan.
Boz, Has always been the most down to earth, and humble man. No superstar airs about him at all. That's why he is beloved by his peers. And musical fans and highly respected...
I have so much respect for Boz as a musician and man he is. I was so fortunate to be on his 1977 Silk Degrees Tour with the future members of the band TOTO..Jeff...Mike .Steve Porcaro..and Steve Lukather...and the legendary John Madrid on Trumpet...and later on the Middleman album ..got to play the solos on his Platinum hit single: JOJO..Love you Boz.. those were some incredible years on the band 1977- 1985 ..with a big finish..after touring Australia..New Zealand..to go back to Japan for the Big Show of the World 1985..The Japan Worlds Fair..Thank you Boz!
Great tribute from you to such a humble musician. That music is time stamped in my mind with some of the most precious memories of my life. I sometimes wonder if people like you realize that you were part of something that can still affect a person, bring them back to a location, relationship, or interaction, and flood them with emotion after 40+ years. Music is powerful!
It is so natural the way talks about music like breathing to him naturally humble many songs I like by him what can I say lowdown harbor lights to name a few of so many thanks BOZ
Adrian Tapia I love your playing, Sax! Every time I hear JOJO, I'm back on the Lower East Side (with all my bad habits). You brought the funk and I call that song an "Alphabet City song". Much love and Respect!!
Love this interview. Boz says he is not a great musician, songwriter, nor singer. Yet he has written the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. THANK YOU my Dear! xo
@@adanacman666 I think you misunderstood. Paul Power wasn't stating it as a question. He did say he's the whole package and real. Sometimes it's so easy to come across wrong on these things.
Boz.this man is the real deal.no bull.underselling the talent he has. humble.Ok but being a Boz Scaggs fan back when music was so good, when you can't wait to go to the record store and put the needle to the vinyl and hearing Lowdown by Boz.he ruled the airwaves, dressed sharp.Women loved him.Men wanted to be him.Voice,,playing, writing songs.He was the Boss before there was a boss.So cool,Boz Scaggs.
Such a fantastic interview! Excellent questions and a very qualified man to do this particular interview. He never interrupted which I respect. Boz Scaggs is so humble! If he had any idea how revered he is, I think it might surprise him. I have always loved his music and had a crush on him as well! We are all getting older and I'm glad I grew up in an era that had people like this man to make music that took me through my life!
Boz is just awesome....and completely underrated as a musician...most fail to realize how prolific he really is...I put him up there with the likes of Van Morrison...heady company indeed... Boz has stood the test of time and in my view has consistently improved..a very tough feat in a very tough game...Boz is like fine wine...
I love that... he is like 'fine wine' improves with age.... but also, loved the first time you taste it.. his 'Disco'.. more Soul to me, records... are unforgettable, once heard! What Can I Say (?) more.. :-)
It was 1976 when I got introduced to his kind of music and got hooked since then, what a great singer and musician he is...it's a good thing he's still moving forward in his career. Too sad though, to learn he lost his eldest son Oscar to heroin in 1991 New Year's Eve at a seedy hotel in San Francisco, good thing it didn't ruin his career, but truly devasted him and the mother of his kids, Carmella. To me he's one of the truest musician that has inspired me in my musical life. With my band in the late '70's we played a lot of the Steve Miller Band songs, but I never even knew he was with that band then, his album Silk Gegrees was the one that influenced me a lot of his music...thanks Boz, pls. continue your music making...we truly enjoy your music and specially your distinct voice...
You seem to know a lot about Boz. I too remember when he lost his son. I was teenager when I first heard Boz. I was 15 years old and saw him at Fillmore West. This was way before Silk Degrees. I had seen him on local television so I knew how good he was. My friends had never heard of him. He did not disappoint. Living in the Bay Area I saw him live many times. He's old now and so am I. I am still a fan.
As soon as you hear his music something just settles in my heart and the day just got better. Box has been a blessing to all of us who love his sound, there is no one else like him after all the years he has been with us.
What a wonderful video. I’ve loved Boz Scaggs’ music since the 70s and he has written some of the best songs I have ever heard. I really like playing many of your songs on the piano. Thanks for all the awesome music. 💕🎼🎵🎶✌🏼🌺
Very interesting Mr Holgar Peterson Thanks a million for this personal interview with the music man himself! BOZ MAN May he keep the hits coming our way..
Boz you are a super talented individual and your music has made me so happy over these many decades. I still listen to Silk Degrees. I know you've done a lot of music before and after that album but it brings lots of great memories for me.
I LOVE YOU BOZ SCAGGS , FOR YOU , YOUR HUMILITY, HONESTY, INTELLECT, INSIGHT INTO YOU AND YOUR MUSIC. I AM JUST NOW DISCOVERING ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE OVER THE YEARS. YES "LOW DOWN" , HEY JO" BROUGHT YOU TO THE FOREFRONT, IT IS ONLY NOW THAT I CAN FIND THE TIME FOR YOUR MUSIC AND THAT OF OTHER GREATS, AND MY OWN CREATIVENESS. GOD BLESS YOU BOZ, TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH WE NEED YOU AROUND FOR MANY MORE YEARS:) RON FROM NJ
Boz is so unique n he doesn't give himself enough credit, incredibly humble! Another observation in alot of his play, concerts, ect is he could let that voice rip n doesn't, I hear endless potential in that saultry voice of his, NO ONE HAS YOUR SOUND BOZ, DAM YOUR HOT!! LOVED U IN THE 70'S n STILL DO TODAY!! XO
When he first heard Jimmy Reed, he was impressed. Well, this is the first interview I've heard of Mr. Scaggs and I'm very impressed also. What a humble, talented man, a Texas gentleman, through and through.
Boz Scaggs had a serious hold on my soul since the time that he was working with Steve Miller on those first two records, and then when he put out his first solo album it just blew me away! He has So much emotion in his music, it is on the same level with Van Morrison! A Great Artist, through and through! Lary
You must be a old fart like me. I haven't seen Boz for years. He was a big part of my growing up. I live in the Bay Area as he does. Was able to see him at so many local venues before he really blew up.
Yes babe I went to college in Midland Michigan at 17 my deceased husband was the falsetto in our hometown group called the magnificent men. If you have time listen to stormy weather by the magnificent men featuring buddy king and David bupp. God bless you friend
I missed him when he was here in Chicago for one night a few weeks ago. I found out after the fact- when I looked on line for his 2023 Summer Tour schedule. Ugh!! 😅
A great singer songwriter and musician! His voice is the most wondrous I’ve ever heard. I love this man! Loan me a dime was the first thing I heard from him and I’ve been a lifelong fan since.
Oh Boz...it's hard to hear you say you 'aren't a song-writer, aren't a singer, aren't a guitar player', when you are SO much all those things. I've been your No.1 fan for decades (since 1971) and have seen you so many times I've lost count. I simply adore your music and I hope for nothing but the best for you and your family. Happy 2019!
Great interview. Boz goes way back and his roots go even further. Been paying attention for awhile. Saw him with the Toto guys and later with the Drew Zingg lead group. Great songs, arrangements always in the R&B tradition. Truly an excellent example of "music Americana"
This is a great interview. So much history and information. Love Boz Skaggs - what an interesting, intelligent, generous person & this interview reveals it.
I just saw him in concert a few night ago and I was spellbound by his performance along with some fantastic musicians behind him. He sounded as good if not better than when he was at the peak of his career !!
Love the Man, and his music, Have every album and have seen him play so many times, in fact, seeing him here in Eugene, Oregon , Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2015! Thanks Boz for all the great music
wow, bringing up al green, what a great guy, when I was a kid I worked at Marco Polo in Miami, met an became friendly with al. I was just learning about music, al gave me a bunch of platform shoes in wild colors so I would be all set playing gigs. Boz your music has inspired me my entire life
I enjoyed this interview immensely. I've always loved Boz's music and have been amazed by his talent. I have also always thought he seemed like a guy who'd be cool just to hang out with for a few hours. So genuine. Unpretentious. A humble man. Thanks for the post, and thank you Boz Scaggs for sharing your music with us.
@Boz Scaggs ♪ You tube I just got The very best of Boz Scaggs on Cd, love it. I know Jeff Porcaro was your man on drums, what an inspiration to me. I drum to your songs all the time. Always a great listen. I had a Silk Degrees tape, burned it up. Had to up grade it!
@Boz Scaggs ♪ I understand Boz, I'll work on that sir. Just a big fan I understand your privacy concerns. Not interested in anything more than your music, which I just received, great tunes!
I always heard a little South Texas and a little Doug Sahm in Boz's work. Now I know why. Thank you Boz for bringing lots of joy to my life! San Antonio.
Boz has such a place in the music of my life.....the first record I ever had by him was Boz Scaggs and Band,and it still blows me away.Thank you Boz for all the great tunes.
He holds a special place when we hear one of his classic tunes. They are just as good today as when they were released. He is so special. Proud of my fellow Texan
Boy--Of all the love songs I've heard throughout my LONG life, this song melts me every single time I hear it sung. I adore this man.......I envy his wife.
The intro.my God.i get goosebumps still.an LP only then could the sound of all the musicians come to that crescendo .the piano.organ.drums then te guitar.i remember boz as a teacher of piano and voice.J.P
A class act. One of the historic American musicians. Been to dozens of his shows. Always a worth wild experience. I was very lucky to see one of the few Steve Miller Band shows while he was part of the Band and it was unforgettable.
I loved Boz rendition of "Rainy Night In Georgia" it was so unique. And I loved "Corrina Corrina" !! Absolutely beautiful . It brought tears to my eyes.
Also Boz have you heard John Kay and Steppenwolf version of Corrina Corrina ... It's on the Steppenwolf live album... The one with the Wolf face on the cover... You both had your own stamp on the song and both were very well done !! ... I sure wish I knew a girl named Corrina because your version expressed love to her as good as it could be done... That song would be must play at any wedding celebration.
I have no idea why this post showed up in my feed. Holger conducts a great interview. He allows Boz to run with his stories and doesn't do any self serving interruptions. 🖒
This man is mesmerizing to listen to. I love the story telling. I found it educational. I can’t believe the apparent lack of ego and the level of modesty this guy has. This interview just inspired me to search out more of his music - the stuff I am not familiar with, and listen to it. I just know I’m going to be impressed and entertained.
A very interesting gentleman,...I enjoyed listening to him speak and Holger was also respectful in that he let Boz amble, and express himself....another aspect I noticed, Boz never said "you know". he actually created entire sentences and thoughts without having to resort to "you know" Such an interesting gentleman. As a guitar player, i wold just love to sit it and after chat with Boz and absorb his musical legacy. Thanks so much for posting this video. RC
got my brother to accompany me to see him in Berkeley in 1978! Great Concert, he sure was hot and popular. Never ever saw him speak or be interviewed until now! He was not one to run around and do talk shows etc. What a talent. New about him since 1971, my older brother had his record!
I’m from Massachusetts . I grew up listening to your music . My brother used to sing to me as a child and he sound exactly like you . Omg exactly like you . God rest his soul . But I still listen to your music it’s the best . ❤️
What a brilliant posting. Interviewer and Boz totally in sync and just chewin the fat on a subject that they both adore. Boz is unbelievably devoid of ego. Near the end he mentions one of my favourite songs of his and that is Thanks to You.
But Boz isn't that life? We grow in the love we have for a craft that we are pursuing. I guess I can so relate I was the slowest learner to anything but I follow the steps/grew in life, love and talent for creating, I don't think that any of us that are aware look at some of our earliest works and fine were not looking more a that growth flaws than the coming of wisdom for that craft. I find you refreshing humble in that analysis. In later year's when we pull it all together, we feel the flow of our experience together with the work we accomplished and it's refined. We know then to ourselves and more importantly accept what we are and what we are not. This is where the richness is I believe. Love this interview so natural and uncontrived. Carolyn~
Boz actually listens, and in a humble way, answers with a genuine opinion, no PR presentation detectable. I've never been a fan of Boz' music, but I now am a fan of the person. He is completely believable.
@@janetclauser1423 I was replying to your statement. He is not humble and far from honest. He was a no show performer of epic proportion before he sold out and went with that horrid pop disco outfit Toto. His earlier recorded work with Miller and Allman was great, you just couldn't depend on him.
Boz first caught my ear as a kid. I l bought Steve Miller Band " Children of the future. I listened to Baby's calling me home. My first thought was what the hell is this!!!! ?????
Loved the backstory of Fenton Robinson's Loan Me a Dime recording. It may be the most played track I have listened to over the past 50 years. And as a radio DJ, I get to play it as often as I choose. Just a magical recording and Boz's voice is spectacularly perfect on it.
Thanks so much for this iinterview, just listening to his records I was wondering where he come from, now I know why he is so good and genuine, in this conversation I learn more the 5 years in school... Thanks again.
My favourite male vocalist! There's no genre he can't deliver and his albums are class throughout! I had the luck and privilege to see him live in London at an intimate venue (Hanover Grand) promoting the excellent 'DIG' album produced by David Paich! Pete Woodroffe Music UK
I've always loved Boz, I love his distinctive voice and he was so cute. Im glad I grew up hearing his music.
I know right? I love his voice. It is so perfect for the kind of music that he sings.
I love that he is so real. No botox, toupee, bullshit. He is an enormously talented and intelligent man and seems as nice and humble as anyone can be. I have always and will always be a fan.
This is amazing interview, i have learned a lot for myself, thank you!
that's also a reason why I've always admired Boz as a man & loved his music or love his music.
Yea I appreciate that too
Just like his old friend steve Miller
Boz, Has always been the most down to earth, and humble man. No superstar airs about him at all. That's why he is beloved by his peers. And musical fans and highly respected...
I have so much respect for Boz as a musician and man he is.

what? i saw that tour too and had no idea who else was on the stage. incredible.
Adrian Tapia I love your playing, Sax! Every time I hear JOJO, I'm back on the Lower East Side (with all my bad habits). You brought the funk and I call that song an "Alphabet City song". Much love and Respect!!
@@mark-dietz your words are very true. I listen to him here on you tube and it takes me back.
I saw him live just 5 days ago . . . at age 78 he is still as good as ever!
We've seen him many times. He's a class entertainer.
me too amazing
Saw him last night. Best concert I’ve seen in years! He’s top of my list.
@@askrhonnie6356 👍
Man, I have never heard him speak, only sing. What a cool dude.
Love this interview. Boz says he is not a great musician, songwriter, nor singer. Yet he has written the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. THANK YOU my Dear! xo
And that makes him great, he's the whole package and real
well he is great in my book he plays brilliant guitar always has sings beutifully and wrote very lovely lyrics so maybe go look again
@@adanacman666 I think you misunderstood. Paul Power wasn't stating it as a question. He did say he's the whole package and real. Sometimes it's so easy to come across wrong on these things.
I love JoJo !
Soo humble .. it will never be the same again
Smooth, smart, sophisticated... Boz is an icon...loved him. For decades...💖💖💖
Boz Scaggs- the real deal. Legend, icon, man of the people. God bless.
I produced a Boz Scaggs concert in Northern California Oct of 1976. Great times.
Boz.this man is the real deal.no bull.underselling the talent he has. humble.Ok but being a Boz Scaggs fan back when music was so good, when you can't wait to go to the record store and put the needle to the vinyl and hearing Lowdown by Boz.he ruled the airwaves, dressed sharp.Women loved him.Men wanted to be him.Voice,,playing, writing songs.He was the Boss before there was a boss.So cool,Boz Scaggs.
What a Texas/Southern gentleman he is here. Amazing to think of Plano having only 500 people when Mr. Scaggs was growing up.
I could sit and listen to him all night long. I love the way he handles himself. I adore him! And He still Sings beautifully!
Such a fantastic interview! Excellent questions and a very qualified man to do this particular interview. He never interrupted which I respect. Boz Scaggs is so humble! If he had any idea how revered he is, I think it might surprise him. I have always loved his music and had a crush on him as well! We are all getting older and I'm glad I grew up in an era that had people like this man to make music that took me through my life!
Bozz you are a LEGEND and you deserve alot more recognition......
Wow I am 63 years old and miss him since he retired. Everything he sang was magic. May god bless you
He hasn't retired. He's touring this year! Saw him two years in a row before COVID
Nope, he's still touring in 2023! Fantastic musician and person.
I wore out my Silk Degrees album I played it so much, had to buy it again. Have always loved Boz Scaggs still on my playlist in 2022❤️
I'm a huge fan of this dude. He is just a great talent.
His voice just gets more mellow with age. Better and better!
Boz is just awesome....and completely underrated as a musician...most fail to realize how prolific he really is...I put him up there with the likes of Van Morrison...heady company indeed... Boz has stood the test of time and in my view has consistently improved..a very tough feat in a very tough game...Boz is like fine wine...
van morrison is a legend to be sure. i think boz goes higher on my list for endurance.
I love that... he is like 'fine wine' improves with age.... but also, loved the first time you taste it.. his 'Disco'.. more Soul to me, records... are unforgettable, once heard! What Can I Say (?) more.. :-)

You both had your own stamp on the song and both were very well done !! ... I sure wish I knew a girl named Corrina because your version expressed love to her as good as it could be done... That song would be must play at any wedding celebration.
Holger and Boz, two humble and thoughtful guys. Both legends in their respective fields.
Boz reminds me of Shelby Foote...could listen to them for hours and hours. What a great musician.
Brilliant comparison. The moment I read that, I heard Foote in him. Exact cadence; softness.
Love Boz love his voice ❤️
I have no idea why this post showed up in my feed. Holger conducts a great interview. He allows Boz to run with his stories and doesn't do any self serving interruptions. 🖒
This man is mesmerizing to listen to. I love the story telling. I found it educational. I can’t believe the apparent lack of ego and the level of modesty this guy has. This interview just inspired me to search out more of his music - the stuff I am not familiar with, and listen to it. I just know I’m going to be impressed and entertained.
A very interesting gentleman,...I enjoyed listening to him speak and Holger was also respectful in that he let Boz amble, and express himself....another aspect I noticed, Boz never said "you know". he actually created entire sentences and thoughts without having to resort to "you know" Such an interesting gentleman. As a guitar player, i wold just love to sit it and after chat with Boz and absorb his musical legacy. Thanks so much for posting this video. RC
Have recently 'rediscovered' Boz, having loved him in his Silk Degrees days, what a fine musician, what a fine man 💕
got my brother to accompany me to see him in Berkeley in 1978! Great Concert, he sure was hot and popular. Never ever saw him speak or be interviewed until now! He was not one to run around and do talk shows etc. What a talent. New about him since 1971, my older brother had his record!
I've watched this interview for the 3rd time. You're such a great artist and humble spirit. Always be a fan.
what a great interview!! thanks for posting!
Boz , Can sing a long version We're all alone and Look what you done to me. Close the house down. Your Timeless Thank You....
i love you boz.. all my life
Soft-spoken, sweet man, B.O.Z.

Great interview by a great artist!
Wow sure do wish he did not retire from music
May god bless you
Love ya music Boz your music speaks to my heart
Boz has made some amazing music
What a brilliant posting. Interviewer and Boz totally in sync and just chewin the fat on a subject that they both adore. Boz is unbelievably devoid of ego. Near the end he mentions one of my favourite songs of his and that is Thanks to You.
But Boz isn't that life? We grow in the love we have for a craft that we are pursuing. I guess I can so relate I was the slowest learner to anything but I follow the steps/grew in life, love and talent for creating, I don't think that any of us that are aware look at some of our earliest works and fine were not looking more a that growth flaws than the coming of wisdom for that craft. I find you refreshing humble in that analysis. In later year's when we pull it all together, we feel the flow of our experience together with the work we accomplished and it's refined. We know then to ourselves and more importantly accept what we are and what we are not. This is where the richness is I believe. Love this interview so natural and uncontrived. Carolyn~
I got " a dime" favorite song! Always my favorite guy. Talent and looks! Whew!!!!!
Boz actually listens, and in a humble way, answers with a genuine opinion, no PR presentation detectable. I've never been a fan of Boz' music, but I now am a fan of the person. He is completely believable.
He's so honest. He's so humble. Very strange for someone of his talent and history.
Honest?!!? Yeah right. He left a string of canceled concerts and no shows exceeded only by Sly 1970-74. Got me twice.
@@jg6698 what are you talking about? 1970-74, huh? Let it go.
@@janetclauser1423 I was replying to your statement. He is not humble and far from honest. He was a no show performer of epic proportion before he sold out and went with that horrid pop disco outfit Toto. His earlier recorded work with Miller and Allman was great, you just couldn't depend on him.
Love this interview......amazing sound, 🙏🏻 Beautiful humble person. NO WONDER why his songs are soooooo good!!!!!
Boz first caught my ear as a kid. I l bought Steve Miller Band " Children of the future. I listened to Baby's calling me home. My first thought was what the hell is this!!!! ?????
Loved the backstory of Fenton Robinson's Loan Me a Dime recording. It may be the most played track I have listened to over the past 50 years. And as a radio DJ, I get to play it as often as I choose. Just a magical recording and Boz's voice is spectacularly perfect on it.
Thanks so much for this iinterview, just listening to his records I was wondering where he come from, now I know why he is so good and genuine, in this conversation I learn more the 5 years in school... Thanks again.
Great post! Thank you! Love and happiness!
Mr Boz introduced me to some great music. Some was his even. Many great players. Some of the great stuff played, his. I'm a fan of all his phases.
My favourite male vocalist!
There's no genre he can't deliver and his albums are class throughout!
I had the luck and privilege to see him live in London at an intimate venue (Hanover Grand) promoting the excellent 'DIG' album produced by David Paich!
