Jo JoBoz Scaggs

Boz Scaggs – JoJo (Official Video)

This is a song included on the 1980 album “Middle Man.” Boz Scaggs has so many hits that it’s hard to pick his best, but compared to the super-famous ballad “We’re All Alone,” this one exudes an even more mature sensuality.

It’s mid-tempo, crisp, and a well-balanced piece.
