After first finding acclaim as a member of the Steve Miller Band, singer/songwriter Boz Scaggs went on to enjoy considerable solo success in the 1970s. Born William Royce Scaggs in Ohio on June 8, 1944, he was raised in Oklahoma and Texas, and while attending prep school in Dallas met guitarist Steve Miller. Scaggs joined Miller's group The Marksmen as a vocalist in 1959, and the pair later attended the University of Wisconsin together, where they played in blues bands like The Ardells and the Fabulous Knight Trains.
