Moving along in today's Music Interlude, I chose two great songs by a singer/songwriter and Guitarist, Boz Scaggs, performing both "Love Look What You've Done" and "Jo Jo"... He was performing these songs live on "David Foster and Friends"... No lyrics provided as there are two songs...
Background:
"William Royce "Boz" Scaggs (born June 8, 1944) is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist He became prominent for his series of albums in the late 1970s, and songs "Lido Shuffle" and "Lowdown" from Silk Degrees (1976), which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Scaggs continues to write, record music, and tour.
After learning guitar at the age of 12, Scaggs met Steve Miller at St. Mark's School. In 1959, he became the vocalist for Miller's band, the Marksmen. The pair later attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison together, playing in blues bands like the Ardells and the Fabulous Knight Trains.
Leaving school, Scaggs briefly joined the burgeoning R&B scene in London, then traveled on to Sweden as a solo performer, and in 1965 recorded his solo debut album, Boz, which failed commercially. He also had a brief stint with the band the Other Side with Mac MacLeod and Jack Downing." - Read more on Wikipedia.com

Jojo
Boz Scaggs
Look out behind you
Jojo's got his gun
He wouldn't mean to
But you know he likes his fun
Jojo dig those spinning lights
Way out games and dizzy heights
Below him
Jojo dig those Broadway nights
And flashy lines
You know him
He got you covered
You'll know it right out front
Hey, fifty dollars
He'll get you all you want
Ever so rarely, that man in a billion is born
Gentle and soft but who'd just as soon off you
For looking the wrong way as not
Go Jo
His baby stays high
Got to keep her sweet
He keeps her just right
Keeps her on the street
Say, what do you think
Of gentlemen wearing mink?
Gentle and soft
But who'd just as soon off you as not
Go Jo

I was going to post the two song's lyrics, but then reconsidered as I thought the post would be too lengthy... Thank you for posting each separately.. You must have read my mind... LOL!

Look What You've Done To Me
Boz Scaggs
Hope they never end this song
This could take us all night long
I looked at the moon and I felt blue
Then I looked again and I saw you
Eyes like fire in the night
Bridges burning with their light
Now I want to spend the whole night through
And honey, yes, I'd like to spend it all on you
Love, look what you've done to me
Never thought I'd fall again so easily
Oh, love, you wouldn't lie to me
Leading me to feel this way
They might fade and turn to stone
Let's get crazy all alone
Hold me closer than you'd ever dare
Close your eyes and I'll be there
After all is said and done
After all you are the one
Take me up your stairs and through the door
Take me where we don't…
