Another 'left-fielder' to add the to the 80s Hidden Gems. Boz Scaggs with 'JoJo' which reached #17 US R&B and coincidentally #17 Hot 100 in 1980 which, surprisingly, is much higher than 'What Can I Say' which got to #68 / #42 and was his highest entry in UK Pop chart #10 in 1977. The only other release from him that entered the R&B charts was of course 'Lowdown' #4 / #3 in 1976.
JoJo did get a UK release, but I don't recall ever hearing it at the time (and I was DJing in clubs back then), so must have gone under the radar. It didn't bother the UK chart but what a great little stepper this is!
