“Lido Shuffle” is a song written by Boz Scaggsand David Paich and introduced on the 1976 Boz Scaggs album, Silk Degrees. It was subsequently released as a single in 1977.
Scaggs recalled: “”Lido Shuffle” was a song that I’d been banging around. I…took the idea of the shuffle [from] a song that Fats Dominodid called “The Fat Man” that had a kind of driving shuffle beat that I used to play on the piano, and I just started kind of singing along with it. Then I showed it to Paich and he helped me fill it out. It ended up being “Lido Shuffle”.
By the way, I am going to see another old horn driven group in August – The Ides of March on our upcoming road trip.
Who might the horn driven group be?
I don’t do titles very well but I immediately recognized this song as one of my horn driven favorites of that era.
👍👍And the Lido Shuffle is still a blast.🎶
