BEFORE IT WAS A HIT SONG…
These songs are well known
but you may not know about the earlier attempts to score a hit record with
prior versions of the same song.
Miss Sun
Boz Scaggs included a new track for his compilation album entitled 'Hits!' in 1980. The following year, the single peaked at #14 on the US chart. It was written by David Paich.
The original version of "Miss Sun" was recorded as a demo. Drawing inspiration from an Al Green greatest hits album, Paich offered his new composition to the other members of the group Toto. Initially, it was slated for the band's debut album, but remained a demo.
Scaggs' version features members of Toto and female guest vocalist Lisa Dalbello. The latter had previously performed a guest vocal on the Toto demo. "Miss Sun" finally appeared on one of the band's albums: 'Toto XX', in 1998.
Each new song will be added to the
