We're All Alone -- Boz Scaggs vs Rita Coolidge vs Frankie Valli







"We're All Alone" is a song written by Boz Scaggs, which became a 1977 top-ten hit for Rita Coolidge in the US and the UK. Scaggs introduced it on his 1976 album Silk Degrees. The song was first a hit for Frankie Valli.

A heartfelt ballad which closed Silk Degrees, "We're All Alone" garnered attention soon after the album's March 1976 release. Frankie Valli had a single version from his Valli LP which reached #78 U.S. in August 1976 (#74 Cash Box, #27 Adult Contemporary; Canada #73 Pop, #36 AC).[1]

The Rita Coolidge version of "We're All Alone" was featured on the album Anytime...Anywhere released in March 1977.

The original lyrics of "We're All Alone" include lines "Close your eyes ami" and "Throw it to the wind my love". Coolidge sings these lines as "Close your eyes and dream" and "Owe it to the wind my love".
