Scaggs' own version of "We're All Alone" was the standard B-side of his international single release " Lido Shuffle" including its release in the US and UK where "Lido Shuffle" respectively charted at number 11 and number 13. However, in Australia, Scaggs' "We're All Alone" was issued with " Lowdown" as the flip to become a double A-side chart entry reaching number 54 in the autumn of 1977, the only evident instance of the Scaggs original charting. It has been a life of triumphs - including two Grammy awards, a multi-platinum album (Anytime ... Anywhere), plus a string of hits - and heartbreak, often fuelled by the men she hooked up with and a torrid six-year marriage to the love of her life, Kris Kristofferson, doomed to disaster as he womanised and battled booze.
