That's awesome bro !!! I am most likely around his age (63) and Boz was the man in the 70s for a short time, but his music is still good shit !!! 😎✊️🎶🎶🎶🎶
Well. I’m almost 78. Love this music Dancing around my kitchen. 😀😀😀. Going to introduce to my yoga club tomorrow. Usually it’s Pete Tong. Goes great with. Qgong tapping plus cross crawl exercises. Good for left and right brain balance to start and warm up. Then on to some series chill music for yoga and meditation. We need balance all things Loud and quiet. Light and dark. The 80 yr olds love it 😀😀 🌈💜
@@diggy-d8w I was 27 in the summer of 1976... worked up in the mountains of the Catskills...but listened to NYC FM stations through the cable service they had in the hotel I worked...How I long for those days!!!
Is there anyone else out there, That when you listen to music like this. Think back to how old you were and how care free life was, As a 61 yr old man who has lost both parents and some friends, This song almost makes me want to cry.
Brit here: This great song reminds me of the summer of 1976, coming downstairs on a bright morning and hearing this on the Radio 1 breakfast show, getting ready for school. Those feelings never leave you.
😅 I'm currently a 31 year old and always had this playing thanks to my parents in my childhood years. May y'all OG's continue to rock on to this!!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Much love and peace ✌🏽🕊️ world wide!
That’s what happens when you combine Boz’s incredible talent and songwriting with Jeff Porcaro on drums, David Hungate on bass, and David Paich on keyboards (who also co-wrote 6 songs and arranged the whole album). Essentially, showcasing the first three members of what would, in just one year, become TOTO.
@@herbquick2682 It is well known within that movie's cast's comments on a couple of the specials that have come out over the years etc....The Bee Gees music was not used. It is indeed, shocking...since the movements and the feel of the entire movie is so Bee Gees though!! I kind of wish I didn't know this.
I am a black man and I love this song. Boz Scaggs actually has some soul. I love the arrangement, the vocal, and the lyrics. This is one damn good song.
That's funny. I didn't realize Soul music had a color. I am Mexican and have played bass for 20 plus years. Mainly Blues,Motown, R&B and never knew that soul had a color. What about funk? Does it have a color? I know plenty of black musicians that can't bring the funk!
I miss my Dad so much. He use to play these guys loud in the garage while working on whatever project he had at the moment. Cant wait to see him in the sky.
On the night I met the love of my life at the disco, this was the the song being played when I first asked her if she would like to dance. Thanks Boz for helping launch a beautiful lifetime
I lived in Southern Nevada and met a friend that drummed and was from the the Hollywood area. We talked about bands and musicians and the subject of Boz Scaggs. He said Jeff Porcaro died a while back. I didn't sleep that night. But I dreamed I saw his tomb. Years later I found his marker in the online. It was just like the dream. Rest In Peace Jeff Porcaro. My friend and musician brother.
Huge Boz Scaggs fan, went to boarding school with his son Oscar Scaggs, who tragically died of an overdose on new years eve 1999. RIP my friend. You are missed.
And that is how to teach the kids today to appreciate GOOD MUSIC! My Father, God Rest his Mighty Soul and my Dear Mother were wise enough to turn us kids on to All The Greats while we grew up. Now I have one of the most well rounded appreciation of music that could be!!! Well Done!!!
Another white guy with a soul. First heard this song in 1976 while going to college one morning in Puerto Rico on the AFRTS (the Roosevelt Roads Naval Radio Station no longer in operation on the Island) and boy did I hummed that tune all day long in my head. Great music back then...
When my dad played this.. a good mood was on. Greatest of memories dancin with him. He's 81 now n I'm 50.. I should put this on next time I'm over n grab his hand to dance!
Absolutely... Lucky girl.... I don't know what music my father listened to. He always had head phones on.... Drag.... I think it was elevator music..at least from what I saw. Which makes no sense. He was a pretty Cool guy. He'd be 97 now. Or 98. I've googled early RB and jazz. And some things never change. I LOLed again the other day. Seeing what they were singing about .. Even in like the 20's.
Damn right! His Toto partner Steve Lukather summed up best: There were a lot of guys who played faster or with more chops, but there is no living soul alive who played a groove like him. When you think of drums, a lot of people think of technique, but really, drums are a rhythm instrument, and the basis of all music is the rhythm. And the basis of all grooves is the drums. I could play just straight 8th notes, and he could play something and it would make me sound Godlike. It's all finesse. It's that little extra something. You either have it or you don't. He was touched by God when he was born.
It's hard to pick my favorite from all the gems on Silk Degrees. But I'd have to say this one is, mostly due to the bassline. David Hungate lays down a hell of a groove.
This isn't Boz Scaggs answering you here. He's only left this comment on women's channels! He will try and get you to join you on Whatsapp. Be very aware! It's a scam!!
I used to practice the drum part. drove me crazy trying to get the hi-hats right. ..... until I listened on headphones and realized that the hats weren't done on one take and are doubled on the recording
I'm 47 and have been white knuckling through life not paying attention or being open to different things. Something happened and I'm awake and discovering all of the things I've missed along the way. This is a great song and I'm so thrilled and thankful to discover the great things I've missed.
74 this, black Toronto girl who just loved good music no matter who sang and played it. I tell my grand children that Good is Good music is Universal, like what you like and always have Music in your Heart❤❤❤
@CapitanPeso Man, you say Chicano, and my mind goes straight to Carlos Santana!! He was rockin when I was a baby and I love everything he has ever done!! Carlos playing the Salmon made by PRS... good times! ❤️🎶❤️ I listen to both him and Boz all the time - both fantastic musicians with tunes that will live forever!
This reminds me of driving on Highway 101 toward San Francisco with my new wife on our honeymoon - both of us so young and so full of hope. Good memories.
Life is what what you make it it, being positive life enjoyable. I grew up poor but never let it get me down. In my 60's now life is about ups and downs. Just remember don't argue about the little things.
totally agree!!! as a teenager in the 80s techno pop was my thing,but with time I moved on to other musics snd styles and found out I could soend the rest if my life listening to the music of the decade late sixties to late seventies,my God they friggin had everything,snd most of it good! any average composition from this time makes any present pop song sound ridiculously lame and silly...
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤❤ I lost both of my parents on the same day 😢😢😢😢😢in 2020 at home in hospice care I was watching them die slowly from Dad cronic COPD & Diebtes Mom stage 4 kidney disease and Alzheimer's disease....... They left behind 14 children 9 girls and 5 boys..... I've seeing a psychiatrist twice week from my fiance stage 4 cancer of the esophagus he died in my arms at the hospital 😢😢😢😢 When someone you love dies 💔 in your arms your traumatized 💔 for life..😢😢😢 Thanks in advance for ready my comment 🤗🌹🌹
@@islandgirl9479I hear ya RE: permanent trauma from losing a loved 1. W/that said; steer clear of psych meds. I know that it's probably not the proper 4um 2 address such issues but since u did bring the matter up as it pertains 2 seeing a psychiatrist; I just wanna in4m u accordingly.
The Album Silk Degrees is an R&B musical masterpiece. It is timeless. I was a teenager when this album came out. Now, in 2024 at the age of nearly 64, it sounds as crisp, as it did back in 1978. This is Skaggs perennial "genius album."
Give everything I have to get music back the way it was in the 70's. The music today lacks heart, creativity, and Star power. I do not listen to today's music at all. One or two songs in 5 years maybe are worth listening to. I take myself back to the days of my HS years and just relax to the best music the world has ever know. 60/70's. None better.
You lived in the sweet spot man, big time! I envy my dad who just turned 80. He was around for Elvis. He was around for the golden age of Jazz. He was around for the 70's and experienced some of the best music in decades. He even lived through the advent of the computer age and the Internet, even if later in life.
Just saw Boz in concert last night and the man brought down the house, at 78 he has not skipped a beat. First heard him with Silk Degrees when I was in college in the 70's. Look up cool in the dictionary, Boz Skaggs is the definition!!
Had the opportunity to see Boz in concert this past weekend. At 78 his voice is still as clear and unique as it was the day “Lowdown” was released, which is unusual in older rockers. He’s a wealthy man and tours just because he likes to and doesn’t need to and it’s clear in his show he’s having fun. And his current band is talented and tight too. They play every note perfectly, on time, with a drummer AND a separate percussionist with bongos, two keyboardists, one who also plays the woodwinds, a funky bass player who doesn’t miss a beat on “Lowdown” and another fellow guitarist who looks like he’s been playing with Boz for quite some time. And of course Boz can still run off a good riff on his axe too! If you get the chance, go see his show - you won’t regret it and he’ll have the crowd dancing in the aisles!
I went to a lot of concerts in the 70's and 80's. Artist's I missed out on were Steely Dan, Toto, The Allman Brothers, Little Feat and of course Boz Scaggs. I wish I had a time machine-lol
@@alcambrola2834 Well, Boz is still out there, as is Earth, Wind, and Fire (3 71-year old original members), Santana, America, and the Doobie Brothers (they still sound great!). Catch them while you can - they won't last forever!
I grew up in the 70s and was unaware of how great it was. Post Vietnam National Hangover and guilt because the hippies lost the war. Drugs, losers and black activists...kinda like today. However, looking in the rear view mirror the music was on point.
My brother introduced me to this song when I was 8. We both play piano. Life came full circle musically for me today!!! My middle son wanted a bass guitar for his bday last week and I woke up to him practicing this masterpiece!! 🎶 🎵
A 1976 classic song that was a pop/r&b crossover smash that hit number three pop and number five r&b and also won the 1976 Grammy award for best r&b performance.
Never gets old & today I heard another classic fr early 80s on the radio no less - fat Larry’s band ZOOM , music has no end and no beginning and you either get it or you don’t 👋 fr Sydney australia
Jeff Porcaro’s drum kit front and center - such a lovely groove and he sustains it for five minutes. Paich’s composing and keyboards are perfection. And Boz tells the story with such soul. Boz and David (Paich) never thought this one would be a hit, but here we are decades later. It’s still fresh and still a hit. And that is the lowdown on “Lowdown”.
Though young, was there when it came out and stopped what I was doing the 1st time I heard it and even understood most of the lyrics as a kid:). But it was a hit out the box as soon as that DJ (in Cleveland or Cincy) started playing it from the album. And guessing sometime in the 90s I read they didn't think it would be a hit. Which should tell you how hard that process is.
Jeff Porcaro is simply one of the best since he was a kid. What a family tree of musicians, his dad had him on the right path when he was younger. ❤️🙏❤️
I'm 69 and still have time so I'm always playing my music from late 60's and 70's for my granddaughter. She now knows the difference between real bands vs a music machine.
For those wondering, the other musicians are guitarists Fred Tackett and Louie Shelton; bassist David Hungate; drummer Jeff Porcaro; keyboardist David Paich; horn players Bud Shank, Chuck Findley, Dick Hyde, Jim Horn, Paul Hubinon, Plas Johnson, Tom Scott, and Vincent DeRosa; and conductor Sidney Sharp.
Yes the whole song is fantastic,no doubt! It just happened to be the bass that thumped those euphoric vibes first! Great add to my vinyl collection overall!
Troy Crane Boz has been my favorite since Silk Degrees, which by the way is the coolest album title ever, but the funny thing is SD was produced by Joe Wissert, who at the time was best known for producing Helen Reddy if you remember her. How the record company decided on him is a total mystery, but he did one hell of a job!
Reading these comments brings me back to the old adage......"Good is Good and Classics will remain CLASSICS" This is when music was music. Boz Scaggs, Stealy Dan, Joe Jackson, Doobie Brothers, Eagles. The quality of these groups, the quality of their music, musicianship. From the get-go, it all had staying power. So, here we are 60 and 70 years later it still sounds New and fresh. That's just the view from my saddle.
You are blessed.. This funky white bloke is the original soul brother. Respect from England and l hope that the fourth generation will have the same tastes.
This song came on the radio on my way home... so what do I do.... Come home and put it on repeat while I cook my dinner. Love me some Boz...Still listening in 2023!!
Today's my 54th birthday, Gregory (Sept. 2)...and I am listening to this on our in-house sound system, all through the house...and I feel like I am boogie-ing down the hall in 7th grade all over again....yes ma'am......
My older sister sadly had the chore of dropping me off at school. She would blast this song in her convertible 69 impala. And she would always have the top down and wear these big dark sunglasses even when it wasn't sunny out and in the morning. I used to feel weird, I was in elementary...lol, but then I realized my sis was really cooooool!! She still is, and her husband and kids think so too!! :)
Was your sister’s sunglasses the kind that were dark on top light on bottom, and were they huge? I saw a lot of that particularly in the Summer of 1977-when I was nine.
Amen Debbie...I'm 73 and still put this album on the turn table and CRANK it up!! I'm disabled now but hey...guess what Debbie...I dance like " h**l " sitting down!😊
I'm 35 , and I love Boz Scaggs' songs, I have been listening to him since I was 7 years old, the first song I heard from him was JOJO, from then on I heard more of his songs and I fell in love with them all, now that it is 2024 I continue listening to these classics that will never die. Greetings from Peru.
And just think. waiting in the wings was Steely Dan, Earth, Wind, and Fire, The Commodores, The Eagles, FLEET WOOD MAC, and on and on and on and on andon, and on and on and on and on, almost into infinity.
Hi Donna. I'm your 100th like. This timeless classic is so smooth & strangely uplifting. *Love look what you've Done to Me* is another that instantly takes me back to my youthful days💕🌞😻🌊❤
@@kenperk9854 I bought Tom Petty, Heart & Fleetwood Mac same day. Loved Pink Floyd n Bowie, Savoy Brown, Starship, Quicksilver, & the Kinks & Stevie Wonder & Winwood forever😻🤏🌞
@@KateBates22zabu My first two were Rumors and this Album. Still listen to both on the regular. How many albums has anyone bought in any decade since that they can say the same? Didn't have enough for AJA too. Had to save some for weed. HA!
This should go in a time vault for any future human or alien race of beings who come to earth thousands of years from now and want to understand what kicked around in our souls in this time. An untouchable classic. A slice of buttered toast hot out of the toaster.
The buttered toast reference reminded me of my first concert, Jethro Tull and Foghat opened. Wonder'ing Aloud of the Aqualung album. Read the lyrics. Very nice buttered toast. Wink wink, haha
Boz Scaggs sounds just as good live. He sings with no alterations, and his musicians play the music live. Pure. These were the songs of OUR youth. No cussing or degenerated fake gangster BS, just music.
First heard this back in 1976 when it first came out. I was leaving the airport headed to my grandparents house and this was playing on the radio in the car while riding down the highway . Such a groovy tune. It made me happy. Good memories. Miss the 70s.
I was born in the mid-80s but I miss the 70s, too. I grew up watching films and listening to music from different decades, and the 60s, 70s and 80s are my favourite decades. Strange that I feel nostalgic about things I did not experience. I always get a bittersweet feeling when someone who experienced the 70s relates their stories. I got the same feeling reading yours.
Timeless classic
the past was considered for attendance in daily morning prayer, noon mass and Sunday worship- this is not Holy Bible scripture- this is the Dirty Lowdown.
...totally ,fer sure...
DIRTY LOWDOWN TO THE STREETS
70 year old drummer here, recommended this tune to my band members. We play it a lot with a great reaction from the crowd.
Great call! Keep rocking it!!
That's awesome bro !!! I am most likely around his age (63) and Boz was the man in the 70s for a short time, but his music is still good shit !!! 😎✊️🎶🎶🎶🎶
"Runnin'" -Earth Wind and Firer
"Contusion" - Steve Wonder
Well. I’m almost 78. Love this music Dancing around my kitchen. 😀😀😀. Going to introduce to my yoga club tomorrow. Usually it’s Pete Tong. Goes great with. Qgong tapping plus cross crawl exercises.

And the drummer was the famous Jeff Porcaro and the rest of Toto as the backing band.
Absolutely, the drum really gives it that great groove.
@@BadlndsBob Jeff Porcaro is THE Groove Master

Happy birthday to your mum
Love from Australia 🇦🇺🌺
can't believe this album is almost 50 years old, makes me feel 18 again, I wore that album out!
I know, me too! I was about 20 when this song came out, and I STILL MISS the 1970s! Best Decade to grow up in!
almost 50 your still too young for this LOL....I'm the same It's my Dad's music love it though

This won the Grammy for best R&B song and for good reason. Its immaculate. One of the grooviest songs ever.

They make songs joinning templates.

Unless it's for persona
Sure don’t. 70’s was best
This is probably the best blue-eyed soul cut that was ever put on wax!

I was too young to appreciate Boz Scaggs in the 70s...but I sure do appreciate him now.
Oh it's okay you like all that matters now. 😊💃❤
Didn’t like when I was a kid till I grew up 62 now
I was 20 when this was on the charts and he dominated! What a time to live in as far as music is concerned.
Same, born in '70, had little interest in his music until lately
Lucky to be so young, yet with good taste.

That's so cool. Hope for many more years for you both.

Both correct. However, if I could play an instrument, I would want to play Dave Hungate’s bass.
Wow I "Love JEFF POCARO'
Porcaro is wonderful!!
He was something
I never get tired to listening to this song, his voice, the music, the chorus line...a timeless song...
Love this song and I'm 68
Same
I’ve got tickets to see him this summer. Totally stoked. ❤️🍎💋🎼🥃🍺🌿🎸
He crushed it last night! Enjoy!
Me too I'm 67
Saw Boz in concert, a couple of summers ago. He sounds as fabulous today as he ever did. Such a cool sound!
Me too, he sounded just like the albums.
Cool!
JEALOUS!
Where did you see bars at in concert I would love to see him I just love his voice and his music 🎶
Awsome song
Jeff pocaro has that crisp, snap on the drums! He was 22 when he played on this track.
Mate, you don't know how many times I've listened to the first two seconds of this song to enjoy that opening drum fill!
Oh wow!! I never knew that!
Porcaro was a beast on drums. Love Toto and all the Porcaro brothers. Such great talent
I lived in Southern Nevada and met a friend that drummed and was from the the Hollywood area. We talked about bands and musicians and the subject of Boz Scaggs. He said Jeff Porcaro died a while back. I didn't sleep that night. But I dreamed I saw his tomb. Years later I found his marker in the online. It was just like the dream. Rest In Peace Jeff Porcaro.

why did he die of an OD at boarding school? needed his father's attention; felt dismissed by his father; needed closeness, parenting⁉ sad.
50 years later and it’s just as cool as the day it came out!
Not Quite 50yrs yet. Release in March 1976
Cooler!

What he or she 💓💓💓said..
Sad sad Truth the dirty lowdown....😎
My 2 Year old came into my office while this was playing and started dancing. Kids going to have good taste in music. Thanks Mr. Scaggs!
Yessss he will.😂💃🏼🕺
And that is how to teach the kids today to appreciate GOOD MUSIC! My Father, God Rest his Mighty Soul and my Dear Mother were wise enough to turn us kids on to All The Greats while we grew up. Now I have one of the most well rounded appreciation of music that could be!!! Well Done!!!
Iam 64yr old now ..still cutting the rug to it ..love it
You've got a nice office Sir!
Kids know good music when they hear it.
Another white guy with a soul. First heard this song in 1976 while going to college one morning in Puerto Rico on the AFRTS (the Roosevelt Roads Naval Radio Station no longer in operation on the Island) and boy did I hummed that tune all day long in my head. Great music back then...
Still is baby!
Right on Rosey Roads! We played football against them, Commonwealth Comets all the way.
And there was Bobby Caldwell 🙌🏻
I’m 59. Remember listening to this when I was 9
Absolute fucking grooves!
Blue-eyed soul at it’s finest.
When my dad played this.. a good mood was on. Greatest of memories dancin with him. He's 81 now n I'm 50.. I should put this on next time I'm over n grab his hand to dance!
Absolutely... Lucky girl.... I don't know what music my father listened to. He always had head phones on.... Drag....
I think it was elevator music..at least from what I saw. Which makes no sense. He was a pretty
Cool guy. He'd be 97 now. Or 98.
I've googled early RB and jazz. And some things never change. I LOLed again the other day. Seeing what they were singing about .. Even in like the 20's.

Jeff Porcaro's drumming is so so rythmic and smooth. Just makes you groove. Miss you Jeff!! One of the greats!!
He sure had a way with those sticks in his hand.✌
Damn right! His Toto partner Steve Lukather summed up best: There were a lot of guys who played faster or with more chops, but there is no living soul alive who played a groove like him. When you think of drums, a lot of people think of technique, but really, drums are a rhythm instrument, and the basis of all music is the rhythm. And the basis of all grooves is the drums. I could play just straight 8th notes, and he could play something and it would make me sound Godlike. It's all finesse. It's that little extra something. You either have it or you don't. He was touched by God when he was born.
@@IronMan-tk8uc well said. The best thing a drummer can do is make the guys around him sound good. Porcaro was so good at that.
@@TheDrummer51 And that was Jeff's trademark!
so sweet
What a bassline.The best ever.
It's hard to pick my favorite from all the gems on Silk Degrees. But I'd have to say this one is, mostly due to the bassline. David Hungate lays down a hell of a groove.
Great groove great keyboards its all excellent!
Unbelievable, how kool it is
It's the bass slap nobody slaps like that
🎶🎸🎹👏👍. . .
A very special Boz Scaggs , band , and singers . Was sooo popular in the 70’s ! I’ll always remember ! Thanks still in 11- 2024 !
Boz Scaggs' voice is air-conditioned, it's so cool.
Too cool

Cooler than the other side of the pillow

I love this song; it's still so cool after all these years.
You might say...it's eternal
Yes I totally agree..
Feels good don't it? Just makes everything 😎
This isn't Boz Scaggs answering you here.
He's only left this comment on women's channels!
He will try and get you to join you on Whatsapp.
Be very aware!
It's a scam!!
Absolutely cool his voice especially that bass and drum line ❤️💯
This song has such a great groove.
The drummer is working that high hat.
Jeff Porcaro is the drummer. Formerly with the band Toto. His work with the sticks is legendary. Look him up.✌
@@terencem8795 Porcaro was an F'n Beast and oddly enough most of TOTO played on this record behind Boz!
I used to practice the drum part. drove me crazy trying to get the hi-hats right. ..... until I listened on headphones and realized that the hats weren't done on one take and are doubled on the recording
The late Jeff Porcaro on drums. Simply the best.
The Groove Master
#RIP Jeff Porcaro
It really doesn't matter how many times I've heard this song, it's still as fresh as the day it was recorded.❤
Today’s music doesn’t even compare! A timeless classic that will live forever!! Boz you’re the boss!!!
Grooved to this song in 1976 and I'm still grooving to it in 2020
Me too
Yes Sir.
2021 **********************************************************************************

I'm 47 and have been white knuckling through life not paying attention or being open to different things. Something happened and I'm awake and discovering all of the things I've missed along the way. This is a great song and I'm so thrilled and thankful to discover the great things I've missed.
May God bless you and keep you safe 💗🙏
Keep moving forward!!😊
Never too late ! Enjoy the ride ! ✨
Enjoy the music 🎉
And immediately the scales fell from his eyes. Welcome to the here and now my fellow traveler.

Exactly! As a Chicano we grew up on all the greats it don't matter what color music is universal Amen!
Well stop beating your self up and tell them your self how's that forgive more hate less that means you too
@CapitanPeso Man, you say Chicano, and my mind goes straight to Carlos Santana!! He was rockin when I was a baby and I love everything he has ever done!! Carlos playing the Salmon made by PRS... good times! ❤️🎶❤️ I listen to both him and Boz all the time - both fantastic musicians with tunes that will live forever!
Words to live by
That's really a great share. NOT.

Yep those evening in my home town driving
Life is what what you make it it, being positive life enjoyable. I grew up poor but never let it get me down. In my 60's now life is about ups and downs. Just remember don't argue about the little things.
how lovely
Dude, that's a beautiful picture 👍
It was no coincidence that the 70s probably had the best music all around whether it was rock jazz R&B soul you name it😎
Don't forget the 60's!
totally agree!!! as a teenager in the 80s techno pop was my thing,but with time I moved on to other musics snd styles and found out I could soend the rest if my life listening to the music of the decade late sixties to late seventies,my God they friggin had everything,snd most of it good! any average composition from this time makes any present pop song sound ridiculously lame and silly...
Listen to the 50s and 60 but I mainly grew up in the 70s 80s, and , 90s they were putting some good laid-back modern songs out and soft rock music.🎶🎶
I agree!!..
Yes sir it was good times. We had it all back then. I'm 65 now but my mind is felling those great teenage years.
Rest in peace Dad he loved this song

It’s 2020 and still listening to the greatest music ever.
There you go 🤙

Music like this never ages !
Same. Never gets old!
greatest choon ever?
This type of music never gets too old!!! Rock on brothers/sisters!!!!!
What gendre is it? Its amazing
YOUR TAG says it all ...this whole album was HOT S#@T in the 70s...
You got that right!❤
They just don't make music like this anymore. I'm 70 now and cannot stop listening to it.
@@acoustic5738 They call it Yacht Rock (!) these days.
Jeff Pocaro's drumming and beats are still knocking my heart.What a great drummer he was .I miss him.
coooool porcaro ^^
I agree, I think this song is THE greatest, most grooving drum part ever. And the hi-hat overdub is so clever.
Same here. I loved Boz & Jeff. 💛
😎😎😎
Damn straight. No Pocaro no Lowdown
The Album Silk Degrees is an R&B musical masterpiece. It is timeless. I was a teenager when this album came out. Now, in 2024 at the age of nearly 64, it sounds as crisp, as it did back in 1978. This is Skaggs perennial "genius album."
I,m 82 and loved skating to this song.
I’m 65! This is still the best era of music ever written and produced!!
At least we had warning 😉
...damn straight.
Amen!
Oh my it was so very good!!! I'm 58 and yes. That music is timeless.💖
@mrs.a3288 Man, we had it so good!! I'm 61 and feel so lucky to have grown up in the era of these tunes! ❤️🎶❤️🎵❤️
All the musicians on this cut are the finest in the world. Pure quality.
Tell 'em hahaha
Whoever he hired to replace Jeff can't hold a candle to him.
yeeeeeesssssss
The flute is kickin @sickleshapedlife
Indeed
Give everything I have to get music back the way it was in the 70's. The music today lacks heart, creativity, and Star power. I do not listen to today's music at all. One or two songs in 5 years maybe are worth listening to. I take myself back to the days of my HS years and just relax to the best music the world has ever know. 60/70's. None better.
That's why I enjoy listening to some joints from Bruno Mars and Jamiroquai since those artists sometimes come out with songs that sound so very old
Listen to a song called Move by Saint Hotel
And then I think you'll probably listen to a little more
***** Actually, they started out in '93. And that's an English group I'd rather listen to. Unlike One Direction.
the most and best years for music was 1969-1978 and that's a fact JACK...
Daddy Skydiver l agree,but I think you forgot about the eighties,what do you think?
Boz Scaggs is one of those guys who's voice sounds like it fits their name perfectly. His parents nailed it.
Truly one of the greatest songs ever. Has a great steely Dan vibe, great arrangements, smooth patina, what a voice- just perfection.
Ditto. So sweet. Good to read reviews from years past & right up til today March 2023. Boz will be appreciated for years yet to come!
This blew the pants off any of the blue-eyed soul songs of the Righteous Brothers. Nice mix of soul and jazz vibes.
@@southlatiger
Blue the pants off of anybody.
😢yup look up his biz. Great
Steely Dan covering this! THAT would must be must-listening.
Soul has no color barrier, neither does funk--music is a universal sound that ties us all together
Amen
Ain't that right, brotha!
"Soul has no color barrier, neither does funk--music is a universal sound that ties us all together"...I agree!
Very well said 👍
You just made it a color barrier by saying it's not. If something doesn't exist, then why mention it?
Some songs just seem to be timeless.. this is one of them.
Look out for that low down...that dirty dirty low down!
Exactly! This song is like fine wine.
AS I GET OLDER, IAM BOLD ENOUGH TO SING EVEN LOUDER...LOL👍😁😁❤🇿🇦
Us 65 year old's have a great range of music we love. I think we were lucky to be living during the last 50 years of music.
❤
You lived in the sweet spot man, big time! I envy my dad who just turned 80. He was around for Elvis. He was around for the golden age of Jazz. He was around for the 70's and experienced some of the best music in decades. He even lived through the advent of the computer age and the Internet, even if later in life.
Verdade Tom você falou tudo,tivemos o privilégio de termos músicas maravilhosas.
65 here, it has been more than great!❤
I'm 63, and have lived thru some great decades of music with meaningful lyrics.
Just saw Boz in concert last night and the man brought down the house, at 78 he has not skipped a beat. First heard him with Silk Degrees when I was in college in the 70's. Look up cool in the dictionary, Boz Skaggs is the definition!!
glad to hear that, he will be in the area shortly and we were trying to decide whether or not to get tickets!!!
Gay. Gay as hell.
@@joyteague2688 I would love to see Boz.
I envy you Mano ✊
I was just thinking is the man still performing, you answered my question.👍
Had the opportunity to see Boz in concert this past weekend. At 78 his voice is still as clear and unique as it was the day “Lowdown” was released, which is unusual in older rockers. He’s a wealthy man and tours just because he likes to and doesn’t need to and it’s clear in his show he’s having fun. And his current band is talented and tight too. They play every note perfectly, on time, with a drummer AND a separate percussionist with bongos, two keyboardists, one who also plays the woodwinds, a funky bass player who doesn’t miss a beat on “Lowdown” and another fellow guitarist who looks like he’s been playing with Boz for quite some time. And of course Boz can still run off a good riff on his axe too! If you get the chance, go see his show - you won’t regret it and he’ll have the crowd dancing in the aisles!
I went to a lot of concerts in the 70's and 80's. Artist's I missed out on were Steely Dan, Toto, The Allman Brothers, Little Feat and of course Boz Scaggs.
I wish I had a time machine-lol
Ultimate cool , makes you feel the groove❤️
He was nicknamed 'Bosley' by his schoolmates, and he turned it into 'Boz.'. Smart move!
@@alcambrola2834 Well, Boz is still out there, as is Earth, Wind, and Fire (3 71-year old original members), Santana, America, and the Doobie Brothers (they still sound great!). Catch them while you can - they won't last forever!
He's still alive??? I thought he passed??
Proof that the 1970s were way better than I formerly remembered. Still the essence of cool after almost half a century.
AGREED 😊
I grew up in the 70s and was unaware of how great it was. Post Vietnam National Hangover and guilt because the hippies lost the war. Drugs, losers and black activists...kinda like today. However, looking in the rear view mirror the music was on point.
Nothing touches the 70s for music in my not very humble opinion.
They just don’t make music 🎵 like this anymore
Yes
My brother introduced me to this song when I was 8. We both play piano. Life came full circle musically for me today!!! My middle son wanted a bass guitar for his bday last week and I woke up to him practicing this masterpiece!! 🎶 🎵
A 1976 classic song that was a pop/r&b crossover smash that hit number three pop and number five r&b and also won the 1976 Grammy award for best r&b performance.
Best R&B Song for Scaggs and David Paich of Toto band.
I was a DJ in the early 80's who played this song over a million times. Never ever heard a grove so smooth and sweet
j ai aussi souvenir de ce morceau entendu x fois au LEM à Vars extra comme musique
Never gets old & today I heard another classic fr early 80s on the radio no less - fat Larry’s band ZOOM , music has no end and no beginning and you either get it or you don’t 👋 fr Sydney australia
I can honestly say,...YOU DIDN'T play it quite enuff:):):)
This one and May be NO LIMITS by Breakwater can be another one.
Jeff Porcaro’s drum kit front and center - such a lovely groove and he sustains it for five minutes. Paich’s composing and keyboards are perfection. And Boz tells the story with such soul. Boz and David (Paich) never thought this one would be a hit, but here we are decades later. It’s still fresh and still a hit. And that is the lowdown on “Lowdown”.
great synopsis sir
Though young, was there when it came out and stopped what I was doing the 1st time I heard it and even understood most of the lyrics as a kid:). But it was a hit out the box as soon as that DJ (in Cleveland or Cincy) started playing it from the album. And guessing sometime in the 90s I read they didn't think it would be a hit. Which should tell you how hard that process is.
You must be a writer. Awesome description!
Pause10two4
Never thought it would be a hit, but there it is
One of the best albums of the 70's
Jeff Porcaro's drumming so was so damn precise and perfect. He will always rank as the best in my opinion.
I kinda just go "of course its jeff porcaro!" now
Best groove drummer in history, ask Keltner or Blaine etc.
Jeff Porcaro is simply one of the best since he was a kid. What a family tree of musicians, his dad had him on the right path when he was younger. ❤️🙏❤️
I'm 69 and still have time so I'm always playing my music from late 60's and 70's for my granddaughter. She now knows the difference between real bands vs a music machine.
Classic fo sho
A lot of young people like '80s music, too. I don't even call the stuff on radio music.

Nobody cares.
I 69
For those wondering, the other musicians are guitarists Fred Tackett and Louie Shelton; bassist David Hungate; drummer Jeff Porcaro; keyboardist David Paich; horn players Bud Shank, Chuck Findley, Dick Hyde, Jim Horn, Paul Hubinon, Plas Johnson, Tom Scott, and Vincent DeRosa; and conductor Sidney Sharp.
For some reason, I was thinking that Les Dudek played on this...don't remember why I thought that.
Jerry McCoy Probably because both Dudek and Scaggs were members of the Steve Miller Band.
hey you know too!!!!!!!!!!!! and what about Steely and Steve Miller?....but i hear yah!!!!!
Can't believe I'm hearing the name "Les Dudek", it's been awhile.
half of Toto!
I am 64 yrs old! What wonderful songs! We’re all alone. The best songs at all time ! Fore ever!
He did it better than that female.
THIS SONG IS A CLASSIC JAM SO THANK YOU BOZ SCAGGS.
True that*******
no Joke about that*****!!!!
Yes indeed!
The bass and the horns are just out of this galaxy!!!!!
That's David Hungate on bass , jeff porcaro on drums and David patch on keyboards all of Toto
Drummer is a clock, strings, guitars, singing superb, I wonder wonder wonder wonder who uuuuuu, what a song man!
Hey man, there is a lot going on in this song...more than what you mention...
and those strings... there they are pretending they aren't .
Yes the whole song is fantastic,no doubt! It just happened to be the bass that thumped those euphoric vibes first! Great add to my vinyl collection overall!
Boz Scaggs.........The coolest, smoothest white bro of them all! Great tune that I have been listing to for 4 decades! Boz never gets old!
Troy Crane Along with Michael Mcdonald
Absolutely, Michael.
Troy Crane Boz has been my favorite since Silk Degrees, which by the way is the coolest album title ever, but the funny thing is SD was produced by Joe Wissert, who at the time was best known for producing Helen Reddy if you remember her. How the record company decided on him is a total mystery, but he did one hell of a job!
Love
I'm all in with ya Bro!!! Me too. Bigtime!
Played this track every week since it came out. I’m now 72, and listening to it before I sleep. 🌻☘️❤️💝🌸🦋🥰
The 70's were cool because of bass lines like this.
True!! Real musicians.
I never liked a bashful bass line, got to hear it.
David Hungate (toto) good bass player
FORREAL
Right on --- and it gets extra nasty in the last minute ⚡⚡⚡
Reading these comments brings me back to the old adage......"Good is Good and Classics will remain CLASSICS" This is when music was music. Boz Scaggs, Stealy Dan, Joe Jackson, Doobie Brothers, Eagles. The quality of these groups, the quality of their music, musicianship. From the get-go, it all had staying power. So, here we are 60 and 70 years later it still sounds New and fresh.
That's just the view from my saddle.
I'm with ya Danny😊😂!
Me..too!!👍❤❤
Average white band to add to that list
Sounds good to me
...true dat homes,...the essence of kleen cookin' jams.
Fun fact: Jeff Porcaro was a mere 22y when he laid down this highly infectious drumtrack.
RIP Jeff
❤
He was a bad motor scooter.
That is some cool jazz drum. 😎
Is this a mambo or a cha cha? 🤔
My $ on a chacha.
22y?! You mean he was part of an algebra equasion?!
Love the Man and the song! Im 67 now, 3 generations, Me, my son, my grandson love this music! Sept 13,2024! Patty1957
You are blessed..
This funky white bloke is the original soul brother.
Respect from England and l hope that the fourth generation will have the same tastes.
This song came on the radio on my way home... so what do I do.... Come home and put it on repeat while I cook my dinner. Love me some Boz...Still listening in 2023!!
without doubt!
I was cleaning my kitchen while listening to this song, as I was singing along.😅
Saw Boz at the Kaufman (Kansas City) in 2022. He’s still as smooth as 20 year old scotch.
And 2024❤
2024!
In 1976 I was eleven years old and I dug this song , 2019 now(54) still dig this song😀can ya dig it? I knew that you could 😎
gregory hudson LOVE this comment. 👍 I was nine lol
Katerina Kiaha I’m willing to bet your extra cool too, then and now🤗

Keep rockin😀
In 1976 i was 21. This song takes me back.......👍😊
My older sister sadly had the chore of dropping me off at school. She would blast this song in her convertible 69 impala. And she would always have the top down and wear these big dark sunglasses even when it wasn't sunny out and in the morning. I used to feel weird, I was in elementary...lol, but then I realized my sis was really cooooool!! She still is, and her husband and kids think so too!! :)
You are one lucky Cat !!! I hope you Thank your Beautiful Sister for your great taste in Music 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Those sunglasses would be RayBan Wayfarer, and that lack of sun would be the Cali “June Gloom” I’m sure 😉
Definitely older sister cool😎and knows good music.✌️
Hott
Was your sister’s sunglasses the kind that were dark on top light on bottom, and were they huge? I saw a lot of that particularly in the Summer of 1977-when I was nine.
Featuring the guitar work of the great Louie Shelton! Fantastic. Always dug this song.
Been listening to this near 50 years now...still love it as much as the first time I heard it ❤
If anything, it's even better, now that we have 50 years of music to compare it to...
I know you have so many great stories and memories to share
Show ❤
Amen Debbie...I'm 73 and still put this album on the turn table and CRANK it up!! I'm disabled now but hey...guess what Debbie...I dance like " h**l " sitting down!😊

I'm 35 , and I love Boz Scaggs' songs, I have been listening to him since I was 7 years old, the first song I heard from him was JOJO, from then on I heard more of his songs and I fell in love with them all, now that it is 2024 I continue listening to these classics that will never die. Greetings from Peru.
This song, the whole Silk Degrees album, is flawlessly perfect.
And just think. waiting in the wings was Steely Dan, Earth, Wind, and Fire, The Commodores, The Eagles, FLEET WOOD MAC, and on and on and on and on andon, and on and on and on and on, almost into infinity.
Go check out Toto, they worked on this album. David Paich even wrote the songs together with Boz
Hi Donna. I'm your 100th like. This timeless classic is so smooth & strangely uplifting.
*Love look what you've Done to Me* is another that instantly takes me back to my youthful days💕🌞😻🌊❤

This should go in a time vault for any future human or alien race of beings who come to earth thousands of years from now and want to understand what kicked around in our souls in this time. An untouchable classic. A slice of buttered toast hot out of the toaster.
Yes indeed

The buttered toast reference reminded me of my first concert, Jethro Tull and Foghat opened. Wonder'ing Aloud of the Aqualung album. Read the lyrics. Very nice buttered toast. Wink wink, haha
Have been a Boz Scaggs fan for 50 years. Incredible talent and he just so cool.
@bozscaggsmusic..nice to meet you. Love that you are still performing. Your voice has only improved with age. ♥
brb gotta steal a dan
The reason his so cool, is because you a fan
Boz Scaggs sounds just as good live. He sings with no alterations, and his musicians play the music live. Pure. These were the songs of OUR youth. No cussing or degenerated fake gangster BS, just music.
Always the coolest guy in the room.
Plant's lyrics were never more poetic or pure than this.
First heard this back in 1976 when it first came out. I was leaving the airport headed to my grandparents house and this was playing on the radio in the car while riding down the highway . Such a groovy tune. It made me happy. Good memories. Miss the 70s.
this song was on the Uncle Ben rice commercial
Feel you man. Got my first taste of pussy to this song. Great times.
WHAT UP? I miss the 70s too
I was born in the mid-80s but I miss the 70s, too. I grew up watching films and listening to music from different decades, and the 60s, 70s and 80s are my favourite decades. Strange that I feel nostalgic about things I did not experience.
I always get a bittersweet feeling when someone who experienced the 70s relates their stories. I got the same feeling reading yours.
Heard Steely Dan's Ricky don't lose that number. At a festival. Too stoned to speak about it now. Love you all.
This is one of those jams that takes you back ... almost literally, to everything that was good about the 70's.!
So very true! I miss those times. Wish I had a time machine!
