Yes, the movie was actually called "Looking for Mr. Goodbar". That was an autocorrect done by my phone 🙃
I saw it at the movie theater back when it came out. Haven't seen it since, but remember I really liked it. I'm going have to rewatch it sometime soon.
@@donnakubiski5572 I saw it too, Diane Keaton and Richard Gere, great movie!
Looking for Mr Goodbar was a good movie with Richard Gere and Diane Keaton.
I despise auto correct!
Go watch one of his bands small venue ...here on YT or live.. 🤗🎵🎶🎵💯💕
We had no idea as kids in the 70’s we were listening to absolute fire . It was just playing in the background and we just went about our day. Now I look back and appreciate it more.
So true! I took for granted how great music was when I was growing up.
Exactly!!!!
Yes, we did, i Always knew we had the best music ever
Yep, I was born in 67 so I kind of took 70s music for granted. It is so much better the the crap people listen to today.
Facts
I’m 60 and I am taking so much delight in watching virgins ears get a rush….from the first time listening to the classics I grew up on!❤
I’m 54, and even though I watched my kids fall in love with all this stuff, I get a big kick outta watching these young people hear real music!
It's not just the virgin ears but they're listening together - a thing that really skipped a generation.
72 and watch a ton o these younguns gettin a taste of what we grew up on. Oh we had it so good,
I know, right! They’re finding Karen Carpenter, Queen and now Boz… I mean all of them not just this trio…
Oh guys there’s something wrong with the audio mix. I can’t hear you guys. I had to go to my iPad.
“Barry White meets Steely Dan” is the underrated comment of all time. 😂
Yes, it sums it up completely!
These dudes all played on Steely Dan albums.
The 70’s When singers actually Sang and players actually Played!! Greatest decade of music ever🤘🤘🤘
No auto tune and songs were done and redone until a few takes. Great job 👍
Most self taught too! The 70’s has my heart and soul
Monster grove from back in the day, lol look at their heads just bobbin, just like we used to do.
ABSOLUTELY !
Now to be fair…..
The 60’s. 70’s. 80’s and a little, very little bit of the 90’s had some GREAT SONGS !
BUT THE 70’s…..
NOTHIN’ LIKE IT !
Agreed 100%! All the other decades had a few bangers but the seventies was full of them.
"Lowdown" is a masterpiece of musicianship.
"Barry White meets Steely Dan" is the best description of this song that I have ever heard.
SPOT ON !
Barry & Steely Dan !
I would say Curtis Mayfield before Barry White.
Hands down, one of the best songs ever made.
Indeed
The first breakthrough on a *Black Award* .You know this song has something going. 🎵🎶🎵
Boz Scaggs was so class that he showed up to personally deliver the first big royalty check of this album in person to the drummer (Jeff Porcaro). Homie drove to his house and hand-delivered their check out of gratitude. Boz is a good a person as he is a musician.
This is awesome and I can see it. If you watch "Boz Scaggs - Lowdown - Iroquois Ampitheater- Aug 11 2022" on here, he takes a good few minutes to personally reintroduce every person on stage by full name and the city their from, while looking right at each one individually. It's truly just great to see.
The hypnotic mastery of Jeff Porcaro on drums. RIP
That shuffley groove. He outdid Bernard Purdie here!
This groove is what happens when the bass guitar and the drummer are on the same page
@@FUBAR1986 Hell, they were on the same entire book! lol
And add paich wow
Jeff Pacaro ain't the only member of Toto on this cut, David Hungate was killing it on bass.
Lido Shuffle - and this was a joy watching you guys experience Boz for the first time
Yes, Lido!
My favorite of Boz’s.
I don’t know, the radio overplay was nauseating. I still can’t. I put Lido in with Seasons in the Sun and Sir Duke. Criminal pablum.
@@annewoodard6803 🤣🤣
@@annewoodard6803 …and yet, all three are 10x better than 90% of what’s topping the charts today.
Picture it. Warren, Ohio,1976. My sister just graduated from high school. Dad bought her a 1963 Ford Galaxie. She would load up the car with us younger kids and our friends and go out to the lake. This song plays on the AM radio. Until I met my wife many years later, it was probably the happiest moment of my life. This is my favorite song of all time. When my time comes to an end, I can guarantee that this song will be played at my funeral. Very loud.
As a 62-year-old, it's entertaining and heartwarming to watch these "kids" listen to this much-loved R&B masterpiece. Lowdown defined a time and that year in music (1976). One of the best from the '70s.
Im 62 also ,this number and silk degrees was such a hit in Holland in 76 ,i heard it and i let everything falling out of my hands ,i had to go to the record Shop immediately ,no time wasted !!
Right! I’m here too! ✋
I'm seeing a lot of head-bobbing amongst the reviewers here...
I knew that you'd be hooked the minute the bass dropped.
That bass!
Astounding!
Absolutely!
@@andrewpetik2034 David Hungate. Masterful. In sync-lock with Porcaro's drums.
Definitely! 👏💯👏
This entire album "Silk Degrees", is a front-to-back classic. Great on a straight-through listen.
Boz Skaggs has so many awesome songs...I have loved him since the beginning...I am 66 and love his voice and a good horn section anytime!! He is one of my all time favs!!
Released 45yrs ago and STILL is a winner!! ⭐️💯
I'm always jealous of younger dudes like this when they discover amazing music like this from my youth. Love the reactions!!
Jojo, Georgia, Harbour Lights, It’s Over, What Can I Say, and Breakdown Dead Ahead. And many more. The guy is so underrated these days. The whole Silk Degrees album is perfect.
Harbour Lights is one of my favorites. Saw him in concert and he sounds just as good live.
Lido.
I concur and like Robyn mentioned, don’t forget “Lido” 🤘😎✌️
What’s that tune that’s in Urban Cowboy? I was dating age when that came out. Really great memories 😎
Yes Harbor Light's live
Kudos to Ryan for chair dancing.
You guys are cracking me up!!! I was 8 years old when this was released in 1976. I can still see my mother dancing to it back in the day when she was in her late 20's. This song was ever present. It is a masterpiece. I always thought this was a "black" group until I became an adult. Goes to show it doesn't matter how much melanin you have, soul is soul and the groove is the groove. Great reaction!
Same!!!
First white guy to win the Grammy for R&B!
Classic music never gets old him and the drummer so glad I grew up in that era
Boz and Jeff are musical soul mates.
Awesomeness
I am 60 damn years old and I can't tell you how happy y'all are making me listening to my shit
You guys crack me up -- seeing y' all enjoying music from our generation. 🙂
I’m back for like the 100th time. You guys reacting to Boz is my ‘go-to-feel-good’ song.
hey all, I'm 68 and a child of the 70's... nothing like Boz Scaggs, Daryl Hall, Jackson Brown, Chicago, Crosby Still Nash and Young and so much. I am privilege to have been part of a great time...continue listening to Boz Scaggs and you'll see that classic sound of the 70's...
I love your reaction, all three of you. This is a great song. We used to have the best music when growing up! I'm 65, I'm just saying!
"Barry White meets Steely Dan"
I love that comparison! Easily one of the top songs of the time. I watch a lot of different reaction channels and enjoy all of them but in all honesty your videos are the ones I look forward to the most! You've said that y'all work many hours at your jobs but please, please make videos more often. Few things give me joy since 2020, sadly. Watching your videos gives me such joy and keeps a genuine smile on my face the entire time! Thank you for that. Perfect song. Perfect reactions. Much love Gentlemen❤️
Might be the most accurate description of ANYTHING….EVER.
@@valdane8371 More than ever I think Lowdown may be the greatest single (recording) of the rock era...or damn close I knew it was special back in 1976. Dat groove. The transitions in and out of the middle eight. Unbelievable. Songwriting, production, arrangements, musicianship. Vocal delivery. backup singers. It's got it all. The world is on fiyah!
Oh did he say Steely Dan. I guess that makes more sense. I thought he said Stewie from Family Guy. 😂🤣🤣🤣. Barry White meets Stewie? What does that even mean?
@@carmensandiego7749 I don't know...but now I desperately want to hear it!
☺️
So turns out I’m not just an old geezer when I say most of todays music isn’t even from the same planet as the quality and talent displayed in this song.
I love Boz's voice, it's so unique, no one sounds like him.
Kermit the frog does!
This has been my favorite song since I was 18 and I’m 65 and it still is
You three should see Boz perform with Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen in a group called Dukes of Sept. He performs Lowdown and gets a standing ovation. It is phenomenal. Well worth your time. You can thank me later! Love you guys!
I second this. Should definitely check out the Dukes of September, specifically "Miss Sun" where Boz displays his guitar skills
@@1KING7AW Miss Sun is en fuego!
YES!
They were TREMENDOUS together, especially on Pretzel Logic. Great comment.
I agree! Dukes of September is the best version of Low Down that there is. Donald Fagen brings that Steely Dan vibe and you can also hear MIchael McDonal's influence on the keys. A must watch!
This song was fire when it first came out and the flame 🔥 has not been extinguished.And It never will! Great Reaction 👍🏼
Heck yeah!
Boz Scaggs was the first White male to win a Grammy for Number One R&B Song Of The Year in 1976 for his song Lowdown.
Boz was smooth, man. The 70's! Everything on this record is real- drums, strings, bass, vocals. That groove comes from real musicians.
My mom (God rest her) was a huge Boz Scaggs fan. Thanks for giving me another opportunity to remember her.
Your mom had great taste in music!
What an album this is.
Played to death by me back in the late 70’s.
Yes, I wore it out as well!
GoJo, I know! LP, cassette tape and cd. Now digital download. I guess I sure ga DC e him support! Also live in 1976, Fort Worth!
@@lynnestamey7272 my other half has no real interest in music 😡
If I knew then,what i know now………
Silk Degree is my All Time Favorite ❤️
Can you imagine living in a time when this song came out in the same year as The Year Of The Cat ??????
Yes, we lived it!
And Boston, 2112, Agents of Fortune, Frampton Comes Alive, Ramones, Hotel California…
Yes!
Yes, we did!
Can’t believe these guys have never heard of Boz Scaggs. Truly a classic song, never go out of style.
We called this "$5,000 apartment music" back then. And this is the most fun I've seen all three of you have during a reaction!
That’s awesome!
You are so right
Great term for it
If you want another jazz/funk/r&b fusion George Benson's 'Give me the Night' is great. And in the original video George is singing playing the guitar and skating all in one, with a broad grin on his face.
Yes love that song also
Straight up classic.
George Benson is amazing on give me the night ! Guitar !!!
Guys, I can't tell you how it warms my heart to see you digging this record we made almost 50 (?@?-WTF?) years ago. I commend you on your great taste!😅❤
The Barry White meets Steely Dan analogy was perfect. I've loved this song for years.
Oh, I'm so GLAD to see someone who hasn't heard this song!!!! It IS fire!!!
Boz Scaggs is a vibe! Check out "Look What You've Done To Me." Great song. And gotta say, your reactions are so much fun, love to watch!
Yes!
You guys are absolutely right when you say "they don't make music like they used to." This song is definitely proof of that!
Gentlemen - Great Reaction. For the rest of my days, whenever I hear Lowdown, I will remember "Barry White meets Steely Dan"!! Awesome work. It's weird. Back in the day, Billboard Magazine would publish it's top 100 songs by sales. Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Supertramp, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Moody Blues, Elton John, Billy Joel and all the other 70's bands were competing against each other. It was a great time to be alive.
Thank you for recognizing the great music of the past.
Ken
Boz is still out there, doing his thing for the people. He’s great.
Enjoyed your reaction, Guys. I'm 73 at this point. So you can extrapolate my music era. A golden period which will never be duplicated. Silk Degrees is one of the greatest standards album wise of my youth. I will never tire of it. But listening to it now results in a reality jolt when comparing such peak quality with todays insulting music excuse landscape. Keep up the great work.
You ain't never lied! I'm 65 and you said it exactly...our GOLDEN AGE of music can never be duplicated! I just wish they would also pay attention to the words like we did!
Agreed. Aja by Steely Dan, Songs in the Key of Life by Stevie Wonder, I Am by Earth Wind and Fire along with Off the Wall by Michael Jackson fit right in there too
Yes, I concur, it's so fun listening to the music of my, (our) youth and watch young people enjoy it!
@@lorrainejohnson5461 You are so right...I am 66 from the San Francisco Bay area...can not tell you how many concerts I went to back in the day! My generation was blessed with all the music and musicians that came from my era...JUST WOW!
I'm 73 and remember being at a friends house for dinner and we listened to this album over and over. It was in the mountains of California. It was a great time with friends
I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I've watched this one a ridiculous number of times. Great, great song and your reactions are fun to watch more than once!
Same 😂
Welcome to the club
I have as well. It doesn't get old watching these young people enjoy 46 year old music!
It was1979, the summer before my Senior year in high school in Arizona, and I was cruising my parent's 1968 Chevy Impala 2 door coupe with a 327 V8, windows rolled down, my girl right next to me on the bench seat, and Boz Skaggs' "Lowdown" was blasting on the cassette tape player as we drove up and down main street on a Friday night!
You guys are so lucky. If I could hear all of these great songs for the first time again, I don't know what I'd do with myself.
That's straight truth!
You read my mind.....
If I had a list of the Best Singles of the Rock era, Lowdown is #1 for me. Better than the Beatles, Elvis, Stones, The Who, Elton John. Everything came together: songwriting, production, musicianship, vocal performances, groove, engineering. It's absolute PERFECTION.
Right? :D
I attended Boz Scagg’s outdoor summer concert last year and he was AMAZING! His voice is still rich and strong. The crowd loved him. He kept returning for encore’s because we didn’t want him to leave. 😊❤
Born in 1967. Grounded to my bedroom a lot, and all I had was my clock radio. Very blessed indeed.
Slept with my little transistor radio. Listened to Casey Kasem on it for years.
we kids from the 70's were exposed to this kind of music! is hard to explain we didn't have brain damage or something.......haha it just made better musicians of us ....I still love the music I grew up with and I am glad I had this music growing up.....
I just love it when all you three are groovin' in sync!!!!! The whole album is just as good as this one.
Your next dive into the Boz HAS to be JoJo...another banger!! The entire Silk Degrees album is hit after hit! Thanks for letting us old heads turn you on to the BEST of the Best!
I wore out silk degrees at least three times on vinyl.
We’re All Alone off the same album.
For sure, "Jojo " is an absolute must!
The guy in the middles laugh is infectious. You guys have great chemistry
I never get tired of this song its so friggin good. Great reaction guys!
Yes!2😅
💯🎯✅
You guys are killing me :) I’m genuinely laughing out loud by myself here. And you’re not wrong at all, this song is so damn smooth and they’re making it sound so easy. Love it, real good stuff guys.
Same! I love watching the young folk reacting to the classics!
It is Barry White meets Steely Dan.
Me too! Their reaction is priceless!!
I was in high school when this dropped. We DANCED to it. Group moves, like the Hustle. It was hypnotic to move to. ❤💯
The birth of Toto. They were the studio band and formed Toto shortly after Silk Degree's. Hungate, Paige and Porcaro. Louie Shelton on guitar.
These are the best reactions when you have never heard the tune before! There is lots of unexplored music from the 70's!
If they gave out awards for best reaction video, I would nominate this one !!😁😆😅🤣😂P.S. " The Dirty Lowdown " the perfect phrase to build a song around !!
I agree that this is one of their best reactions. Also their reaction to Green Earrings by Steely Dan is up there too. I love their channel!!!
I was born in the 60s, and you would not believe the incredible music and talent my generation grew up with.
yes im so jealous when my generation makes crap
Box Scaggs is the TRUTH! Do not play with him!!❤
The amazing righteous groove Jeff Porcaro and David Hungate laid down. You can't keep up with these Joneses! Porcaro, Hungate and David Paich who played keyboards and co-wrote Lowdown formed Toto.
SMOOOOOOOOOOOOTH!
One of my favorite songs of all time
Always happy to hear h younger generations listening to real
Music!
OK...first "It's like Barry White met Steeley Dan". I've heard this song since I was a kid and never been able to put it so well. Next...the general suspension of disbelief...the guys couldn't quite grasp how amazing this is on the first play. On the restart...now it's something you know is coming. Love it!!! Best reaction on YT!
Thank you. Boz rocks. Lido Shuffle by Boz is fantabulous.
I heard this in College in 77 and knew this was going to be a generational hit...too this day it's just as fresh as the day I heard it.
It's full of that 70's Groove, bass, great background singers, and a Flute involved. Boz never disappoints.
Stank faces!! First 30 seconds..lol. Great song and reaction. Thanks guys ❤
Not a keyboard but a flute. A classic of classics! 😎👍🏽
"It's like Barry White meets Steely Dan." A more apt description for this track has never and will never be said. BRILLIANT!!
Haunting and dazzling musical jewel from the incomparable 1970s, with perfect drumming.
Georgia, it's over, Lido Shuffle, look what you've done to me, and We're all alone.
Several outstanding hits by Boz
Lido shuffle!
Georgia, "Georgia, your daddy was high the night he dreamed up you, Georgia the stars were flying the night that you came through". What great lyrics!!!
THIS WHOLE ALBUM IS INCREDIBLE! NOT A DOG IN THE BUNCH...
This was THE party record. Black parties, white parties, young folks, older folks, EVERYBODY loved this record. It was played on all the radio stations, and every now and then you'd have the "WTF? Boz Scaggs is WHITE??!!" conversation with someone. Good times.
It’s good to see you guys enjoying an oldie like Boz Skaggs.
Isn't this just perfection in production, artistry, and talent???!!! It doesn't get any better than this!
Barry White/Steely Dan... THAT'S really good!
You know this is what the cats are jammin' to outside the mini-mart.
😂😂😂
I was 21 when this album was released. Between Boz and Steely Dan, you start feeling like you’re never going to reach that level of cool. 😎
Ryan: If his voice is great, I'm going crazy.
Me: _waits knowingly_ 😂
Great song, great reaction! ✌
I was thinking “you just do not KNOW!” When he said that LOL
'Barry White meets Steely Dan' had me Lol! And actually, not a bad analogy. This was everywhere when it came out in '76. Had a cool history teacher in HS. 'Jerry'. Ex-marine that was probably all of 5'4" (same as me at the time). He always wore jeans & jean shirts and he would have each class embroider his shirts with fun things. Like each classes nickname he gave or popular sayings. First teacher I ever had with a beard and long hair. Lol! On weekends, he would invite students to his house for a bbq (and to wash his car. Lol!). He got this album and played it over and over at those bbq's. And funny enough, a lot of Steely Dan. Lol! Great time to be a teenager. 😎👍
This song is a classic,loved it in the 70s and still love it today,
Seriously… when you guys feel the song the way you all move in synch…. It’s something to behold!❤❤❤
When I was in Law School in 1980 I recorded this song back to back for an entire 45 minute cassette as my study music. This is #1 on my lifetime playlist. I really enjoyed watching the three of you discover this song together for the first time. I have become a fan of your reactions and really enjoy the chemistry the three of you have. You are each charismatic in your own way and easy to spend an hour with. All the best. Let me recommend "So Very Hard to Go" by Tower of Power, JoJo by Bob Scaggs and "What Does it Take to Win Your Love" by Jr. Walker and the AllStars.
Aghhhh. The best of the best. . Absolutely great choices!
Lido Shuffle!!
The whole "Silk Degrees" album is great. Remember when it came out in 1976. It has a bluesy sound to it. Two of the most famous songs from that album are "Lowdown" & "Lido Shuffle". Some other songs are "It's Over", "What Can I Say", "We're All Alone", "Harbor Lights" & "Jump Street".
I wore this out on vinyl about 3 times!
Harbor Lights is a real hidden gem on that one.
"Love Me Tomorrow", is another great song on this Album!
They need to have a way to like a video multiple times, lol. I can't stop watching this video, it brings me so much joy. Thank you for your love and enthusiasm for music! ❤️
Wow, I used to get sick of this song on the radio all the time in the 70's. Love it again, tnanks!
Again, one of my requests!!! You’re welcome😉
I been listening to this song 35 years and keep it in heavy rotation to this day. It’s a timeless banger.
Lets just call this reaction “three skunk faces”…. One of my all time favorite songs . The grooves and lyrics are just timeless…🤘🏼😎
Ever since I was a child I consumed music as voraciously as books. Followed with graphic arts. I was *blessed* with parents that owned a collection of 150-200 lps of 60-70s rock and pop which I listened in their entirety by the time I was 9 or 10. They had this album because OF COURSE they did lol 6 or 7 times platinum is incredible. It's hilarious and heart warming watching young adults experience this music.
PS : Steely Dan FOREVER ❤ Saw them in San Diego in 2001! It was INCREDIBLE. I never imagined that I would see them live when I was 20! The concert was incredible.
Lido Shuffle, Jo Jo, … so many from the Boz.
The GREATEST DECADE IN MUSIC IS =THE 70's! 👍👍 I'm so glad to see young people discovering this music which I and other baby boomers enjoyed as kids-teens-young adults. Boz is a classic example of the quality and excellence of how music did and should sound like. Steely Dan, whom you have covered, is another like kind band. The range of music that bands of the late 60's and thru the 70's was masterful.
Greatest DECADE!
It is pure joy watching you guys react to this song. I'm a 50+ guy that has just rediscovered this song. Definitely in my current playlist.
Boz Scaggs….. white R&B man.
One of the albums of my youth.
Boz and Michael Macdonell. The best.
