I remember Lido Shuffle coming out in UK when I was in high school - bloody loved it. Now I see him playing with D Fagen (hero) so I have his whole body of work to get into.... Yay! And like the Dan - there's lots of meaningful lyrics to dig into ❤️👌😁
That this tune ain't as great as anything on Silk Degrees never ceased to amaze. Boy few artists have made tunes like Boz Scaggs ; bounces outta' off a car stereo, distracts, entertains....Boz has enjoyed so much airtime ! Wotta' artist.
I can not believe Mr. Skaggs isn’t already in Hall of Fame. There are so many great artists and musicians that should be more recognized. Many excellent guitarists this guitarist is really smooth in his style, Very obscure. ❤ Holly🎉
@@dennisgmoore Thank you Dennis I should have researched that before my comment. I was responding to another person’s comment that he should be in Hall of fame. Getting older and got brain fog 😶🌫️ lol. 🤷♀️Holly Rock on y’all 😎👍💕💕👏✨💫
Yes, he was everywhere. He also did the burnin' solo on the Tubes' "She's a Beauty" (one of my all-time faves of his) and the solo on Olivia Newton-John's "Physical." If you haven't already, check out his book, "The Gospel According to Luke." I'm reading the new book about Jeff Porcaro now. It's very interesting. 😃👍
Funny how many songs had Steve Lukather play guitar on, with no public credit. Like the lead on this. He is a guitar genius. Look up his guitar contributions...you'd be amazed. Apart from his lead role in TOTO, he has so many other contributions to bands you'd never believe. He's one of the most underrated guitar players on Earth.
Most studio musicians are happy being in the background ... tons of records were/are being recorded by people who are not on the video or go on tour with the artist
Lukather played the intro guitar rif and lead on the Tubes 1981 hit Talk to you Later! And I believe this song by Boz includes most of the Toto line up. Solid Gold !
As a long time fan of Luke, I can confidently say that although his face does not appear in this video, the closeups of hands on the fretboard during the lead guitar work are of him playing the riffs. I know his signature moves and it would be hard for an actor to emulate him.
@@barrysturgis9115 I agree. They may have used a band member or studio musician to do the guitar parts for the video, but they more than likely paid Steve to do it.
+James Avant , because the HOF is a farce and loaded w/ bullshit amateur committee idiots, meatheads(dead from the neck up). They elected Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. LMFAO. Need I say more.
+Buck Wheat geez i don't have a prob w/ Joan Jett, but whitney houston was an exaggeration. some of these artists are really not related to rock and roll. but yeah this was an artist from back when the song playing mattered more than the video.
This song is still HOT!!!!!! It is smokin'! Even if it came out 40 years ago. Boz Scaggs was the man. What a voice. He defines "blue eyed soul". Great song.
It's hard to believe that this song came out 43 years ago! I was 16 in 1980! What memories this song, "JoJo", and "You Can Have Me Anytime" bring back for me.... High School days.... 😎
1981. Oahu. Drinkin’/driving legal. H-1 northbound to North Shore. Yessir’, I had a cloth open-sunroof Renault, this tune blasting, tuggin’ on a smoke, and chuggin’ an ice-cold Coors, hauled from the right floorboard cooler. Life was getting better every day. That one single day, I had a helleuva’ ride.
no way....just too much fun! 😀...so very tough for 20 somethings to survive today. All I did was par-tay-har-tay and do yoni. Sweet. @@stormcorrosion176
Ah, man. I'm 10 yrs old again at my subdivision's swimming pool laying on a float with Boz blasting on the communal radio on top of the Coke machine. This song transports me back to those wonderful days of yesteryear.
Tennessee Ridgerunner - I was 16 when this was playing on the radio 📻, and Toto was also on top of the charts back in 1980, as well as Boz Scaggs! Great music with the best top notch artists! Nothing artificial! Totally RAW rock and roll 🎸! Smokin’ Steve “Luke” Lukather was a bad-ass rockin’ guitarist! Check out “Goodbye Eleanor” by Toto (live in the studio!) Totally mind blowing speed riffs off of Steve. 😎👍🏻
Real music!!!! With real instruments people are actually playing, and backup singers. Wow, we just might be on to something here! RIP Mike Porcaro and Carlos Vega
Boz is the King of Cool! This song kicks tail as does Lido Shuffle and Lowdown! Of course any tune with Jeff Pocoro playing drums is going to be great as well! Boz is the man!
Boz is not just like a listening experience. The music becomes you. The music has another dimension to it. A lot of credit must also go to his talented producers.
Mike Landau was in Boz's touring band, but Lukather played on this track on the album. This sounds like the studio version of the song, not live nor a re-record.

@Sterling Archer Thank you for the correction, Sterling. I pulled the original list of musicians from elsewhere, as I only recognized a couple of them. Watching it again, I still can't recognize Mike, though I believe you are correct. The video is a bit grainy. I'd say his body movements are similar to seeing him in Toto, but that might also be my imagination. 🙂 Thanks again!
Bozscaggs golden era with the Young TOTO boys Steve.n Jeff porcaro RIP. AND D. HUNGATE ON BASS WAS AWESOME BACK THEN. WONDER IF STEVE LUKATHER WAS THERE COZ HE PLAYED ON THE ALBUM.. AWESOME TIME
In the video, there were no contemporaneous members of TOTO. Hungate and Lukather played on the studio track which was used in this video. Mike Porcaro joined TOTO in 1983.
One of my favorite songs from my youth. Whenever I hear it I'm in our 1966 Plymouth Fury III station wagon with my brother driving down 10th Ave, window open in the Summer heat. Saw him in concert 17 years later on the Seattle waterfront. Great times.
Luke toured with Boz and the members of TOTO in 1977, played guitar on Breakdown Ahead and then all of Middle Man album. TOTO released their debut album in 1977 and Boz got TOTO-adjacent players such as Mike Landau and Mike Porcaro for his touring band. Porcaro replaced Hungate on bass after TOTO IV was released.

Steve Miller and Boz went to St Marks high school in Dallas which had a very progressive music program that was supported by a lot of big Dallas oil money!!!
On the album, David Hungate plays bass on this song, but that's his replacement in Toto, Mike Porcaro playing bass in the video. Lenny Castro, who's played percussion for Toto for 40 years, is on congas in the video.
Now this is music! No synthesizers, no electronic gizmos, no auto-tune. Just a bunch of extremely talented people playing real musical instruments and singing in proper pitch. We did have better music back then.
A very Happy 77th Birthday William Royce "Boz" Scaggs June 8, 1944. Your songs were inspirational for us when we were young. And now, more than ever. Being that we're older and wiser. Thanks William.
Nothing like this today! Not only does it bring me back in time but it's just better music. I always sing along with the back up singers :) Needed to feel good today. This just did it!
Saw him in lake Charles, La. In March 2020....great show, bought tickets to see him again in Biloxi, Mississippi in August 2020, show has been on hold since then, over a year...😨😨😨
Don't mind me, just consoling myself about the missed opportunity May 13, 2020 at L.A.'s Orpheum, to see this great man. It DID take a world pandemic 'tho to make me miss him, gonna say that.
As a Former member of the Steve Miller Band. Mr Scaggs definitely deserve Consideration for the ROCK and ROLL HALL of FAME CANDIDATE for SURE 2024.

It's almost criminal how this song isn't played more on classic rock stations.
Exactly my thought too!
That this tune ain't as great as anything on Silk Degrees never ceased to amaze. Boy few artists have made tunes like Boz Scaggs ; bounces outta' off a car stereo, distracts, entertains....Boz has enjoyed so much airtime ! Wotta' artist.
Yep I haven't heard it on a classic rock station in at least 20 years
I totally agree. This is the best Boz!
I used to hear it more on oldies stations than rock stations.
I can not believe Mr. Skaggs isn’t already in Hall of Fame. There are so many great artists and musicians that should be more recognized. Many excellent guitarists this guitarist is really smooth in his style, Very obscure. ❤ Holly🎉
Boz Scaggs was inducted in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.

@@hollyportlyYou sound like me ,lol I was happy to hear that he has been awarded this great achievement to . Greetings from OZ 🦘😁😁
Steve lukather
How is this guy not better known, appreciated, celebrated and awarded? He is just the epitome of cool.
I was wondering the same.
Still is!
Amen! Always been one of the greats. No one today comes close.
The song is 42 years old. It was a big deal back then!
He is still amazing getting ready to go out on tour!!!
Yeah. Boz is one of the greatest soul singers of the 6,7,8 and 90s. People just don't realise. Go Boz!
I didn't realize that Steve Luthaker played the solo on this track too. He was EVERYWHERE! Awesome song
Yes, he was everywhere. He also did the burnin' solo on the Tubes' "She's a Beauty" (one of my all-time faves of his) and the solo on Olivia Newton-John's "Physical." If you haven't already, check out his book, "The Gospel According to Luke." I'm reading the new book about Jeff Porcaro now. It's very interesting. 😃👍
Told a younger friend of mine today that had never heard of Boz, "you need some Boz in your life".

Happy Birthday, sir!
80 yrs old today and still as relevant as ever. I am lucky to be alive in your lifetime. Thank you for the music.

Boz Scaggs is unsung and one of the greats back in the day.
He's Fantastic!! Love his music. He's really young in this video!! Boz needs to be in R&R hall of fame!
Wonder why Scaggs isn't in the hall of fame?

Boz Scaggs - coolest badass in music...and without even trying.
I totally love this 😀 this song. Unbelievable talent! 😂😅
His background singers are the bomb!
View the JoJo video promo for more of them. Heavenly
The main riff and the chord structures are so Lukather. Talk about an unsung hero!
Saw TOTO with Journey in Las Vegas 10 ten days ago. What a great concert!
William Royce Scaggs! One of the best!
Great singer love his music 💞💞💞💞🇺🇸
Top Notch! BOZ is one of those RARE GIFTS to HUMANITY from the DIVINE!
Fantastic and awesome guitarfills and guitarsolo by Steve Lukather... 👏🏼✌🏼💙
Great singer love his music ❤❤❤❤❤

YES THIS IS WHEN MUSIC WAS REALLY MUSIC PERIOD!!!!!
I just love this song! No one can sing this song like he does. Frigging amazing talent 😂😅
BOZ JUST SEEMED TO GET BETTER LOOKING AS HE AGED
1981. Oahu. Drinkin’/driving legal. H-1 northbound to North Shore.

That one single day, I had a helleuva’ ride.
Ok boomer calm down

Been there done it but in Savannah GA 😂

Ah, man. I'm 10 yrs old again at my subdivision's swimming pool laying on a float with Boz blasting on the communal radio on top of the Coke machine. This song transports me back to those wonderful days of yesteryear.
Tennessee Ridgerunner me too! I’m the same age as you.
Tennessee Ridgerunner PURE BLISS MOMENTS
Gulf Park Pool Knoxville, TN !!!
Tennessee Ridgerunner - I was 16 when this was playing on the radio 📻, and Toto was also on top of the charts back in 1980, as well as Boz Scaggs! Great music with the best top notch artists! Nothing artificial! Totally RAW rock and roll 🎸!
Smokin’ Steve “Luke” Lukather was a bad-ass rockin’ guitarist!
Check out “Goodbye Eleanor” by Toto (live in the studio!) Totally mind blowing speed riffs off of Steve. 😎👍🏻
Perfect picture. And it could have been anywhere in America, circa 1979.
私の青春時代のスゲー良い曲！！
What is so awesome is the backup singers and the musicians. Nothing like that today.
Most of the band Toto played on this song
Carlos Vega on drums here, very cool. And Michael Landau on guitar here too. That would have been a great concert!
Mike Porcaro on bass here too
Thomas Rice It’s perfectly set up. Music it’s nothing like it.
SO WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE?
Real music!!!! With real instruments people are actually playing, and backup singers. Wow, we just might be on to something here! RIP Mike Porcaro and Carlos Vega
Boz Scaggs so hot he's cool
Gone too soon.
I had several black friends back in the day who did NOT know Boz was white. He’s like an honorary brother.
Back in the music didn’t have color, or was about color, it was about our lives.
Well here is a sister who knew and still loves him!
@@adc2327 Great music is bottled in a whole lotta flavors! Why not enjoy it all?
I had the same experience with Janis Joplin
Good music knows no color. This is just one example. Mothers Finest is another.
❤❤❤BACKED ON RECORD BY THE INCOMPARABLE TOTO
Boz is the King of Cool! This song kicks tail as does Lido Shuffle and Lowdown! Of course any tune with Jeff Pocoro playing drums is going to be great as well! Boz is the man!
When this song came out Jeff Porcaro was no longer with Boz, he was with TOTO
@@javierfredo7327 Porcaro did all kinds of session work for various artists, even when he was with Toto.
He skipped this album as far as credits goes.
Toto’s Steve Lukather is on the the soulful guitar solos.
This tune has Carlos Vega on drums. Equal to Jeff. Both super groovy,but being a drummer I have to say Carlos digs a bit deeper.
One my favorite songs .first time I seen BOZ MAN forty-five years ago. Last time was like five ago. Humble and talented.
Boz is not just like a listening experience. The music becomes you. The music has another dimension to it. A lot of credit must also go to his talented producers.
HIS PRODUCERS DON'T SING HIS MUSIC.
The future members of TOTO were basically his backing band at the height of popularity and his collaborators were David Paich and David Foster.
Steve Lukather really gave this song an aggressive rock feel!
Isn’t that Jay Graydon?
@@humanbeing2420 - in this video, it's Michael Landau (fellow studio guitarist of Steve Lukather).
Mike Landau was in Boz's touring band, but Lukather played on this track on the album. This sounds like the studio version of the song, not live nor a re-record.

Hey Boz !! That skinny kid ripping up the Stratocaster gotta be Steve Lukather ??👍👍 Killer tune !! 😎
I love it. Still as good as in 1980.
I loved Boz I. the late 70’s early 80’s. 62 now and it brings back so many memories.
Loved Boz since the late 70s, still listening in February 2020 💕
Been following Boz from the 70's also, have seen him every year since, a true Boz fan right here. Lucky to have met the gentleman...sigh :)

This is such a a very cool song!!! ❤❤

The atety was soo bad they have to keep Swiping all the songs from the super sevevnties
bad,they had to keep swiping music from the Super seventies!😅
A hard rockin' tune from Boz!

Soul has no color more of a vibe or a wavelength. Soul is soul.
@@lanajeanvecchione9659 Well said !
Darn I missed him!! He was in Chicago a few weeks ago. I found out after the fact!
What a great song! The Boz had several of them. I didn't know Luke was backup guitar until years ago. Wish we could turn back the years.

A very versatile artist.Awesome.
THE BEST EVER!
Boz knows the score -- there's a breakdown dead ahead....
Guys and Gals as I am 51 this was fucking music! This shit out here nowadays omg
Boz still rocks 37 years later.

Anyone here in November 2024 listening to this "Great" Rocker.
December 2024 ❤ the Boz man
Such an under-rated Talent. Thanks Boz for your time! 💖
Unrated talent... World wide known....
Amen to that . Great gift shared-Thank You !
Boz always has the best back up singers.
Takes me back to my early 80s high days. Wow how time Flys
I wish there was a longplay version, can't get enough of this, so I guess I'll just have to keep playing it over and over and over and
70s and 80s were the decades of musical Giants...don't get no better!
60s too
Don't mind me, just consoling myself about the missed opportunity May 13, 2020 at L.A.'s Orpheum, to see this great man. It DID take a world pandemic 'tho to make me miss him, gonna say that.
Remembering history, what a great song
This song is a masterpiece from a classic singer/songwriter.
Boz's most hard rocking tune. Love it!
Just an awesome tune. I call you. You ain't in
Happy 70th Birthday Boz, you have given the world the gift of some wonderful music and I thank you for it.
I remember when my HS friends told me not to like his music :p Have NEVER stopped being a fan :)
