[@joevanseeters2873]

William Royce Scaggs still has it. 77 years old in 2021, this man has retained his vocal and musical talents through his entire career. Boz is one "cool cat".

[@randyreynolds3245]

Google cool as f___,up pops Boz

[@robertfish4052]

Cooler than Elton. And preserved his voice wonderfully. I gotta go, Lido is a calling.

[@tselliot9762]

Still killing it. I wish I would've seen him 8 to 10 times by now. KZbin is as close as I'll get. I'm grateful.

[@roberthorn333]

He's a must see if he comes to play near you.

[@maxvaldez6987]

Saw Steve Miller, Boz and Dickie Betts all on the same stage together jamming out back in 74.

[@darlenemchugh9828]

That unique voice has not changed a bit! Love this guy!

[@donbrashsux]

Amazing voice has held up 100%

[@debraingram6915]

Smooth and silk!!!!!!

[@DeborahGuthrie-ww4qf]

My dad played this often. When I hear it I think of him and smile. He is 93 and still with me. I absolutely love this song.☺

I grew up listening to Boz and always enjoyed it. As an adult I truly appreciate his beautiful voice. He is a legend.

Never got the recognition that his music earned. He would pop up for a flash, then disappear commercially, but the quality of his music just rolled on, and on.

[@mindrolling24]

71 years old and still out-cools most. Not many can hit those higher notes. Bloody awesome.

Boz Skaggs will be singing this song forever. And everybody on earth will still be loving this song for eternity!

[@steverosenberg9994]

41 years have passed since the release of this hit, and by listening to the performance, not much, if anything, has diminished, more so it's further refined his magnificent voice and delivery...pretty amazing if you were to ask me.

[@paulredding5864]

Totally, first heard it in my local cool pizza place in 76 and has been in my top 5 ever since. The album is just superb too

[@FL8mileshigh1]

This song passes the time test with flying colors. It could be played 100 years from now and still sound fresh. Great live performance.

[@roviwoteap2375]

Still listening in 2021. Classic!

Thumbs up to that brother, its all good.

[@davidwright9550]

Without a doubt in ‘23!

[@tselliot9762]

Love the horns and backing vocals. The whole vibe is 10/10.

[@buicklincoln]

Lowdown stands the test of time because of Boz's amazing vocals and the many hooks in the song. The drum beat in the beginning, the bass pluck at the beginnning, flutes and the "I wonder wonder wonder whooooooooo...."

[@Spartanm333]

The drums on this song are down to Jeff Porcaro who co-wrote it he of Toto and Steeley Dan - amazing session drummer who almost recruited Michael McDonald into Toto. Mike appeared on I'll Be Over You as a member of the band.

[@jimwilhelm943]

Woooow, I closed my eyes and listened and it took me back forty years, Boz you’re the man, hasn’t changed amazing!

[@iancatchpole5223]

Boz is the coolest dude in music terms, on the planet...Total Respect Mr. Scaggs.

Just saw Boz in St. Louis Mo.78 years old.. still has that beautiful voice amazing concert💜💜💜

[@christinawood3996]

He sounds amazing!! His voice is like fine wine...better with age.

[@mauriceclemens3286]

Brings me right back to the late 70’s when Boz was releasing hit records one after another. I’ve been a fan ever since. Watch the DVD the Dukes of September. Boz, Michael Macdonald,and Donald Fagen. Fantastic concert!

[@robertfish4052]

I'm gonna be 71 some day. What a smooth tune. I never got over the lido shuffle. What can I say was serenading from my car. BRING BACK THE 70'S.

One of the few and rare musical artists that sound even better in person. Amazing!

His voice sound just like his recording. One of my favorite songs EVER!!!

[@tammymiller5981]

One of the best singers and song writers ever... it's a shame we don't have more like him......

I know he has done this song and so many others hundreds of times. But we never get tired of hearing them just the same.

[@ZumaDogg]

REALLY hard vocals to sing. This guy is a human phenomenon at 71. SOUNDS 70's-tastic!

[@campyoldie]

+Zuma Dogg What a great and intelligent comment; no-one ever seems to consider that sort of thing. But the hardest job is that of the drummer, trying to emulate the brilliant Jeff Porcaro (RIP).Didn't see this as I can't stand Jules Holland; always sounds about as sincere as Ulrika Jonsson saying 'Ouch' on her wedding night.

[@captpogossian]

+Zuma Dogg There's an interesting interview with him somewhere on YT where he talks about his singing. Says his voice on the early recordings embarrasses him. Still sounds good to me though. He comes over as a modest and engaging human being. Long may he endure!

[@ZumaDogg]

Pan oRoya LOL! Yeah, I can understand that. He kinda sounds like Kermit The Frog. (Thin line.)

[@djroxanne4429]

+Zuma Dogg he does not!! meanie.

The one and only Boz Scaggs, still brilliant after all these years.

Along with " A Night At the Opera", "Silk Degrees" is one of the finest pieces of musical art mankind will ever witness. I shed a tear sometimes when I hear what music has become. I bought this vinyl in 1976 and I still own and play the same copy.

One of my favorite compositions because it's so cryptic it can mean anything you want it to mean. Like, what's the lowdown on life? You can make it a dirty job you hate or turn it into easy money or people you love.
