[@joelyoung8291]

I am a 59 year old African American man. This song came out in 1976 when I was 13. My siblings took awhile to warm up to it. But being a musician and going on to be a future DJ I just knew this song was a monster in its own unique way. I was right. This song won R&B song of the year in 1976 I believe at the American Music Awards. Considering the outstanding songs that were out at that time during that Disco Heavy year that itself says what an accomplishment that was.

[@skiddburns8664]

I was twelve and I remember that everytime I have heard that song I can't get the melody out of my head - 🎶.

[@sunnyseacat9232]

Boz Scaggs - understated, not a show-off, effortlessly sings and plays. Coolest first name in music.

[@Jessica_Roth]

William "Boz" Scaggs started out as the second guitarist and backing vocalist in the Steve Miller Band, but he left after "Sailor", their second album. (You can hear him on Steve's first hit "Living in the USA" and he had a few songs of his own on those albums, too.) He's done fine on his own, though. EVERYONE will recommend "The Lido Shuffle". Everyone is right. :)

[@alzeppo]

yes..and member of Fleetwood Mac also!

[@alzeppo]

sorry wrong post!!..BS, member of Steve Miller Band...(who was FM, was Bob Welch..sorry)

[@cherylrickertu262]

Actually Boz was more established than Steve. But they came up together. So when Steve needed a rhythm guitarist for touring his friend stepped in. It was never meant to be permanent.

[@Salve01]

Boz harmonica on 'Fanny Mae' from Steve Miller's first album is a masterpiece of harmonicablowing.

[@peterobertson2086]

At least you spelt his name correctly

[@lindapetro5594]

He had tons of hits of every album: I loved “Look what you’ve done”; “Heart of Mine”; “Ledo Shuffle”; “We’re all alone”….For the longest time I thought Boz sang “Queen of the Slipstream”, but that was Van Morrison. 😁

[@patrickmurchison9145]

I love "Heart of Mine" which was written by Bobby Caldwell (of "What You Won't Do for Love" fame). I think I might like Bobby's version mo' better!!! Bobby may have written other Boz songs.

[@alansmith7626]

[@kerrybeesley6957]

[@elizabethheadid5996]

I believe these beautiful ladies have been Boz's backup vocalists for years! They sound more beautiful than ever! I was born in 1964 so grew up in the greatest Era for music that brought people of all stripes together and unified us in many ways. Our Country really enjoyed and needed that after race riots and the Vietnam War. I'm so sad to see us separating again 😢 But maybe if we can keep this alive like you two, young, sweet people are doing, we can feel love again! Thank you so much! You two are so sweet 💕💗

[@tonyginnetti5828]

Well, "Lowdown" won the Grammy Award for Best R&B song for 1976 and the album "Silk Degrees" (which included 3 more top hits including "Lido Shuffle" and "It's Over", not to mention a beautiful song called "We're All Alone" that became a million-selling hit for Rita Cooledge) was nominated for Album of The Year in 1976 and subsequently went 5-times platinum! One of the best popular/R&B albums ever recorded!

The first time I ever heard Boz was when he stood in for The Beach Boys who were supposed to be playing in Minneapolis. When it was announced that the BB were not going to perform and Boz Skaggs was filling in, I was a little angry UNTIL he took the stage and started playing. I was blown away. You should check out the studio version of this song along with JoJo and LIdo Shuffle

[@hallewis389]

I've been lucky with some show cancellations also, Reba got sick and LeeAnn Rimes ( a nobody at the time) played a wonderful show.

[@gregfagan199]

Boz is the epitome of cool. If you want to hear mind-blowing vocals, listen to the backup singers on "Love, Look What You've Done to Me" from this same performance. And yes, the album this song appeared on came out in the mid 1970s, so it was disco-influenced.

I drove three hours to take my mom to see Boz Skaggs a few years back. I think this concert was filmed during that concert tour. It was an amazing show! You really should go back and listen to the studio version, though, just to hear his voice as it was back at the height of his career. He's been a favorite of mine since I was a little girl in the '70s!

[@AbcDef-iq4no]

This is one of those songs with an unmistakable, wall-shaking beat. This was a true cross-over hit too because when it came out every pop, rock and R&B station was playing it. Another Boz Skaggs song I like is a slower song: "Look What You've Done to Me."

He named a song after my cousin, called Dina Flo

[@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra]

Boz started out in the Steve Miller Band (1st 2 albums), before ending-up in Muscle Shoals (not, actually, in Muscle Shoals.) @ F.A.M.E. Records & meeting a kid that Rick Hall (the owner of FAME ) met sleeping in the parking lot. Kid was named: Duane Allman (before forming The Allman Brothers Band with his brother Gregg, etc.)👍👍. -Boz ended-up covering Fenton Robinson's "Somebody Loan Me A Dime" (as: "Loan Me A Dime"). This is Boz in the '70s (when he was, already established as a solo artist.) The "secret" to this tour (and this album and a couple around it) is that: numerous future members of Toto were members of Boz's touring band (along with Les McCann, who is the original guitar soloist on this song.). Jeff Porcaro on drums, I believe Mike Porcaro on keys, David Hungate on bass. ...These guys were all studio regulars and played on tons&tons of albums -both together & separately!-). Anyhow: Jeff played on a number of cuts on this album and the guys I mentioned, went out as the touring outfit for Boz Scaggs' Silk Degrees. 🤘🤘 [The "huge secret" is that: WHILE they were recording: TOTO IV (That's the album w/"Rosanna" & "Africa" on it), as their night job (yep. They did this after a full day of working on a gig for someone else!), d'you know what their "day job" was??: Recording tracks for michael jackson's Thriller (for Quincy Jones & m.j.)! Yup! No yolk! 😋😛😂👍👍]

Those guys would go on to form the band Toto. Superb musicians. And damn nobody sounds like Boz such a unique cadence.

[@tiger2old]

This is what is soooo amazing about this industry, as you alluded to Jeff and the David’s evolved and Toto was born and as they grew they became a breeding ground for other new groups, as an example, Timothy B. Schmidt joined the Eagles providing his guitar and vocal chops. But I digress, Boz Scaggs Silk Degrees album was one of the most influential of its time…what a magnificent album.

This was from the late 70's, so this sound was a fusion of a little R&B with a little funk and a smidgen of disco. Back then genres often blended into each other because people just loved everything that sounded good and wanted to dance to it in the clubs or at parties. Back then you could hear every type of music played on the top 40 or FM radio and no one cared too much about the genre, just if the music sounded good and they could vibe to it. If you liked this and Hall & Oates, you should listen to Bobby Caldwell, "What You Won't Do For Love" and Canadian singer Gino Vannelli, "I Just Wanna Stop".

[@diannebleacher6156]

Gino…OH YEAH!!! He makes me melt!

[@laurogarza4953]

Boz Skaggs was lead vocalist in a band that included horns, woodwinds and keyboards on top of the usual Rock & Roll sound that was guitars, percussion and vocal. I believe it is fair to say they were really a Rhythm & Blues group. There were a few others that followed that same formula and several had good success on the Popular Music Radio stations. Groups including Chicago, Gerry Rafferty and E.L.O.. I'm sure there were other examples as well.

A NOPE 1976 ,,

[@tedthonn3026]

This LP won the Grammy in 1976 for best record. It charted in the top ten on four different Billboard charts, including soul and R&B. I've seen him 3 times in the last 5 years and he never disappoints. He has a huge catalog with a ton of blues.

[@stephaniejacobson4874]

I love this song "Lowdown" Rob Squad...... A must hear "Love look what you done"

[@sharonsglover5936]

Hearing "Lowdown" the first time took my breath away and I have loved hearing it since. It is fantastic!

[@leslie8743]

If you've been to a Boz Skaggs concert, it's filled with musicians. He is loved by all! Once you've seen him live, you would go to every tour. 💗

[@ginalolajupiter2942]

You've got that right, Leslie!

[@leonabarad6972]

Love Boz! "Look What You've Done To Me" and "Lido Shuffle" are must listens!

[@whitneyestate1402]

Heard it first when it exploded on to the charts in 76. Gets funkier and the musicianship goes up as we reel in the years. Best recorded version of this song to date. Sound engineers had everything sorted out in this performance.

[@DarrylSellers]

Boz Skaggs and his band ROCKED this song! I LOVE the funky bass line which gives the song a BIG boost! It was #3 on the Hot 100 Chart and #5 on the Soul Singles Chart! It's more "Blue Eyed" Soul! Yes, this song had WIDE appeal!😊👏🏾🎤🎶🎸🎹💯🛼

[@leisastalnaker3790]

I remember when this came out in the 70’s. He is smooth. It was during the disco era without it being disco.

[@colemitchell228]

Boz totally rocks. Other great Boz tunes: Breakdown Dead Ahead, Look What You've Done to Me, Georgia, JoJo, and of course Lido Shuffle is the best!!!

[@christinadiane4257]

They will love & really feel (🎶 look what you've done to me (" can't wait'! ✌😄🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶😂

[@dawnbailey1132]

Old R&B is my favorite too, and I'm 72! Love your channel!

[@andrewlanier1954]

That’s the point Amber and Robin that’s why I love you guys so much, I listen to music with you, Music is pretty much eternal, and you will never hear it. All, some of it is there any good some of it is classic beyond belief, and nobody is ever heard of, thank you for your gentle.

[@mikeb3835]

This is a great live version, between this song and "Lido Shuffle", Boz Scaggs was pretty big for a few years in the mid to late 70s.

[@Shrykespeare]

William Royce "Boz" Scaggs, born in Canton OH, grew up in Plano, TX. "Lowdown" was his first big hit. Other great ones include "Lido Shuffle", "Breakdown Dead Ahead", "Jojo", "Look What You've Done to Me", and "Miss Sun". He's now 77 years old and still recording, putting out his latest record in 2018.

[@kevinkeys3578]

1973-1977 high school . . . we were blessed to be bathed in a thousand artists and amazing bands!

[@mikemarcotte5962]

It's so hard not to get caught up in the groove, but the lyrics make me chuckle because they always conjure the facial expression of the person whose POV it's from😄

[@julesbee5739]

Another artist that I really enjoy from this genre is George Benson Give me the night, Broadway etc. If you haven't listened to him as yet then I definitely think you would enjoy his music

[@karylkline6442]

LOVE George Benson!!!!

[@johnedieter739]

absolutely.

[@loadedorygun]

on broadway heavens…that scat.

[@1amsdfmdf691]

The two of you are bringing so much light and joy into the world with your channel. Thank you. You should check out blues guitar legend Mr. Buddy Guy - Heavy Love.

[@CARNELIANTURQUOISE]

Agree! He's 83 and still playing great music!

[@maggieanne5340]

Boz and his Silk Degrees album is a classic. I remember buying the album when it came out. Please review another on this album...my favorite song of his, "Harbor Lights" oh man, talk about romantic! 🥰🥰🥰

[@mt0115]

Silk Degrees, I played that all the time along with my JJ Cale album Naturally, they call me the breeze I keep blowing down the road………

[@michaelmulherin9952]

harbor lights is magic

[@sylviacarlson3561]

I saw him in the Bay Area in 1980. He sounds exactly the same always. No frills, just his music, his instrumentalists, and his backup singers. Wonderful!!

[@karenj3611]

This whole album, "Silk Degrees "is amazing

[@tomwrobel279]

About 10 years ago, Boz Scaggs, Michael McDonald (Doobie Brothers), and Donald Fagen (Steely Dan) toured together as Dukes of September. Here is a great Boz-fronted performance of "Miss Sun": kzbin.info/www/bejne/govJmWiIarZ8kM0

[@dennisdye7270]

I missed a chance to see them in Atlanta several years ago. Definite mistake!

[@anthonylovavto3228]

Hard to find dvd dukes of september!

[@edwardforster8905]

And the ladies singing backing vocals too!! Heavenly voices ... they were spot on ... perfect!!! Jordan ... ya killed me 🤣🤣 ... with your comment to Amber: "Tea? I want somethin' to DRINK!!" Lmao Great song and great reactions!! More Boz ... and ... Doobie Brothers or Michael Mcdonald too!!! 👍🙏 I can't wait to see y'all react to more! @Rob Squad Reactions

[@JW-do9wq]

Was 15 when this came out. My older brother had a car and I would tag along, always in the back seat with his friends. Just grooving to music of the ‘70s. You guys bringing back great memories for me.

[@no2all]

This song was the perfect mix of R&B, rock, jazz and blues. Blew everyone away back in 1976. The album was probably one of the best of the 1970s with songs like "It's Over", "Georgia", and "What Can I Say". Look for other songs by Boz such as "Slow Dancer", "Jojo", "Breakdown Dead Ahead", "Miss Sun", "Loan Me A Dime" and "Might Have To Cry".

[@dereky99]

This song is a 70s release. His live performance is 30 years later. A true professional with staying power and a tight band.

[@Baldeson]

I had never seen/heard this version. Very nice, but the original studio version is etched on my brain.

[@jber9569]

I was actually at this performance. It's only a few years old and Boz has still got it. And he's a great guitar player too.

[@angelbulldog4934]

This is a "getcha groove on, turn it up cuz the neighbors love it too" kind of song. 🎶💖😎 My gen. We boomers had the best REAL music. No scratching, no electronic enhancement...just talent.

[@jordancrosno9711]

This whole album, the slow dancer album, Jojo album, Memphis album are all awesome

[@jamesstarks3676]

"Miss Sun" and "JoJo" and even his cover of "Love, Look What You've Done To Me" are quintessential Boz tracks. Grew up near you in Plano, TX. (North Dallas)... yes, do more of him definitely.

[@theodoreritola7641]

THIS WAS THE 70s ,,,,, No Doubt bout it

[@kevinkeys3578]

Boz's "Silk Degrees" album (1976) - Superb!! Explore the 70's! R&B, Rock, Jazz, SO YUM!

[@mrg7858]

Seriously, I wore out that album. So, so, so good.

[@conniejones8998]

I saw him in concert, I think that was my group. We had the best time. Then we saw him again, and he knew us. And set us for drinks. I love Boz

[@davebeach2343]

This entire album is a treasure. Any song from this is blue eyed soul. A part of everyone's party playlist for over a decade after it's release.

[@roberthendershott8972]

SO GLAD YOU PULLED THIS VENUE!! YOU HAVE GOT TO DO, LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME. THE BACKUP SINGERS AT THE END OF SONG,AMAZING VOCALS🔥💯 THOSE 2 GIRLS VOICES WILL BLOW YOUR🤯

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Yessssssss!!!!’

[@meliosorio105]

💯

[@acid0philus]

I've loved this song since I was a little boy, way back in the day!

[@hectornegron9155]

There's a short clip of this cool looking old dude dancing by himself on YT and that's how I discovered this song recently. Loved it immediatelly. It's described as Disco, Soft Rock, Blue Eyed Soul, Yatch Rock and Blues. Yet it won the Grammy for best R&B song in 1976. Go figure.😅

[@gennyreese420]

Love Boz..glad you found him 💙🙏🌠

[@tommack9395]

Most younger people may know We're All Alone, as every Wedding band in the 80's played it... My favorite is Breakdown Dead Ahead... Steve Lukather played all the guitar and the solos on Breakdown Dead Ahead - in fact half of Toto played on that "Middleman" album. Santana played on "You Can Have Me Anytime" on the same album. In the studio Skaggs used top session musicians along with quite a few well known artist. Bit of trivia... Boz Skaggs and Steve Miller were in the same band early on... the Marksmen.

[@cooljazz94]

When you listen to these songs, try to get in your time machine and realize what was happening and how it was happening. Unless they were on American Bandstand or Soul Train you never knew what the singers looked like, and you only heard a fraction of the quality of how you hear those songs today. Imagine hearing this song on a 5 inch speaker in the dashboard of your father's Oldsmobile on the AM radio. A totally different era, but that's where the roots of these older songs are. I'm just kinda geeked that you're hearing for the first time the songs that are the soundtrack of my life!

[@dianne6155]

literally my dads oldsmobile listening to AM radio. spot on

[@christopherbrown7017]

Technically, Boz was Classified more as Jazz/Rock Fusion. Boz was a force to be reckoned with as was his contemporary Gino Vannelli! The title track from his Brother to Brother Album is Stellar!!!
