Boz Scaggs is his own musical genre. He put the cool in cool.
He put the chill in cool. He toured Australia just as Silk Degrees was breaking. One of the best concerts ever. The whole band was decked out in white, amps were hidden behind white sheets, white backdrops... and the lighting guy had a blank canvas to work with. And Boz and the band blew us away.
@@mrmockatoo6786 You gotta' say away. He and Joe Walsh define cool.
That is so true ! Peace & Love
I think SADE and Steely Dan fall into that category as well ?

Boz Skaggs...
Boz Scaggs is the '' Bomb '' the session musicians on this track later formed Toto, the whole album is one of my favourite albums, excellent musicians ❤❤❤
He kills it on stage, with his incredible musicians. Boz is like Steely Dan as far as having studio musicians backing them as well. My brother just saw him this summer. Bummed I didn't go.
Toto: great musicians, lousy band. 😣
TOTO - heck yes! Hey Asia and BJ have you done TOTO?
@@TrianglesAndCircles Please, no. 😆
And Toto was all over Thriller
1976 was an unbelievable year for music…Respect…
The reason it sounds familiar is because the song is usef in commercials today. you've heard the beat
.maybe never the words
You know it, Framptons fist album, Boston first album, Hearts first album, all came out in 76, Definitely a good year for music. All of the 70s really.
@@SteveoGregg Fleetwood Mac Rumours, Eagles Hotel California
@@paulmorris8762 ABSOLUTELY!!!
Yup! I was there.
This was a HUGE hit on the Radio and in the Clubs. Still has the best groove. I want to dance! 👍👍👍
Jeff Pocarro's drums make it. Still one of my favorite recordings ever is from his 1st album: "Loan Me a Dime" with Duane Allman on guitar in Muscle Shoals.
Yes and yes.
Truth! R.I.P Jeff
Absolutely! I’ve got Boz’ box set as well as all his various CDs
"Loan Me A Dime" made me want learn how to play guitar and then give it up, simultaneously. LOL Awesome stuff.
Steve, you got good taste. But you already knew that. Can't beat classic blues.
It's 2022 and this song is STILL a "BADASS" song!!! IT ROCKS!!! NICE REACTION, you guys ROCK too!!!
2023 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This got tons of airplay back in the '70's. A band I was in last year played this tune, and you could see people's faces light up, "Oh, I remember this one"! Then start groovin'. That's what it's aaalll about, y'all. 😎
Yep, my old band started covering this a few years back, we got the same reaction. As soon as that bass popped, they hit the dance floor...
That entire album by Boz Scaggs was huge. Not a bad song in the whole bunch.
This song actually won best R&B song at the Grammys for that year...
Asia & BJ, his "Lido Shuffle" was another big hit!
edit- musicians included David Paich - keyboards, Jeff Porcaro - drums, David Hungate - bass before they went on to form the Band Toto!
Oh yes, Lido is a MUST! And then move on to "JoJo".
David Paich wrote or co-wrote half the songs on this album as well.
I can always tell my Toto boys! No mistaking Jeff on drums! Luvvvvvvvvvv it!!
Lido Shuffle is one of my favorite songs of the 70s. I can never get sick of this song!😎👍
And JO JO, another great Boz song!
So many great Boz Scaggs tracks. Let me add “Breakdown Straight Ahead” to the suggestions… it grooves AND rocks.
My favorite, live version especially. Saw him this year, he can still bring it.
Box Scaggs, “Jojo” is even better… If you can imagine!!
He is the man! I always laugh when people realize Boz is a white man 😉
His first name is pronounced: Bozz (Rhymes with Oz, like Wizard of Oz).
I love that song!
Oh yeah.. Jo Jo 🎶👍🏾
Just like Bobby Caldwell's What You Won't do 4 love? A huge R&B feel, but yet he is a white guy. For me, I don't care what color skin you have, but if I can sway 2 it, I'm all for it.......🤩🤪😜
Jeff Porcaro....one of the greatest drummers ever to walk the planet..!!!
That was an unbelievable nice Grove!🥁🎶🥰🥰🥰👍
Wife here.., Hey Guys.., Have adored this song all my life.."SUPER SMOOTH "for sure!!..Interesting fact..: , Boz Scaggs was a contributing member of Steely Dan..(sometimes)..NICE!! For Sure!!!..So cool to see you two loving this❤
The album Silk Degrees was notorious for its funk, soft rocking, jazzy, mellow vide in the mid-7o's. It spawned 3 singles that kept it on the radio and dance clubs for a solid 2 years. Boz Scaggs also scored later with BREAKDOWN DEAD AHEAD and LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME.
The song had been used in commercials which is why it's familiar to you. Now I have one for Asia to sing to BJ. Because the sentinel is right and it suits her vocal range. The song is by Gladys Knight and the Pips and it it called, NEITHER ONE OF US.
And for that little bit of funk for your soul listen to YOU GOT THE LOVE by Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. Enjoy.
good to see BJ grooving out to this iconic 70’s song. This song was huge for Boz Scaggs and he went on to have many more hits after Lowdown; a brilliant artist 👌
This is one of those songs you never get sick of...fabulous
This is the great, GREAT Jeff Porcaro on drums, one of the most recorded drummers in history. He's the drummer on "Beat It," for crying out loud. Last week was the 30th anniversary of his passing - he died too young at 38. To hear more of him grooving his ass off behind Boz Scaggs, check out "Jojo." It's a song about a pimp in a mink coat that sounds exactly like a pimp in a mink coat out for a stroll.
Steve Lukather plays guitar on this and "Best It" too.
David Paitch, keyboardist on this was also a member of Toto, along with Porcaro on drums and Lukather on lead guitar.
No one else sounds like Boz Scaggs, he certainly has a unique voice.
Takes me back to a time when it was a good day every day. People were just People and we had a good time. God Bless.
Per Songfacts the song is about a girl who doesn't appreciate what her man gives her. The "dirty lowdown" is the honest truth - what Scaggs is encouraging this poor sap to face.
The word "Lowdown" was popular slang meaning a summary of what's going on for real. The first Hot 100 entry with the term in the title came in 1969 with the instrumental "Lowdown Popcorn" by James Brown (#41, 1969). Next came Chicago's song "Lowdown" (#35, 1971.).
Useful info, thanks!
Seem to me it's about a guy who gives his girl everything but he does it the wrong way. Illegally. She starts wondering how he is doing it. He is just fooling himself thinking he can keep up with the joneses.
@@kathrinepearson7528 I never thought of it in that context, but that actually fits. I always thought it was about a gold digger taking advantage of some guy who just isn't getting it.
@@somersetcace1 The beauty of lyrics and the poet who wrote them right?
It's about gold diggers who are only around a man for what they can get and how men with massive egos can't see the truth of it.
We all become at least 20% cooler just listening to this groove.
Where to start ? With Boz Scaggs - you have to go down the rabbit hole. It s 5 decades deep at least. The early beginnings to now in his 70 s. So many love songs. So many soulful jazz songs. Such a cool guy with so much talent surrounding him too. His musicians are all top notch and so are “ his girls “.
Boz Scaggs's entire "Silk Degrees" album is a perfect standard of effortless cool. Pick any song at random, and you'll love it.
Boz had it all. Dirty lowdown. Saw him play in a convention center. He seemed surprised people canes to hear him. We wouldn’t let him go. Just kept him playing for hours. Didn’t care what song just play. So good. Wonderful memories.
BJ you got it going. Play more Boz please.
Bozz Scaggs "What can I say" is sublime!😁👍💜
One of the coolest and most memorable hits of the 1970’s with incredible musicianship . The vocals are superb as well.
Boz is the definition of style.
This was our 70s smooth music. Could listen to it all day. Thanks for this reaction. 👍👏
One of my favorite Boz songs. Exceptional voice and the drumming by Jeff Porcaro is masterful. The whole album Silk Degrees is 🔥🔥🔥
The 70s had some of the best music ever.
agree and Boz was one of the best of the best!
Puttin' your business in the street. That's awesome. Always loved this one.
Talkin' out loud. You better bring the chick around.
Boz brought everyone out on the dance floor back in the day.
Love some Boz!
The 70s was a magical time to be a teenager.....
So true.
Yeah
Killer tune! Nice bass line and shuffle drum beat.
So much great music back then. The bands were incredible.
You've probably heard this one before guys; it's NEVER been off the radio, never forgotten. It's too good for that. Paiche on keyboards, Porcaro on drums, Hungate on that in-your-face bass - those guys eventually formed a little band called TOTO ("Africa", "Rosanna", etc.) Meanwhile, Boz - who knew good musicians when he heard them - sounds like the smoothest 70s m'fer ever. That dirty Lowdown! You can smell the Brut cologne and see the gold crucifix twinkling in the chest hair all the way from here.
“smoothest 70s m’fer ever” Well-played my friend!
Classic song. This was a HUGE R&B hit back in ‘76. It’s stilled played on classic soul stations today. He is speaking truth.
Its a disco song
You more than likely heard this in a grocery store. He's been around for a long time. His music is great. All of it pretty much.
The most sophisticated fusion of light jazz, soul, R&B and elegant lyrics....and it defined an era of cool that will never be replicated. Almost any Boz Scaggs song just brought the evening into anytime of the day the way he could flood your mind with that vibe.
Killer song with an amazing 70s vibe. It's sung with style and attitude.
He was so soulful and bluesy. Definitely R & B Love this song.
And he still is. Saw him perform just a few years ago and he sounded as great as ever !
This is in my Top 5 Favorites of all time! I was 15 when this came out! September,1976 This song was Featured in the Movie Lookung for Mr. Goodbar in 1976.
The phrase is , The Groove, Bozz Scaggs was my introduction to what has been termed as Blue Eyed Soul.
I think JoJo is my favorite Boz Scaggs song. It's a little funkier than Lowdown with some kick ass sax in it.
Boz Scaggs is so talented, and I love that he understands how to carry a sound so many of us love to take a listen to. Thanks Asia and BJ
I don't know if you guys are able to, or even considered reacting to a whole album, but if you do, I'd recommend the album that this song is off of. "Silk Degrees." Not a bad track on it! Great reaction guys! And Asia, I love your laugh! It's very engaging!😁
Completely agree! I recently had buy a new copy of the album as o wore the other one out!
YES! 1000%
The late great Jeff Porcaro! Those drums just carry the soul to this song!
Nobody does it cooler than Boz! Saw him 5 years ago. His backup singers are fantastic.
Pronounced like Oz (as in the wizard). Such a vibe. Introduced to him by my wife.
Oooooh.....I luv some Boz Skaggs! I used to sneak my dad's album to listen to him...hee hee🤭 Check out Lido Shuffle too!!!🤗
Everytime this song comes on the radio while I'm driving. I always feel badass.
The music of the 70s was unparalleled. Regardless of genre'
Boz is the definition of cool 🐈..I adore his compilation of jazz, r&b, soul..great music!! He still tours and his fan base has stuck with him. I have been a fan over 40 years..just coolest, try " georgia" . He is from New Orleans and is as fine as gumbo roux!!
Boz scaggs is one of the funkiest white men out there. He has got one hell of a voice and this song is absolutely amazing. What a perfect way to end my night.
I love this! these young peeps diggin this stuff where I came from. Asia doesn’t stop smiling.
One of my favorite songs .. THANKS
Danced to it many times in the clubs
"Silk Degrees" hit me upside the head at 12 years old or so. Loved that album. Smooth music. Lots of fun remembering the greats from when I was young. Love your reactions and listening with you two.
A proper feel good song, great tune and easy vocal work makes for a song you couldn't possibly dislike.
Have always loved this song. My mom played the crap out it this when I was kid. Wicked groove.
Snoop sampled it for Wonder What It Do. Surprised it hasn't been used more.
Now the great Boz Skaggs!!! He was at the top of the charts in the 70s and 80s, did some unbelievable music… And from what I understand he’s still going strong. Glad to see you reacting to this exceptional performer and singer
You heard right and he is. Voice is still there.
I saw him a couple of months ago in Santa Rosa. He's 78 now; his voice is PERFECT! And he's a great guitar player too. Best concert I've seen in years!
Boz Scaggs had such a unique sound! And you two make me want to watch you dance together. You really move to this song so naturally!
I loved this song, since I heard it for the first time in my youth. But today I read in your Video, that David Paich, founder of Toto, played the Keyboards and Jeff Porcaro on drums 😮❤❤❤
Just imagine having Boz Scaggs AND Steely Dan on the radio. Music was so damn good. This right here…got to move when it came on!
Lido Shuffle is another must.
that's Lonnie Shelton on the guitar solo, he also played the solo on "Hello" by Lionel Richie, the guitar on ABC by the Jackson 5 and many many other classics.
You could pick any song from this album, Silk Degrees, and not be disappointed, but Lowdown is, in my opinion, a perfect song. If the groove does not get you moving, check your pulse, and Boz's vocals are just like the album name - silk. I loved seeing you both move and groove to this song - it made it that much more enjoyable!
Hi Asia & BJ, You guys hit the jackpot with this track, because "Lowdown" by Boz Scaggs is such a smooth & soulful "JAM" from the 70's!!! And I'm telling you that when this song first came out and it was played at the clubs & parties, the dance floors got packed with people groovin' to this masterpiece!!! Once again, "Soul" has no color, it is something that you either have it or you don't...Plain & Simple...Mic Drop!!! 🎤
Love Boz❤️ I saw him at Jazz Alley in Seattle about 8 years ago…..so good😊
First I'd like to say it was fun watching how much fun BJ was having listening to this song. Boz Scaggs Silk Degrees and Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life were two of the biggest albums of 1976. It's easy to see why. Both are fantastic albums from beginning to end.
1976 was an AWESOME year for music
This is vintage soft rock from 1976. It has a great R&B groove and great back up singers and Boz has a great voice also.
I sold SO many copies of this album at the record shop I worked at in the late '70's.
Ahh, the Rock/Soul/Funk era of the mid 1970s! There's was no better time to be a music fan! We had a song for every emotion you could think of!
Biz Scaggs from 70s. Funk and jazz smooth feel!! Love it
I psych people all the time with this. It starts fast and people thinks its an upbeat disco song, then it leads into the verse and you can see them vibe.
The song is basically a mix of old R&B and disco.
The drums and bass are definitely disco.
Louie Shelton has a video on UA-cam explaining his lead guitar parts.
Louie is amazing.
This takes me back to my first high school dance. Sure, there was a lot of disco ("Do the Hustle"), but imagine also Aerosmith "Walk This Way" (the original), Earth Wind & Fire "Shining Star", Queen "Bohemian Rhapsody", Stevie Wonder "Sir Duke" and this cool jam! There was a little something for everyone.
A few years ago I saw Boz Scaggs live in concert in Los Angeles. He was a very likable performer and the show was great.
Another great 70’s vibe!
So smooth and makes you want to get your groove on and boogie like Scooby wearing a plaid shirt, sunglasses, and neon orange shorts saying, "Rut Row."
This is part of the sound track of my high school and college years. Silk Degrees was one of my favorite albums of all time. Not a bad song on the album.
It's not a throwback, it's from-back. This is where throwbacks land!
So cool and brilliant musicians. It doesn't get better😎👍
The variety of music genres you guys cover is sensational. Thanks. Love this track 😎👌
Our pleasure!
TRUST ME On This Feel Good Smooth Soul Groove Classic,, The Blackbyrds "Walking In Rhythm"...A MUST HEAR.
Real musicians here boys and girls, complete human talented jam and vocals.
The song was Huge back in the day, when I was a kid in the 70's. Got tons of airplay, and played on a variety of stations, from R&B, jazz, and rock.
Half of these classic songs that you halfway recognize, it's because they seem to be on continuous loop as background music at every grocery store -- now, that's the lowdown truth!
Boz got SOUL!!!! Lost track of how many copies of cassettes/CD'S of his greatest hits album I went through. Either wore out or swiped by some of my so called friends. 😂
They were doing you a favour getting a fresh copy that you hadn’t worn out yet. 😂
Haven't heard this gem and Boz in a looong time.....thanks for the awesome throwback groove 🕊️💗
The whole "Silk Degrees" album is great. Remember when it came out in 1976. It has a bluesy sound to it. Two of his 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". "Look What You've Done To Me" was co-written by Boz Scaggs & David Foster for the 1980 movie "Urban Cowboy".
Boz is an old friend of Steve Miller. Boz was brought into Miller's earlier band (when in high school at ages 15 and 16 yrs) to sing, and rejoined Steve again for the first two albums by The Steve Miller Band in the 60's. Boz has been to Miller's ranch in southern Oregon; I worked on Miller's ranch in the early to mid 80's...to when Steve sold the ranch in '86. Beautiful place and great times.
This song is a
typical style of music from that time. R&B. slow jam with a little Funk, percussion. A group I remember that fits that style, was Jack Mack and the Heart Attack, they had a little more horns throw in ala Tower of Power.One song I remember in particular was ^Wonderful Girl^ done by Jack Mack, same groove as Lowdown.
This was a real crossover hit when it came out. Honestly, it’s almost more disco than anything else - but was just a stone groove. I can listen to it over and over.
And those super hip, lowdown lyrics! Just too cool.
Great watching you two find that groove. Boz is fantastic.
Anyone who loves the song should watch the UA-cam video from 2015 when Boz was 71, the man still has it.
It was called Jools Annual Hootenanny, and is a New Year show here in UK.
Jools Holland was famously part of the band Squeeze, who had some great music back in the day.
NO ONE Should Go Through Their Life Without Hearing This Soul Classic,, Junior Walker & The All Stars "What Does It Take"
I call this "jazz-funk" ... one of my all time favorites
Steely Dan was my first high school experience (73-76) and I loved them the moment I heard them, and it made me very picky as a music listener. Then I heard Boz Scaggs, and Fleetwood Mac, and I followed their path of sound at the same time. As a child, my Grandparents played Traditional Slavic music as musicians, which is very unique sounds so I was prepped since birth with a good ear for music. My Parents were from the Big Band era and while in high school - my oldest sister was a singer and married a classical 12-string guitarist from Spain in their band in Spain. I didn't know how blessed I was in the 1970s with this foundation of expansive music, good for the body and soul. I couldn't stand the cheap pop or he-man macho music of the 1980s and had to wait until the 1990s music to enjoy the sounds, rhythm, and atmosphere again.
Can hear a little Isley brothers towards the end there with the guitars.
