Lyrics:
Baby's into runnin' round
Hangin' with the crowd
Putting your business in the street
Talkin' out loud
Sayin' you bought her this and that
And how much you done spent
I swear she must believe
Its all heaven sent
Hey boy
You better bring the chick around
To the sad sad truth
The dirty lowdown
(Oooh oooh
I wonder wonder wonder wonder who)
Taught her how to talk like that
(Oooh oooh..
I wonder wonder wonder wonder who)
Gave her that big idea
#BozScaggs #RockAndRoll #Vevo #Lowdown
70 year old drummer here, recommended this tune to my band members. We play it a lot with a great reaction from the crowd.
Great call! Keep rocking it!!
That's awesome bro !!! I am most likely around his age (63) and Boz was the man in the 70s for a short time, but his music is still good shit !!! 😎✊️🎶🎶🎶🎶

"Contusion" - Steve Wonder
Well. I’m almost 78. Love this music Dancing around my kitchen. 😀😀😀. Going to introduce to my yoga club tomorrow. Usually it’s Pete Tong. Goes great with. Qgong tapping plus cross crawl exercises. Good for left and right brain balance to start and warm up. Then on to some series chill music for yoga and meditation. We need balance all things Loud and quiet. Light and dark. The 80 yr olds love it 😀😀 🌈💜
❤❤❤
I'm 69 and still have time so I'm always playing my music from late 60's and 70's for my granddaughter. She now knows the difference between real bands vs a music machine.
Classic fo sho
A lot of young people like '80s music, too. I don't even call the stuff on radio music.
I'm 62 and I still listen to Boz Scaggs
Me too ❤
I'm 61. I too listen to Boz Scaggs. Always will.
I’m 15 and I’m so so so happy I discovered this type of music😄
Yo tengo 60 años y está música no pasa el tiempo,es vigente siempre
I'm 66 and I always listen to Boz scaggs music 🎶 loud as I can and clear😊😊
Proof that the 1970s were way better than I formerly remembered. Still the essence of cool after almost half a century.
AGREED 😊
I grew up in the 70s and was unaware of how great it was. Post Vietnam National Hangover and guilt because the hippies lost the war. Drugs, losers and black activists...kinda like today. However, looking in the rear view mirror the music was on point.
Nothing touches the 70s for music in my not very humble opinion.
They just don’t make music 🎵 like this anymore
Yes
...This used to be my Mom's JAM back in '76, when I was a toddler. She wore that 8 Track OUT!
...Mom will be 75 next week.
🎂👍🏽💯😆🎛️🎧
Hope your mother will live over a century.
@@tuananhnguyenba7399
Thank You, Here's Hoping! : )
There's a saying that a music lover never gets old mentally, on the contrary gets younger.
This jam was also a fav of my Mom in the 70s and now I love to play it & think back to how great things were back in the day.
Happy birthday to your mum
Love from Australia 🇦🇺🌺
can't believe this album is almost 50 years old, makes me feel 18 again, I wore that album out!
I know, me too! I was about 20 when this song came out, and I STILL MISS the 1970s! Best Decade to grow up in!
almost 50 your still too young for this LOL....I'm the same It's my Dad's music love it though
😅 I'm currently a 31 year old and always had this playing thanks to my parents in my childhood years. May y'all OG's continue to rock on to this!!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Much love and peace ✌🏽🕊️ world wide!
Inherited this 8-track when I started driving my dad’s old car. ❤
I agree Karen!!!!
I’m 65! This is still the best era of music ever written and produced!!
I sometimes need a reminder on how great artists like Boz Scaggs ruled the 70s. Instantly transported to late childhood/preteen years
I am 75.still grooving. Live the Man
I don't always listen to Boz Scaggs but when I do, so do my neighbors.
Hermunkle same...lol
Hermunkle lol
Hermunkle it’s 1am and I just woke up my wife laughing at this!!✌🏾
Best comment on here
I laughed and cried.
Another funky white boy,who was jamming in the 70s
As a kid I always thought this guy was black.😂
My dad[Rip] had very great taste in music with a massive record collection and Average White Band, Steely Dan were some phenomenal groups
There was a LOT of them!! Lol
Reading these comments brings me back to the old adage......"Good is Good and Classics will remain CLASSICS" This is when music was music. Boz Scaggs, Stealy Dan, Joe Jackson, Doobie Brothers, Eagles. The quality of these groups, the quality of their music, musicianship. From the get-go, it all had staying power. So, here we are 60 and 70 years later it still sounds New and fresh.
That's just the view from my saddle.
I'm with ya Danny😊😂!
Me..too!!👍❤❤
Average white band to add to that list
I miss my Dad so much. He use to play these guys loud in the garage while working on whatever project he had at the moment. Cant wait to see him in the sky.
😢
I'm sure he's proud of his beautiful daughter ❤❤😘😘
Yo 😉😇
My father used to play this song also. Rest in peace, dad.
Your Dad was and is one cool guy.
I was too young to appreciate Boz Scaggs in the 70s...but I sure do appreciate him now.
Oh it's okay you like all that matters now. 😊💃❤
Didn’t like when I was a kid till I grew up 62 now
I was 20 when this was on the charts and he dominated! What a time to live in as far as music is concerned.
Same, born in '70, had little interest in his music until lately
Lucky to be so young, yet with good taste.
It's January 2023 and I am still celebrating the music of the 1970's. And they don't get better than the Lowdown from the Boz.
If you love 70’s style music try listening to @younggunsilerfox they capture the 70’s sound brilliantly and add a modern twist
Great decade
Hello from 2032
I love me some Boz :)
Loved it as a kid. And I still love it today. What a tune!
Quality never comes out of style.
Jeff Porcaro's drumming so was so damn precise and perfect. He will always rank as the best in my opinion.
I kinda just go "of course its jeff porcaro!" now
Best groove drummer in history, ask Keltner or Blaine etc.
On the night I met the love of my life at the disco, this was the the song being played when I first asked her if she would like to dance. Thanks Boz for helping launch a beautiful lifetime
You oughtta let Mr. Scaggs know that
You Go Brother! Hope it was worth it!!
So yeah, I started crying a bit reading this. There was something about that 70s music . . .
That's so cool. Hope for many more years for you both.
@@roberthunt1540 Nothing like it.
Boz Scaggs' voice is air-conditioned, it's so cool.
Too cool
Noice
Cooler than the other side of the pillow
@@Craig-bz3dm ssssimp
Z can you play Neil Diamond Stones
I'm 47 and have been white knuckling through life not paying attention or being open to different things. Something happened and I'm awake and discovering all of the things I've missed along the way. This is a great song and I'm so thrilled and thankful to discover the great things I've missed.
May God bless you and keep you safe 💗🙏
Keep moving forward!!😊
Never too late ! Enjoy the ride ! ✨
Enjoy the music 🎉
And immediately the scales fell from his eyes. Welcome to the here and now my fellow traveler.

My husband's gone twenty-five years now, but not all of him - no, NEVER all...
His soul is bouncing around the universe jiving to this song ❤️
He's still here Marge... He's still here...
Sorry about your huge loss....Brotherly hug from Italy
That's a beautiful sentiment 🥰
he'll be alive as long as you remember him

God bless him
One of the coolest songs ever written. It's scientifically proven to make you 7% cooler just for listening to it!
Sure is
100%, listening to this gives you 100 doses of concentrated bad ass
Without a doubt
love this !!! xoxo
Can tell you haven't had any dirty lowdown put on your parade! Glad that you're enjoying. ❤❤🇺🇲
Jeff Porcaro’s drum kit front and center - such a lovely groove and he sustains it for five minutes. Paich’s composing and keyboards are perfection. And Boz tells the story with such soul. Boz and David (Paich) never thought this one would be a hit, but here we are decades later. It’s still fresh and still a hit. And that is the lowdown on “Lowdown”.
great synopsis sir
Though young, was there when it came out and stopped what I was doing the 1st time I heard it and even understood most of the lyrics as a kid:). But it was a hit out the box as soon as that DJ (in Cleveland or Cincy) started playing it from the album. And guessing sometime in the 90s I read they didn't think it would be a hit. Which should tell you how hard that process is.
You must be a writer. Awesome description!
Pause10two4
Never thought it would be a hit, but there it is
Smooth doesn't have an age.
This is probably the best blue-eyed soul cut that was ever put on wax!
The muh flippin' cut right here! "Nothin you can't handle, nothin you ain't got, put yo money on the table, drive it off the lot"...that's the biz!
***** Right? What a sick line!
I reckon you nailed it Mr. Scott.
True dat, Mr. Larry!
This and "What You Won't Do For Love" by Bobby Caldwell.
Is there anyone else out there, That when you listen to music like this. Think back to how old you were and how care free life was, As a 61 yr old man who has lost both parents and some friends, This song almost makes me want to cry.
Me xxx
Sending love to you out there on this internet thingy xx
@@MadMartellI’m 53 and want to cry 😂😂😂Awesome song, don’t make them like this ANYMORE more
Me
I hear ya, just enjoy every minute you can I think Earth is heaven and it may only get worse from here
I'm stuck in 76 77 and refuse to move forward. Times where so happy. Now everything is misery
I wish I could go back too.🫤
@@thrownforaloop57 we took things for granted back then What wear we all thinking,? The legacy of that time will live forever!
I agree 💯, music 🎶 and time's we're living in sucks.
You folks need the Lord .He can help move on to a new future!
I agree im living in the 70's also as skyhooks sang once it was better times.
Another white guy with a soul. First heard this song in 1976 while going to college one morning in Puerto Rico on the AFRTS (the Roosevelt Roads Naval Radio Station no longer in operation on the Island) and boy did I hummed that tune all day long in my head. Great music back then...
Still is baby!
Right on Rosey Roads! We played football against them, Commonwealth Comets all the way.
And there was Bobby Caldwell 🙌🏻
I’m 59. Remember listening to this when I was 9
Absolute fucking grooves!
My 2 Year old came into my office while this was playing and started dancing. Kids going to have good taste in music. Thanks Mr. Scaggs!
Yessss he will.😂💃🏼🕺
And that is how to teach the kids today to appreciate GOOD MUSIC! My Father, God Rest his Mighty Soul and my Dear Mother were wise enough to turn us kids on to All The Greats while we grew up. Now I have one of the most well rounded appreciation of music that could be!!! Well Done!!!
Iam 64yr old now ..still cutting the rug to it ..love it
You've got a nice office Sir!
Kids know good music when they hear it.
Fun fact: Jeff Porcaro was a mere 22y when he laid down this highly infectious drumtrack.
RIP Jeff
❤
He was a bad motor scooter.
That is some cool jazz drum. 😎
Is this a mambo or a cha cha? 🤔
My $ on a chacha.
22y?! You mean he was part of an algebra equasion?!
Saw Boz in concert, a couple of summers ago. He sounds as fabulous today as he ever did. Such a cool sound!
Me too, he sounded just like the albums.
Cool!
JEALOUS!
Where did you see bars at in concert I would love to see him I just love his voice and his music 🎶
Awsome song
Thanks Boz , this song is timeless . You can dance to it, you can just listen to it and groove . Peace and love everyone .
Steve Miller as Well.

Never heard of them. Searching for them now! Thank you for introducing me 🎉😮😊❤❤❤
Chainsmokers!!! Listen 😊
This song came on the radio on my way home... so what do I do.... Come home and put it on repeat while I cook my dinner. Love me some Boz...Still listening in 2023!!
without doubt!
I was cleaning my kitchen while listening to this song, as I was singing along.😅
Saw Boz at the Kaufman (Kansas City) in 2022. He’s still as smooth as 20 year old scotch.
And 2024❤
2024!
50 years later and it’s just as cool as the day it came out!
Not Quite 50yrs yet. Release in March 1976
Cooler!
FLASH back to great times driving a Lemans Pontiac on the radio 📻 with my girlfriend 🙂👍🤗
What he or she 💓💓💓said..
Sad sad Truth the dirty lowdown....😎
Iam "56" years young, My Dad taught me! A Good Song Is Timeless!!!
Silk Degrees--one of the best albums of the '70's; Lowdown--one of the best singles of the '70's.
Of all time.
When my dad played this.. a good mood was on. Greatest of memories dancin with him. He's 81 now n I'm 50.. I should put this on next time I'm over n grab his hand to dance!
Absolutely... Lucky girl.... I don't know what music my father listened to. He always had head phones on.... Drag....
I think it was elevator music..at least from what I saw. Which makes no sense. He was a pretty
Cool guy. He'd be 97 now. Or 98.
I've googled early RB and jazz. And some things never change. I LOLed again the other day. Seeing what they were singing about .. Even in like the 20's.
Ana and Mama Know birthday song for your dad
Ana and Mama Know YES, most definitely!!!!

I am a black man and I love this song. Boz Scaggs actually has some soul. I love the arrangement, the vocal, and the lyrics. This is one damn good song.
He gets an invite to the cookout.
This Filipino thinks Boz Skaggs was cool
Boz is a brother from a nother mother lol!
@Ryan Crump I'm purple and I dig it.
That's funny. I didn't realize Soul music had a color. I am Mexican and have played bass for 20 plus years. Mainly Blues,Motown, R&B and never knew that soul had a color. What about funk? Does it have a color? I know plenty of black musicians that can't bring the funk!
This is a song you play when your car has been cleaned and waxed.
I finally got to see the Boz in person a few years back at the Emerald Queen casino in Tacoma, Washington. Did not disappoint. Was there with my 80+ year old uncle. What a memory.
Jeff pocaro has that crisp, snap on the drums! He was 22 when he played on this track.
Mate, you don't know how many times I've listened to the first two seconds of this song to enjoy that opening drum fill!
Oh wow!! I never knew that!
Porcaro was a beast on drums. Love Toto and all the Porcaro brothers. Such great talent
I lived in Southern Nevada and met a friend that drummed and was from the the Hollywood area. We talked about bands and musicians and the subject of Boz Scaggs. He said Jeff Porcaro died a while back. I didn't sleep that night. But I dreamed I saw his tomb. Years later I found his marker in the online. It was just like the dream. Rest In Peace Jeff Porcaro. My friend and musician brother.
Amazing
I love this song; it's still so cool after all these years.
You might say...it's eternal
Yes I totally agree..
Feels good don't it? Just makes everything 😎
This isn't Boz Scaggs answering you here.
He's only left this comment on women's channels!
He will try and get you to join you on Whatsapp.
Be very aware!
It's a scam!!
Absolutely cool his voice especially that bass and drum line ❤️💯
Never heard this song. It’s so beautiful. Drive my car home. Shortly before almost on driveway it’s start playing. I closed windows in the car and turn volume to maximum. Probably all neighborhood listed this song with me. I’m 63. But I was born in country where was ban on western music and I missed this song. Now I will have it with me all the time. Thank you for sharing this amazing song.
Here it is folks proof that we are all black the man has soul !!!
Amen
Bozz Scaggs is invited to the cookout.
This reminds me of driving on Highway 101 toward San Francisco with my new wife on our honeymoon - both of us so young and so full of hope. Good memories.
I feel ya!! Luv the City!!!
Yep those evening in my home town driving
Life is what what you make it it, being positive life enjoyable. I grew up poor but never let it get me down. In my 60's now life is about ups and downs. Just remember don't argue about the little things.
how lovely
Dude, that's a beautiful picture 👍
My older sister sadly had the chore of dropping me off at school. She would blast this song in her convertible 69 impala. And she would always have the top down and wear these big dark sunglasses even when it wasn't sunny out and in the morning. I used to feel weird, I was in elementary...lol, but then I realized my sis was really cooooool!! She still is, and her husband and kids think so too!! :)
You are one lucky Cat !!! I hope you Thank your Beautiful Sister for your great taste in Music 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Those sunglasses would be RayBan Wayfarer, and that lack of sun would be the Cali “June Gloom” I’m sure 😉
Definitely older sister cool😎and knows good music.✌️
Hott
Was your sister’s sunglasses the kind that were dark on top light on bottom, and were they huge? I saw a lot of that particularly in the Summer of 1977-when I was nine.
Have been a Boz Scaggs fan for 50 years. Incredible talent and he just so cool.
@@bozscaggsmusic..nice to meet you. Love that you are still performing. Your voice has only improved with age. ♥
brb gotta steal a dan
The reason his so cool, is because you a fan
Boz Scaggs sounds just as good live. He sings with no alterations, and his musicians play the music live. Pure. These were the songs of OUR youth. No cussing or degenerated fake gangster BS, just music.
Always the coolest guy in the room.
When I first heard this song in 1976 I was utterly impressed, it´s so ahead of its time, a masterpiece!
Me too
ME TOO!✊🏼
I was 16 years old( 1976) loved this song then, turned 63 last Friday. Just heard this song on Facebook. Still sounds good.
💃 💃 💃♥️👌
Reminds me of summer and my first girlfriend. This song is timeless!
It was no coincidence that the 70s probably had the best music all around whether it was rock jazz R&B soul you name it😎
Don't forget the 60's!
totally agree!!! as a teenager in the 80s techno pop was my thing,but with time I moved on to other musics snd styles and found out I could soend the rest if my life listening to the music of the decade late sixties to late seventies,my God they friggin had everything,snd most of it good! any average composition from this time makes any present pop song sound ridiculously lame and silly...
Listen to the 50s and 60 but I mainly grew up in the 70s 80s, and , 90s they were putting some good laid-back modern songs out and soft rock music.🎶🎶
I agree!!..
Yes sir it was good times. We had it all back then. I'm 65 now but my mind is felling those great teenage years.
The 70's were cool because of bass lines like this.
True!! Real musicians.
I never liked a bashful bass line, got to hear it.
David Hungate (toto) good bass player
FORREAL
Right on --- and it gets extra nasty in the last minute ⚡⚡⚡
Today’s music doesn’t even compare! A timeless classic that will live forever!! Boz you’re the boss!!!
Hell yeah my neighbors listen too 🙌
Mine to. I'm the reason for their hard of hearing now!! 😂
Grooved to this song in 1976 and I'm still grooving to it in 2020
Me too
Yes Sir.
2021 **********************************************************************************
Good music never ages
2021 still smooth
Real drums ,real flute,real bass player, the way pop should sound
Not pop it's soul
Actually it’s soul disco
Great music in the days before Auto-Tune!
Carbonated soda- anyone? A big black cow!? Ice cream and soda?
They on that Quincy Jones shit
2024 I'm 72 still movin n groovin to this fantastic music...great times from a great Era that will never die...
I listened to this while taking a lonely Thanksgiving 2023 walk. 30 seconds in, I realized there’s nobody out and started “dancing” like the fool I am. But I felt cool and that’s all that matters!
Then why talk about it
❤ 🥰👍🎶
dance like no one is watching ........😎
Just saw Boz in concert last night and the man brought down the house, at 78 he has not skipped a beat. First heard him with Silk Degrees when I was in college in the 70's. Look up cool in the dictionary, Boz Skaggs is the definition!!
glad to hear that, he will be in the area shortly and we were trying to decide whether or not to get tickets!!!
Gay. Gay as hell.
@@joyteague2688 I would love to see Boz.
I envy you Mano ✊
I was just thinking is the man still performing, you answered my question.👍
This song is so smooth that my laptop slipped off the table.
So did I
innertubez 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haaaa!!very funny!!! One of my first albums 😊😊😊
Laptop groovin'
Lol!
70s dreams, memories seams, music streams, beauty gleams.
👍
This is one of those jams that takes you back ... almost literally, to everything that was good about the 70's.!
So very true! I miss those times. Wish I had a time machine!
Amen! And still rockin it Christmas 2023!❤
Summer breeze makes me feel fine!
@@kara0300 That'll be stuck in my head the rest of the night! It's fine with me!
I never get tired to listening to this song, his voice, the music, the chorus line...a timeless song...
Love this song and I'm 68
Same
I’ve got tickets to see him this summer. Totally stoked. ❤️🍎💋🎼🥃🍺🌿🎸
He crushed it last night! Enjoy!
Me too I'm 67
Give everything I have to get music back the way it was in the 70's. The music today lacks heart, creativity, and Star power. I do not listen to today's music at all. One or two songs in 5 years maybe are worth listening to. I take myself back to the days of my HS years and just relax to the best music the world has ever know. 60/70's. None better.
That's why I enjoy listening to some joints from Bruno Mars and Jamiroquai since those artists sometimes come out with songs that sound so very old
Listen to a song called Move by Saint Hotel
And then I think you'll probably listen to a little more
***** Actually, they started out in '93. And that's an English group I'd rather listen to. Unlike One Direction.
the most and best years for music was 1969-1978 and that's a fact JACK...
Daddy Skydiver l agree,but I think you forgot about the eighties,what do you think?
midnight alone at the helm sailing down the Anegada Passage listening to this, one of my most favorite memories ever!💜
I was born in the 70s. I remember my step dad wearing a Boz Scaggs T-shirt. That's how I found this awesome artist.
This type of music never gets too old!!! Rock on brothers/sisters!!!!!
What gendre is it? Its amazing
YOUR TAG says it all ...this whole album was HOT S#@T in the 70s...
You got that right!❤
They just don't make music like this anymore. I'm 70 now and cannot stop listening to it.
@@acoustic5738 They call it Yacht Rock (!) these days.
This song has such a great groove.
The drummer is working that high hat.
Jeff Porcaro is the drummer. Formerly with the band Toto. His work with the sticks is legendary. Look him up.✌
@@terencem8795 Porcaro was an F'n Beast and oddly enough most of TOTO played on this record behind Boz!
I used to practice the drum part. drove me crazy trying to get the hi-hats right. ..... until I listened on headphones and realized that the hats weren't done on one take and are doubled on the recording
The late Jeff Porcaro on drums. Simply the best.
The Groove Master
#RIP Jeff Porcaro
🗣️Whooooooooo,I wonder wonder wonder wonder whoooooooo🤌🏾🔥🔥🥰
This is a masterpiece! Never get tired of listening! 😂😊
First heard this back in 1976 when it first came out. I was leaving the airport headed to my grandparents house and this was playing on the radio in the car while riding down the highway . Such a groovy tune. It made me happy. Good memories. Miss the 70s.
this song was on the Uncle Ben rice commercial
Feel you man. Got my first taste of pussy to this song. Great times.
WHAT UP? I miss the 70s too
I was born in the mid-80s but I miss the 70s, too. I grew up watching films and listening to music from different decades, and the 60s, 70s and 80s are my favourite decades. Strange that I feel nostalgic about things I did not experience.
I always get a bittersweet feeling when someone who experienced the 70s relates their stories. I got the same feeling reading yours.
Heard Steely Dan's Ricky don't lose that number. At a festival. Too stoned to speak about it now. Love you all.
In 1976 I was eleven years old and I dug this song , 2019 now(54) still dig this song😀can ya dig it? I knew that you could 😎
gregory hudson LOVE this comment. 👍 I was nine lol
Katerina Kiaha I’m willing to bet your extra cool too, then and now🤗
Today's my 54th birthday, Gregory (Sept. 2)...and I am listening to this on our in-house sound system, all through the house...and I feel like I am boogie-ing down the hall in 7th grade all over again....yes ma'am......
Lynne Ralston Happy bornday 😎
Keep rockin😀
In 1976 i was 21. This song takes me back.......👍😊
Been listening to this for decades; I had no idea this was a white guy. This song has always been a toe tapper.
Jeff Porcaro's drum part is fantastic on this song! He had an amazing pocket and was only 22 years old at the time. RIP
Was there ever a better time for so much meaningful music! Was there when it was new, am still listening in 2024! Who's with me?????
I’m with you baby, class of 76!
Me!
I am Elaine! No shit sherlock!
💫✨ FM radio 📻 punctuating this sound; beautiful! 🤩 💫✨
Can't believe that music has got so bad now.Just love this song and the whole album is a joy to listen to
Soul has no color barrier, neither does funk--music is a universal sound that ties us all together
Amen
Ain't that right, brotha!
"Soul has no color barrier, neither does funk--music is a universal sound that ties us all together"...I agree!
Very well said 👍
You just made it a color barrier by saying it's not. If something doesn't exist, then why mention it?
This came out in the summer of my last year in High School. I listened to this, Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Eagles, etc. This was one I played alone. Thank you Boz Scaggs
Running down Market Street past Castro. Cruising over to Mission trying to get that baby boy to go to sleep. Thanks Boz😊
Jeff Porcaro's drumming is so so rythmic and smooth. Just makes you groove. Miss you Jeff!! One of the greats!!
He sure had a way with those sticks in his hand.✌
Damn right! His Toto partner Steve Lukather summed up best: There were a lot of guys who played faster or with more chops, but there is no living soul alive who played a groove like him. When you think of drums, a lot of people think of technique, but really, drums are a rhythm instrument, and the basis of all music is the rhythm. And the basis of all grooves is the drums. I could play just straight 8th notes, and he could play something and it would make me sound Godlike. It's all finesse. It's that little extra something. You either have it or you don't. He was touched by God when he was born.
@@IronMan-tk8uc well said. The best thing a drummer can do is make the guys around him sound good. Porcaro was so good at that.
@@TheDrummer51 And that was Jeff's trademark!
so sweet
It’s 2020 and still listening to the greatest music ever.
There you go 🤙
Joseph Basinger come on now I was going to say that same thing 💖💖💖
Music like this never ages !
Same. Never gets old!
greatest choon ever?
The neighbor behind me plays country music, loud. This is for him.
I.am.71.love.hits.of.the.70s.80s.australia❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jeff Pocaro's drumming and beats are still knocking my heart.What a great drummer he was .I miss him.
coooool porcaro ^^
I agree, I think this song is THE greatest, most grooving drum part ever. And the hi-hat overdub is so clever.
Same here. I loved Boz & Jeff. 💛
😎😎😎
Damn straight. No Pocaro no Lowdown
STILL GROOVING TO THIS IN 2020
Dee Jay Backspin it’s part of the groove of life

2024 miss all the great music in my generation
thats on you mate
My neighbors hear this, too!!
Sharing is just the right thing!!!!!!
And they want to hear more!!!!!
Had the opportunity to see Boz in concert this past weekend. At 78 his voice is still as clear and unique as it was the day “Lowdown” was released, which is unusual in older rockers. He’s a wealthy man and tours just because he likes to and doesn’t need to and it’s clear in his show he’s having fun. And his current band is talented and tight too. They play every note perfectly, on time, with a drummer AND a separate percussionist with bongos, two keyboardists, one who also plays the woodwinds, a funky bass player who doesn’t miss a beat on “Lowdown” and another fellow guitarist who looks like he’s been playing with Boz for quite some time. And of course Boz can still run off a good riff on his axe too! If you get the chance, go see his show - you won’t regret it and he’ll have the crowd dancing in the aisles!
I went to a lot of concerts in the 70's and 80's. Artist's I missed out on were Steely Dan, Toto, The Allman Brothers, Little Feat and of course Boz Scaggs.
I wish I had a time machine-lol
Ultimate cool , makes you feel the groove❤️
He was nicknamed 'Bosley' by his schoolmates, and he turned it into 'Boz.'. Smart move!
@@alcambrola2834 Well, Boz is still out there, as is Earth, Wind, and Fire (3 71-year old original members), Santana, America, and the Doobie Brothers (they still sound great!). Catch them while you can - they won't last forever!
He's still alive??? I thought he passed??
For those wondering, the other musicians are guitarists Fred Tackett and Louie Shelton; bassist David Hungate; drummer Jeff Porcaro; keyboardist David Paich; horn players Bud Shank, Chuck Findley, Dick Hyde, Jim Horn, Paul Hubinon, Plas Johnson, Tom Scott, and Vincent DeRosa; and conductor Sidney Sharp.
For some reason, I was thinking that Les Dudek played on this...don't remember why I thought that.
Jerry McCoy Probably because both Dudek and Scaggs were members of the Steve Miller Band.
hey you know too!!!!!!!!!!!! and what about Steely and Steve Miller?....but i hear yah!!!!!
Can't believe I'm hearing the name "Les Dudek", it's been awhile.
half of Toto!
Y’all still groovin to this jam with me in 2024?? Damn, Boz, bad bad bad ❤️🔥
I am here in the year 2024❤❤❤❤
Hope your having a great day
Me too!!
Same here
Me also one of my aunt's favorite song
Me too.
Boz.....immediately takes me back to riding in the car with the window down.
Yup in my 68 R/T Coronet.....440 Magnum.....tearin' it up... back then....still own the car, and still tearin' it up!!
Ok u got me crusin in park 1978 smokin afatty. Good times
So true freedom times , we were soo lucky hey !!
Yuppir
.....and no seat belts...lol
What a bassline.The best ever.
It's hard to pick my favorite from all the gems on Silk Degrees. But I'd have to say this one is, mostly due to the bassline. David Hungate lays down a hell of a groove.
Great groove great keyboards its all excellent!
Unbelievable, how kool it is
It's the bass slap nobody slaps like that
🎶🎸🎹👏👍. . .
This music crosses all kinds of barriers. It brings people together. How can you not start moving some part of your body when you hear it? The old music is the best.
Never knew how good I had it back then. Absolute classic. My kingdom for a time machine.
💯❤
This is what ya listen to when you feel a hint of swagger and don't have a care in the world. Great tune, thank you.
Dirty Harry's "altar ego"...?
Truly one of the greatest songs ever. Has a great steely Dan vibe, great arrangements, smooth patina, what a voice- just perfection.
Ditto. So sweet. Good to read reviews from years past & right up til today March 2023. Boz will be appreciated for years yet to come!
This blew the pants off any of the blue-eyed soul songs of the Righteous Brothers. Nice mix of soul and jazz vibes.
@@steveparker6259
Blue the pants off of anybody.
😢yup look up his biz. Great
Steely Dan covering this! THAT would must be must-listening.
This album came out while I was in college. I instantly loved it. It’s now 2023 and I play one his songs nearly every day. His music stands the test of time. He is that good.
This was 1976, I was 9yrs old. That's the late Jeff Porcaro on drums - RIP & string-poppin' bassist Dave Hungate in the pocket on this nasty, greasy lowdown groove! The song was co-written by Scaggs and keyboardist David Paich. In 1977 Paich, Hungate and Porcaro formed the band Toto. Now ya know!
This should go in a time vault for any future human or alien race of beings who come to earth thousands of years from now and want to understand what kicked around in our souls in this time. An untouchable classic. A slice of buttered toast hot out of the toaster.
Yes indeed
👍❤️
The buttered toast reference reminded me of my first concert, Jethro Tull and Foghat opened. Wonder'ing Aloud of the Aqualung album. Read the lyrics. Very nice buttered toast. Wink wink, haha
All the musicians on this cut are the finest in the world. Pure quality.
Tell 'em hahaha
Whoever he hired to replace Jeff can't hold a candle to him.
yeeeeeesssssss
The flute is kickin @sickleshapedlife
Indeed
I got this and 8 other 8-track tapes from Colombia records in 1977 for ten cents. Never bought another record from them. I hope the statute of limitations has run up.
Ha ha!
One of the most beautiful songs ever made... Like Steely Dan's music! This song reminds me of their unforgettable music!
And me love steely dan .it 's great
