Listen to the backup singers throughout JoJo - they make this song special. Boz is great, but the girls make him even better. Listen at 1:03 and from 1:43; you'll never hear any musical instrument make prettier sounds than these two girls. Love it . . . . .
Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, YES, EL&P, Jethro Tull, Genesis, Santana, Chicago, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return To Forever, Earth Wind & Fire, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Elton John...and...,Boz Scaggs. A typical "rotation" for me during the 1970s! Rock on, Boz!!
This song sounds so fresh today...it's 28 years old!!!! Just amazing!!! C'mon North American pop adult radio - you should be playing the hell out this track in your gold category!!!!! Slick, cool and relevant. Boz Scaggs never grows old.
+James Collins This comment is 11 years old, so I really don't expect a reply at this point. A kid who was born when this comment was made, will be a teenger in like two years. Crazy. Anyway, just thought I'd come in to say, this song is now 40 years old.
2023 now, I had all of Boz's work on albums, then cds and now on but electronics as mp4s. Thanks Boz love the music it's part of the sound track to my life.
The Boz still has it: the wonderful marriage of great musicians; awesome arrangements and sound mixing; superb backup singers and his sexy, smokey-Boz vocal chops that can reduce you to a puddle! Been a Boz fan for 4 decades and at 60 years old and on the down-hill superslide to social security, I still have a jones for him! Taking my oldest daughter to see him in concert on June 17th and she can't wait to rock out with Mama!!!
I live for this. The ladies are fantastic! THE musicians are SUPERB..AND,of course there's BOZ. My mom loved "Dirty LowDown" back in 76..when I was just a little lass. As a young adult, I fell in love with 'Jo Jo' AND "Love Look What You've Done to Me"..especially this live performance. It's just beautiful
The studio musicians whom helped record the Silk Degrees album banded together after the recording session and created Toto. Boz has such a killer groove!
How could 4 people dislike this? It's a perfect performance of this always hip song, and better than the album cut. Boz is as cool and soulfully mellow as ever (what a voice), the arrangement is great, and it's got some really hot tenor sax playing by Charles McNeal, a great musician and one of the nicest cats around.
Love this! Music like this is just not created anymore! The pure talent❤ Boz can lead, have great back up singers, and whip right back around and back up his back ups! They play off each other superbly ❤He’s the man! Sierra is my fav Boz song but this one is so jazzy! Love it too. Can I just pretend once that I’m a singer and be a back up for Boz!? Be cool just once! I’ll just lipsink! Lol
Bozz Scaggs had me hooked on his music and voice in the 70’s when I first Heard Lowdown. Then JoJo. I’ve been his forever fan. No one plays his unique music or voice. I’m sorry he suffered the loss of Oscar. I’ll be listening to Boz until my demise. Thank you Boz for the pleasure of enjoying you. Thru my good, bad, low, Happy, moments I spent listening to you. Sharing my feelings thru your talented work.
Its late and I'm enjoying a rare opportunity to spend time with my husband, whose usually Protecting and Serving our City. Tonite it's just the three of us..Thank you Mr Scaggs for being a part of a memorable evening.😎
This band kicked butt on this song that year. All the other bands that he had were awesome. This drummer is FANTASTIC. Nice technique. I love the drag rolls. Great job. Nice stuff. I really enjoy listening to what the bass player is doing. He is playing some great stuff.
I;ve been a fan for decades. Just saw him live a week or so ago in Burlington VT and he is as fabulous as ever! Everything he had beck then... he's still got. ; )
Recently purchased this concert on cd and can't stop playing it. Absolutely brilliant, sound quality is sooo good, wish I'd been in the audience, what a privilege!!
A lifetime of Boz and his peers - I often wonder what'll happen when these wonderful, wholly original music folk are gone... for nobody can ever replace them, that generation. Ever. Thanks, Boz, from a distant corner of India - you're truly a Great.
Just like I was exposed to al music by my parents and family; then exposed my children to all the music I knew, and then my grandchildren know music from me to now, that's how we do. Music will live on forever. Never doubt.
This is the friggin best there is ,i had to listen to it three times in a row and I'm going to buy the cd. This is 10/28/2023 i got the tape i play it driving, shooting pool and relaxing in my easy chair.I love the fifty dollar part.
Saw him (with Miss Monet) in Georgia this past July---still has it, still shows it, and the audience offering three curtain calls---still knows it! Great entertainment---consumate musician and entertainer... still has the pipes too!
one word perfection man you can hear every instrument on Boz's videos here the vocals are impecably flawless see what wonderful muscians and vocalists can give you on stage im envious of anyone who have seen this ensemble perform live
Good God I love this song!! On repeat in my car for 2-4 days straight and whoever rides with me knows the lyrics (even if they dont know of Boz Scaggs) lol.. Such a freakin classic!! Yes boy!! Gone ahead and do it right!
I remember my 20's... Great music, great performer, song writer and arranger! Thanks Bozz for your music, you did a very good job! I grew up in South America listening and having a lot of fun with your songs! Yo recuerdo mis 20's... Estupenda musica, tremendo cantante, compositor y arreglista. Gracias Bozz por tu musica, hiciste un trabajo espectacular! Yo creci en Suramerica escuchando y disfrutando tus canciones!
Its sad when you see the 'DISLIKE" numbers posted on tracks like this, but then on the other hand im thankfull i was blessed with music in my heart and soul and am a player myself that plays the music i love and come up on like Boz, Earth Wind and Fire, Chicago, Sly Stone ect ect... @ mdbrazillian 3 people born not only without ears but also without soul brutha! Peace.
The "Middle Man" is great, and JoJo is a great opening track. I recently pulled out of my vast cd catalog collection to give it some play and it is simply magical.

I believe he was born in Ohio, but grew up in Texas. Seems he's always had good backup singers and musicians throughout his career, but I agree these two girls are exceptional. Boz knows how it's done right.
What is 2004 music lovers know nothing about it’s the 70s the greatest time of music and this man is at the top
Listen to the backup singers throughout JoJo - they make this song special. Boz is great, but the girls make him even better. Listen at 1:03 and from 1:43; you'll never hear any musical instrument make prettier sounds than these two girls. Love it . . . . .
Agree♥️🎼💃🏾
They're amazing.
Yep, for sure!
This a song to put your headphones on. Kick it and enjoy. Everything just works!
Couldn't agree more! Those ladies are so smooth and oh so gorgeous, cool, and relaxing voice they make!
I have listened to Boz since I was 12. I am 43 now and still thinks he rules! Best damn music to make ya feel good. Great driving music
When I was in my 20s in 5he 70s saw him 3 times. He gets better and better🎉
Back in the 70s, this was the jam!!! Errybody was jamming on this song, white, Black, Mexican, we had it going on on!!!!
💯👍🏻
This song was released in 1980.

You got that Right!! Each One Is supremely enjoyable 💃🏻🕺🏻♑♋💞🍷🍷
I saw Boz in 1976 at the ‘Greek Theater’ in LA. He blew the house down! First class musicians! Love him!
This is REAL music
The whole band just clicks so damm clean
OMG is this a GREAT performance. Boz is incredible! Thanks for sharing. Smooth as silk. Now for some Steely Dan!

So refreshing to see REAL musicians at work. Excellent timing. The back-up singers - totally awesome. Simply beautiful.
Look just like nick Saban if you ask me

Late 70s, Boz at Paramount Theater in Oakland New Years Eve..over 40 years later..thank you Boz..
Absolutely beautiful!! Long live Boz Scaggs!
Just saw him live in NJ two months ago.Brought down the house at 79 y.o. the king of cool.

Man oh man, is he still got it! Wife and I just caught him at Stillwater (MN) Lumberjack days. Fab player and singer, and a great band...

Most of the musicians of my era have passed or they are 80+ years old. We all are hanging in there.
Outstanding backing vocals, the choreography mix whit the voices like magic.
2022 and LIfe goes on and Boz still delivers into the new World we now live in! AMEN
Boz has also had some excellent background vocalists over the years
to complement songs and give them a classy touch.

一人暮らし学生の頃に友人と酒を酌み交わしながらカセットテープからの音源で聴いていました
懐かしい本当に良い楽曲です
The "Middle Man" is great, and JoJo is a great opening track. I recently pulled out of my vast cd catalog collection to give it some play and it is simply magical.
Didn't know Forrest Whitaker could play sax at all, let alone so well! ^_^ Awesome band for Legend Boz Scaggs!!

RIP Sharon Thanks for the info. The best musical lineup/backup!
still sounds fantastic and he is in his early sixties
A very very fine performance from all concerned in my humble opinion, and I think Jeff would have smiled (R.I.P.). Thank you!!!
I don't think it was Jeff playing on the original track but the equally great Carlos Vega.
Amazing, that voice smooth as ever after all these years, Fabulous
Amazing powerfull song. It keeps me up every day. Love it.
Band is so tight. Absolutely top class.
The 70's and 80's music was Great...Boz and his band still sounds good
Thanks for posting this video.
Those back up singers are smooth like butter......mmmm..mmmm
Outstanding as usual, no one better, one of a kind.
Phenomenal..Boz is CLASS! Boz Scaggs..YOU are the ONE!
I cut my love for this style of jazz/blues non Boz in 1974, he is one of a kind!
I love the jojo song by Mr Boz Scagg hos somg is off the hook . The beat is awesome . And the drums and the sound is amazing 🎉🎉
Thanks for the posting this clip. My absolute favorite. Playing it over and over while I work at home. A classic. Nice!!
I believe he was born in Ohio, but grew up in Texas. Seems he's always had good backup singers and musicians throughout his career, but I agree these two girls are exceptional.
Boz knows how it's done right.
Sing it Boz Scaggs!!!
This sounds great! Thanks for posting! (Gotta love the sax solos)
Boz, Bringing The SF OLD School..Takes Me to a Better Time ..Thanks

Song for every occasion i suppose and hear this one going off in my head .
One only palabra:
FANTASTICO.
I was fine as wine back in this day!.
William Royce (Boz) Scaggs is tops since the mid-seventies. He stays current. Awesome musician all around.
