I saw it at the movie theater back when it came out. Haven't seen it since, but remember I really liked it. I'm going have to rewatch it sometime soon.
We had no idea as kids in the 70’s we were listening to absolute fire . It was just playing in the background and we just went about our day. Now I look back and appreciate it more.
Picture it. Warren, Ohio,1976. My sister just graduated from high school. Dad bought her a 1963 Ford Galaxie. She would load up the car with us younger kids and our friends and go out to the lake. This song plays on the AM radio. Until I met my wife many years later, it was probably the happiest moment of my life. This is my favorite song of all time. When my time comes to an end, I can guarantee that this song will be played at my funeral. Very loud.
Thank you guys, that was funny as hell. I graduated high school in 1975. It came out in "76. I love when I revisit songs that were part of my soundtrack and I appreciate for their greatness, now more than ever. This is one. I feel like you all do, young, bouncy, happy, listening to fire, cool, hearing every instrument, the bass. Art makes life so much better! Friggin' hot in here.
Boz Scaggs was so class that he showed up to personally deliver the first big royalty check of this album in person to the drummer (Jeff Porcaro). Homie drove to his house and hand-delivered their check out of gratitude. Boz is a good a person as he is a musician.
This is awesome and I can see it. If you watch "Boz Scaggs - Lowdown - Iroquois Ampitheater- Aug 11 2022" on here, he takes a good few minutes to personally reintroduce every person on stage by full name and the city their from, while looking right at each one individually. It's truly just great to see.
Jojo, Georgia, Harbour Lights, It’s Over, What Can I Say, and Breakdown Dead Ahead. And many more. The guy is so underrated these days. The whole Silk Degrees album is perfect.
As a 62-year-old, it's entertaining and heartwarming to watch these "kids" listen to this much-loved R&B masterpiece. Lowdown defined a time and that year in music (1976). One of the best from the '70s.
Im 62 also ,this number and silk degrees was such a hit in Holland in 76 ,i heard it and i let everything falling out of my hands ,i had to go to the record Shop immediately ,no time wasted !!
hey all, I'm 68 and a child of the 70's... nothing like Boz Scaggs, Daryl Hall, Jackson Brown, Chicago, Crosby Still Nash and Young and so much. I am privilege to have been part of a great time...continue listening to Boz Scaggs and you'll see that classic sound of the 70's...
You guys are cracking me up!!! I was 8 years old when this was released in 1976. I can still see my mother dancing to it back in the day when she was in her late 20's. This song was ever present. It is a masterpiece. I always thought this was a "black" group until I became an adult. Goes to show it doesn't matter how much melanin you have, soul is soul and the groove is the groove. Great reaction!
Boz Skaggs has so many awesome songs...I have loved him since the beginning...I am 66 and love his voice and a good horn section anytime!! He is one of my all time favs!!
"Barry White meets Steely Dan" I love that comparison! Easily one of the top songs of the time. I watch a lot of different reaction channels and enjoy all of them but in all honesty your videos are the ones I look forward to the most! You've said that y'all work many hours at your jobs but please, please make videos more often. Few things give me joy since 2020, sadly. Watching your videos gives me such joy and keeps a genuine smile on my face the entire time! Thank you for that. Perfect song. Perfect reactions. Much love Gentlemen❤️
@@valdane8371 More than ever I think Lowdown may be the greatest single (recording) of the rock era...or damn close I knew it was special back in 1976. Dat groove. The transitions in and out of the middle eight. Unbelievable. Songwriting, production, arrangements, musicianship. Vocal delivery. backup singers. It's got it all. The world is on fiyah!
Oh did he say Steely Dan. I guess that makes more sense. I thought he said Stewie from Family Guy. 😂🤣🤣🤣. Barry White meets Stewie? What does that even mean?
You three should see Boz perform with Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen in a group called Dukes of Sept. He performs Lowdown and gets a standing ovation. It is phenomenal. Well worth your time. You can thank me later! Love you guys!
I agree! Dukes of September is the best version of Low Down that there is. Donald Fagen brings that Steely Dan vibe and you can also hear MIchael McDonal's influence on the keys. A must watch!
If you want another jazz/funk/r&b fusion George Benson's 'Give me the Night' is great. And in the original video George is singing playing the guitar and skating all in one, with a broad grin on his face.
I attended Boz Scagg’s outdoor summer concert last year and he was AMAZING! His voice is still rich and strong. The crowd loved him. He kept returning for encore’s because we didn’t want him to leave. 😊❤
That was a jam in '76, when I first heard it -- my Dad, his fishing buddies, my sister and I were in the car on the way to their favorite spot in Wisconsin, and EVERYBODY in the car was into it! That was the CUT back in the day. STILL A JAM!
Enjoyed your reaction, Guys. I'm 73 at this point. So you can extrapolate my music era. A golden period which will never be duplicated. Silk Degrees is one of the greatest standards album wise of my youth. I will never tire of it. But listening to it now results in a reality jolt when comparing such peak quality with todays insulting music excuse landscape. Keep up the great work.
You ain't never lied! I'm 65 and you said it exactly...our GOLDEN AGE of music can never be duplicated! I just wish they would also pay attention to the words like we did!
Agreed. Aja by Steely Dan, Songs in the Key of Life by Stevie Wonder, I Am by Earth Wind and Fire along with Off the Wall by Michael Jackson fit right in there too
@@lorrainejohnson5461 You are so right...I am 66 from the San Francisco Bay area...can not tell you how many concerts I went to back in the day! My generation was blessed with all the music and musicians that came from my era...JUST WOW!
I'm 73 and remember being at a friends house for dinner and we listened to this album over and over. It was in the mountains of California. It was a great time with friends
Guys, I can't tell you how it warms my heart to see you digging this record we made almost 50 (?@?-WTF?) years ago. I commend you on your great taste!😅❤
Your next dive into the Boz HAS to be JoJo...another banger!! The entire Silk Degrees album is hit after hit! Thanks for letting us old heads turn you on to the BEST of the Best!
This was THE party record. Black parties, white parties, young folks, older folks, EVERYBODY loved this record. It was played on all the radio stations, and every now and then you'd have the "WTF? Boz Scaggs is WHITE??!!" conversation with someone. Good times.
You guys are killing me :) I’m genuinely laughing out loud by myself here. And you’re not wrong at all, this song is so damn smooth and they’re making it sound so easy. Love it, real good stuff guys.
So turns out I’m not just an old geezer when I say most of todays music isn’t even from the same planet as the quality and talent displayed in this song.
If I had a list of the Best Singles of the Rock era, Lowdown is #1 for me. Better than the Beatles, Elvis, Stones, The Who, Elton John. Everything came together: songwriting, production, musicianship, vocal performances, groove, engineering. It's absolute PERFECTION.
AWESOME REACTION! I was young back in those days and WOW what a time to be alive! Y’all absolutely have no idea what it was like back then. But man I love your reactions!
My husband had the opportunity to meet in on Lake Whitney in TX. Boz was alone on his boat and he wanted to ski. My husband made that possible by letting him ski behind our boat! Great days!
OK...first "It's like Barry White met Steeley Dan". I've heard this song since I was a kid and never been able to put it so well. Next...the general suspension of disbelief...the guys couldn't quite grasp how amazing this is on the first play. On the restart...now it's something you know is coming. Love it!!! Best reaction on YT!
It was1979, the summer before my Senior year in high school in Arizona, and I was cruising my parent's 1968 Chevy Impala 2 door coupe with a 327 V8, windows rolled down, my girl right next to me on the bench seat, and Boz Skaggs' "Lowdown" was blasting on the cassette tape player as we drove up and down main street on a Friday night!
Saw him live when this came out. He opened with this to a dark stage with a curtain drawn. Intro took a solid two minutes notes while they slowly raised the curtain to reveal the band on stage
Gentlemen - Great Reaction. For the rest of my days, whenever I hear Lowdown, I will remember "Barry White meets Steely Dan"!! Awesome work. It's weird. Back in the day, Billboard Magazine would publish it's top 100 songs by sales. Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Supertramp, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Moody Blues, Elton John, Billy Joel and all the other 70's bands were competing against each other. It was a great time to be alive. Thank you for recognizing the great music of the past. Ken
The whole "Silk Degrees" album is great. Remember when it came out in 1976. It has a bluesy sound to it. Two of the 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".
If they gave out awards for best reaction video, I would nominate this one !!😁😆😅🤣😂P.S. " The Dirty Lowdown " the perfect phrase to build a song around !!
Qué hermosa sonrisa tiene el chico de gorra azul y t-shirt negra de la derecha del video! Wowww! Hugs ( and kisses)for him...from URUGUAY! This song like me so much too..haha!
The amazing righteous groove Jeff Porcaro and David Hungate laid down. You can't keep up with these Joneses! Porcaro, Hungate and David Paich who played keyboards and co-wrote Lowdown formed Toto.
I don't know what's more mind-blowing ; the fact that I heard this in the car on my way home from work roughly around the same time of this upload, or the fact that you guys are run a great channel, and decided to react to this gem from the 70s.
They need to have a way to like a video multiple times, lol. I can't stop watching this video, it brings me so much joy. Thank you for your love and enthusiasm for music! ❤️
Boz Skaggs is very legendary songwriter/guitarist. Started the rock band Toto and many others. You guys are gonna like this song because it is sooooo soulful and cool 😎. Definitely a Playlist for you guys. This song makes today's music sound "plain" and boring. Enjoy!
Have you any idea how many times I've watched this? Once a week or more! You guys crack me up! Plus i love love love this song. Gets me in my soul mind bones and heart!😹😸😸😸😼😺😻😻😻❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
This guy is AWESOME. AL STEWART and BOZ SCAGGS have been my two favorite artists for many, many years. It is SO GREAT to see young people digging on this GREAT MUSIC. Please keep playing these GREAT ARTISTS.
When I saw that come up, I dropped everything to see what you three made of it,have to say I was not disappointed! Stank faces and getting into the groove all around👍
I just absolutely love luv lurve your reaction to this classic! Your appreciation, yo stank faces, your humour, draws me back over and over to this reaction! I agree with you 100% - Give him another award!🥰💜💜💜
I love you guys so much, ❤ so clever, sweet and funny. And your love of timeless classics warms my heart, every day. Please let me be your pseudo grandma from Oz 🇦🇺
Had this album when it first came out and loved it. Boz Skaggs, Michael McDonald, and Donald Fagan (from Steely Dan) performed together on tour as The Dukes of September. They were great together!
One the Official Anthems of the Classic '70s and '80s Fern Bars. FERN BARS were gathering places for well-dressed "upscale" young men and women, initially during the sexual revolution of the 1970s and later the "yuppie" era of the 1980s. Fern bars were frequently talked of disparagingly as singles bars where individuals would go to hit on men or women for sexual hookups. This image was common in the 1980s despite the fact that many people attended these bars for after-work occasions, parties or in groups. Typical drinks served included wine spritzers, lemon drop martinis, frozen daiquirís, Harvey Wallbangers, pitchers of sangrias and piña coladas. Franchises sometimes labeled "fern bars" include T.G.I. Friday's, Bennigan's, and Houlihan's.
Guys, guys, guys~ this was so much fun to watch y'all vibe out on this. It's much like what hooked me with your reaction to Al Stewart~Year of the Cat! Looking at each of your faces with the happiness, the joy, the glee, those smiles, made me happy too! Totally dig this 👍 ❤ Happy 2023!
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. My Grandparent's played Traditional Slavic music as musicians, which is very unique sounds so I was prepped since birth. My Parents were from the Big Band (and opera) and 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 music of the 1980s and had to wait until the 1990s music to enjoy the sounds, rhythm, and atmosphere again.
Yes, the movie was actually called "Looking for Mr. Goodbar". That was an autocorrect done by my phone 🙃
I saw it at the movie theater back when it came out. Haven't seen it since, but remember I really liked it. I'm going have to rewatch it sometime soon.
@@donnakubiski5572 I saw it too, Diane Keaton and Richard Gere, great movie!
Looking for Mr Goodbar was a good movie with Richard Gere and Diane Keaton.
I despise auto correct!
Go watch one of his bands small venue ...here on YT or live.. 🤗🎵🎶🎵💯💕
“Barry White meets Steely Dan” is the underrated comment of all time. 😂
Yes, it sums it up completely!
These dudes all played on Steely Dan albums.
I have got to remember THIS brilliant description!!! 🌟💕🎤🥁🎻🪕🎸🎺🎷🎹🎇🎆🧨
Perfect description
I'm always jealous of younger dudes like this when they discover amazing music like this from my youth. Love the reactions!!
We had no idea as kids in the 70’s we were listening to absolute fire . It was just playing in the background and we just went about our day. Now I look back and appreciate it more.
So true! I took for granted how great music was when I was growing up.
Exactly!!!!
Yes, we did, i Always knew we had the best music ever
Yep, I was born in 67 so I kind of took 70s music for granted. It is so much better the the crap people listen to today.
Facts
I’m 60 and I am taking so much delight in watching virgins ears get a rush….from the first time listening to the classics I grew up on!❤
I’m 54, and even though I watched my kids fall in love with all this stuff, I get a big kick outta watching these young people hear real music!
It's not just the virgin ears but they're listening together - a thing that really skipped a generation.
72 and watch a ton o these younguns gettin a taste of what we grew up on. Oh we had it so good,
I know, right! They’re finding Karen Carpenter, Queen and now Boz… I mean all of them not just this trio…
Oh guys there’s something wrong with the audio mix. I can’t hear you guys. I had to go to my iPad.
"Barry White meets Steely Dan" is the best description of this song that I have ever heard.
SPOT ON !
Barry & Steely Dan !
I would say Curtis Mayfield before Barry White.
I absolutely nodded and said. "Yeah, he's right!" Good observation.
The 70’s When singers actually Sang and players actually Played!! Greatest decade of music ever🤘🤘🤘
No auto tune and songs were done and redone until a few takes. Great job 👍
Most self taught too! The 70’s has my heart and soul
Monster grove from back in the day, lol look at their heads just bobbin, just like we used to do.
ABSOLUTELY !
Now to be fair…..
The 60’s. 70’s. 80’s and a little, very little bit of the 90’s had some GREAT SONGS !
BUT THE 70’s…..
NOTHIN’ LIKE IT !
Agreed 100%! All the other decades had a few bangers but the seventies was full of them.
I’m back for like the 100th time. You guys reacting to Boz is my ‘go-to-feel-good’ song.
You guys crack me up -- seeing y' all enjoying music from our generation. 🙂
"Lowdown" is a masterpiece of musicianship.
Hands down, one of the best songs ever made.
Indeed
The first breakthrough on a *Black Award* .You know this song has something going. 🎵🎶🎵
Picture it. Warren, Ohio,1976. My sister just graduated from high school. Dad bought her a 1963 Ford Galaxie. She would load up the car with us younger kids and our friends and go out to the lake. This song plays on the AM radio. Until I met my wife many years later, it was probably the happiest moment of my life. This is my favorite song of all time. When my time comes to an end, I can guarantee that this song will be played at my funeral. Very loud.
Thank you guys, that was funny as hell. I graduated high school in 1975. It came out in "76. I love when I revisit songs that were part of my soundtrack and I appreciate for their greatness, now more than ever. This is one. I feel like you all do, young, bouncy, happy, listening to fire, cool, hearing every instrument, the bass. Art makes life so much better! Friggin' hot in here.
The hypnotic mastery of Jeff Porcaro on drums. RIP
That shuffley groove. He outdid Bernard Purdie here!
This groove is what happens when the bass guitar and the drummer are on the same page
@@FUBAR1986 Hell, they were on the same entire book! lol
And add paich wow
Jeff Pacaro ain't the only member of Toto on this cut, David Hungate was killing it on bass.
Boz Scaggs was so class that he showed up to personally deliver the first big royalty check of this album in person to the drummer (Jeff Porcaro). Homie drove to his house and hand-delivered their check out of gratitude. Boz is a good a person as he is a musician.
This is awesome and I can see it. If you watch "Boz Scaggs - Lowdown - Iroquois Ampitheater- Aug 11 2022" on here, he takes a good few minutes to personally reintroduce every person on stage by full name and the city their from, while looking right at each one individually. It's truly just great to see.
As much as the lead matters, if you aren't appreciative and thankful for those around you, you will never be successful.
Lido Shuffle - and this was a joy watching you guys experience Boz for the first time
Yes, Lido!
My favorite of Boz’s.
I don’t know, the radio overplay was nauseating. I still can’t. I put Lido in with Seasons in the Sun and Sir Duke. Criminal pablum.

Jojo, Georgia, Harbour Lights, It’s Over, What Can I Say, and Breakdown Dead Ahead. And many more. The guy is so underrated these days. The whole Silk Degrees album is perfect.
Harbour Lights is one of my favorites. Saw him in concert and he sounds just as good live.
Lido.
I concur and like Robyn mentioned, don’t forget “Lido” 🤘😎✌️
What’s that tune that’s in Urban Cowboy? I was dating age when that came out. Really great memories 😎
Yes Harbor Light's live
Why I’m watching this everyday. Love it
As a 62-year-old, it's entertaining and heartwarming to watch these "kids" listen to this much-loved R&B masterpiece. Lowdown defined a time and that year in music (1976). One of the best from the '70s.
Im 62 also ,this number and silk degrees was such a hit in Holland in 76 ,i heard it and i let everything falling out of my hands ,i had to go to the record Shop immediately ,no time wasted !!
Right! I’m here too! ✋
I'm seeing a lot of head-bobbing amongst the reviewers here...
hey all, I'm 68 and a child of the 70's... nothing like Boz Scaggs, Daryl Hall, Jackson Brown, Chicago, Crosby Still Nash and Young and so much. I am privilege to have been part of a great time...continue listening to Boz Scaggs and you'll see that classic sound of the 70's...

That bass!
Astounding!
Absolutely!
@@andrewpetik2034 David Hungate. Masterful. In sync-lock with Porcaro's drums.
Definitely! 👏💯👏

Needed this Nov 2024. ❤
This entire album "Silk Degrees", is a front-to-back classic. Great on a straight-through listen.

You three should see Boz perform with Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen in a group called Dukes of Sept. He performs Lowdown and gets a standing ovation. It is phenomenal. Well worth your time. You can thank me later! Love you guys!
I second this. Should definitely check out the Dukes of September, specifically "Miss Sun" where Boz displays his guitar skills
@@1KING7AW Miss Sun is en fuego!
YES!
They were TREMENDOUS together, especially on Pretzel Logic. Great comment.
I agree! Dukes of September is the best version of Low Down that there is. Donald Fagen brings that Steely Dan vibe and you can also hear MIchael McDonal's influence on the keys. A must watch!
Boz was smooth, man. The 70's! Everything on this record is real- drums, strings, bass, vocals. That groove comes from real musicians.
very high production values too… everything had to be just right
If you want another jazz/funk/r&b fusion George Benson's 'Give me the Night' is great. And in the original video George is singing playing the guitar and skating all in one, with a broad grin on his face.
Yes love that song also
Straight up classic.
George Benson is amazing on give me the night ! Guitar !!!
Even as a lesbian in my 60's, I will FOREVER have a crush on George Benson and 'Give Me The Night'!
When I need a smile, I always come back to SOME reaction of yours. Today it’s Boz :)

Right? :D
You guys are absolutely right when you say "they don't make music like they used to." This song is definitely proof of that!
Boz Scaggs is a vibe! Check out "Look What You've Done To Me." Great song. And gotta say, your reactions are so much fun, love to watch!
Yes!
AWESOME REACTION! I was young back in those days and WOW what a time to be alive! Y’all absolutely have no idea what it was like back then. But man I love your reactions!
I was in high school when this dropped. We DANCED to it. Group moves, like the Hustle. It was hypnotic to move to. ❤💯
My husband had the opportunity to meet in on Lake Whitney in TX. Boz was alone on his boat and he wanted to ski. My husband made that possible by letting him ski behind our boat! Great days!
I just love it when all you three are groovin' in sync!!!!! The whole album is just as good as this one.
Can you imagine living in a time when this song came out in the same year as The Year Of The Cat ??????
Yes, we lived it!

What an album this is.
Played to death by me back in the late 70’s.

It was1979, the summer before my Senior year in high school in Arizona, and I was cruising my parent's 1968 Chevy Impala 2 door coupe with a 327 V8, windows rolled down, my girl right next to me on the bench seat, and Boz Skaggs' "Lowdown" was blasting on the cassette tape player as we drove up and down main street on a Friday night!
Oh, I'm so GLAD to see someone who hasn't heard this song!!!! It IS fire!!!
Saw him live when this came out. He opened with this to a dark stage with a curtain drawn. Intro took a solid two minutes notes while they slowly raised the curtain to reveal the band on stage
The guy in the middles laugh is infectious. You guys have great chemistry
Great Reaction Y'all! Fun Fact: Saw Boz last year in concert. At age 79, he can still hit those high notes. #Legend
Boz is still out there, doing his thing for the people. He’s great.
This reaction is fire. I have literally watched it several times. Ryan's reaction just kills me. Awesome.
I never get tired of this song its so friggin good. Great reaction guys!
Yes!2😅
💯🎯✅
Gentlemen - Great Reaction. For the rest of my days, whenever I hear Lowdown, I will remember "Barry White meets Steely Dan"!! Awesome work. It's weird. Back in the day, Billboard Magazine would publish it's top 100 songs by sales. Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Supertramp, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Moody Blues, Elton John, Billy Joel and all the other 70's bands were competing against each other. It was a great time to be alive.
Thank you for recognizing the great music of the past.

Wow, I used to get sick of this song on the radio all the time in the 70's. Love it again, tnanks!
The whole "Silk Degrees" album is great. Remember when it came out in 1976. It has a bluesy sound to it. Two of the 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".
I wore this out on vinyl about 3 times!
Harbor Lights is a real hidden gem on that one.
"Love Me Tomorrow", is another great song on this Album!
"It's like Barry White meets Steely Dan." A more apt description for this track has never and will never be said. BRILLIANT!!
These are the best reactions when you have never heard the tune before! There is lots of unexplored music from the 70's!
Back for the 10th time, these guys reacted the best I've ever seen to the music I listen to all the time
If they gave out awards for best reaction video, I would nominate this one !!😁😆😅🤣😂P.S. " The Dirty Lowdown " the perfect phrase to build a song around !!
I agree that this is one of their best reactions. Also their reaction to Green Earrings by Steely Dan is up there too. I love their channel!!!
Qué hermosa sonrisa tiene el chico de gorra azul y t-shirt negra de la derecha del video!
Wowww!
Hugs ( and kisses)for him...from URUGUAY!
This song like me so much too..haha!
The amazing righteous groove Jeff Porcaro and David Hungate laid down. You can't keep up with these Joneses! Porcaro, Hungate and David Paich who played keyboards and co-wrote Lowdown formed Toto.
Isn't this just perfection in production, artistry, and talent???!!! It doesn't get any better than this!
I love your reaction, all three of you. This is a great song. We used to have the best music when growing up! I'm 65, I'm just saying!
I don't know what's more mind-blowing ; the fact that I heard this in the car on my way home from work roughly around the same time of this upload, or the fact that you guys are run a great channel, and decided to react to this gem from the 70s.
They need to have a way to like a video multiple times, lol. I can't stop watching this video, it brings me so much joy. Thank you for your love and enthusiasm for music! ❤️
I been listening to this song 35 years and keep it in heavy rotation to this day. It’s a timeless banger.
Boz Skaggs is very legendary songwriter/guitarist. Started the rock band Toto and many others. You guys are gonna like this song because it is sooooo soulful and cool 😎. Definitely a Playlist for you guys. This song makes today's music sound "plain" and boring. Enjoy!
Stank faces!! First 30 seconds..lol. Great song and reaction. Thanks guys ❤
Ryan: If his voice is great, I'm going crazy.
Me: _waits knowingly_ 😂
Great song, great reaction! ✌
I was thinking “you just do not KNOW!” When he said that LOL

So did I, knew they would love it!
So fun to watch you guys dig on the music I grew up listening to in the 70's. I always thought this tune was a mix of disco, jazz, and rock sounds.

I love you guys so much, ❤ so clever, sweet and funny. And your love of timeless classics warms my heart, every day. Please let me be your pseudo grandma from Oz 🇦🇺
Had this album when it first came out and loved it. Boz Skaggs, Michael McDonald, and Donald Fagan (from Steely Dan) performed together on tour as The Dukes of September. They were great together!
This is my favorite reaction on any channel. Period.☄️💥🔥
You can find videos of Boz with his band playing live on YT.. The band and his back-up singers are TIGHT!!
Thank you so much, really needed to feel good again 😊
Shut the front door!! Barry White meets Steely Dan---Perfect description!!
One the Official Anthems of the Classic '70s and '80s Fern Bars.
FERN BARS were gathering places for well-dressed "upscale" young men and women, initially during the sexual revolution of the 1970s and later the "yuppie" era of the 1980s. Fern bars were frequently talked of disparagingly as singles bars where individuals would go to hit on men or women for sexual hookups. This image was common in the 1980s despite the fact that many people attended these bars for after-work occasions, parties or in groups. Typical drinks served included wine spritzers, lemon drop martinis, frozen daiquirís, Harvey Wallbangers, pitchers of sangrias and piña coladas. Franchises sometimes labeled "fern bars" include T.G.I. Friday's, Bennigan's, and Houlihan's.
Guys, guys, guys~ this was so much fun to watch y'all vibe out on this. It's much like what hooked me with your reaction to Al Stewart~Year of the Cat! Looking at each of your faces with the happiness, the joy, the glee, those smiles, made me happy too! Totally dig this 👍 ❤ Happy 2023!
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. My Grandparent's played Traditional Slavic music as musicians, which is very unique sounds so I was prepped since birth. My Parents were from the Big Band (and opera) and 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 music of the 1980s and had to wait until the 1990s music to enjoy the sounds, rhythm, and atmosphere again.
This song is a classic,loved it in the 70s and still love it today,
