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.
Most of the youngsters haven’t even scratched the surface on tunes from those years. Hope they keep digging. We were lucky enough to have it all these years. 😎😎
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.
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.
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.
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...
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 !!
Little known fact: The producers of Saturday Night Fever wanted to put this song in the soundtrack. Scaggs' agent said it'd ruin his career because the movie would bomb. Needless to say, Boz regretted listening to his agent. This song was a PERFECT description of Tony Manero! (John Travolta's character) This is my favorite 70's song, and that's saying something...because that entire decade of music was FIRE! 🔥 Loved watching y'all experience it for the first time. ❤
Just to start my happy new year this January 1st 2025, I had to come back to this, again; my favorite reaction to one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists ever! I never tire of Ryan's 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!!
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!
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!
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.
"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?
I remember when FM stations took over AM stations. Stereo for the first time .. thank God we cruised in cars as fantastic as the music we listened too.
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!
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
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.
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.
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. 😊❤
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 !!
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
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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
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!
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".
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! ❤️
The GREATEST DECADE IN MUSIC IS =THE 70's! 👍👍 I'm so glad to see young people discovering this music which I and other baby boomers enjoyed as kids-teens-young adults. Boz is a classic example of the quality and excellence of how music did and should sound like. Steely Dan, whom you have covered, is another like kind band. The range of music that bands of the late 60's and thru the 70's was masterful. Greatest DECADE!
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.
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
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
You guys crack me up -- seeing y' all enjoying music from our generation. 🙂
I’m back for like the 100th time. You guys reacting to Boz is my ‘go-to-feel-good’ song.
"It's like Barry White meets Steely Dan." A more apt description for this track has never and will never be said. BRILLIANT!!
👏👏
"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.
I'm always jealous of younger dudes like this when they discover amazing music like this from my youth. Love the reactions!!
Most of the youngsters haven’t even scratched the surface on tunes from those years. Hope they keep digging. We were lucky enough to have it all these years. 😎😎
It’s like I’m discovering the music all over again through them!
Why I’m watching this everyday. Love it
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 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.

As much as the lead matters, if you aren't appreciative and thankful for those around you, you will never be successful.
Well known as a class guy.
I love Boz's voice, it's so unique, no one sounds like him.
Kermit the frog does!
I am 60 damn years old and I can't tell you how happy y'all are making me listening to my shit
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.
Hands down, one of the best songs ever made.
Indeed
The first breakthrough on a *Black Award* .You know this song has something going. 🎵🎶🎵
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

The soundtrack of my late teens. So good and I’ve seen Boz twice. He is perfection live.
The guy in the middles laugh is infectious. You guys have great chemistry
I knew that you'd be hooked the minute the bass dropped.
That bass!
Astounding!
Absolutely!
@@andrewpetik2034 David Hungate. Masterful. In sync-lock with Porcaro's drums.
Definitely! 👏💯👏

ditto 65 also
Released 45yrs ago and STILL is a winner!! ⭐️💯

Right! I’m here too! ✋
I'm seeing a lot of head-bobbing amongst the reviewers here...
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.

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

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!
You guys are absolutely right when you say "they don't make music like they used to." This song is definitely proof of that!
My mom (God rest her) was a huge Boz Scaggs fan. Thanks for giving me another opportunity to remember her.

Heck yeah!
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
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'!
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.
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!
Boz is still out there, doing his thing for the people. He’s great.
Jeff Parcaro absolutely killin this groove on the drums. He played with Steely Dan and loads of others before joining Toto. Absolute legend.
What an album this is.
Played to death by me back in the late 70’s.

This is my favorite reaction on any channel. Period.☄️💥🔥
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!
This reaction is fire. I have literally watched it several times. Ryan's reaction just kills me. Awesome.
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!
I wore out silk degrees at least three times on vinyl.
We’re All Alone off the same album.
For sure, "Jojo " is an absolute must!
My sister gave this album to me for my 16th birthday. Thought we were so cool 😎. Thanks for the memories
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.

This is the best reaction I have ever seen to this song..LOVE IT!!!
Stank faces!! First 30 seconds..lol. Great song and reaction. Thanks guys ❤
Here's the lowdown on this song. Excellent reaction!
I been listening to this song 35 years and keep it in heavy rotation to this day. It’s a timeless banger.
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!
This song is a classic,loved it in the 70s and still love it today,
Simply red. Holding back the years.
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!
The feeling of being blown away by this song was the same for me a few decades ago! What a great sound
Shut the front door!! Barry White meets Steely Dan---Perfect description!!
Back for the 10th time, these guys reacted the best I've ever seen to the music I listen to all the time
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! ❤️
Haunting and dazzling musical jewel from the incomparable 1970s, with perfect drumming.
The GREATEST DECADE IN MUSIC IS =THE 70's! 👍👍 I'm so glad to see young people discovering this music which I and other baby boomers enjoyed as kids-teens-young adults. Boz is a classic example of the quality and excellence of how music did and should sound like. Steely Dan, whom you have covered, is another like kind band. The range of music that bands of the late 60's and thru the 70's was masterful.
Greatest DECADE!
This reaction could not be more entertaining. 😁👍
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.
It's full of that 70's Groove, bass, great background singers, and a Flute involved. Boz never disappoints.
