Wow ... Man you have captured His' essence!

Loved your review. Superb writing and understanding of what works in this classic. Boz really is that good. Miss Sun is another gem, but way underrated. He has written so many great songs. Indeed, a gift to modern music.

Yes a fantastic album. I bought it when it came out, and still listen to it. Great music 🎶.

YEAH 77 WAS A GREAT YEAR HEARING LOW DOWN AND BOZ SCAGGS ON THE RADIO EVERYDAY!🎤🎶🎸🎼🌟🎵✨🎆

Well said.

you got that right!! you seem to know good music when you hear it (y) (y)

i got your back on good music this where its at..

Very rare these days!

SO fresh.

Actually thinking this is better! 💕

Same here.

Amen; those gals r bringing the tunes...damn they're exquisite

Yeah they are good but The Babies had some great backup female singers too.

@@randyross2089 the background singers sound like they are from London.

Pink Floyd’s backup singers from the pulse tour were amazing as well.

Who are them? Whats their name

smooth like butter pecan ice cream in the summer

Precisely why this song is soooo damn GOOD!!

This isn't my favorite genre of music but this is sooooo melodic and beautiful!

Frog, but it sounds good

Can't believe it was scrolling through the comments and as I was just about to read this thought very similar to Van Morrison! An epiphany or something!

Selwyn Katz ...He's in his 60's here! ( Born in 1944)...He's a Hall Of Famer in my book!

Mexican lucky by defpunk

.pharel and defpunks Mexican lucky

im just thinking to myself i wish i was there and would be damn proud of it..lol

Hello dear.... how are you doing today..??

This guy has got class, style, and his music is laid-back and cool..... AND he writes his own songs......more than you can say for Elvis Presley....

true that!

...Also from My Youth , and Just Loving THAT SOUND in my (Hopefully) Advancing Years! Peace Brother Asanti...!

Oh Hell YES, Good Stuff here, loveeee Boz

The guitar solo is great!

It's good music, doesn't matter black or white (coming from a white guy). LOL

Totally agree LoraJ, I just love bragging on my ignorance (when it's funny),..and Good Music. I can listen to Boz, Doobies (mostly with McDonald but I like some of their hits w/o him), Nicks, Henley, Mellencamp, Sting, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Journey (yes, them too:)), and George Michael (minus "Wake Me Up", I not one time liked that song:)),...allthelivelongday.

MarkAntney funny! would love to hear the story around what your reaction was when you learned he was a white guy! Boz Skaggs has been such a favorite if mine from a lifetime ago. I guess, since about age eleven years old? glad you shared that! :-)

Kelly, Short Version (probably not when done) Buttt, in Elementary school (can't remember the grade/when) the song/singer came up and I/ME said it was a Black Dude for I heard it on Black Radio all the time (though in hindsight I conveniently FORGOT: "Bennie and the Jets"/Elton, "Sara Smile"/Hall and Oates, "Fame"/Bowie, "Queen of my Soul" and "Cut the Cake"/AWB, War (with and w/o Eddie Burton), 3 Dog Night, Wild Cherry, and several KC and the Sunshine Band hits played all the time on R&B radio at the time:)). And since I was quite smart for my age at the time, OTHER (mostly Black but not all) idiots agreed with my MIT (Level) Expert Analysis. Can't recall which (White) Student challenged my R&B Intellect but it started a mini Civil Rights Discussion:). When the teacher grew weary,...MR WHITE (true name, I swear) chimed in, "Does it really matter if the singer was Black?" To my credit, I (and others) said "No, not really" but MR WHITE saw in our Stupid Little Faces, some form of closure was needed,..he then "Sighed" and said, "Since you have to know, he's White" I swear we all laughed!!! I own a ton of Boz in CDs and DVD.

MarkAntney Ha! I love it! "Black Radio" and Yang to its Yin, "White Radio" were really the terms we used in our collective vernacular until more recently, weren't they? Wow. We've come a long way towards more accurately naming genres (Hip Hop, Rock, R&B, etc.), and refreshingly less able to put people of any one color in any one box (think The Beastie Boys and Living Color, both of whom ROCK! Um, or is that uh...BUMP?!). ;-) Who cares, right?! All of the above for this lady, thank you very much! ;-) EITHER way, music has been like air for me since pretty much the first day of my life. I haven't got a nanobit of musically creative talent (or for spatial direction, or eyeballing measurements, for that matter!), but had I been blessed with any, I'd have been inclined to learn guitar and piano. It turns out I WAS paying attention when appreciation for music was being passed out, and there's no shortage of supply to become skilled at that in this life, thankfully. And, I'm not sure if it's true, but not too long ago I heard it said somewhere that music is the only thing that engages our entire brain at one time. I'm picturing a colorful PET scan film of a person's whole brain lit up while listening! Curiosity will insist I do some fact finding on this... So thanks for sharing this in such a rich and funny way. It took me right back to that time in childhood when one by one the things we understood late in or first decade made way for more accurate realities and left us forever less innocent somehow. Often the peeling back of layers brought on by this natural progression of development were like a sad little loss. For certain, always impossible to unknow once we 'knew'. Some were just funny, like "...'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy!"! So thanks, Jimi! We all dig THAT one! But I digress. I'm guessing that we're probably from similar times (I was born in '67) from the song we're talking about here. Love the visual of a teacher bringing in the jury for good on this white dude Boz Skaggs, huh?! Wonder if any kids in your class that day got to go blow their friends out of the water by knowing he was white. Cool points? Check!

ABSOLUTELY

Hello Arleena..

Nothing too flashy or too boring, clearly an excelent solo !!!!!

It is utterly beautiful - particularly how he resolves it at the end . . . . . .
