There's a reason so many artists have chosen to sing this beautiful song....

I agree with others, this whole album is a masterpiece! You must listen to the long version of “Look what you’ve done to me” from him. It’s such an emotion stirring, beautiful song.

The whole Silk Degrees album is fire! Truly one of the great works of popular art of the 20th century. Boz never really reached those heights again but what a monumental album. By the way, Harri, you're probably referring to Rita Coolidge's hit cover version of this.

"Silk Degrees" may just be one of the top three albums of all time.

Great song. Rita Coolage does a cover that is absolutely beautiful!

I have tickets to see 78 year old Boz Skaggs next month. This will be my second time seeing him live.

boz's vocal is so plaintive and yearning here, it's one of my favourites by him. the other is "harbour lights", another lament but a tone cooler, wistful but doesn't quite bring the tears, for me at least. boz is at his best with mournful ballads like these, i think. also: as others have said, there was another hit version of this song by rita coolidge in the late '70s that may be where you've heard this melody before. i loved her cover also.

My most treasured Album from the 70's love every track and love his unique voice, my favourite tracks are '' Lowdown '' and '' Harbour lights '' ❤❤❤

Boz Skaggs went to school with Steve Miller and they were writing songs together when they were about twelve years old.

When I went to see him in concert I expected more of a zz top type. But he is the smoothest human I've ever seen. Thanks for the heartfelt reaction

I can't believe how many hits Boz Scaggs had in this album. I am familiar with them all but did not know who sang it. I was a little kid. The funky song you are referring to is "Low Down".

Been a fan since the 70’s. He is a great artist and his live music is insane. He also did some albums where he sings jazz standards which shows just how versatile he is. Beautiful music, beautiful song, beautiful artist.

Rita's version was a huge hit. My favorite Boz song is "You Can Have Me Anytime" from 1980. His ballads are very powerful.

Great request Di! I love this song. Boz has so much soul in his songs. Rita Coolidge did a fantastic cover. A little different but still great. Thanks Harry. 🔥👍🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧🤴🙃

Amazing soulful love song masterpiece.

Sad to think, the new generation have lost the ability to write emotional, heart felt songs like this.

This album is a masterpiece in every respect.

"Loan Me A Dime" w/ Duane Allman on guitar is a must-hear! Silk Degrees is a truly fine album, too. "Jo Jo," "Look What You've Done To Me." Fantastic stuff!

I once made a Boz Scaggs Greatest Hits Compilation..... it ended up with 66 songs. I have all his music in my massive collection.

He is one best voice in music business and now how to being it home and singing for other people he takes the place of other singer great voice and other who did was flo and eddie

If you look into more Boz Scaggs, consider "Love, Look What You've Done To Me". (I close my eyes when I hear it... it's one of those.) 😊

Love your channel and thank you for checking out Boz Scaggs. You must check out "Lowdown" and "Look What You've Done to Me". You won't be sorry.

The whole "Silk Degrees" album is great. Remember when it came out in 1976. It has a bluesy sound to it. Two of his most famous songs from that album are "Lowdown" & "Lido Shuffle". Some other songs are "It's Over", "What Can I Say", "Look What You've Done To Me", "Harbor Lights" & "Jump Street".

Sir, bet the song you were trying to remember was either "Lido Shuffle" or "Lowdown". Either one would be a great reaction for you. Isn't Mr. Boz Scaggs amazing? SO underrated! Thank you, sir, for reacting to this beauty!

Boz is still touring this summer, he comes close to where I live, it's at an Ampitheater, so the sound should be good, I'll let everyone know if he still has the magic.

Love this song 🎵 ❤ appreciate Rita Coolidge doing this number too👍

I love it when you give them a standing ovation!

That's why I love Boz Scaggs. His music is none like any other artist. He can be country, funky, beautiful, emotional. He's got it all! You really need to hear his library. Start with his 'Moments' album.

His Lido Shuffle is funky

Great selection, Di Shields! Simply beautiful and just another classic from Scaggs' "Silk Degrees" album.

Don't think Karen covered this one but there's a great cover by Rita Coolidge, well worth the listen.

Rita Collidge did this song beautifully.I like both versions .

The funky bass line had to be either "Lido Shuffle" or "Lowdown." This is one of my all time fav albums and this song in particular sends chills all over. A beautiful performance. "Harbor Lights" in another great one from this album. I think Anne Murray did "All Alone" back in the 70s.

A favorite from the album. Another beautiful song on the same album is Harbor Lights. Incredible.

Ya gotta listen to “Harbor Lights” by Boz. One of my favs!

Di, You chose a terrific request from a truly great singer and guitarist. I have followed Boz going way back to his Loan Me A Dime release featuring Duane Allman. I have a still available DVD entitled Boz Scaggs Greatest Hits Live which I very highly recommend. It is a concert from The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco.

I'm not crying, you're crying! Great video!

I love Boz Scaggs. I’ve seen him solo 3 times in concert plus once WITH Michael McDonald and once with the Dukes of September. I STRONGLY suggest going back into his older library. Try Dinah Flo, We Were Always Sweethearts, Freedom for the Stallion, My Time and especially Loan Me A Dime. All so very special.

Love the very grandeur interlude with colosal strings orchestra.

I know Boz released his version in 1976 but it was on the b-side of his popular hit Lido Shuffle so I remember Rita Collidge's version more since it was a top ten hit in 1977..she did a great job! I do love Boz though my favorite songs being Lido Shuffle and Breakdown Dead Ahead.Keep On Rockin'

You did LOW Down by him. That's the funky one. This is my favorite Boz Scaggs song. It gets me everytime!! He's got a lot of romantic songs. Rita Coolidge does this song. But, Boz beats hers hands down!! I'm was hoping you would do this one. Try Downright Woman

Somebody Loan Me a Dime is a bluesy masterpiece. It is long but a must listen Harri.

I bought the silk degrees album with my first pay cheque in 1976. Loved it to bits then, and, still do to this day. A timeless classic which I never tire of playing

Best by him, "Love look what you've done".

A lot of people covered this song, but Boz wrote it. Silk Degrees is a great album, but if you want to hear Boz Skaggs' masterpiece you have to listen to him and Duane Allman perform "Loan Me a Dime."

The orchestration sounds like the work he did with "hitman" David Foster who did lot of movie stuff in the 80s.

There were so many great songs on the "Silk Degrees" album, which was a smash hit. I didn't know anyone who didn't buy that album and this was one of the songs on that album, but they could release ALL of the songs as singles so this one fell thru the cracks, then Rita Collage released it as a single and her version was a #1 hit. It stood at the top of the charts for quite some time, as I recall?

Saw him 3 years ago still fantastic!!

By the comments you would think this is Boz Scaggs only album. He was outstanding right from his early days and probably had 4 or 5 successful albums before this one.. He went to England (Europe) for a while and was a big hit their as well. This album is one of his greats, but he has done some really good ones of late as well. How about his early works "Moments" and his "Slow Dancer" albums.

HIGH Harri..... I have seen "The BOZ" Live 4 times. Always a great show with exceptional songs. The women go crazy when he does this song throwing their underwear on stage. Have a Incredibly Successful Day

I rediscovered Boz Scaggs, thanks to you! Wonderful artist.

I was 9 yrs old when Rita Coolidge released this in 77’ always thought she was the original until recently . The original is Beautiful by Skaggs…. Rita Coolidge gets my feels on this one - so Melancholy 😢 just a beautiful voice.

Thank you for your insightful analysis of one of the most moving songs I've experienced. It expresses trust, faith and gentle surrender like no other song i know

I had this album back in the day. It had some great songs on it (including this one). You might want to check out "Lido Shuffle", "Look What You've Done to Me", "Lowdown" -- pretty much all of the songs on this album, were great.

Funny how I have this album and having worked in a record shop for almost 10 years, I have sold many copies of ‘Silk Degrees’, but never noticed this song was on there. We are pretty much all more familiar with the Rita Coolidge version and I just found out that apparently, Michael Jackson also recorded this song, but it was never released. 😱

This album crossed all charts and every gondras in 1976/77 I was witness! I got the "Album" first day, and I sreem the same in my car, forever!!!

Boz stands tall beside Michael McDonald, Phoebe Snow, Donald Fagen et al in the New York Rock & Soul Revue.

Damn I wore this album out! Thanks for the memories ❤️

my favorite album in high school. He was phenomenal live, I saw him in NYC at the Beacon I believe.

Rita Coolidge did a fantastic cover of this a year later that was a world wide hit.

Melissa Manchester sang it , it's a beautiful song

I heard it first by Rita Coolude who had sung backup for Boz. and yeah, "Lowdown" is very funky vs this sentimental ballad!

Great song from a great album. Much better than the more commonly known cover.

standing ovation x2

Hi Harri, the song you were thinking of was Lowdown, co-written by Boz Scaggs and David Paich. David Paich, an excellent arranger, keyboard player and songwriter, along with bassist David Hungate and drummer Jeff Porcaro, went on to be founder members of Toto. Paich's father was Marty Paich, who was, like his son, an arranger, composer, leader, pianist and producer, who worked with a lot of big names in Jazz and Swing music. Perhaps his most notable collaboration, was with Mel Torme, The Velvet Fog, whose M.D., he was and many of Torme's hits were recorded with The Marty Paich Dectet. Boz Scaggs, is from Texas and one of his early gigs was with The Steve Miller Band, he left and went solo and played many styles of music during his long career. Silk Degrees, the album that this track and Lowdown, were from, was recorded in February 1976 and was his breakthrough album. Some people will try and tell you it was the only worthwhile thing he did, nothing could be further from the truth, anything with his name on is worth a listen. To come a little more up to date, he still gigs and records with a band called The Dukes Of September, which includes Steely Dan's Donald Fagen, The Doobie Brothers' Michael Mc Donald along with The Steely Dan Touring Band, who I think you would love. Keep up with the great work, stay safe. Best wishes from London, England.

Love the Boz. Love the Silk Degrees Alblumn.

Rita Coolidge brought his to another level.......that being said he wrote it.

Beautiful song! In 1976, Frankie Valli reached No. 27 on the U.S. adult contemporary singles chart with his cover of "We're All Alone," and like others have said, Rita Coolidge scored a Top 10 hit (No. 7) with her version in 1977.

"Harbor Lights" from the same album is fantastic....as some mentioned, Silk Degrees IS fire - not a bad song on it.

Exactly. The rest of his songs are completely different than his 2 top songs. Low Down and Lido Shuffel

Love this song. I first heard Rita Coolidge do it. I'm pretty sure she was a background singer for Boz Scaggs. Rod Stewart had a cover hit.

Rita Coolidge recorded also.

Love Boz and this song. But you need to check out Rita Coolidge's version. She's got a beautiful voice.

The funky song that you reacted to was “Lowdown “ from the same album, “Silk Degrees “, a fantastic album. Check out “Georgia “ from the same album.

Great, great track. Harbor Lights is even better.

Rita Coolidge has a hit with this too

Afternoon Mr B the violins 🎻 lift one up and away, regards M Mangawhero

I got my tickets for Aug 2 in Ridgefield Ct. Rock on all.

This album, Silk Degrees, 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Paul anka Times of our life

Hey Harri..... One day you will listen to Bob Dylan - "It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding"..... With Lyrics/live. You and your subscribers will be so glad you did.

If you like this song there's another one Harbor Lights on the same lp you must hear. This album is one of the greatest ever recorded.

If you write a song. And the likes of Rita Coolidge, and Reba Mcentire cover it. You have to know that's a damn fine song. If you get the chance give those others a listen. Also. the whole Silk Degrees album is a really good listen if you get the chance.

I like Rita Coolidge's version but IMO, Boz edges her out! This is amazing!!

One thing about the baby boomers their voice has some gentle quality in them. Not all out forcefulness like Celine Dione or Whitney Houston, the Generation Xes. I compare him like the Bee Gees - able to take on funky songs as well as emotional songs but oh so gentle. Bee Gees are also baby boomers.

Listen to Miss Sun by the boz....

Rita Coolidge covered this, and in my opinion, did it better.

👍

Oh ya..this 1..oiV

If you love this, you’d love Look What You’ve Done To Me. You may have reacted to it already, since I’m a couple of months past you posting this, so I’ll head out to check!

Rita Coolidge’s version is phenomenal!

Also watch the rendition from(Offical music video) Rita Coolidge a Native American Cherokee Indian. Different & absolutely fabulous. I love both versions equally. Tc

Hi Mr. Harri, R, are,, Carpenter , not cap.. ♠W.G.

IMO Boz Scaggs best song is Heart of Mine.

Please react to Jojo, Some Things Happen and Ask me About Nothing but the Blues. My favorite Boz Scaggs songs.

Low Down was the song

@5:-00, probably Lido

Do you ever share your favorites with friends?
