So good to see Boz show up here ! One of the greats in my book. His voice is so unique and has a sweet high range. “Lido Shuffle” is another beauty.

One of the funkiest grooves of all time! 40 years later and it still holds up! Sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday. It's still in my playlist!

Scaggs wrote this song with the keyboard player David Paich, who would later form the band Toto and write many of their hits. "Lowdown" was the first song that Scaggs and Paich wrote together; it was Silk Degrees producer Joe Wissert who put them together. Along with keyboard player David Paich, two other future Toto members also played on this track: drummer Jeff Porcaro and bass player David Hungate. The Silk Degrees marked the first time that Scaggs used these studio pros, and it was also his first album produced by Joe Wissert, who was a staff producer at Columbia Records who had previously worked with Earth, Wind & Fire. In a Songfacts interview with Boz Scaggs, he explained: "We took off for a weekend to this getaway outside of LA where there was a piano and stayed up all night banging around ideas. We hit on 'Lowdown,' and then we brought it back to the band and recorded it. We were just thrilled with that one. That was the first song that we attempted, and it had a magic to it." The song is about a girl who doesn't appreciate what her man gives her. The "dirty lowdown" is the honest truth - what Scaggs is encouraging this poor sap to face. The word "Lowdown" was popular slang meaning a summary of what's going on for real. This won the Grammy for Best R&B Song of 1976, making Scaggs the first white artist to win the award.

Boz Skaggs is a musical genius.

Now…you’ve got to do Lido Shuffle next!

The musicians were a group of top class session musicians, who later went on to form Toto ❤️ One of the best albums in my collection - Silk Degrees ❤️ Boz is the Bomb ❤️❤️❤️

This is the most animated and excited I’ve seen you with new music! So exciting!

"You've just got an idea of what kind of songs they play in heaven." ♥

Boz is an interesting artist in that he wrote or co-wrote most of his biggest hits. He has a lot of soulful, funky songs about gangsters and people in trouble, but he has just as many beautiful, heartbreaking love ballads. "We're All Alone", "Heart of Mine", "You Can Have Me Anytime", and "Look What You've Done to Me" are all terrific love songs.

Boz is sooooooooooo smooth!

This was a HUGE hit! It got everyone on the dance floor!

Next for Boz, please do Lido Shuffle.

William "Boz" Skaggs - left the Steve Miller Band to record the "Silk Degrees" album in 1976. I was in high school 1973-1977 . . . we were blessed to be BATHED in a thousand artists and amazing bands!

He, Herbie Hancock, Ronny Laws and Jimmy McGriff are best listened to through the stage door while standing in the alley. I discovered Boz in the mid 70s and never found anyone else quite like him.

Boz Skaggs has some serious musical talent. AND he has longevity also. As far as I know he's still going strong today. He even sounds better even though he is as old as he is.

' Loan me a dime ' is another great Boz track featuring the late great Duane Allman. Worth the watch.

Harri, I love watching you... your joy is contagious! Thank you!!! - Brooklyn Mike

I've known this song for 46 years and I still get that "wow" factor every time I heard it. It's just that good.

Love watching you enjoy this. Boz is pretty awesome. There is a live version of this song and it's pretty good. After this song, you will go down the Boz rabbit hole. He has many great songs. Great reaction.

You have great taste bro!.. This song is so real, raw, and "street savvy sexy" makes you long for the times in which tunes like this were written.

When you go to a Boz Skaggs or Steely Dan concert, most of the audience are professional musicians. They get respect! Boz has you moving all night, I can't sit still. ❤

Jeff Porcaro= The MASTER of GROOVE David Hungate= Killing Bass Line David Paich= Songwriter and Fantastic Synth Boz Scaggs= Songwriter and EPIC VOICE!!!

Years ago I saw Boz Scaggs open for Stevie Nicks at Jones Beach. When he played this song, Stevie was in the wings dancing barefoot, her hair in curlers. 🌈💕✨

Boz's song “Loan Me A Dime” with Duane Allman is magnificent. Brilliant! Cheers!

next song by him you have to do is Lido Shuffle. great song too

You just heard, the best song to come out of the 70's, and possibly one of, if not the greatest song of all time!!!

Hi Harri~PLEASE, You have to check out "Look what you've done to me" Live 2004 (Great American music Hall) Boz has 2 back up singers that are Totally Incredible, one of them hits a Note near the end that sounds like it Would Break Glass, it's one of the highest Notes, I have ever heard !!!!!!! You will Absolutely LOVE this song, I can guarantee It !!!! Thank you Harri 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

One of the greatest albums of the 70s. You know...that era when we could listen to real music.

Brings back memories of college. This album, Fleetwood Mac, Peter Frampton and Stevie Wonder were played throughout the dorms.

Got this album, "Silk Degrees", in 1976 when it first came out, specifically for this song! Thanks for doing this one, Harri!

Harri, your face says it all, just 15 seconds into the song and you are doing the "stank face." What a joy to see someone enjoy a song down to their soul. Boz played with Steve Miller starting in his teens and was part of the Steve Miller Blues Band in the 60s. If you like this, please react to his version of "Loan Me A Dime" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ja13qc-Fva2pgnU.html. Love your love for music.

What a grrrrrreat reaction from you, Harri. I'm pretty sure you enjoyed you got your fix listening to this song. Got a kick watching you groove out to the Boz. Keep going with more of his great hits: Heart of Mine / Look What You've Done to Me / Lido Shuffle / JoJo

The drums, the filthy bass line! What a fantastic song.

The first time I heard this song back then I thought it was (or should have been) a Marvin Gaye song. Just reminds me of the kind he would have done. Despite the similarity in structure, the voice of Boz Skaggs was probably even better for this one.

This was a HUGE hit and perfect fit for dancing in the Disco. Still love hearing it. 👍👍👍

This song is such a groove - never get tired of hearing it!

You're taking me back to high school. Boz Scaggs was the first concert I went to. I think I was a sophomore. He has an awesome catalog. Thanks for the memories, Harri.

This song has given me chills ever since it came out!

I'm glad I was around in 1976 when this jam came out.Played it all summer long.🎶🎤🌴

Harri, you keep finding great music to react to

Oh my Harri, love Boz since he came out. Please try Lido Shuffle or Look What You've Done To Me. Thanks for this.

Boz was the first white man R&B song of the year at the Grammy 😊

Boz!!! ‘Lido Shuffle’ please!!!✌🏻

Yes, this is a "baaaaaaadddddd jam" one of my top 10 songs and I listened to it as little girl in the 70's and liked it from the very beginning and I carried it with me all the way to now! Thank you for this great "jam" review!

Saw Boz live 3 times. It time was fantastic. He's a super talented writer, musician, and singer! He was originally with the Steve Miller Band and was on 2 of his LP's. Thanks for posting Harri! A couple more from him would be nice:-)

Don’t hold anything back, Harri! I’ve also had a great day today.

You make me so happy to witness your joy in discovering music of my generation.

Harri, when this came out is was HUGE. Everyone had this album and it was standard fare at any party. It has great grooves and slow songs too, not a bad track. Boz has some really good older stuff too - check out "Loan Me a Dime" from 1969. I think even this album cover won awards!

This whole 'Silk Degrees' album is amazing! I do love the groove of this song, so infectious! Another dirty groove for you, if you haven't yet heard it.... How Long (Betcha Got a Chick On the Side) by The Pointer Sisters. They just keep building and building a nasty, funky groove until it feels like you will explode if you don't dance! Another good one here, Harri.

truly appreciate you playing this!!!! I remember it like it was yesterday!!! im 69.

I Love seeing how much you ❤ Bozz Scaggs like I and so many others do Harri. I caught on to him in the late 70's in my late teen years and his music was all over the radio here in Dallas DFW Texas where he was Living when he released this Fantastic Album🤠. As songs on Pop and Rock music grew ever more popular I still had to put on my Bozz 8 Track and Later Casset and even later my CD's to keep enjoying his Fantastic Unique sounds and Vocals. I am so thankful to see others still findings his Unique sounds and Music after all these years you really blessed me with this one Harri. Thankx From your Texas🤠 Friend across the Pond Mate Cheers and keep on Rockin.☺🍺

Thanks, Harri, your reactions are encouraging me to really listen to tracks I would have just regarded as 'funky backound' music. I always liked his 'Lido Shuffle' which had decent airplay in the U.K., but never really listened to anything else by him. Loved getting into this LowDown groove!

I saw Boz live in concert and it was truly one of the best shows I've ever seen. He and his band were so tight and listening to them jam for almost two hours was mind blowing. He is a musician's musician! Please follow up with more Boz - you can't go wrong.

Good stuff...what a relief !

Used to have this album. LOVE Boz! Great Reaction, Harri! Thank you so much, Love, from the Great State of Oklahoma, USA 🤍

One of the great albums!!!!!!

What a treat to see you have the same reaction I have when I listen to this gem. Everything you said I was nodding and saying " hell yeah bro " Harry If your gonna do another reaction from Boz I strongly suggest "Jojo". My gut feeling tells me your gonna enjoy that one too. Peace.

Love Boz, starting listening in the ‘70s…still go see him in Concert in the 2020’s He still sounds amazing. ❤️🔥

Love this song, it's one of my all-time favorites, too! Really throws me back to 1976. 👍🌞

I've always just loved his unique sound. Glad you got to sample some Boz!!

Just catching this one - love seeing your smile and just purity of enjoying this classic

Harri, I love watching your reaction to this song, priceless.

Silk Degrees was a fantastic album. Yes, I owned it on vinyl. It is so funky Harri. It brings back so many memories of being a freshman in college. Thanks for that dude!

I love watching you react......it is exactly what this does to you. I cannot sit still when this plays. You just gotta move.

Miss Sun is a must listen to 😊

One of my all time favorites from back in the day . Thank you Harri.

The musicianship is so much like Steely Dan And innovative and as funky as anything you’ll here. So many many great groups from the 70’s!!😎

This song is so groovy, LOVE your reaction harri, it's PERFECTION

I think this is one of your most energetic reactions I have seen. It is indeed a great song!! Never gets old no matter how old or how many times you listen to it. Timeless.

I love seeing someone enjoy music as much as you obviously enjoyed this one! Keep on trucking Harri!

Boz has been a fave of min since the late 60s. He started out with the Steve Miller band but quickly went solo. His first self titled album came out in 1969 and had Duane Allman backing him up. Recorded at the famous Muscle Shoals Sound studio along with the Muscle Shoals Rythym Section and the Memphis Horns. Here's one of the best known cuts on that first album. It was cut down to 4:30 for the album but here is the full 13: take; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbuJmZh1krXOZIE.html&start_radio=1

It’s so great to see your reaction to one of my favorite songs!! It’s one of those you don’t want to end!!! Love Boz Skaggs!!! And, like you’ve said many times, I thought for the longest time it was a black singer!!! He’s one of a kind! Love you, Harri!!!

1970's music at it's best!

Brilliant reaction ❤

Bozz Scaggs is one of those unrated artist.

ANOTHER BLUE EYED SOUL BROTHER__GREAT SONG FOR THE TIMES

You are right!!! This is a KILLER SONG!!!!

Boz is da man!!! He is a very multi talented musician

This was out back in the mid 70's I believe. Still sounds Great today.

I recommend this song and ALL songs on his live album.

lol I Knew when you heard this, you would lose your mind because you know good music when you hear it. That's him playing the lead guitar too. You should check out his live performances - they're just as good as the studio. Great reaction!

My girlfriend bought me this album back in 1977 or 78. I never heard of him before this and I still got the album.

This is a musical wonderland to me-fun, deep, complex, one of my all-time favs from an all-time fav.

Songs like this and so many others from the 70's and 80's bring me to emotional memory overload .Good God I was blessed to have lived and experienced those days . I 'm right there with you just digging that beat ,his voice the musical hooks and the whole ball of wax ,yeah man Boz is da man .Love ,love , love it !!!

I’ve always loved this song and Boz Scaggs specifically.

I love him! He’s unique. Have you heard his song “Lido Shuffle “. I think you’ll like it.

You absolutely nailed it!!! Dirty, funky and groovy!!! Great reaction!!!

Lido Shuffle is another great one by Boz 🥰

The legendary R&B group BLACKstreet (with legendary producer Teddy Riley) used parts of this song in their song “Bootie Call”. I used to work in a record shop (well, we sold cd’s in the 90s of course) and I told my colleague that this Boz Scaggs album was one she’d see regularly as we’d sell it at least once a month. Note that this was 20+ years since the release of ‘Silk Degrees’. We’d always had one in stock, even 20 to 25 years later.

Love your reaction Harri to Boz Skaggs. Back in the day this was one of the most frequently played songs on the radio. It’s classic. 🥰

Great choice, Harri!

4 on the floor, high hat symbol. Classic, perfect R&B Disco groove.

Glad to see lots of reaction channels discovering this song. What a MONSTER hit this was back in the day. On black radio stations, white radio stations, at parties, in nightclubs, close enough to disco that disco fans didn't hate it, but so funky that people who hated disco still loved it. Fun fact: SO many people thought this singer was black that seeing the album cover for the first time was a freak out experience for a bunch of folks! Listen up kids: that is what a real person playing drums sounds like--that out of this world groove is NOT a drum machine. It is the late great Jeff Porcaro when he was just an effing teenager (before Toto)

Excellent choice, he has many others.

Thanks Harri a real Gem from my past, Boz was El Senor, the Man. 🎸🎷😎

Last yr my boyfriend went to sit in with a band as a singer . Just jammin’ in the Berkeley hills with a bunch of fifty somethings in a beautiful living room. There was a drummer , bass , keyboards guitar and guy plying a pretty wicked flute . They suggested this song . By boyfriend had never sang it and after one a quick run down they played it and it was magical . I have it on video . One of my fav songs of all time . They did a helluva job for just one try .

Try Harbor Lights.

He was one of the best in my teens - love this. They dont make music like this anymore.

I love your enjoyment of this song.

The Break/Change is heavenly...... if Angels can sing this is it!!! Music at its very very best! x
