Twenty years from now when you're hearing this song for the 200th time it will still make you smile and tap your feet uncontrollably and you'll wish the song was10 minutes long and not 5.

When my husband and I were dating he came to my house and was going through my albums. He pulled out Silk Degrees and said “who the heck is BozSkaggs”. It soon became his go to album at my place, along with Robin Trower, Dave Mason, and Gerry Rafferty. Great Music and Memories! ❤✌️

Another artist who is so unique you know immediately it's Boz.

This brings back summertime feels. This cassette was played a lot in the car on the way to the beach or wherever that summer. Seriously consider just doing a listen to this entire album. You won't regret it.

Boz’s great vocal, Jeff Pocaro’s amazing drumming David Hungates spicy bass with Louis Shelton’s searing guitar solos. This song is pure gold.

We used to call this music, it still is. Better than almost anything over the past 20 years.

Some of the best hooks in pop music. I saw him open for Stevie Nicks years ago at Jones Beach. She was in the wings in curlers and bare feet, dancing her butt off. 🌈💕✨

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", "We're All Alone", "Harbor Lights" & "Jump Street". "Look What You've Done To Me" was co-written by Boz Scaggs & David Foster for the 1980 movie "Urban Cowboy".

I knew you would love Boz! Lido Shuffle it’s a great song to do next but if you want to go farther, there’s a great live version that he does with his band of the 1980s song Look What You’ve Done To Me. The video is called look what you’ve done to me (live 2004.) Boz wrote the song for the hit movie called Urban Cowboy in 1980 and he performs it live in this video with the back up singers and musicians being showcased as well. It’s a bluesy ballad. Other songs to check out is JoJo and We’re All Alone, the latter was a big hit for a Rita, Coolidge but Boz wrote it and recorded it as well.

So many of my friends were real hard rockers absolutely loved this song and this song has got a jazz soul influence and it was amazing to me to see these Headbangers love this song that goes to show you how great Boz scaggs is and the whole album is great!

I would definitely check out Lido Shuffle (lee-doh). It was my jam back in the day! It's a lot of fun to sing, too. Great for road trips.

Boz is such a chill jam, can't imagine anyone not loving this 😘❤️🌹💋

Definitely still performing. I saw him in Santa Rosa, CA a few months back. He's pushing 80 and he sounds PERFECT! And man can he play guitar! I go to a lot of concerts by classic groups and his was the best performance I've seen in years.

This song is such a grove. Look What You’ve Done to Me, live, when he’s a bit older is sooo good. Perfection, really.

I believe the instrument you were trying to figure out was the flute. It's a real flute, not a synthesizer, also real horns along with synths. Boz is so smooth but he also does some harder rock, and currently does more pure blues. He plays guitar on his music. He sounds just as well live today as he does on his albums. The band members on this album eventually went on to form the band Toto.

This was co-written by TOTO keyboardist David Paich and features him, bassist David Hungate and drummer Jeff Porcaro, who would at these sessions decide to form TOTO.

Boz Scaggs " JoJo" is amazing check it out.

Steve Miller Band is awesome too! Definitely give them a listen. They have many hits. Jet Airliner, The Joker, Fly Like an Eagle…

Lido shuffle next please

This brings back a lot of memories! Love seeing younger folks exploring & loving music I grew up with. Silk Degrees is pretty much a flawless album. Really enjoy your channel & reactions

Boz is magic, you're right. The Silk Degrees album is incredible, every song is great. I scanned the comments below and didn't see anyone mention his previous album, Slow Dancer. It's just as good. The title cut is a gem, and You Make It Hard (To Say No) and Hercules are both fire as well. And as for Silk Degrees, Lido Shuffle, What Can I Say and Harbor Lights shouldn't be missed as too. Boz toured with Donald Fagen from Steely Dan and Michael McDonald from The Doobie Brothers as the New York Rock and Soul Review. Scaggs covered Drowning in the Sea of Love, the soul classic. Great stuff!

In the early 70s, I was driving through Bodega Bay (in CA), if I remember correctly, and my friend and I stopped at a pub or bar or whatever you wanna call it-it was very small but very lively-my friend and I walked in, there wasn’t even a cover charge- by the time we got there it was late, and there was Boz Scaggs doing his thing. It was awesome.

Listening to Boz is like sitting down to a fine meal...when one utters the words, "This just has all the right flavors going on." The blending of his voice, with the use of instruments, beats, and sounds, background vocals. Pure magic. This song just makes you feel good to be alive. Get this one kicking on a warm summer evening...takes you all the places you need to go.

I saw Boz Scaggs in concert about 5 years ago. It was more blues than pop. They did do this song. Great show and Boz was very likable.

Kudos to you! You are the only reactor to this track that noticed the synth "sparkle" in the second bridge. Good ear!

Boz is the Boss. Such a great drivin' tune, but I wonder how many babies were made to this. Smooth is right. Sometimes we worry about getting disappointed; but seldom with Boz Scaggs.

Boz Scaggs covers 40 years of music here in the US starting with Steve Miller Band and striking out on his own.His work includes work with Booker T & the MGs including Steve Cropper formed as the house band of Stax Records, providing backing music for numerous singers, including Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding His first two albums go back to 1969 and 70 and were just titled Boz Scaggs, and his Slow Dancer were early albums. He left the US for some tours in England and around the area and came back and releases Silk Degrees and this song. "Slowdancer" is a real hit from one of his early albums but here is alive version a few years back. "As the Years Go Passing By " Boz Scaggs-Booker T and The MG's "Runnin Blue" Boz Scaggs 1971 " Cadillac Walk" Memphis Album 2013 "Moments" or "Painted Bells" from Moments Album "Loan me a Dime" featuring Duane Allman

Boz put out a lot of great music, but this is his masterpiece. The arrangement is perfect right down to the 1/32 note, and the lyrics fit just right and are perfect down to the word. One of the very, very few songs that cannot be improved upon. It's worthy of real study; you can listen to it hundreds of times and still always hear something new.

You have to hear him doing Loan me a Dime with Duane Allman on guitar. Not sure how to describe other than very special, and if you have not heard it you need to. One of those instant classics

Magical. Good choice of words young man. 👍👍👍

This song won Boz A Grammy in 1976 for Best R&B song of the year. He was the first White singer to ever win that award. This album Silk Degrees went Platinum 3 times.

Boz was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live on September 25, 1976. My cousin ran into the room a group of us were in to tell us he was starting. My sister almost tripped over her own feet to get to the tv. Boz was THE MAN back in the day.

This whole album, "Silk Degrees", is fire. Pick any song and it'll be great.

Bringing my youth back to life!!! Thank you!!🎶🎼🎵🎸🎹🥁🎤🎙🎧🤘🤘🤘 Relax and enjoy the songs!! You can always listen a hundred times more!!!😉😉

We called Boz' music "$5,000 apartment music" back in the day. He was pure class.

I've still got that album from my late teens. Love it.

Jojo, Georgia, Harbour Lights, It’s Over, What Can I Do and many many more songs.

1977 Grammy winner for best rb/soul. Lowdown ❤

This song pretty much opened the door for Yacht Rock. It spawned Toto as a band as well. Disco beat with rock undertones changed the game for a few years in pop music. Boz and the crew nailed it.

This was one of the albums my art teacher would play in the background during class. I don’t think I would have been as open to it were it not for it being “forced” on me regularly.

My favorite favorite favorite artist. I have everything he ever put out and I have seen him many times. Love everything. Deep dive suggestions " Call That Love" or "Runnin Blue" are great.

It's not often the lead completes the line of the backup singers, maybe in a musical play, but used in a pop jazz tune it's brilliant.

THIS WAS HIS BLOWUP HIT SONG SALVO! 😊 LOWDOWN AND THEN YOU HAD : LIDO SHUFFLE AND WE'RE ALL ALONE 😊

This was his best song and honestly to me one of the best songs of the entire decade!

and no computers , no auto tune, no pitch correction, Musicians! Love ya man!

I re-discovered Bozz Skaggs a few years ago. The synthesizer part was always my favorite part of the song as well. I described it as a starburst.

Boz Skaggs got his start in blues. He co-wrote this song with the founding members of the group Toto, before they became Toto. As a matter of fact, the majority of the musicians on this recording are the band Toto!!

"Jojo" is another great Boz tune to check out.

I was a huge Boz fan back in the mid 70’s when I was in the USAF. Great composer and producer.

One of the best songs ever. That Scaggs swag.

I'm 60 years old, got this album when it first came out and it's always been a fave all these years!

We were all surprised when my mom liked this song. She is gone now, but still remembered.

I went to Madeira, an Island off Africa, for 10 weeks.. I took 2 CDs , Silk Degrees and Bridges over troubled water. Boz must be the most underrated artist of all time. He's got the lot!

If you like this watch “The Dukes Of September,Live at Lincolin Center”. Donald Faegan,Michael Macdonald and Boz Scags. Great concert.

Boz is one of the greats of blue eyed soul.

Yup, you did bring enjoyment... Thanks for sharing. Sorry I missed this past Saturday... Looking forward to more of your journeys.

“I wonder wonder wonder who Taught you to talk like that” is my fave part

I still have this original album, it was a huge hit when I was in high school. He was even better live, I saw him at Radio City Music Hall in the 90's. He has a wonderful bluesy voice

That bass!!!👍

Boz he sounds just as good in Concert . Party On .We had fun . We would throw this album on and party .

Truly an interesting one here love the song love you

I LOVED watching you take in and enjoy every new little bit that came in! And I understand what you mean about worrying and dissecting. But I’ll tell you this, Boz never lets you down. He’s like Zepplin in that respect. Their music NEVER gets boring or old.

so now you get to enjoy what we have known about for decades

Smooth Jazz Gold. Saw him live 4 years ago and is still fantastic.

Fun fact. Lowdown won the Grammy for Best R&B Song of 1976, making Boz Scaggs the first white artist to win the award

I am having such a good time wathcing you discover our music!!

You are always so adorable, sweet, and endlessly kind! Thank you..

On that same album is a song called Harbor Lights. Best love song EVER.

Amazing sound, love his unusual voice..First record from one of my brothers..

Check out Miss Sun. There are live versions on KZfaq which are just out of this world.

Silk Degrees was a must have album in the golden seventies. Not a filler on the whole elpee.

Lido Shuffle is definitely another one to check out.

Untold (millions?)numbers of people assumed Boz Skaggs to be black, Lowdown is Disco, soft rock, blue-eyed soul and yacht rock blues perfecty blended into a masterpiece of an era many people put down; and I wonder wonder wonder wonder whoooo....taught them to think like that? The song lyrics puts Lowdown into the category of masterpiece IMHO.

Thank you for your reaction, I'm just discovering this artist myself. Awesome that you're finding him too.

Ya gotta just chill and enjoy the music.

R&B song of the year.

Imagine having this and similar great songs as the background to your teenage years? I had it!

This is perhaps the only song I have on my playlist-staylist that I have associated with a negative memory. I went to high school in the late 2000’s and early 2010’s, and I used to work for the football team, doing their game film and highlight videos. Well, my boss was a very aggressive man (who I later learned was going through some shit at that time in his life, but I digress). One day, he showed up into the office and yelled at me for shredding something I wasn’t supposed to (miscommunication; thankfully, we had a backup), but, being a delicate kid, I got very upset and it made me cry. So I took a minute to try to compose myself and when I came back into the office, he’d turned the music on and was jamming out to this song. I love this song, but I will never forget that day, and it definitely scarred me more than it should’ve. Moral of the story: sometimes the music’s just too damn good to avoid.

Boz Skaggs Silk Degrees and Fleetwood Mac Rumors were the first albums I bought with my own money, and I got them both at the same time. I know them both by heart. 😊

Glad you met Boz, he's one of the greats! ♡

Disco was still years away when this song was released

I’ve been waiting for you to do this since Saturday night😉🔥♥️🎼 Lido Shuffle next!

A great Boz Scaggs song is "HEART OF MINE"...worth a listen.

I am the proud owner of a Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab Original Master Recording of Silk Degrees. I own quite a few MFSL OMR and Silk Degrees has the best sound of them all. It's sooooo sweet sounding. What a great album.

Love this song! Thanks.

Love this whole album. I still have my original and Boz is always in my rotation. Check him out live. ✌️♥️🎶

Lido Shuffle was part of my Boston life. Great times great memories

Great song. Reminds me of van Morrison and Gerry Rafferty; good voice, good music, good lyrics

Boz's 2004 live performance is fire 🔥 you can find it on youtube.

Now you have really have my attention..

"Jojo" is another great hit of his.

I 2nd the opinion next by him, Lido Shuffle from this same album.

Three members of his band went on to form Toto. You should do more Toto they've got some bangers. "Georgy Porgy" is an early Toto hit and has a similar vibe to "Lowdown".

Your mystery sound is flute & trumpet together. And all Boz Skaggs songs are great.

Lowdown was wanted for the Saturday Night Fever movie, but Boz's people decided no. This ended up costing him ca. $5,000,000 in residuals. It truly is a great song.

Boz was a staple in my album rotation. He deserves a deep dive!

You need to listen to Look What You've Done to Me, its simply perfection....

Just sit back and feel it,SalvoG😀

Literally as near a perfect song that one could be…

Got to do Loan Me A Dime, it was recorded in Muscle Shoals Al when Duane Allman was a session guitarist there, awsome listening to Duane's riffs and Boz's vocals
