There’s not a single song on the Silk Degrees album that could not have been a hit, simply put just a CLASSIC album!!!

It's interesting to note that Boz Scaggs was being played on the radio at the same time as Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Montrose, Pink Floyd, and other heavy hitters. What a time.

Drummer is Jeff Porcaro from Toto. ❤

Need to check out “Lido Shuffle ” also. Most of the musicians on these Boz Skaggs songs ended up forming Toto. They were all studio musicians that Boz said “you guys should form a band”

Lido Shuffle is a stomper... Georgia... What Can I Say... Musicianship of Steely Dan levels throughout....

One of the biggest songs of it's time. Still sounds so fresh. You're right, EVERYTHING is on point. Such a groove!

This is a sample of the great music we had back in the day. We were so fortunate for music of the 60s, 70s and 80s. I miss those days. We were surrounded by great music and performers 24/7. Thanks to great YT channels such as yours that remind us of those times. Thanks for the great reaction on Boz Skaggs. 👏👏👏👍

Just saw him a few months back. He’s 79 and put on a hell of a show. Been a fan since the early 1970’s.

This man was on top in the mid to late 70s. So much soul. Boz Skaggs has been around a long time and was well respected by his peers in the music world, long before he became a household name in the 70s. Just so talented both as a guitarist and singer. He has a very distinctive vocal sound. Very smooth. His other huge hit from the 70s is called "Lido Shuffle." It's very good as well. Thanks Shawn

Blue-eyed soul at it’s best! Hard to believe these ‘70’s songs STILL sound better than anything today. A perfect song. Thanks!

My face hurts from smiling from watching you smile!!! Definitely do Jo Jo and Lido Shuffle.

Boz has a long storied music history. He was in the early Stever Miller Band, Steely Dan, and helped get Toto started.

Boz is smooth as silk. He has a great album called SOME CHANGE, with songs like "Sierra." "Lost It," "Time," "Illusion," "Call Me" "Follow That Man," and 'I'll Be The One." These are all hidden gems that show his soulful sound and songwriting skills. More Boz, please, Shawn. It's a rabbit hole you want to go down.

Silk Degrees was part of the soundtrack of my life.

I'm 55 so I turned 7 in 1976, the year this came out. EVERYBODY my parents knew had this album. Fun fact; most of the musicians on this album formed a band after they toured with Box in 1977. They named the band TOTO.

You’ve gotta hear his Lido Shuffle now!

Yeah! Boz! I was excited to see this! There’s not a bad song on this album… I wore it out back when it was out! Seriously, in my opinion, pick any of those songs & you will love it! Thank you so much! We love your reactions! 😀

You’ve got o listen to Lido Shuffle! Love Boz Skaggs. He and Steve Miller were buddies in school.

Most of the members in Boz's band here went on to form the band Toto, including the amazing drummer Jeff Porcaro.

That killer drum beat from TOTO's Jeff Porcaro is the perfect start to this cool track. That dude elevated everything he played on.

One of the rare albums where every song is a banger! You're gonna love this guy...

I’m so glad you discovered Boz! Great choice. I hope “ Lido Shuffle” is next. There’s many more and you’ll love them too. Thanks for doing this one!❤😀

Great groove here by Boz and the musicians backing him. For some nice ballads by Boz Scaggs check out “Look What You’ve Done To Me” from 1980 and “Heart Of Mine” from 1988.

Boz Scaggs can lay it down.

Love Boz Scaggs.Just so smooth and soft vibes.He started out playing with Steve Miller back in the day.

When I was in college, it seemed like everybody had this album. Every song was a banger, but this was the best!

"Georgia" by Boz Scaggs is one of my favorite songs ever.

This is the definition of what "groove" is. Many moments of just sitting back and mellowing!

The look on your face says it All..Silk Degrees is a Definite must, Not a bad song on it!!❤

Very few people remain seated when this came up in the dance clubs. It ruled the summer that year.

Loved this album since released in 1976...all tunes just fantastic..Scaggs, band and all nothing but fabulous...great reaction Shawn 🎶🎤🎸🇨🇦

SO full of flavor!!! And still fresh after decades!! Great reaction!! ☮️❤️

Boz is the best! Check out Lido Shuffle, Jojo, Breakdown Dead Ahead, Georgia, Miss Sun. There's a great live concert recording with lots of videos available from 2004 performed at the The Great American Music Hall. I highly recommend the live performances of Jojo and Look What You've Done to Me. The entire band is astounding! You'll love it!

You’ve landed on one of my favorites with Boz Scaggs. So smooth, so good. You could do this whole album. Lovely reaction. Peace …

that entire album is very good and won a ton of awards

That whole album is 🔥🔥. Wore my vinyl copy out more than once. Jeff Porcaro on drums, Louis Shelton on guitar solo and Boz’s smooth vocals so good.

Three members of Toto - inciuding Jeff Porcaro on drums - are playing on this track. Keys and bass also by Toto members. This whole album is exactly what it says it is - degrees of silk.

Loan Me a Dime is a great song he did in 1969 with Duane Allman and there is a great live version from a 2010 concert video. It's really long but worth it.

This is actually the song that John Travolta danced to in Saturday Night Fever originally but the record company didn’t want it used until they did a disco film. Goodbye Mr Godbar. The Bee Gees came to the rescue.

Loved this! ❤ Next one by Boz should be Lido Shuffle, although you can't go wrong, really, by choosing any of the songs off the Silk Degrees album

This album changed music… when this hit it kicked off the golden era of music production. Everybody involved blew up… the session players got offered a contract to create a band, so they put together Toto. Thats how hot this track was.

That whole album is great.

Boz Scaggs has always been silky smooth in everything he does, whether it's pop or blues or r&b. I didn't appreciate him nearly enough when I was young and he was riding the pop charts on a regular basis.

Back in the 70s disco days, I went to an underground club called "The Gallery." A good DJ builds the music up, then gives you a bit of a rest with a chill song that would reduce our crazy heartbeats! Well, the DJ played this every week in the morning, and that let us know the night was nearly over. We dancers were in ecstasy whenever we danced to Lowdown! Great memories

GOLD! Oh, I was right. Shawn loved it. Boz has so many cool grooves goin down. "Full of flavor, juicy" Hook, after hook. Stop, don't stop! Jeff is one fine drummer......no wonder Toto was so good.

Love the intro with the drums and the bass line... Sounds like the bass player is slapping.

Very cool and funky artist at the same time! Try his Lido Shuffle!

The arrangement and the musicians are fantastic! That’s why it was a hit!

Played this new song at my 21st birthday party...that was a looong time ago, but it's still a tune! 😊❤

Real music. With heart, feeling and meaning.

Enjoy your reactions, there’s 5 public pools in SF, Boz used workout at the Columbus park pool in the early 80’s, unfortunately I was at Balboa or Visatation but fellow lifeguards saw him all the time. I saw him once when he walked into a bar called the Saloon, where you belted out 2-3 songs just off the cuff, back in the day when SF was cool.

Boz Scaggs played in the early "Steve Miller Band" and toured with them occasionally in the 70's. When I saw them, Boz opened, then Steve Miller did his show, and then Boz came in and joined them for the last few songs and finale. If you find early Steve Miller albums you will likely have at least some Boz Scaggs on it with him.

Jeff Porcaro on drums and David Hungate on bass laying down the groove.

Boz is a writer, singer guitar player and has been around for a long time. That's him sitting on the bench.

Oh, there's so much more Boz to discover: If you like this song, you'll love Jo Jo. For more R&B Boz, check out What Can I Say and You Make It So Hard (To Say No). For more funky Boz check out Hercules and Angel Lady (Come Just in Time). For more rockin' Boz check out Lido Shuffle or Georgia. And for some of the smoothest ballads ever, check out Harbor Lights, Slow Dancer and We're All Alone. This is one of the classiest acts ever, Boz is THE MAN!

Great reaction as always, man. Such a smooth song and such a great album. I think my favorite of his though is Lido Shuffle. I bet you would absolutely love it. It's a total banger and it's got a great storytelling aspect to it. Both of those were on the radio all the time when I was a little kid and later I went out and bought the 45 RPM singles, but when I was in grade school, I couldn't wait until Lido Shuffle came back on the radio again, lol.

Shawn. I just want you to know I appreciate your reactions. I like the genuine appreciation of the music and also your eagerness to learn more. Sometimes I learn from you. Thank you.

Look What You’ve Done to Me

A must listen !! 70s groove and good production.

I remember every lyric every feel loving this from day one in 77❤

Truly the 70s had the best music👊

A few years ago I saw Boz Skaggs in concert. He is the singer. It was a great show. He is a cool guy.

I love love this song…such a feel good song!👍👏👏👏💜

I love EVERYTHING he does !!!!!

I actually never cared that much when I was a teenager but as I got older I realized how this album is great

One of my most played albums ever. Yes, every song a hit!

Shawn WILL love Boz.

For some reason, this reminds me of days past at Dover Street Wine Bar in London on a late Friday or Saturday night. Awesome song, awesome place. Such a groove.

Either you're the best undiscovered actor in the history of the world, (which I doubt - no offense) OR You are as you appear, one who appreciates fine music. We love you Man, great reactions and info dive at the end. You rock Dude!

I've still got my original album that was released in 1968.

Such a great song♥ Loved this reaction!

I had this on vinyl when it was NEW ha and it’s still fire, great album!!

His back up band for this album later came together to form the band Toto.

Every time this comes on the radio as I'm driving. I feel so bad ass.... Every time!

I still have this album and not a bad song on it. ✌️♥️🎶

Lido Shuffle!!

Love this song. Loved your reaction!

FYI.... Boz was a part of the Steve Miller band before his solo work!

Love Boz!

Hey Miss Sun next please! Then JoJo.

Shawn, if you have time check out LOAN ME A DIME it's Boz and Duane Allman together from 1969. Blues at it's finest, to say the least !

First time, this will be an eye opener! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

My life with 8 track tape, bell bottoms, Quiana shirt, platforms and disco lights! Great to be 18.

Just a great album. HARBOR LIGHTS is about the smoooothest song from this album, this genre and this era.

You gotta hear Lend Me A Dime... Duane Allman with Boz Skaggs

Check out "Loan Me a Dime" on his Self-titled first album. Killer guitar duel with Duane Allman

His Greatest Hits Live concert dvd is first rate. Highly recommended!

Silk Degrees is a perfect album, all the songs are killer.

The musicians are basically "TOTO" while they were first call studio players!

All of Silk Degrees is worth checking out, no question. A couple other songs not from that album are Slow Dancer, and Look What You've Done To Me, composed for a movie. I love Lowdown, Georgia, Lido Shuffle, and for some really nice more ballad-ey songs, Harbor Lights is great, and also We're All Alone. :)

Jeff Porcaro rip from ToTo on drums

Don't miss the boat, try Lido.

The last thing I heard from him (I don't if it's his absolute latest, just the last i know of), was from an album of jazz standards. He does a really nice version of "invitation".

You'd like Lido Shuffle

Gerat album as others have said!

“Lido Shuffle” next for a bit more of a pop groove feel. My favorite track off the Silk Degrees album.

Try "Lido Shuffle", "JoJo", "Look What You've Done To Me" and "We're All Alone".

SMOOOOOOOOOOTH!

One of my fave tracks ever ! I suggest you check out the O'Jays from the early 70s, 992 Arguments was not a big hit, but I bet you'll dig a lot of the LP version.

Major jam from back in the day 😅👍
