Salvo saying "Bring that synth back" without knowing the breakdown near the end of the song is nothing but pure synth candy goodness!

It’s Over, Harbor Lights, Jojo, Breakdown Dead Ahead and What Can I Say.

'Bring that synth back...' oh, it's coming back alright!

Boz Scaggs is the Man!!! Very Soulful!!! He's got soul!!!!

Boz Scaggs was one of my favorites back in the 70's

Boz was "the MAN" back in the day. Everyone was listening to him.

Youve got to check out the song "Somebody loan me a dime" by Boz Scaggs. Amazing bluesy song with Dwayne Allman on guitar. Its a treat.

I’ve never owned a stereo that would play this song loud enough

This is the classic Boz Scaggs lineup with David Paich, (keyboards including that amazing Synth solo), Jeff Porcao(drums) and David Hungate (bass) ( future foundation of the band Toto) driving the backing band

Never leaves your head once you've listened to it! 👍

My favorite song off one of my all time favorite albums. Every song on “Silk Degrees” is quality, polished, expertly arranged and produced. It’s one of the few albums I can listen to from start to finish and I don’t even think of skipping a track. For me, Lido Shuffle is my favorite followed by “Georgia”, “What Can I Say”, It’s Over”, “What Do You Want The Girl To Do”, “Jumpstreet”, “Love Me Tomorrow” and “Lowdown”. You should do an album reaction because “Silk Degrees” is 🔥

Love Boz! The whole album is excellent!

David Paich's synth solo is a standout. So TOTO.

I was on the verge of graduating college when this rolled out. I was also making a film for my independent study, and I had just secured the financing to shoot it in 1978. So this song latches on to some great memories!

Some of the backing musicians on this are members of Toto.

what I love about Boz Scaggs is he could even make disco palatable. that and that great unusual quality of his voice

This is one of the albums you should review. The whole album is great. The first time I heard the album I was in 10th grade, with my best friend, giggling like best friends do, another friend put the album on and from the first notes of 'What Can I Say' there was silence till the last note. We were hooked. There isn't a bad song on the album.

There was so much fantastic and influential music during the 70s. Boz was pretty prominent and shows-up is in a lot of my playlists. Thanks for another great flashback. Lovin' your react videos.

Boz Scaggs' Billy Joel' Bob Seger came to our ears about the same time. All had great hits.

Great song, so good you didn't even pause. The whole album is very good, one of my mom's favorites and that's how I got into it. "Georgia" "What Can I Say" "It's Over" and so on, all good.

Smooth as silk. We all had this album.

Boz used to play with the Steve Miller Band in the late '60's, now THERE'S a rabbit hole for you to go down, so many greats hits! "Jungle Love", "Take The Money And Run", "Fly Like An Eagle", "Rock'n Me", "The Joker", "Jet Airliner", "Abracadabra", etc...

There’s just something about this song. I sing along, dance & smile every time I hear it. So catchy!

I saw him live as the warm-up band for Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles during their 1976 tour. My first stadium concert- knocked my socks off! Fabulous.

Boz came out of the Austin music scene. Fantastic vocals and arraignments. Next one do "Love look what you've done to me"

Another song with great drumming with drummer Jeff Porcaro, the original drummer for the band Toto!

That one hits the spot.

Great song by a great artist. I remember being annoyed when it didn't break the top 10. Silk Degrees is one of my very favorite albums from the 70's.

Boz Scaggs is a vibe all his own. The entire "Silk Degrees" album is absolutely amazing, full of great songs. "Georgia" is one of my favorite songs. I never get tired of listening to it. I was 10 years old when this came out and remember loving Boz Scaggs even then.

Boz has a great, unique voice and style. He has several hits, but seems to be kind of a sleeper. I'd class him with Steely Dan as kind of a slightly jazzier rock.

Great song.......in fact, great album that I had when it first came out. Thanks Salvo!

This was an lp that you could use to evaluate someone's musical taste in those late 70's. That is they had this lp if they had ANY taste at all ! :-)

One of the best vocalist ever! A flavor all of his own.

My all time favorite artist. I've seen him so many times. 8 or 9 anyway. Call That Love is my favorite track but they are all good..

I was pretty much obsessed with Silk Degrees when it came out. Not a bad song on there. Harbor Lights shows the more pensive side of his music. Enjoyed your reaction, as always. Peace …

this is thE best album from Boz imo

I love the idea of Boz Scaggs writing a song called 'Lockdown' . . . Okay, quick go at some alternate lyrics: Baby’s into runnin’ round, she don’t wear no mask Coughin’ honkin’ in the street, that’s too great a task You say go home babe, it’s a lockdown day She say I got a right to roam I swear she gotta stay at home You better bring that chick around To the sad sad truth The dirty lockdown. Needs a bit of work to scan like the original but I wanted to get in early in case someone else had a go. A great mis-speak! Now I'll actually watch the video. Lido Shuffle was my first memory of a Boz song, so it must have been big in the UK. I do think I had the album, on cassette.

Another classic, epic album. Love Boz!

You just always pick the best songs, my friend! I was 9 years old when this came out, and I remember where I was and what I was doing when I first heard it. I've loved it since then, and to this day you'll still hear me playing it.

I could live in that groove and that drumbeat

I love everything he ever did

I shared a duplex with his bassist, in Sausalito, a small waterfront town just North of San Francisco. On his side of our shared two car carport was all the band stuff he had including his concert container that had boz scaggs stenciled on it. Used to warm my heart pulling into my side and seeing that. It was in ‘92, so well after their hay day, but still tickled.

Boz is PERFECT!

I love the whole album.

I was very young; when this album came out, but I sister owned, and we would listen to it all the time. I still have a copy of this album today. BTW; Boz has a song on this album called 'We're All Alone', which was covered by Rita Coolidge a few years later. She had a big hit with it; as well

Great and popular song played all the time on FM radio stations . One of the best albums of the 1970’s!

Thanks so much for reacting to Boz! He’s definitely got the groove. It’s not a bad song to get stuck in your head for a while either. I had this album and played it over and over. I hope you’ll get to see him while he’s touring. I sent you the dates.

Boz Scaggs is going to be at our local venue in 2 weeks. I have been on the fence about seeing him. This just may change my mind!! :)

A Boz Banger!!!

Great Albumn I was 15 when it hit. Still Good

I could listen to that synth part on repeat for hours.

I had forgotten how good this song really is. Great synth, yes. Great stuff all the way around. True classic.

Silk Degrees = one of the Top Ten Albums of all time! Tks Salvo!

Best Groove Ever !!😎

Had to go back and watch this a second time, love seeing your reactions to Boz. There's a lot more of him to discover. Jo Jo is a must hear. If you'd like a more tender side, try Slow Dancer or Harbor Lights. If you'd like to hear a Motown sound, try You Make It So Hard (To Say No) or What Can I Say. For a funkier side, try Angel Baby or Hercules. Or if you'd like a similar vibe to Lido, Georgia. Any way you choose, more Boz please!

Most reactors listen to "Lowdown" first, but I always preferred "Lido Shuffle" from the "Silk Degrees" album.

I love this guy!! Saw him at the Oakland Paramount theater in 1974. It was a black tie affair and he blew us all away. Boz was also a FANTASTIC Blues guitarist, if you want to hear his very early stuff, listten to Loan Me a Dime, one of his amazing blues songs.

Boz is simply GREAT!

Breakdown Dead Ahead is another great Boz Scagg's tune. He has such a nice unique sound. Love the backing vocals on Breakdown Dead Ahead (as I am currently listening to it).

I call those kinds of songs "happy songs". I hadn't heard it in decades ! However, I just listened to one of my favorite melodic/mellow/ romantic songs, Glen Campbell's Wichita Lineman. Would you guys like Salvo to react to it?

Every song on this album is fire. You need to do the whole thing.

Boz Scaggs best song in my opinion. Fun review. How about a little more Lara Fabian. My I suggest Adagio. It'll absolutely make you a big Lara fan.The live version is far better than the official video. It is from the famous From Lara with Love concert in Montreal.

Great song. Boz Skaggs was awesome.

Loved this song from the day it first came on the radio many years ago!!! Fun to play on the drums too! Great shuffle beat!

Good rocking tune here love you

BOZ SCAGGS .....this album came out when I was 20...! Heck this transported me back!

I don't know if anyone's suggested this but "Love, Look.What You've Done To Me" is an amazing ballad.

There are two epic live performance videos of "Lido Shuffle" on YT. He's older and sounds even better! A must see!

I was all over the place with music during this time Boz was different, cool. I didn't like punk or disco! Searched for years for a new genre. No luck. Back to the classic rock for me!

Boz went to the same little high school as Steve Miller...... fun fact 😊

I always enjoy watching you enjoy watching music. You really get into it, which reminds me of my younger self.

Reminds me of 8th grade! 🎉

Listen to the live version from early 2000’s by Boz where he sings this song but also Look What You’ve Done To Me which is stunning.

Love this song!! Would love to see you react to Rare Earth!! I just want to celebrate and I know I'm losing you . Live please.

Boz is the man 😎

Tidy track that one. ;o)

I was 20-21 hitting the bars and this was playing a lot!!

This song cooks!!

Love your channel! We (my wife actually) owns that record. She introduced me musically to him as well as Steely Dan. Again, good stuff.

was in Christchurch New Zealand when this came out, pretty sure it was end of 76 in NZ. . . when the dance craze was going. . . good mems

Check out Loan Me a Dime by Boz. Duane Allman on guitar and Memphis Horns. Starts slow and bluesy and just builds to banger. Believe me bro you'll love it.

Its time for more Chicago. “If You Leave Me Now” (studio recording)

Love your reactions! I'm begging and pleading you to react to at least two great Boz Skaggs tunes from a 2004 performance at The Great American Music Hall: Jojo, and Breakdown Dead Ahead. There's a Boz Skaggs Live album from this concert. The entire band, and especially the two back up vocalists (Monet Owens and Barbara Wilson) will absolutely blow your mind. And that's a promise!

I love Boz ! I felt it was a closet love because not many people heard of him , thank you for refreshing my memory of simple breezy days . Thank you my new friend . Hay I have a huge suggestion for you 10 million views in 4 months a son called "Hi Ren" by Ren . different genius . you will shake your head and feel it in your bones.

Every song on "Silk Degrees" is worthy of your time reviewing it. Also do "Breakdown Dead Ahead". Another song that is great but off the beaten track for most Boz fans I think. I've only recently discovered it. It is called "The Last Tango on 16th Street". There are so many more I Could name. He does a lot of blues stuff as well

Sal , U Rockin it.. dont stop / thanks

this awesome song was part of the soundtrack to my BEST SUMMER...1 I was 16 ,1977 on Orcas Island WA...Rosario Resort...google it...hasnt changed much

Silk Degrees isa fabulous album

When this song was first released, I thought for months he was referring to Duke Leto from Dune, the novel, and it wasn't until I saw how "Lido" was spelled that I was disabused of that notion. Although, I still think the Dune character (and his grandson after the second novel) inspired the name of the shuffle. Do I know that for sure? No, but hey, a fan can hope.

The whole Silk Degrees album is fire. i went to see my brother at Cleveland Institute of Music and EVERYONE was blasting it out. Not only the up-tempo songs are great as people have said, it has two ballads "Harbor Lights" and "We're All Alone" that are fantastic - one of my top 5 albums of all time.

You need to check out his live (2004) version of “Look What You’ve Done to Me”

Boz is incredible! You have to checkout Loan Me A Dime w/ Duane Allmanon slide guitar!!

Great job. You have to do the live version of Low Down. The best 👌

5:14 ✨ Listen to Low Down

☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥

I read or saw vid of her saying how ashamed she is to look back at these and how coked out she was. I never would have known that and always thought that was just her and bad a**. Kinda sad. She rocked through it all. Now Mick Fleetwood and his crazy looks…yeah COKE!

Check out Boz Scaggs and Duane Allman on Lend Me a Dime.

Take a listen to The Wall by Kansas off left overture, really good album.

I miss the tree reference? but this tune is really good.

Silk Degrees is an amazing album, but so we’re the two followups (Down two, then left) and Middle Man try Breakdown Dead Ahead and JoJo
