I was 19 when this song came out. I thought that voice belonged to some soulful black man. But this guy Boz wasnt black, even though he sang like that. I'm 63 now. Still love Boz!!!
An overnight success was Boz.. been at it since '65. I was 12 when this made the UK Charts in '76! .. knew he was a white guy, as he was on 'Top Of The Pops' in the UK.. absolutely brilliant performer and back-up... forgot to add Mario Biondi and Chaka Khan do a reasonable attempt t the tune.. th-cam.com/video/q09gKzfrSr8/w-d-xo.html
Boz (also) fooled me as a young Black Kid. I almost started a Civil Rights Riot in our 2nd-3rd Grade Classroom over it:):):) Prior to Lowdown, couldn't name a similar Pop Artist or Song similar,...I can't. It even won an R&B Grammy for best R&B Song. But Michael McDonald didn't get that same chance to fool me as a yute. Saw him on "What's Happening" first:):)
Don't forget Louis Shelton who's playing guitar on this song... He actually demonstrated it on here on TH-cam. His resume includes Marvin Gaye, Simon and Garfunkel, Stevie Wonder, Boz Scaggs, Gladys Knight & the Pips, the Jackson 5, Neil Diamond, John Lennon, Barbra Streisand, the Carpenters, the Mamas & the Papas, Glen Campbell, Ella Fitzgerald, the Partridge Family, James Brown, Diana Ross, Otis Spann, Whitney Houston, Joe Cocker, Kenny Rogers, Henry Mancini, Dave Grusin, Quincy Jones, Lalo Schifrin and Victor Wooten.[5] He played the guitar solo on Lionel Richie's hit "Hello", Boz Scaggs's "Lowdown" and David Gates' "Do You Believe He's Coming".
One of the greatest songs of all time. It sounds fresh even after 47 years! This was the first album I bought in college in 1976. The whole album is a masterpiece.
I was used to getting in the truck with my dad. We’d always work long days when I’d join him. But he’d always treat me to lunch. One day a hopped in, and he was playing Boz. I asked him what it was. He told me. I told him I didn’t like it. So he changed it to KNBR680 Bay Area. I never forgot that sound and that moment my father and I shared. A son telling his dad he didn’t understand. I come back to all the music my father liked now that he’s gone. I feel like I’m there with him now.❤
Guessing, too Soulful (voice) for pop and not R&B enough for Soul. But he did win an R&B Grammy back-n-the-day for LowDown. His hits after that were more pop than (LowDown) Soul. That and he refused to have LowDown on the "Saturday Night Fever" Soundtrack. He allowed it on some other movie that didn't make a $.05:) If he'd allowed LD to be on Saturday Night Fever, would he be more revered, probably by others but not by me. And I love the movie and soundtrack.
@@markjackson6134 That other movie was "Looking for Mr. Goodbar." Neither Boz nor his people thought a movie about some disco dancer would have any impact. Oops.
@@doom_81 Hell yes he was. Jeff was particularly prolific as a session drummer for *hundreds* of bands, but he's probably best known as the drummer for Toto. Yes, that's him you hear on the excellent song "Africa."
Jeff Porcaro is just fantastic at the very start of the track coupled with the little guitar riffs. The funkiest opening to a fabulous track. It's in my all time top 10 tracks. Black Cow by Steely Dan is and always will be my Number 1.
I loved this Man I thought he was black Boz alway the Boss The Bay Area loved him and still do my favorite song by him bring me to the best yrs with me and my late husband us being the Bay and my husband was musician and chef and we had great time in San Francisco together I’m 72 yrs it been 7 yrs since I lost him to cancer thank u tube for this video
I have been loving this song for 45 years. It never gets old, I get the same chills every time, and it has got to be one of THE finest rock songs ever. RIP Jeff, you are missed.
BOZ is the coolest man on two feet , singing street slang before it was so hip to do. I wonder who taught him how to talk like that yeah I wonder wonder wonder whoooooo !!!!!!
@Paul Brownsville, Brooklyn here. Black style and vernacular is always copied. I have nothing to prove. Study history and take a look around. The word is called "cooptation". Or in other words..."Columbus-ing."
@Paul So Black jazz artists never came to Greenwich Village and L.E.S? Black poets and writers like Leroi Jones who later became Amiri Baraka, never performed and hung out in those places, and impacted those areas with their styles. Being 'hip' was and still is infected by Blackness.
The first time I heard this was in 1976 in 8th grade. My homeroom teacher was a huge fan of this album amd used to play ot in the classroom during "open period". I loved it then and love it today. Love me some Boz!!
@Amy Adams, Ahh homeroom. Way off topic of music, but I had a "homeroom" (I forgot about that term lol), she was chemistry teacher and she thought it was funny to play "Neutron Dance" by the Pointer Sisters. Now, back to our regularly schedule music of Boz Scaggs. The low low low lowww DOWN.
OK, if you're new "To This Here Game" here's others to peep: Boz Scaggs, JoJo; ToTo, Georgy Porgy, 99, and I Won't Hold You Back; Doobies, Real Love, What A Fool Believes, and It Keeps You Running; Bruce Hornsby, The Way It Is; Christopher Cross, Ride Like the Wind; Steely Dan, Peg; Eagles, One of These Nights. If you like those I can recommend others.
@@markjackson6134 that's a great selection and many of my favs! I would have recommended these as well. If you want to get some real great Jeff grooves, there's also Michael McDonald "I keep forgetting"....
Well said. Absolutely. Avant Music has a little seen video of Larry Carlton, with Jeff Porcaro in the band, live recording it appears. Do check it out, ace playing.
Dirty Lowdown! I love that song! The rythmn, the beat! Everything about this song is right on! Boz Scaggs has a momentous, phenomenol and excitement style of his song. This song added a whole new meaning to the disco era of the 70s and is still in sync with the music of today. It was the bomb!!
Boy, does this bring back memories and they seem so fresh! Amazing time in our history. Never again will people see this or relate and understand exactly how fantastic life was back then.... actual musical talent that is not repeated and don't seem to be ever going to be! Greatest time EVER to be in your twenties and single, the night life was something people can't comprehend or ever experience, so sad....I count myself extremely lucky to live in this time period because it's absolutely NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN, NOTHING REMOTELY CLOSE.
One of the best live musicians. Great choir with three pretty women. A unique orchestra. Such wonderful music does not exist anymore today. I'm proud, I was still able to experience it!
This video version has good sound quality despite being decades old, and you can tell he's in the groove. One of those rare videos of the soulful 70s and 80s that should be preserved for history
I was, and still am, a HUGE Boz fan. I used to listen to his albums over, and over, and over. Just couldn't get enough. Just got a reminder about his music , so decided to take a trip down memory lane here tonight. I STILL love this guy!!
Saw him in Wichita KS last month. He’s almost 80 and still got it. He’s so gracious and humble when showcasing his band members. The Orpheum Theater was jammed with people mostly over 50 years old. Best show I’ve ever seen!
Not many songs deserve to be called “timeless”, but this is definitely one of them. Could have been made yesterday-first time I heard it I thought it WAS made yesterday…
Im in awww. I just adore this music. I remember hearing it in the 70's but I thought the singer was African American. I just recently heard it again on the radio and it took me back to my childhood. I give much thanks and appreciation to Mr. Boz Scaggs for bringing such a timeless classic to us to enjoy. I hope he is doing well. Every time I play this master piece I have to keep repeat it over and over again.
@@beautifulcat2023 not sure, but notably Louis Shelton credited for writing and recording the solo in studio. Member of the LA Wrecking Crew studio guys with shocking amounts of credits.
Yesss me too i would love to just beam myself back to 1970s and experience the clubs the music the clothes even the drugs back then were better lol everything
I was hitting clubs on Long Island NY back in the mid to late 70’s. Silk Degrees was the background music to my nights back then. Those were phenomenal times. The music of Boz is timeless. The next album was Down Two Then Left and had more great dance songs on it. I miss those times. A different word back then for sure.
In 1977 I enlisted in the US Navy and after bootcamp I attended the Armed Forces school of music. This song was played on a regular rotation amongst other songs on this album! I am a drummer and Jeff Porcaro is definitely one of my favorites!! RIP
Lowdown won the Grammy for Best R&B Song. The song was written by David Paich of Toto. Some Toto members were also involved in the production of the song.
I loved Boz Scaggs since the early 70s when he his music was more blues based. Low-Down is still my favorite song from his late 70s period. This is an incredible performance of Boz and I believe for the most part the band Toto with Les Dudek on guitar. I wish that their was a full video of this concert available of Boz and this band.
This will never get old because real music 🎶 lasts a lifetime and beyond. Boz was a complete beast and no matter what his complexion is, he’s definitely a Soul Brother. Same goes for my boy Michael McDonald. Classic music 🎶 will never die.
Saw the man for first time in 1977 at the University of Southern Mississippi! Blew me away then, still doing it today! His birthday is on June 8, ( I believe) so Happy Birthday Boz! You still can roll with the best of them!!!

Same here..thought he was black. Love me some Box Scaggs at 72.
Same here. But he was white. I found out he was Boz. Bought the 45 and he became my favorite since the 70’s. I’m 71 now and and listening to him now.
I just had the same exact conversation with my husband tonight 😂!!!!!

Absolutely…
🙏
Agree!!
Just couldn't have said it better!!!
Just the Way he performed on that Track 🎵 👣 👣 👣 🎶
IMPECCABLE!!!
Definitely
I swear since the 1980s ive thought that song was sung by a Philly or Motown black dude! Until today!!!😂
I grew up on this. My mom played this. Of course Hall & Oats sounds like they are black too LOL.
I was 8 yrs old when I heard this song, 1976
Me, too. Blew me away.
The blackest, whitest Dude I know---the koolest cool---The Boz! Love The Boz and always will---The Dirty Lowdown!!!
Bring the check around to the sad and dirty low down
This song never gets old. A certified timeless classic. Thank you, Boz Scaggs.
Just bring the check around to that sad dirty lowdown.
Boz, Paich, Porcaro brothers, Carolyn Willis, Les Dudek…all-star band right there
Don't forget Louie Shelton.
no kidding wow yeah I miss the 70's
Don't forget Louis Shelton who's playing guitar on this song... He actually demonstrated it on here on TH-cam. His resume includes Marvin Gaye, Simon and Garfunkel, Stevie Wonder, Boz Scaggs, Gladys Knight & the Pips, the Jackson 5, Neil Diamond, John Lennon, Barbra Streisand, the Carpenters, the Mamas & the Papas, Glen Campbell, Ella Fitzgerald, the Partridge Family, James Brown, Diana Ross, Otis Spann, Whitney Houston, Joe Cocker, Kenny Rogers, Henry Mancini, Dave Grusin, Quincy Jones, Lalo Schifrin and Victor Wooten.[5] He played the guitar solo on Lionel Richie's hit "Hello", Boz Scaggs's "Lowdown" and David Gates' "Do You Believe He's Coming".
Brilliant track, great drumming by the then young multi talented Jeff Porcaro who would have reached 70 years old today RIP
One of the greatest songs of all time. It sounds fresh even after 47 years! This was the first album I bought in college in 1976. The whole album is a masterpiece.
Seriously! My fav karaoke song, when I sing it people really take notice.
No it's not! "Of all time".
Think you are being a bit of a silly billy @dancrawley6582.
Silk Degrees!
Me too !!!
I was used to getting in the truck with my dad. We’d always work long days when I’d join him. But he’d always treat me to lunch. One day a hopped in, and he was playing Boz. I asked him what it was. He told me. I told him I didn’t like it. So he changed it to KNBR680 Bay Area. I never forgot that sound and that moment my father and I shared. A son telling his dad he didn’t understand. I come back to all the music my father liked now that he’s gone. I feel like I’m there with him now.❤
Beautiful blessed memories. Make me tear up 🕊️
Same. 💖@@angeliquenova7440
80's baby....love this song 🎉
Boz has always been generous giving his band members and back up singers their spotlight in all his concerts. A sheer gentleman.
Exactly my dear great point out
It's true¡¡¡
It's a shame that Boz's guitar skills aren't more widely appreciated. He's an amazing guitarist.
Hmm 😊
Yes, he collaborated with the Almighty Duane Allman too
Why isn't Boz Scaggs more of an icon? Amazing song writer, musician and such a voice.
he is in certain circles. just only had 3-4 years of high visibility. too funky and jazzy for some. i love his music myself.
Guessing, too Soulful (voice) for pop and not R&B enough for Soul. But he did win an R&B Grammy back-n-the-day for LowDown. His hits after that were more pop than (LowDown) Soul. That and he refused to have LowDown on the "Saturday Night Fever" Soundtrack. He allowed it on some other movie that didn't make a $.05:) If he'd allowed LD to be on Saturday Night Fever, would he be more revered, probably by others but not by me. And I love the movie and soundtrack.
@@markjackson6134 That other movie was "Looking for Mr. Goodbar." Neither Boz nor his people thought a movie about some disco dancer would have any impact. Oops.
I think taking a long hiatus for most of the '80s also didn't help.
@@BingBangByedidn't that movie have rape or murder in it? Oh ya..the girl stabbing the guy or him stabbing her
the drummer his doing his business on this song!
That's the late great Jeff Porcaro!
Such a great drummer. Amazing. R.I.P
@@doom_81 Hell yes he was.
Jeff was particularly prolific as a session drummer for *hundreds* of bands, but he's probably best known as the drummer for Toto.
Yes, that's him you hear on the excellent song "Africa."
That’s Jeff Porcaro❤ Legend
Jeff Porcaro is just fantastic at the very start of the track coupled with the little guitar riffs. The funkiest opening to a fabulous track. It's in my all time top 10 tracks.
Black Cow by Steely Dan is and always will be my Number 1.
Always thought a black man sang this 😂 his voice is cool AF
And most people thought Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis were white. Does it really matter? LOL.
He's from Detroit so it's evident that he absorbed the Urban culture
@@MGB18 I don't know anybody who thought Johnny Mathis and Nat Cole were White. That's your fever dream.
I didn't know he was Canadian .What a man yumm💋
Jeff Porcaro, the best drummer ever! Written on the day his father, Joe, passed away. RIP Jeff, Joe and Mike
And Steve Porcaro too.
@@beverlymcnamara9483 has he died??
@@audreydakin8130 Still alive and kickin'
Don’t forget Jeff’s son Miles . That is kinda fing important.
YES, what a Talented family. God speed Steve.
The name of a british punk rocker and the voice of a soulful black man
Jeff Porcaro is killing it...damn!! What a grooving drummer gone way too soon.
He really was amazing.
You know the drummer is something special when you can't help but focus on his part in a great song.
I never thought he was recognized enough, great voice, great musicians - all of them! ❤
Jeff Porcaro so young when he played drums for Boz Scaggs and yet he was already a master.
I was Today old (57) when I realized this was not a Black man responsible for this song. Holy shit, I'm floored.
June 8, 2024
Happy Birthday, sir!
80 yrs old today and still as relevant as ever. I am lucky to be alive in your lifetime. Thank you for the music.
I loved this Man I thought he was black Boz alway the Boss The Bay Area loved him and still do my favorite song by him bring me to the best yrs with me and my late husband us being the Bay and my husband was musician and chef and we had great time in San Francisco together I’m 72 yrs it been 7 yrs since I lost him to cancer thank u tube for this video
The bassist deserved some attention 🙂
true indeed
No cell phone back then, you lived in the moment
Beautiful.
I have been loving this song for 45 years. It never gets old, I get the same chills every time, and it has got to be one of THE finest rock songs ever. RIP Jeff, you are missed.
BOZ is the coolest man on two feet , singing street slang before it was so hip to do. I wonder who taught him how to talk like that yeah I wonder wonder wonder whoooooo !!!!!!
Street slang or "Black english" was always hip...and was on records before Boz.
@Paul Brownsville, Brooklyn here. Black style and vernacular is always copied. I have nothing to prove. Study history and take a look around.
The word is called "cooptation". Or in other words..."Columbus-ing."

@Paul So you speak the way you speak by osmosis? No cultural influences impacted you whatsoever? It just sorta..."happened".

Never Get Tired of Listening to This One Masterpiece, Work of Art by Paich, Porcaro & Scaggs！❤🎉😊

Pop music today is nowhere as good as this!!! Real music played by real musicians!! 2020....You’ve driven me into the arms of the 70’s!!!
This is Toto with Boz Scaggs singing. Excellent
Minus Lukather, which is saying a lot.
I’m late to the party .... new fan here. This music is pure joy. I’m enjoying these masterpieces in August 2020.
Great smile Carolyn 😉
Same story here... Love this music so much...

The curtain comes up and the guitar solo is so Steely Dan.. Love it..
Great Band, the Porcaro Brothers and the incomparable Les Dudek on lead guitar!
This is how you play the drums, it never gets tiring.Amazing

Boz has tremendous talent.
My favorite video of Lowdown.....❤❤
Still groovin to this masterpiece in 2024. Boz is boss!❤
Anyone else get the chills when it first cuts to Jeff? I must have watched this version 30 times for that intro alone.
Well said. Absolutely. Avant Music has a little seen video of Larry Carlton, with Jeff Porcaro in the band, live recording it appears. Do check it out, ace playing.
@@karljennings5910 thank you! I absolutely will
I searched TH-cam for Sony and Cher tv show and sure enough there is a young Jeff Porcaro playing drums!
Yes
Absolutely! Jeff in this video is why I started drumming!
I'm on a learning curve
I thought boz scaggs was black
Unusual voice and delivery
I like it I like it a lot !
Jeff's hi hat is incomparable...!!
Dirty Lowdown! I love that song! The rythmn, the beat! Everything about this song is right on! Boz Scaggs has a momentous, phenomenol and excitement style of his song. This song added a whole new meaning to the disco era of the 70s and is still in sync with the music of today. It was the bomb!!
omg 1977 this hit will never die, Boz!
Boy, does this bring back memories and they seem so fresh! Amazing time in our history. Never again will people see this or relate and understand exactly how fantastic life was back then.... actual musical talent that is not repeated and don't seem to be ever going to be!

So classy back in the day.

Great sense of humor. I have loved boz for over 40 years and it never gets old.
This video version has good sound quality despite being decades old, and you can tell he's in the groove. One of those rare videos of the soulful 70s and 80s that should be preserved for history
That bass is so funky tho 🔥
It was originally David Hungate, late of Toto.
I was, and still am, a HUGE Boz fan. I used to listen to his albums over, and over, and over. Just couldn't get enough. Just got a reminder about his music , so decided to take a trip down memory lane here tonight. I STILL love this guy!!
When I was a youngster thought this was a soul brother but he has our black 👸🏽on the background for that pure soul 💪🏾can you dig it
R.I.P. Jeff Porcaro 🥁

66 years old, I remember when it came out, 1976 one of my favorites
Love the Boz! I play this all the time. I was 25 living in Hawaii at the Tom &. a lot of musicians tried to duplicate his music ❤️
This drum part. So simple yet so addictive.
Jeff Porcaro at his absolute best!
its not simple at all.. he makes it sound simple.. because he's a machine
@@rickyrealistgoestowashingt6965 It's a simple pattern. I didn't say easy to play this well.
One of the most memorable guitar riffs ever played.
Uh. Flute??
Who is the guy on guitar?
@@beautifulcat2023 not sure, but notably Louis Shelton credited for writing and recording the solo in studio. Member of the LA Wrecking Crew studio guys with shocking amounts of credits.
@@beautifulcat2023 it looked a little like Les Dudeck??

Happy Birthday to the Master. Listened to his music my whole adult life.
This song makes me want to experience this era for myself. I can imagine the clubs back then 😢😩

Hell yeah, one of the best
God gave Jeff the gift of groove. Then Jeff and God elevated the gift.
Michael and Steve are in the video as well.
He’s one of the best but I can still think of a few peers
word
Love seeing the (self-depracating) humor at the beginning of this video!
Jeff in this live was only 25 years old... And it already had a fanyistic groove. dear jeff rip 🙏❤
Master of the Groove RIP Jeffrey Porcaro
LOVE how the song suddenly kicks into overdrive at 4:35 and everyone looks like they're having a great time!
In 1977 I enlisted in the US Navy and after bootcamp I attended the Armed Forces school of music. This song was played on a regular rotation amongst other songs on this album! I am a drummer and Jeff Porcaro is definitely one of my favorites!! RIP
Boss is the Best ever ❤️ 🎉
I was a kid when these songs came out. They were and remain epic. No one talks about it in the media, but these songs will last centuries.
Too true ,but we'll never forget .
What a badass fat groove Jeff lays down with the bass player starting at 0:57 Miss you Jeff....
The Bass Player is his Brother Mike!
Jeff was a gift on Drum kit.
The 70s--the best music.
Lowdown won the Grammy for Best R&B Song. The song was written by David Paich of Toto. Some Toto members were also involved in the production of the song.
When that bass starts it's frigging magic
No, when Jeff Porcaro starts his awesome drumming the magic starts!
BASS & DRUMS!☺
I loved Boz Scaggs since the early 70s when he his music was more blues based. Low-Down is still my favorite song from his late 70s period. This is an incredible performance of Boz and I believe for the most part the band Toto with Les Dudek on guitar. I wish that their was a full video of this concert available of Boz and this band.
Thanks for identifying Les Dudek! I’ve been wondering for a long time who played the guitar solo!
Man got soul. Sing brotha SING!!!!!
Such a memorable song . Where did all the beautiful music go ? Please bring it back , God❤🙏🏼
The rotten and corrupt music industry won't ever allow music of this caliber become mainstream ever again!
I was 6. I freekin love this tune. So funky
Boz, we love you - you didn't only define an era, you transcended it completely! You are absolutely amazing....thank you!
This will never get old because real music 🎶 lasts a lifetime and beyond.
Boz was a complete beast and no matter what his complexion is, he’s definitely a Soul Brother.
Same goes for my boy Michael McDonald.
Classic music 🎶 will never die.
This cool cat has soul and funk! Boz Scaggs! Love the backup singers too!
One of the very best songs ever
Saw the man for first time in 1977 at the University of Southern Mississippi! Blew me away then, still doing it today! His birthday is on June 8, ( I believe) so Happy Birthday Boz! You still can roll with the best of them!!!
He is the best. Silk degrees was awesome. Not a bad sing on it
I was 16 when this came out. I truly lived through the Golden age of music
Listening to Casey Kasem's top 40 right now. This week in 1976. Total perfection.
Love his music. I was 3 in 77'. Handsome too. Very talented as well, his music was played in my home often
And Boz himself said “there wasn’t a chance in hell Lowdown would be released as a single”. Look where this song has gotten him since.
I know!!! I was a kid when I first heard this (about 6 or 7) on R&B Radio and knew it was a hit???? It won an R&B Grammy:):)
Why? Because it's a song a drug dealin'?
@@charlie-obrien Songs have been successful that preceded LD and after about drugs. The 60s-80s is littered with such songs.
I love this song since I was a teenager, today I'm 64 and I still listen to it and just love it!!!!
Boz and Jeff ! What a grooving team ! Thanks guys.
This will always remind me of the summer of '76 when I was 21 and on my way to college in the south. What amazing times they were!!! 😊
Love those back up singers!
La migliore musica? Ovviamente quella anni '70 🎶 🎶
