That's awesome bro !!! I am most likely around his age (63) and Boz was the man in the 70s for a short time, but his music is still good shit !!! 😎✊️🎶🎶🎶🎶
Well. I’m almost 78. Love this music Dancing around my kitchen. 😀😀😀. Going to introduce to my yoga club tomorrow. Usually it’s Pete Tong. Goes great with. Qgong tapping plus cross crawl exercises. Good for left and right brain balance to start and warm up. Then on to some series chill music for yoga and meditation. We need balance all things Loud and quiet. Light and dark. The 80 yr olds love it 😀😀 🌈💜
😅 I'm currently a 31 year old and always had this playing thanks to my parents in my childhood years. May y'all OG's continue to rock on to this!!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Much love and peace ✌🏽🕊️ world wide!
Is there anyone else out there, That when you listen to music like this. Think back to how old you were and how care free life was, As a 61 yr old man who has lost both parents and some friends, This song almost makes me want to cry.
@@diggy-d8w I was 27 in the summer of 1976... worked up in the mountains of the Catskills...but listened to NYC FM stations through the cable service they had in the hotel I worked...How I long for those days!!!
I am a black man and I love this song. Boz Scaggs actually has some soul. I love the arrangement, the vocal, and the lyrics. This is one damn good song.
That's funny. I didn't realize Soul music had a color. I am Mexican and have played bass for 20 plus years. Mainly Blues,Motown, R&B and never knew that soul had a color. What about funk? Does it have a color? I know plenty of black musicians that can't bring the funk!
That’s what happens when you combine Boz’s incredible talent and songwriting with Jeff Porcaro on drums, David Hungate on bass, and David Paich on keyboards (who also co-wrote 6 songs and arranged the whole album). Essentially, showcasing the first three members of what would, in just one year, become TOTO.
I miss my Dad so much. He use to play these guys loud in the garage while working on whatever project he had at the moment. Cant wait to see him in the sky.
As a kid I always thought this guy was black.😂 My dad[Rip] had very great taste in music with a massive record collection and Average White Band, Steely Dan were some phenomenal groups
On the night I met the love of my life at the disco, this was the the song being played when I first asked her if she would like to dance. Thanks Boz for helping launch a beautiful lifetime
74 this, black Toronto girl who just loved good music no matter who sang and played it. I tell my grand children that Good is Good music is Universal, like what you like and always have Music in your Heart❤❤❤
@CapitanPeso Man, you say Chicano, and my mind goes straight to Carlos Santana!! He was rockin when I was a baby and I love everything he has ever done!! Carlos playing the Salmon made by PRS... good times! ❤️🎶❤️ I listen to both him and Boz all the time - both fantastic musicians with tunes that will live forever!
It's hard to pick my favorite from all the gems on Silk Degrees. But I'd have to say this one is, mostly due to the bassline. David Hungate lays down a hell of a groove.
78 years young. Still listening Sept 2024. Remembering driving my Volkswagen Westphalia camper listening to this song on cassette wondering where I'd sleep tonight..
totally agree!!! as a teenager in the 80s techno pop was my thing,but with time I moved on to other musics snd styles and found out I could soend the rest if my life listening to the music of the decade late sixties to late seventies,my God they friggin had everything,snd most of it good! any average composition from this time makes any present pop song sound ridiculously lame and silly...
Damn right! His Toto partner Steve Lukather summed up best: There were a lot of guys who played faster or with more chops, but there is no living soul alive who played a groove like him. When you think of drums, a lot of people think of technique, but really, drums are a rhythm instrument, and the basis of all music is the rhythm. And the basis of all grooves is the drums. I could play just straight 8th notes, and he could play something and it would make me sound Godlike. It's all finesse. It's that little extra something. You either have it or you don't. He was touched by God when he was born.
This isn't Boz Scaggs answering you here. He's only left this comment on women's channels! He will try and get you to join you on Whatsapp. Be very aware! It's a scam!!
Give everything I have to get music back the way it was in the 70's. The music today lacks heart, creativity, and Star power. I do not listen to today's music at all. One or two songs in 5 years maybe are worth listening to. I take myself back to the days of my HS years and just relax to the best music the world has ever know. 60/70's. None better.
I'm 47 and have been white knuckling through life not paying attention or being open to different things. Something happened and I'm awake and discovering all of the things I've missed along the way. This is a great song and I'm so thrilled and thankful to discover the great things I've missed.
You lived in the sweet spot man, big time! I envy my dad who just turned 80. He was around for Elvis. He was around for the golden age of Jazz. He was around for the 70's and experienced some of the best music in decades. He even lived through the advent of the computer age and the Internet, even if later in life.
Huge Boz Scaggs fan, went to boarding school with his son Oscar Scaggs, who tragically died of an overdose on new years eve 1999. RIP my friend. You are missed.
You are blessed.. This funky white bloke is the original soul brother. Respect from England and l hope that the fourth generation will have the same tastes.
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤❤ I lost both of my parents on the same day 😢😢😢😢😢in 2020 at home in hospice care I was watching them die slowly from Dad cronic COPD & Diebtes Mom stage 4 kidney disease and Alzheimer's disease....... They left behind 14 children 9 girls and 5 boys..... I've seeing a psychiatrist twice week from my fiance stage 4 cancer of the esophagus he died in my arms at the hospital 😢😢😢😢 When someone you love dies 💔 in your arms your traumatized 💔 for life..😢😢😢 Thanks in advance for ready my comment 🤗🌹🌹
@@islandgirl9479I hear ya RE: permanent trauma from losing a loved 1. W/that said; steer clear of psych meds. I know that it's probably not the proper 4um 2 address such issues but since u did bring the matter up as it pertains 2 seeing a psychiatrist; I just wanna in4m u accordingly.
Jeff Porcaro’s drum kit front and center - such a lovely groove and he sustains it for five minutes. Paich’s composing and keyboards are perfection. And Boz tells the story with such soul. Boz and David (Paich) never thought this one would be a hit, but here we are decades later. It’s still fresh and still a hit. And that is the lowdown on “Lowdown”.
Though young, was there when it came out and stopped what I was doing the 1st time I heard it and even understood most of the lyrics as a kid:). But it was a hit out the box as soon as that DJ (in Cleveland or Cincy) started playing it from the album. And guessing sometime in the 90s I read they didn't think it would be a hit. Which should tell you how hard that process is.
And that is how to teach the kids today to appreciate GOOD MUSIC! My Father, God Rest his Mighty Soul and my Dear Mother were wise enough to turn us kids on to All The Greats while we grew up. Now I have one of the most well rounded appreciation of music that could be!!! Well Done!!!
I lived in Southern Nevada and met a friend that drummed and was from the the Hollywood area. We talked about bands and musicians and the subject of Boz Scaggs. He said Jeff Porcaro died a while back. I didn't sleep that night. But I dreamed I saw his tomb. Years later I found his marker in the online. It was just like the dream. Rest In Peace Jeff Porcaro. My friend and musician brother.
I used to practice the drum part. drove me crazy trying to get the hi-hats right. ..... until I listened on headphones and realized that the hats weren't done on one take and are doubled on the recording
When my dad played this.. a good mood was on. Greatest of memories dancin with him. He's 81 now n I'm 50.. I should put this on next time I'm over n grab his hand to dance!
Absolutely... Lucky girl.... I don't know what music my father listened to. He always had head phones on.... Drag.... I think it was elevator music..at least from what I saw. Which makes no sense. He was a pretty Cool guy. He'd be 97 now. Or 98. I've googled early RB and jazz. And some things never change. I LOLed again the other day. Seeing what they were singing about .. Even in like the 20's.
Jeff Porcaro is simply one of the best since he was a kid. What a family tree of musicians, his dad had him on the right path when he was younger. ❤️🙏❤️
I grew up in the 70s and was unaware of how great it was. Post Vietnam National Hangover and guilt because the hippies lost the war. Drugs, losers and black activists...kinda like today. However, looking in the rear view mirror the music was on point.
Another white guy with a soul. First heard this song in 1976 while going to college one morning in Puerto Rico on the AFRTS (the Roosevelt Roads Naval Radio Station no longer in operation on the Island) and boy did I hummed that tune all day long in my head. Great music back then...
I'm 69 and still have time so I'm always playing my music from late 60's and 70's for my granddaughter. She now knows the difference between real bands vs a music machine.
Today's my 54th birthday, Gregory (Sept. 2)...and I am listening to this on our in-house sound system, all through the house...and I feel like I am boogie-ing down the hall in 7th grade all over again....yes ma'am......
Boz Scaggs sounds just as good live. He sings with no alterations, and his musicians play the music live. Pure. These were the songs of OUR youth. No cussing or degenerated fake gangster BS, just music.
This song came on the radio on my way home... so what do I do.... Come home and put it on repeat while I cook my dinner. Love me some Boz...Still listening in 2023!!
The Album Silk Degrees is an R&B musical masterpiece. It is timeless. I was a teenager when this album came out. Now, in 2024 at the age of nearly 64, it sounds as crisp, as it did back in 1978. This is Skaggs perennial "genius album."
Ladies and Gentlemen this funk was laid down for free. Before Boz Scaggs released Silk Degrees his record label was about to kick him to the curb. However his friends in Toto agreed to do the sessions free to save him some money. Amazing isn't it just imagine how great this would have been had they gotten paid. Not that it's bad though just saying. The groove Jeff Porcaro lays down is amazing as is David Hungate's Bass.
Nathan Brooken You could argue they played for the enjoyment of it and not for money which meant they were not just turning up for a paycheck and so could put themselves more into the music.
It was a very generous thing for Porcaro and Hungate to do the session work for this, and you're damn right that the drumming and bass on this are impeccable.
Troy Crane Boz has been my favorite since Silk Degrees, which by the way is the coolest album title ever, but the funny thing is SD was produced by Joe Wissert, who at the time was best known for producing Helen Reddy if you remember her. How the record company decided on him is a total mystery, but he did one hell of a job!
They've got talent now, but technology can make it too easy to write music now, and nobody, *nobody*, when this song came out would have dreamed of faking their way through a performance with lip-syncing.
@@diegosaldana9396 tons of talented people making music these days. Stop listening to that mainstream bullshit, go find it and stop insulting my generation lol. Stg lmao I Fucking hate you old bastards. Listen to the same songs for 40 years nonstop then say theres no talent today.
@@ijedi5200 Some old song's are better then now and im not saying that all song from now are bad but what im saying is a lot of music from my or are generation is bad but i like some new music from now.
Timeless classic
This was the actual song John Travolta danced to in Saturday Night Fever competition scene. The Bee Gees songs were added later.
Also, I believe, they used some of Steve Wonder's stuff.
Did not know that. Thank u. Am 76. Took my kids 2 it. 2 much fun today. P.S. still jam at 76. Kids. Grandkids. Great grands. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

musicians today don't make songs like this anymore.
They don’t have a clue smh
They make songs joinning templates.
The modern audience isn't sophisticated enough to understand it
Unless it's for persona
or any songs, for that matter......
70 year old drummer here, recommended this tune to my band members. We play it a lot with a great reaction from the crowd.
Great call! Keep rocking it!!

It was no coincidence that the 70s probably had the best music all around whether it was rock jazz R&B soul you name it😎

Listen to the 50s and 60 but I mainly grew up in the 70s 80s, and , 90s they were putting some good laid-back modern songs out and soft rock music.🎶🎶
I agree!!..
Yes sir it was good times. We had it all back then. I'm 65 now but my mind is felling those great teenage years.
Jeff Porcaro's drumming is so so rythmic and smooth. Just makes you groove. Miss you Jeff!! One of the greats!!
He sure had a way with those sticks in his hand.✌
Damn right! His Toto partner Steve Lukather summed up best: There were a lot of guys who played faster or with more chops, but there is no living soul alive who played a groove like him. When you think of drums, a lot of people think of technique, but really, drums are a rhythm instrument, and the basis of all music is the rhythm. And the basis of all grooves is the drums. I could play just straight 8th notes, and he could play something and it would make me sound Godlike. It's all finesse. It's that little extra something. You either have it or you don't.

Give everything I have to get music back the way it was in the 70's. The music today lacks heart, creativity, and Star power. I do not listen to today's music at all. One or two songs in 5 years maybe are worth listening to. I take myself back to the days of my HS years and just relax to the best music the world has ever know. 60/70's. None better.
That's why I enjoy listening to some joints from Bruno Mars and Jamiroquai since those artists sometimes come out with songs that sound so very old
Listen to a song called Move by Saint Hotel
And then I think you'll probably listen to a little more
***** Actually, they started out in '93. And that's an English group I'd rather listen to. Unlike One Direction.
the most and best years for music was 1969-1978 and that's a fact JACK...

This is the type of music you play after you get paid.
50 years later and it’s just as cool as the day it came out!
Not Quite 50yrs yet. Release in March 1976
Cooler!
FLASH back to great times driving a Lemans Pontiac on the radio 📻 with my girlfriend 🙂👍🤗

Best comment on here
I laughed and cried.
Rockin to this song in the 70's and now Oct 2024😊
Yes yes
That's really a great share. NOT.
I'm 47 and have been white knuckling through life not paying attention or being open to different things. Something happened and I'm awake and discovering all of the things I've missed along the way. This is a great song and I'm so thrilled and thankful to discover the great things I've missed.
May God bless you and keep you safe 💗🙏
Keep moving forward!!😊
Never too late ! Enjoy the ride ! ✨
Enjoy the music 🎉
And immediately the scales fell from his eyes. Welcome to the here and now my fellow traveler.
Us 65 year old's have a great range of music we love. I think we were lucky to be living during the last 50 years of music.
❤
You lived in the sweet spot man, big time! I envy my dad who just turned 80. He was around for Elvis. He was around for the golden age of Jazz. He was around for the 70's and experienced some of the best music in decades. He even lived through the advent of the computer age and the Internet, even if later in life.
Verdade Tom você falou tudo,tivemos o privilégio de termos músicas maravilhosas.
65 here, it has been more than great!❤
I'm 63, and have lived thru some great decades of music with meaningful lyrics.
I never get tired to listening to this song, his voice, the music, the chorus line...a timeless song...
Love this song and I'm 68
Same
I’ve got tickets to see him this summer. Totally stoked. ❤️🍎💋🎼🥃🍺🌿🎸
He crushed it last night! Enjoy!
Me too I'm 67
I’m 65! This is still the best era of music ever written and produced!!
At least we had warning 😉
...damn straight.
Amen!
Oh my it was so very good!!! I'm 58 and yes. That music is timeless.💖
@mrs.a3288 Man, we had it so good!! I'm 61 and feel so lucky to have grown up in the era of these tunes! ❤️🎶❤️🎵❤️
Huge Boz Scaggs fan, went to boarding school with his son Oscar Scaggs, who tragically died of an overdose on new years eve 1999. RIP my friend. You are missed.
🙏
So sorry❤
❤AMEN❤TAKE CARE❤!!!!!😊😮😢
💔🙏🙏
why did he die of an OD at boarding school? needed his father's attention; felt dismissed by his father; needed closeness, parenting⁉ sad.
Today’s music doesn’t even compare! A timeless classic that will live forever!! Boz you’re the boss!!!
Fun fact: Jeff Porcaro was a mere 22y when he laid down this highly infectious drumtrack.
RIP Jeff
❤
He was a bad motor scooter.
That is some cool jazz drum. 😎
Is this a mambo or a cha cha? 🤔
My $ on a chacha.
22y?! You mean he was part of an algebra equasion?!
Love the Man and the song! Im 67 now, 3 generations, Me, my son, my grandson love this music! Sept 13,2024! Patty1957
You are blessed..
This funky white bloke is the original soul brother.
Respect from England and l hope that the fourth generation will have the same tastes.
Rest in peace Dad he loved this song
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🤘🏿
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤❤
I lost both of my parents on the same day 😢😢😢😢😢in 2020 at home in hospice care I was watching them die slowly from
Dad cronic COPD & Diebtes
Mom stage 4 kidney disease and Alzheimer's disease.......

When someone you love dies 💔 in your arms your traumatized 💔 for life..😢😢😢
Thanks in advance for ready my comment 🤗🌹🌹
@@islandgirl9479I hear ya RE: permanent trauma from losing a loved 1. W/that said; steer clear of psych meds. I know that it's probably not the proper 4um 2 address such issues but since u did bring the matter up as it pertains 2 seeing a psychiatrist; I just wanna in4m u accordingly.
❤️🙏❤️
Your dad had great taste. Bless him ❤
Jeff Porcaro’s drum kit front and center - such a lovely groove and he sustains it for five minutes. Paich’s composing and keyboards are perfection. And Boz tells the story with such soul. Boz and David (Paich) never thought this one would be a hit, but here we are decades later. It’s still fresh and still a hit. And that is the lowdown on “Lowdown”.
great synopsis sir
Though young, was there when it came out and stopped what I was doing the 1st time I heard it and even understood most of the lyrics as a kid:). But it was a hit out the box as soon as that DJ (in Cleveland or Cincy) started playing it from the album. And guessing sometime in the 90s I read they didn't think it would be a hit. Which should tell you how hard that process is.
You must be a writer. Awesome description!
Pause10two4
Never thought it would be a hit, but there it is
Real drums ,real flute,real bass player, the way pop should sound
Not pop it's soul
Actually it’s soul disco
Great music in the days before Auto-Tune!
Carbonated soda- anyone? A big black cow!? Ice cream and soda?
They on that Quincy Jones shit
I’m 43 and just knew this was a brother singing the whole time.My guy had style
The 70's were cool because of bass lines like this.
True!! Real musicians.
I never liked a bashful bass line, got to hear it.
David Hungate (toto) good bass player
FORREAL
Right on --- and it gets extra nasty in the last minute ⚡⚡⚡
Soul has no color barrier, neither does funk--music is a universal sound that ties us all together
Amen
Ain't that right, brotha!
"Soul has no color barrier, neither does funk--music is a universal sound that ties us all together"...I agree!
Very well said 👍
You just made it a color barrier by saying it's not. If something doesn't exist, then why mention it?
My 2 Year old came into my office while this was playing and started dancing. Kids going to have good taste in music. Thanks Mr. Scaggs!
Yessss he will.😂💃🏼🕺
And that is how to teach the kids today to appreciate GOOD MUSIC! My Father, God Rest his Mighty Soul and my Dear Mother were wise enough to turn us kids on to All The Greats while we grew up. Now I have one of the most well rounded appreciation of music that could be!!! Well Done!!!
Iam 64yr old now ..still cutting the rug to it ..love it
You've got a nice office Sir!
Kids know good music when they hear it.
2024 Baltimore and I'm African American. I love it.
Thanks for sharing your race. Not important.
Jeff pocaro has that crisp, snap on the drums! He was 22 when he played on this track.
Mate, you don't know how many times I've listened to the first two seconds of this song to enjoy that opening drum fill!
Oh wow!! I never knew that!
Porcaro was a beast on drums. Love Toto and all the Porcaro brothers. Such great talent
I lived in Southern Nevada and met a friend that drummed and was from the the Hollywood area. We talked about bands and musicians and the subject of Boz Scaggs. He said Jeff Porcaro died a while back. I didn't sleep that night. But I dreamed I saw his tomb. Years later I found his marker in the online. It was just like the dream. Rest In Peace Jeff Porcaro. My friend and musician brother.
Amazing
This song has such a great groove.
The drummer is working that high hat.
Jeff Porcaro is the drummer. Formerly with the band Toto. His work with the sticks is legendary. Look him up.✌
@@terencem8795 Porcaro was an F'n Beast and oddly enough most of TOTO played on this record behind Boz!
I used to practice the drum part. drove me crazy trying to get the hi-hats right. ..... until I listened on headphones and realized that the hats weren't done on one take and are doubled on the recording
The late Jeff Porcaro on drums. Simply the best.
The Groove Master
#RIP Jeff Porcaro
When my dad played this.. a good mood was on. Greatest of memories dancin with him. He's 81 now n I'm 50.. I should put this on next time I'm over n grab his hand to dance!
Absolutely... Lucky girl.... I don't know what music my father listened to. He always had head phones on.... Drag....
I think it was elevator music..at least from what I saw. Which makes no sense. He was a pretty
Cool guy. He'd be 97 now. Or 98.
I've googled early RB and jazz. And some things never change. I LOLed again the other day. Seeing what they were singing about .. Even in like the 20's.
Ana and Mama Know birthday song for your dad
Ana and Mama Know YES, most definitely!!!!

Jeff Pocaro's drumming and beats are still knocking my heart.What a great drummer he was .I miss him.
coooool porcaro ^^
I agree, I think this song is THE greatest, most grooving drum part ever. And the hi-hat overdub is so clever.
Same here. I loved Boz & Jeff. 💛
😎😎😎
Damn straight. No Pocaro no Lowdown
Jeff Porcaro's drumming so was so damn precise and perfect. He will always rank as the best in my opinion.
I kinda just go "of course its jeff porcaro!" now
Best groove drummer in history, ask Keltner or Blaine etc.
Jeff Porcaro is simply one of the best since he was a kid. What a family tree of musicians, his dad had him on the right path when he was younger. ❤️🙏❤️
Wow 2019 and this STILL sounds so bad ass.....timeless talent....thank you Boz 💗
music worth listening too
Celina Melendez high school
timeless tune and that voice!!
it,s gon sound good 2020
Me too See em T* ma in sunny Florida 30 minutes from Disney world.....
Love this song. First heard around 15 yrs old...couldn't stop dancing and singing
Thanks Boz , this song is timeless . You can dance to it, you can just listen to it and groove . Peace and love everyone .
Steve Miller as Well.

Never heard of them. Searching for them now! Thank you for introducing me 🎉😮😊❤❤❤
Chainsmokers!!! Listen 😊
I sometimes need a reminder on how great artists like Boz Scaggs ruled the 70s. Instantly transported to late childhood/preteen years
I am 75.still grooving. Live the Man
Proof that the 1970s were way better than I formerly remembered. Still the essence of cool after almost half a century.
AGREED 😊
I grew up in the 70s and was unaware of how great it was. Post Vietnam National Hangover and guilt because the hippies lost the war. Drugs, losers and black activists...kinda like today. However, looking in the rear view mirror the music was on point.
Nothing touches the 70s for music in my not very humble opinion.
They just don’t make music 🎵 like this anymore
Yes
One of the GREATEST drum shuffles EVER🎶🎶🎶🥰
Another white guy with a soul. First heard this song in 1976 while going to college one morning in Puerto Rico on the AFRTS (the Roosevelt Roads Naval Radio Station no longer in operation on the Island) and boy did I hummed that tune all day long in my head. Great music back then...
Still is baby!
Right on Rosey Roads! We played football against them, Commonwealth Comets all the way.
And there was Bobby Caldwell 🙌🏻
I’m 59. Remember listening to this when I was 9
Absolute fucking grooves!
I'm 69 and still have time so I'm always playing my music from late 60's and 70's for my granddaughter. She now knows the difference between real bands vs a music machine.
Classic fo sho
A lot of young people like '80s music, too. I don't even call the stuff on radio music.

Nobody cares.
I 69
In 1976 I was eleven years old and I dug this song , 2019 now(54) still dig this song😀can ya dig it? I knew that you could 😎
gregory hudson LOVE this comment. 👍 I was nine lol
Katerina Kiaha I’m willing to bet your extra cool too, then and now🤗
Today's my 54th birthday, Gregory (Sept. 2)...and I am listening to this on our in-house sound system, all through the house...and I feel like I am boogie-ing down the hall in 7th grade all over again....yes ma'am......
Lynne Ralston Happy bornday 😎
Keep rockin😀
In 1976 i was 21. This song takes me back.......👍😊
I am 64 yrs old! What wonderful songs! We’re all alone. The best songs at all time ! Fore ever!
He did it better than that female.
All the musicians on this cut are the finest in the world. Pure quality.
Tell 'em hahaha
Whoever he hired to replace Jeff can't hold a candle to him.
yeeeeeesssssss
The flute is kickin @sickleshapedlife
Indeed
Have been a Boz Scaggs fan for 50 years. Incredible talent and he just so cool.
@bozscaggsmusic..nice to meet you. Love that you are still performing. Your voice has only improved with age. ♥
brb gotta steal a dan
The reason his so cool, is because you a fan
Boz Scaggs sounds just as good live. He sings with no alterations, and his musicians play the music live. Pure. These were the songs of OUR youth. No cussing or degenerated fake gangster BS, just music.
Always the coolest guy in the room.
This song came on the radio on my way home... so what do I do.... Come home and put it on repeat while I cook my dinner. Love me some Boz...Still listening in 2023!!
without doubt!
I was cleaning my kitchen while listening to this song, as I was singing along.😅
Saw Boz at the Kaufman (Kansas City) in 2022. He’s still as smooth as 20 year old scotch.
And 2024❤
2024!
The Album Silk Degrees is an R&B musical masterpiece. It is timeless. I was a teenager when this album came out. Now, in 2024 at the age of nearly 64, it sounds as crisp, as it did back in 1978. This is Skaggs perennial "genius album."
I,m 82 and loved skating to this song.
Truly one of the greatest songs ever. Has a great steely Dan vibe, great arrangements, smooth patina, what a voice- just perfection.
Ditto. So sweet. Good to read reviews from years past & right up til today March 2023. Boz will be appreciated for years yet to come!
This blew the pants off any of the blue-eyed soul songs of the Righteous Brothers. Nice mix of soul and jazz vibes.
@@southlatiger
Blue the pants off of anybody.
😢yup look up his biz. Great
Steely Dan covering this! THAT would must be must-listening.
Ladies and Gentlemen this funk was laid down for free. Before Boz Scaggs released Silk Degrees his record label was about to kick him to the curb. However his friends in Toto agreed to do the sessions free to save him some money. Amazing isn't it just imagine how great this would have been had they gotten paid. Not that it's bad though just saying. The groove Jeff Porcaro lays down is amazing as is David Hungate's Bass.
They got paid on the back end. This album bought Jeff his house... R.I.P.
Nathan Brooken
You could argue they played for the enjoyment of it and not for money which meant they were not just turning up for a paycheck and so could put themselves more into the music.
It was a very generous thing for Porcaro and Hungate to do the session work for this, and you're damn right that the drumming and bass on this are impeccable.
Nathan Brooken Nat what do record labels know
Thx for the insight N8!!!!!
Boz Scaggs.........The coolest, smoothest white bro of them all! Great tune that I have been listing to for 4 decades! Boz never gets old!
Troy Crane Along with Michael Mcdonald
Absolutely, Michael.
Troy Crane Boz has been my favorite since Silk Degrees, which by the way is the coolest album title ever, but the funny thing is SD was produced by Joe Wissert, who at the time was best known for producing Helen Reddy if you remember her. How the record company decided on him is a total mystery, but he did one hell of a job!
Love
I'm all in with ya Bro!!! Me too. Bigtime!
Featuring the guitar work of the great Louie Shelton! Fantastic. Always dug this song.
This is one of those jams that takes you back ... almost literally, to everything that was good about the 70's.!
So very true! I miss those times. Wish I had a time machine!
Amen! And still rockin it Christmas 2023!❤
Summer breeze makes me feel fine!
@@kara0300 That'll be stuck in my head the rest of the night! It's fine with me!
Some songs just seem to be timeless.. this is one of them.
Look out for that low down...that dirty dirty low down!
Exactly! This song is like fine wine.
AS I GET OLDER, IAM BOLD ENOUGH TO SING EVEN LOUDER...LOL👍😁😁❤🇿🇦
Back when music was made by real talented artists.
They've got talent now, but technology can make it too easy to write music now, and nobody, *nobody*, when this song came out would have dreamed of faking their way through a performance with lip-syncing.
So true.
@@alectocles Talented artists, artists properly, are dead, and they won't turn back, when will you realise?
@@diegosaldana9396 tons of talented people making music these days. Stop listening to that mainstream bullshit, go find it and stop insulting my generation lol. Stg lmao I Fucking hate you old bastards. Listen to the same songs for 40 years nonstop then say theres no talent today.
@@ijedi5200 Some old song's are better then now and im not saying that all song from now are bad but what im saying is a lot of music from my or are generation is bad but i like some new music from now.
