Love this bass line . Anthony Jackson is just walking that six string bass.
Excellent analogy
Excellent observation "how they brought music from the 40's and brought it into the 80's.
The whole song is sheer genius it's about a drug dealer in the 80s hitting his licks high level Dealer
The bass!
The one and only Anthony Jackson!🤗
A lot of Steely Dan heads don’t like this song, but I think it’s PHENOMENAL!
It’s still SO fresh and modern sounding…..almost as if it’s from 2030, not 1980.
It’s World Lounge music BEFORE there was ever World Lounge!
SO HIP!!
👍🏼🎸🎹🎼❤️😎
This is one of my favorite Dan songs
The lyrics are a gradual reveal as to the "glamour profession". The first stanza portrays him as a mere chauffeur; in the second and third stanzas, he becomes a bodyguard. Then finally, after the "fabled fools" break, he is revealed as a supplier too ("now that the deal is done"). A wicked, subtle fable of the one who oversees personal dissolution.
You nailed it!
Many thanks, Harri. This is a mesmerising track. The horn arrangement on that intro/outro figure, the wonderful outro guitar solo from Steve Khan. Classic SD. Nice reaction from you.
Steely Dan can make dark subjects entertaining. This is one is great! I would highly recommend "caves of Altamira"
I've been waiting for the movie of this gorgeous song to be made for over 40 years. Steely Dan at their evocative, storytelling best.
Kinda off topic, but I was just listening to a reaction to "chain lightning", and thinking it could be a song from a Broadway play.
it's my fave!
Great reaction vid!
Great impression sir. You’ve gained a new follower. Steely Dan offers a wealth of great music and lyrics. Explore some others.
Yes, intoxicating! That sweet guitar outro is definitely that!
Harri,I bought this the day it came out..one the 1980's best albums.love your channel sir.all my Best, Kent😂in Ohio.
I'm 64 and have been a fan of SD since The Royal Scam album. Aja completely blew me away and I was so anxious to see what they would do next. Gaucho came out and the first song I heard from it was Glamour Profession. It became my favorite SD track of all time!
Was lucky enough to see them twice. Gotta have a Steely Dan tee-shirt! Never made a bad song. Rock on.
Another smooth song delivered in the way only Steely Dan know how. There is always more to their songs than you first think, great melodies with such deep lyrics.
I named a cat Aja.
Beautiful
The amazing story telling and music is unparalleled. Also tears come to me eyes with the funky bass and the beautiful Impressionistic keyboard, horn chords a la Debussy, Ravel.
"Crashin' the backboard, he's jungle Jim". 'nuff said.
Steely Dan says this song is about the basketball icon, Dr. J, and his lifestyle.
The line "local boys will spend a quarter just to shine the silver bowl" references how after parties for $250 the select could have all the left over blow. No matter how much was left. Kind of like auctions for storage locker contents.
These guys simply did eveything the right way. Who else made music like this either then or now? They have a unique ability to merge music from the past with present day mixing and engineering. The sound production and editing is top shelf, period.
These guys made such fantastic music that was so unlike anything anybody else was doing (or ever did). There aren’t adjectives to describe what they created. So thanks to “the so outrageous one” and Harri for tackling this one. 🌺✌️
The masters of snark, dark humour and deceptive lyrics. Gorgeous music about shady characters (in this case drug dealer to the stars). So many funny lines too... I smile while I dance and sing these lyrics. It is one of my favourite SD songs; thanks for reacting to this one Harri .😎
Check out their song Green Earrings. Great song. I met the drummer Bernard Purdie in October and he is so cool, so friendly, and so humble! To be so talented, so gracious, and kind just speaks to the reason he is still so effervescent at 83 years of age!
From the 1980's album "Gaucho". Beautifully, Steely Dan, layered with
metaphors musically and lyrically, and
instruments that are fighting for top
billing. Definitely full of drug references
Harri you got it. 👍👍 Becker and Fagan
broke up shortly after this album due to
Becker's addiction. Great reaction Harri.
Thanks Harri and So Outrageous One.
Fantastic tune. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
One of my favorite SD songs
Brut and charisma - ha! Brut was the men’s cologne we loved back then
They droppin' bars like DMX
Steely Dan! Man I love the Dan🖖🏼
Christmas eve 1980. I put this album on fixed drinks for my love and I and asked her to marry me. My wife (RIP sweetie) LOVED SD. Great memories...
Thanks for sharing your story, and I am so sorry for your loss.
@@mikeloomis687 Thanks Mike. I appreciate your reply...
I also am sorry for your loss. May God be with, heal, and comfort you.
There is and will never be anyone like Fagan and Becker and there's no glamor about cocaine
2:15, you're right. listen to dr. buzzard's original savannah band. they were a strong inspiration for this song, and they did the big band sound fused with disco in the late 70s.
Another STeely Dan Classic and right on about the meaning about the lyrics. Just love the line, off to barbados, just for the ride. So much to like about this one, glad you had a chance to react to this and thank you again the outrageous one.
Harri, I just saw that Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac passed away today. Please react to You Make Loving Fun.
I'll second that. Another great one is from one of Fleetwood Mac's lesser known (but fantastic) albums - Bare Trees. It's called " Spare Me a Little of Your Love" and it showcases Christine's voice and great songwriting.
Your reaction? Spot on...!
Check out Glamour profession bass cover. You will gain an even greater love for this tune listening to Anthony Jackson's bass line. Hardly ever on the beat.
Music and verse will alway's hold my interest. Hope it does to all your followers.
That’s a great description. Good job!
I really like to hear them. This one is the first time!😊😊
You can’t overstate the quality, unique sound and fantastic musicianship of this 70’s super band. They have no comparisons then or since! The more you dig deeper the more impressive they are! Please continue reacting Harri us 76 year olds are eating it up! What great memories Thanks.
I'm a youngster at 71! 😏 I've been enjoying Steely Dan's music for two thirds of my life. There are good things in life as well as not so good, their music is definitely one of the good things!
100% I believe the band is one of the most underrated artists that I’ve ever met.
If you like the sax on this cut, check out Tom Scott who had a couple awesome albums back then. I loved New York Connection
Steve Khan’s solo at the end is guitar Nirvana. I know what you mean about 40s harmony with an 80s groove. There was another band that did this, except they were from the 70s: Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band. They had a real big hit called Cherchez La Femme. You would love it. Actually, the whole album is great and definitely worth a listen.
I was about to mention Dr Buzzards Savannah band but decided to read the comments first. Cherchez La femme does indeed sound like this.
@@ragjamrock I would never have made the connection if Harri hadn’t mentioned the 40s harmony.
I was also having “Cherchez La Femme” vibes hearing this. 😊
Oh and btw: Harri quite recently reacted to “Cherchez La Femme” 😉
@@NathanVeenstra thanks for the heads up!
Great take on this gem. Killer jazz links to fade.
Thanks Harri, you nailed it. Steely Dan is a mood you can't quit with their snarky lyrics, perfect catchy chords and production. This one about a cocaine dealer to (I am assuming) a pro basketball team, probably the lakers or clippers, among others, as this album was recorded in L.A..
I think they made it on my 2022 refs top 5. I read a person say on here, that, "Steely Dan is your favorite band's favorite band". It's true. David Letterman had them on his show.
You can’t do enough Dan, as far as I’m concerned!
this is one of my favorite jams from them!!! its so FIRE!!! btw their is truth in those lyrics ... im from l.a ive seen it ...
Listen to the 1977 huge hit by the one hit wonder band Odyssey, Native New Yorker. It sounds like Glamorous Profession. You have good ears.
GROOVY MAN
Perfection.
But then,I’m biased where THESE guys are concerned,a massive fan since Can’t Buy A Thrill when it dropped when I was 17.
My favourite ever band.
You got it right, Hari.
2:33 - I hear ya, there's a 'Film Noir' late 1940s/early '50's vibe in the mood of those chords of those verses and jazzy arrangement, piano, horns but it's put to a modern, almost Dance Music beat/groove and instruments
Rikki don't lose that number
Great song on a fantastic album, my personal favourite is the title track. "Those days are gone forever, over a long time ago, Oh yeah"
Definitely as far as music is concerned!
Harri, thank you for doing this one! I’d asked too. Now PLEASE try Rolling Stones Almost Hear You Sigh. Mick’s vocals really good. He expresses pain beautifully in it. It’s next to Can’t You Hear Me Knocking as favorites.
Jive Miguel😂😂😂
new to your channel, id suggest anything by Led Zeppelin, perhaps one of my favs, The Rain Song
Drug related, of course. Love the comments here, never tried to do a deep dive into the lyrics but some of your comments are enlightening 😎
This song is about cocaine.
ehhh try some earlier gritty stuff like : green earrings, fire in the hole or dont take me alive
So many fantastic songs, and that's just from Pretzel Logic and The Royal Scam, my two favourite SD albums. Night By Night, Through With Buzz, Barrytown, With a Gun, Pretzel Logic, Caves of Altamira, The Royal Scam. Wonderful stuff!
I would add King of the world, Do it again, Doctor Wu, Deacon blues and dozen of others of theirs songs...
