Boz Scaggs - Lowdown

[MrQUEENDIVA22]

BOZ SCAGGS IS BADDDDDDDDDDD TO DA BONE!!

[haggidubious]

'70s production at its best, no doubt.

[travisnealtodd70]

So badass and smooth.

[1ktyree]

Is this Steve Gadd and co. from CTI. Whoever they were the damned good musicians!

[UMAMIMAMU]

@1ktyree It does have that CTI sound doesn't it? The flute fills remind me of Hubert Laws.



[stuzeviews]

Never heard this track in the 70's or can't recall it - too busy bringing up kids commuting etc.,, but when looking at a Music Club Video of Seventies Rock and Pop '76 found this great track which on stage is actually I believe a better performance than here. Great mood wherever it was performed. Not only this but find the Sex Pistols, James Brown and so many other fabulous talents if you can find the Video.

[fsumpter]

Thank God I finally found this song. Everytime I heard it playing people never knew who sung it or what it was called. It took me 2 years to find it. I'm relieved now, LOL.

[cowboymac12]

Best baseline ever...no matter what generation you hail from...

[filmsmetanoia]

@cowboymac12 OH YEAH!!!!!!!

[clevegroove]

remember dancing to this song in fort lauderdale. you all remember line dancing. got a ride from the dj on the beach. just turned 21, oh what a night.

[MrJZchicago]

thanks for the posting of this great tune - judging by the photographs this is a man at peace with himself - a thing well worth having...

[hulaqde]

had this jam back in the day- love it!

[bigpeterc626]

JEFF!!!!!!!!!

[bejara70]

@bigpeterc626 Solid groove! Pretty sure John Robinson ripped it off for Michael Jackson's Rock With You - lol.

[twansolo]

I remember hearing this joint growing up but never knew it was a white guy. Sang it boy!

[filmsmetanoia]

@twansolo you said a mouth full. lol, lol!!!!!! Surprise!!!!!!!!!!!! i totally pictured a different look - a more... well, HIP personality - no offence. great song, still one of my favorites.

[MsMillertime68]

[rockjohnson80]

Funky

[mr208573]

I thought this was Aaron Nevilles

[grizzlyfan41]

@mr208573 It sure does sound a little bit like Aaron....

[sincityscott]

This white-man was born w/ soul! I was his bodyguard when he visited the Aladdin Theater in Las Vegas and I remember a very warm, humble musician who's star was moving up into the night sky!

[jackierave]

@sincityscott Ah, isn't he just the nicest man? So warm and friendly.. and such an artist... Love his music... !

[telamon2011]

BOZ IS THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrWillie5877]

Boz rocked this one, Could have been on the Saturday Night Fever album .

[MegaLuigiman12]

When I hear this song it can turn a snow cold day in winter into a nice summer day while sittin beside a warm fire place.

[Terahammer2]

Breaking bad

[nniuqed]

Dude spit some "game" on this track...peep the lyrics.

[blackandtanful]

ﾔｯﾊﾟﾘ､このｼﾞｪﾌ･ﾎﾟｯｶｰﾛのﾄﾞﾗﾐﾝｸﾞには脱­帽だﾈ!～そして限りなき名楽曲、ﾎﾞｽﾞ･ｽｷｬｯｸﾞｽ､"­LOWDOWN"～ToTo陣の最高演

[IAMKARENROMAN]

this song is part of the soundtrack of my life, Boz's music played consistently thru out my " bad marriage, with good music". lol. A no-good husband who turned me on to some of the best music ever! Boz Scaggs, War, AWB, Micheal Frank, Gino Vannelli....you gotta find the silver linings in life, I eventually left him, but not the music, til death do me and your music part! love YOU always Boz. lol

[Bibot827]

Old Boz still has that great voice until now...Lowdown was the top song in jeepneys way back 80's in the Philippines..

[kimmy1984]

wow was a kid when this came out but I remember how popular this song was.

[julianputra]

superb piece. Swansea 1978.

[kimtonearts]

Gosh I love that flute painting at 1:13 secs. Anyone know who it's by?

[TonySteeles]

makes me think of the music my dad used to play...the good stuff!

[EViLDC5]

32 people need to wear glasses...

[briddle2]

This was my music in the 70's. Lived a thousand lifetimes since then, but it's still mine. I was made to love music.

[TheBoonggaboongga]

David Hungate is on fire with his bass.

[pjeffries301]

Alright, Alright, all you drummers, this is how it gets done. Jeff Porcaro, as talented as he was kind, really. Still in my thoughts bro., r.i.p.

[THEATREofPAIN270]

Great tune, Awesome Bass player too. 32 Dislikes, Those 32 are just LOWDOWN

[trystan846]

What, you act like you've never hurd a white boy with soul,hahahaha

[Nina513]

This is a kick ass video to a kick ass song..

Classic.

[SuperPretty60]

Just ,LOVE this Song

[kitkat10ify]

memories,some good,some bad. boz always good

[charlieattic]

Music today is just put into different boxes. New country, pop, rock, etc. No cross pollenation or experimentation on the Top 100.

[ryanspeed]

I love this song. To the 31 who dislike this song...GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!

[Ishitoneveryone]

MF DOOM brought me here.

[becuzshecan]

[BrettMiller33]

Heres a song, for the ladiessss

[sfgeminiman78]

we used to do the cha-cha to this song at the disco (Studio 47 in San Jose and Studio West in San Francisco), what was it '78? memories!

[Krispcremelatina]

Boz Scaggs does it best when it comes to LOWDOWN!!

[MrGeoman629]

You when you don't to listen to the radio anymore except to tune in to the news/traffic stations, where are all of the new artists who have the nack to produce good music? I'm only 49 years old. God sake, new and upcoming artists, listen to the music!

[holmsdale1959]

this tune is amazing



[91Charlie06]

this shit bangs

[frankmaiorana66]

Boz Scaggs is awesome.  I understand he has had some tragedy in his life with his son. I dunno the whole story.

[Billtron220]

good jam!

[Mikie6794]

This song is the BOMB!!! Low,low, low, low down

[jeffreypsmith]

[78faces]

[olskooldannib030]

Good Music To Make Love...

[Progrose]

[trentholt]

the 70's - the coolest of all music eras.

[TheAdeleLonestar]

65 and sunny, cleaning house on a Sunday, windows opened and blinds rapping against the sill, and Lowdown helping me boogie through my housework. AWESOME SONG!

[swimmerB0B]

soundtrack of my college days......

[superTy91]

lol i think he was the only white guy i heard the black radio station play

[i5318008]

GOD HATES SCAGGS

[droptopsixfo]

@i5318008 hehehe I get the joke

[lolwut8898]

This awesome son we played at all our party's in the 70's . until someone spilled a drink on the record player .by Betty Boop

[debbie1964ful]

good dancin jams



[faith2xxx]

Dammit, why doesn't anyone make MUSIC like this today??? The combination of strings with jazz, pop, r&b, is outstanding.

[82ghall]

@faith2xxx IT'S A 70'S THING....THEY COULD IF SOMEONE WOULD STEP UP

[itubeyoublah]

transistor radio to the ear baby

[illustrate100]

This IS a piece of the 1970's. If you were alive then, you remember this song.

[Jeff527]

First year in college ... brings back a lot of memories about lost love. Boz, you're the best!

[lebgold]

I was a 15 year old boy hanging out in Petticoat Lane in The City district of London most Sundays with a group of friends when I came across a shop called the Electric Light Store flogging import albums & singles from the US, first one I bought was this baby, many, many more followed as vinyl became my ultimate passion, bar the female of the species.......and even to this day I buy vinyl & only have 20 CD's to my name!

[RAG1060]

I played this album in H.S. till it was worn....... unreal sound. I couldn't get enough :)

[lz042102]

his vocals on this tune are like drinking a deep,rich red wine or an aged mellow cognac!

[Purple1984Rain]

This song should not have a dislike button imo :)) Even back in '76 the Toto posse were awesome musicians. Steve Lukather's guitar sounds amazing.

[jobsz345555]

Great version out with MArio Biondi and Chukha Khan , check it out

[jobsz345555]

@ Fuzzy, music needs no explanation, it either works for you or it deosn't.

[LHall1205]

this is cool laid back music.

[rmtmiller]

He's still hot.

[able506]

sexy time music

[nvet1953]

One of the most enduring songs of 1976....bought this album as soon as it hit the streets....

[bfer95]

this song proves music has no color lines even white guys had soul back in the day i remember this song growing up and it still jams like hell till this day rock on

[MsMillertime68]

this song reminds me of my exhusband good memories ****** 

[The808Prophet]

i used this beat in one of my remixes. Type in Jay-Z - Brooklyns Finest (Prophet Remix)

[royeuriah1958]

i went to see this white boy in the 70s at hammersmith odeon

[yec50]

Old school still love this song

[droptopsixfo]

See....The white boys can do this too :)

[Khultan]

@droptopsixfo  You are slow.

[droptopsixfo]

@Khultan Well if you wouldn't mind elaborating, I'd love to hear why some faceless ball-less swine on youtube thinks I'm "slow"

[SuperSteelydanfan]

@droptopsixfo Yes they can!

[msknighttime]

@droptopsixfo

Yes they can!!!!! All these years I never knew what Boz looked like. I remember my mom playing this in the house. So I must have been 3 years old.

[droptopsixfo]

@msknighttime My dad played this for me when I was growing up and I always pictured some Kool & the Gang looking band.

[knoxcountykyman1]

@droptopsixfo yes, but unfortunately we are to few and far between

[Richieman11]

Is it me or is this tune the mutts nuts? ;-) 

[mr208573]

...IS IT JUST ME OR DID EVERYONE ELSE THINK AARON NEVILLE SANG THIS SONG TOO?

[fuzzypige222]

for the 29 dislikes....My theory is that since there are actual musical instruments on this song...flutes, strings, winds, background vocals...not to mention the words portraying a life dynamic of woman and man.. no wonder they probably cant handle all the real music and real meaning...so they run to their ipods looking for instructions

[patrickwinslow]

The fidelity is pretty thin on this vid.

[MsShanedale]

YEAH,,,I LUVVV IT SO SMOOTH,,,

[tekstuffguy]

my foots tappin, my head is bobbin to the beat....miss this

[sarahsrose2002]

ha.............doesn't get any better then this!

[HUNTINGSUSAN]

VERY VERY GOOD SONG GREAT GUY!!!!! THANX

[Towl35]

[semkobenko]

I will call ALI tomorrow morning.

[semkobenko]

[semkobenko]

[semkobenko]

[iamsonny7]

Never get tired listening to great music of the 70's. Brings back memories of good times with friends going to discos. Putting on my famous Brut cologne and ladies Charly perfume.

[sarahsrose2002]

@iamsonny7 oh Yeah............

[folz208]

Boz is the MAN.....well back in the 80's he definitely was the man....,,BTW..He probablt still is!

[clarkbell]

@folz208 80's... um this was 1976

[socalscottiejazz]

Boz Skaggs... But that's Toto backing him!!!

[hardlines4]

A time when we had REAL music!!!

[faithandfreedom]

Man, all i can say is what a great song. Really miss the 70's. The music was awsome!

[TKProduction74]

This song takes me back to my childhood!

[sonday50]

BOZ, one of the all-time best!!!!! In PEACE and LOVE!!!! Sonny

[instereovideos]

I will now criticize music that is new and say good things about music that is old, to see if my comment will receive "thumb ups."

[ILoveCurves88]

@ rdgroce HAHAHA Yes, it is!!! Well said...

[timmmahhhh]

Great trivia about a great song, thanks.

Okay I have a question - at 3:30 there is an electronic tone - was that intentional or a mistake that they decided sounded pretty good? It never bothered me, I just thought it was kind of peculiar.

[semkobenko]

smooth and rich

[hotpeachjuicy]

One the worlds greatest song.

[ladyluv2dance]

To see my husband's face when I play this song from my playlist - he loses his mind...priceless!

[feemcl62]

I remember when my brother bought the Silk Degrees album way back when. Fell in love with his music then, still love it now.

[jlt06prez]

Just saw him perform this at a concert a couple months ago...he's still amazing!

[grizzlyfan41]

Well allright!.....over a MILLION hits; Go Boz go.....

[bumchef1]

Hey take me back, this song is amazing

[griffieful]

rdgroce,

You are so right. This is real music. And I might add that Boz Scaggs no matter how old he is, is still a hot looking guy.

Anyway, this song sure brings back memories. I could play this song a lot and never tire of it.



[MultiShades]

Dick in the mouth all the way

[MsCandygirl2300]

Man this song brings back some good ole times in them days im a 60 baby and low down just put u n that kind of layed back smooth mood. Snoop n uncle chucc re-did this cut it's got a funky groove too luv it!

This is vintage stuff that will ALWAYS be played. Timeless indeed representing the best pure American art form- You either dig it or you don't but it is still the best.

[trinat65]

[zmystico]

I NEVER KNEW THIS WAS BOZ SCAGGS...I LOVED THIS SONG!

[ooma146]

This jam came out when i was 16, it still is one of my all time favorites. i will hit the like twice.

[kmars21]

tasty

[industrialsun]

Boz's voice on top of this groove was the sweetest shit to ever play through my 8 track tape stereo speakers. One of those indestructable tunes from a time when they made it sound so effortless.

[bobandannette]

gorgeous song. beautiful post of pics.

[arthriticMamm0]

time to chill with the Boz...

[mvies77]

I remember when the group played all over the San Francisco Bay area. They were a main part of the music scene back then and there.

[MrStevekozlowski]

Pressed the LIKE button twice,this track and Silk Degrees are iconic,in the true sense of the word.Many thanks to Kev Armstrong for burning me a copy of Slowdancer by Boz.

[rdgroce]

for you young people who don't know what this is its called "music."

[fff1313]

@rdgroce Thank you! I could not have said it better myself !

[DarcMac]

I wouldn't call disco "music".

[777Lateralus]

@rdgroce actually it sounds more like "disco porno crap" to my young ears

[torr59622]

@777Lateralus WTF did you say? i hope your not talkin about this song like that.

@777Lateralus I
