Thanks for posting this song. As usual Boz is excellent! But I must give props to the pianist, I think this is the best accompaniment on the piano ... Ever! @wilswasit104....Boz doesn't need stage presence. When you are a talent of this caliber, no one is concerned about how you move on stage.( except you I guess) LOL! His career has spanned40 years or more. So he must be doing something right. Boz Scaggs is one of the best singer/songwriters around today. Why he's nt in the Rock and Roll of
So agree, Rita didn't bring it like Boz, but My God, the man has no stage presense. Can't count the nights I sat up and did Boz.. Better heard and not seen- He just doesn't work on stage.
June 17th of 09 I met my soulmate. I was drumming in a bar in Port Huron, just off the water. She was swaying to the music. As my eyes fell upon her, everything stopped.... A wistful romance danced between us, and faded into the clouds... Our souls desperately trying, but ultimately succumbing to distance and circumstance.
the 1st i heard rita's version of this, i really fell in love on the lyrics ,music and the voice of rita as well..until i heard this, still i think compliment to this music belongs to the bozz itself. cheers to you men.i wish i had ur voice.
I love Rita Coolidge's recording of this song. I remember my brother and sister listening to Boz Scaggs but I never heard him sing this song. I just recently found out he wrote it.
this is probably the most beautiful ever written. it BREAKS my heart remembering someone I met and fell in love with in 1977. I can never bring him back but I hope he is at peace now.
Oh my...reminds me of the best nights with John M...Boz manages to sing better with each passing decade. Rich, raw, vulnerable. Great song by a marvelous talent.
Coolidge lacks the sheer passion Boz brings to this song. Her singing seems "automatic"... no pauses .. it's like someone wound her up ... Boz uses nuances .... different tonalities and exquisite timing. His voice has depth. He is obviously INVOLVED in what the lyrics say. His facial expressions convey such unbridled passion which this song strongly requires. Close your eyes and just listen to it. It takes you out of your realm!
@Karen41872 He IS involved with what the lyrics say, he wrote the song. Just watched him perform it live last nite in person, he did an outstanding job!!!
I really enjoyed this video of Boz in his younger years . . . what a treat! His stage presence was not yet very well developed, which was fun to see and adds to his charm. I have always loved his baritone slides into his deep falsetto on this song, CLEARLY written to showcase his uniqueness. What a great vocalist . . .
I don't know why people have to say who's is best or whatever, but Boz wrote the damn song and the studio version is so much more powerful than this and he hits the high notes on that one and he was younger and this version sounds a little muffled and is in mono anyway. And to say this song is designed for a higher voice...not to take anything away from Rita but she doesn't hit the high notes that Boz did on the studio version.
Coolidge's version sounds better because of the melodic guitar hooks especially the solo part. Scaggs only make use of the piano and keyboard.Anyway, both sing great with Scaggs the wamer of the two. After all, he is the song composer.Great song.
My sons first concert was Boz, Steve Miller and the James Cotton Blues Band in Washington. He was under a year old and his birthday was Dec. 29, he is now 38!
Brilliant song. Rita Coolidge sings this better. But that is no disrepect to Boz Scaggs. He wrote this song. Surf you-tube, and you will see some people hate Boz Scaggs for "taking advantage" of Asian groups. Huh?
Just curious, does anyone know the story behind this song? There's a couple of the lyrics I'm hung up on that make me think it's a bit more than just a simple -- yet, wonderful -- love song.
His music gives me goosebumps. Have been so lucky to see him at his start (when he played at local colleges) when he was peaking and when he started playing in venues I could afford again (casinos in Tahoe)
At the risk of sounding risque,if you couldn't get some serious loving with this on the turntable back in the day...well this was not a relationship fated to end well
He didn't sing this last night at Casino Rama..there were so many songs he didn't get to but it was this smooth perfectly crafted show of excellence, a reflection of him in his 60's so far away from Calgary in 77 and still so cool

Michael... there's a nasty little YouTube poltergeist named "Mizko1" who goes to all of my favorites and gives me "thumbs downs" on a daily basis. I guess he has no life of his own. Pathetic.
SUPERB! Wow - this is so cool. An all time favorite - and to see it live - WAY COOL! I was doing a project and looked up Canton Ohio and found that Boz was hangin' out in Canton 'til he moved to Texas at age 12. I love his early stuff - smoothest voice in the world. When I finally had a few bucks, I bought tickets to see in in Lorain and he cancelled. I was bummin' and I shall forever sing the blues about it.
Simply love Boz Scaggs, brings back such wonderful memories of those special years in the seventi4es. What wonderfully composed songs and music. Thank you for shairing this with us, it really is very special!
Bass and roni.sooooooo judgemental..think you can do better.If you were a musician you would understand.Sometimes we love to have fun we aren't always perfect like you think you are..a-hole*
My favorite recorded version of his song. He is tired, but passionate. His voice is still that slippery oaken gold. A song to be savoured and cherished.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Scaggs sings the original version with such conviction and feeling that it still stands as an absolute classic...
I think I recognize thos hamhock forearms on piano. Looks and sounds like TOTO'S David Paich who co-wrote songs with/for Boz and actually produced "Lowdown" By the way,Boz still sounds great! checkout his new DVD concert "Greatest Hits Live"!
Oh, Vicki. Don't you remember the wonder of it all? The sheer magic of being so in love.
