I haven't listened to you in about 30 years and am sorry to say it is my mistake, you are as wonderful as always. You are one of a kind. Came across this video while watching my son's band. They are good. You provided me with many memories of my younger day, and how sexy your sound is still. Saw you years ago in a club in SF.
Awe Boz Scaggs! :-) Ok Now! What a totally awesome sound this guy had. His music had its own style and man alive, I fell in love with his music the moment I heard it. This music takes me back to those long summer nights sitting by the bon fire with friends and family and Boz playing on the 8 track and everyone laughing and having a good time. What happened to those days? It was so different then. Maybe it is just young memories but that time was a special to time to be alive! It ended too soon!
Great song, great video, thanks for the post! Always love to see pictures of Boz he is sooooo gorgeous ! Way back in 1980 I was 39 years old , married with 3 children, and I loved me some Boz Scaggs and I still do! This man is an icon, who deserves far more recognition than he has gotten! Boz I hope you check out YouTube, because you need to see how revered you are! God bless you!
@drmagic The time machine is the internet and we have the privilege of being able to go back in time on it to find these wonderful old school treasures. Continue to enjoy Boz and all the other great old school artist. Nothing like the crap they call music today. I'm glad I grew up with all the old school music, wouldn't have it any other way. Love the trip down memory lane. Continue listening.
This song reminds me of a girl I met on the beach back in 1982. We are friends today but that very moment we met was so special. Our eyes locked and I knew there was something special about her. I will never forget that moment for the rest of my life.
I love Boz Scaggs! He has got soul! Color has never matter when it comes to soul. Soul is something that you are feeling and you sing about, and people connect to you because they are feeling you as you sing. Soul is just that...what you are feeling in your soul and wish to relate to another soul. PEACE!
@grifftrain 1980. Summer btwn soph and junior years for me. I'd buy anything with Jeff Porcaro on it back then. I already loved Boz, and his work with Jeff . . anyway . . the memories this song evokes are truly beautiful.
Kudos to the creator of the photo montage for this clip. Excellent. I let my (drunk) mind just go with your flow , and wow, what a nice fill-in my mind did to join the pics together!
I just paid tribute to a very special man that passed away at 54 yoa, this song was special to us for MANY reasons, and I can remember every one, in detail! Thank you for the wonderful contribution to our memories...... I can still see him standing on the pier, handsome in his police uniform, looking at me below on the beach, all the while I had been watching for him...and he was always there.
Interesting how Boz wasn't afraid to keep the Disco sound going after it supposedly died. I draw a line directly between this song back to Alicia Bridges I Love The Nightlife - drums, bass, hammond organ...
@leftatalbuquerque I wouldn't really call this song "disco," though perhaps it was an 80s-style progression of it. Disco usually had a steady 1-2-3-4 bass drum beat with a lot of strings/brass and muted guitar.
This is one sexy ass song!! So amazing and so gorgeous!! Always loved this song!! This song takes me back to days of true happiness and innocence. I miss those days. My heart just aches for those days so much. What a time that was.Never to be forgotten! There was a magic in the air back then that you just cant feel today and that is a real shame. This song is pure magic in itself! Missing those days but hold the memories in my heart forever!! ♥☺
Billboard's #99 song of '81. As mentioned, Boz was backed up by Canadian singer, Lisa Dal Bello. Boz hit #13 AC, #14 pop in Billboard. Because of Lisa's presence, did her chart in Canada? God bless!
@DaveWollenberg Thank you for the name behind that sultry voice. I will certainly look up her work. I've always loved this song and felt it was his most underrated song. Never seemed to get the airplay some of his other hits did.
I sense this song is about a Leo woman. Leo women can be domineering, but warm and generous like the sun. We are fixed fire signs ruled by the heart, so there you go...
Great Song by Boz! I believe this was his last chart single for quite a while (#14 in February 1981). Lisa Dal Bello's vocals are great as well, including excellent drumming by Jeff Porcaro!
I love, love this song and musical arrangement. His vocals, the harmonies and the growls of female vocalist near the end of the song just make it for me. What are they talking about at 3:23?
So apparently Boz went New Wave as well. I associate him more with the 70's, "Lowdown," "Lido Shuffle" soul period, but this is interesting nonetheless.
So cool to see you mention Muscle Shoals--that's my home and where I live. It seems like most people have forgotten (or are too young to remember) that this used to be "The Hit Recording Capital of the World!" Thanks for this video--love it. : )
Did boz not record with steve miller at muscle shoals studio many moons ago.As the guy says well after silk degrees but an ideal summer listening sound
"Boz Scaggs is the second album by Boz Scaggs. After two years with the Steve Miller Band, Scaggs once again set out on his own, recording at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama."
mjraffe,
I had forgotten about Boz being Steve Miller's lead singer. Not sure if they recorded together in Muscle Shoals. Didn't see anything to that effect.
this song was a couple of steps ahead of its time! yet, it's one of those tunes you end up hearing on a motel clock radio on an unrecognizable radio station in a forgettable town!

Nice job...more photo's of the adorable one please!Seen the man over 30 times...am I crazy? No, just appreciate one fine musician!Love when he does this duet with his girls.
Does anyone here know of another great version of this song by Average White Band. They really funked it on this tune. Steve Ferrone's groove was so.......well I make love to my gf alot with AWB's version..
@MrLarryonthelake ignorance isn't something any of your favorite artists would endorse, think before you discredit thousands of people who are working in a slightly different medium. I'm sure since you don't like rap you don't take the time to find any that is worth listening to, the radio is not a credible source
I don't like rap. Rap isn't music. There's nothing you can say to change my mind. It's an opinion and you have opinions and I can assure you that I don't waste time trying to persuade you otherwise. You said to think ................................................Ok...I still don't like rap.
You like rap. Good for you! You can't dictate other's opinions....this is America....we are free to express our opinions. You can't determine my musical preferences.......Got IT?
@MrLarryonthelake Whether rap is music or not is not opinion, it is fact. You can not like rap and not try to discredit it by making claims that it isn't music, this is not a subjective opinion based claim, it is a claim on the objective nature of rap. And this isn't America, it is the internet, got it?
Again, in my opinion, I don't like rap. If you like rap...bully for you! Great....you have the right to like it and I to loath.
I like to hear singing of the melody, you would rather hear it recited.
You have entirely missed my point.....now....got it?
Also, In America, the internet is even more free than the country itself......so then, I am even more free to state my opinion. You can dictate yours....fine....but you cannot dictate my opinion...
Oh, one more thing....I have my friends at work...and they play their rap music and I have been listening to it for over 30 years and I still don't like it; they know it and they are fine with it.
So why do you have such a problem with my personal preferences? I bet you can't answer that; but if you do, you will again....miss the point.
You have missed the point: I only have a problem with people saying rap is not music, and that is the only thing I ever argued with you about, not your opinions or personal preferences (though I did speculate upon your musical exposure).
Why are you unable to respond to what I actually said and not to what you are projecting onto my posts?
Troll or stupid? Based on your comment on freedom, I will assume the latter.
I made a statement based on hearing it from it's origins in the late 60's. My sons dig rap knowing I don't ... even when I state it's not music...rap has certain elements of music but it's mostly written without a score and it lacks the melody. It has rhythm and complex rhythms and a chord chop once in a while but that's all. I have a friend named Eric who hit it big and he doesn't wet the bed over my opinion that rap...isn't music. Bed-wetter.
@MrLarryonthelake generalizing anything is ignorant. saying all rap sux, or that all rock sounds the same, is like saying all black people are thugs, or all muslims are terrorists. im not trying to argue, becuz surely i wont change ur point of view. but ur wrong. u dont have to say it. its just the truth.
@MrLarryonthelake That's YOUR preference. If you hate hip-hop, that's your business. BFD! I can't believe these people are beefing with you. lmao. We like what we like. There's plenty of genres out there that I despise. Country music sucks deep! Death metal? WTF? Folk "music"...lol. Anywae, hip-Hop is a multi-billion dollar per year enterprise. In fact, 51% of rap music purchases are made by white people. Not tryna draw race into this, but I'm just sayin'...
@MrLarryonthelake I totally agree. Funny thing i saw this afternoon. I was out driving today and this white guy was driving a late 90's white Ford Explorer. He had all of his windows rolled down and his sound system pumped up. Guess what he had on - "Lil' Wayne"LOL. Here's the real kicker. He looked like he was in his mid 40's. LOL. If that idiot only knew how STUPID he looked, he would have crawled under a rock. LMAO
How funny ! Ironically, I saw the same guy ! His car is just like mine only my windows don't roll down!!! (dangit). Anyways, he looked like he was lip-syncing.....the rock you are referring to is probably Crocodile Rock. Yeah, those ol' men look pretty stupid singing away........You should have stopped him and told him so! Why didn't you?
Oh yeah, eventually he would have met you under the rock you were talking about...right Lizard King? :,)
toto version is good with david paich singing.boz has that cool soulful tone, plus toto on backing track you cant lose! lisa dalbello sounds foxy as fuck!!
This song makes me think of Bozzz's Mercuial (gemini born June8th)character. As Mercury is WARMED by the SUN retanining it's warmth, then that old MOON girl comes along to try to block him off, jealous of the beautiful SUNgirl. I'm talkin' a Cancer female tryin' to block a LEO!!!! IMPOSSIBLE, Gemini's SHINE happily with LEO"S,. Her warmth giving much in a Gemini's life & visa vera.
@queeneileen73 i agree eileen jeff a major player on boz' biggest hits lido shuffle and lowdown before toto signed their record deal in 77,these guys gained their mastery of the studio working for the great and good,streisand,jackson browne,steely dan and leo sayer to name a few.talented don't describe how awesome these guys were!!
Wow, great song. I hate that all radio plays from Boz is "Lowdown" and "Lido Shuffle" when he had many hit songs. I remember this song and "Jo Jo" got heavy play on Black radio in 1980.
I came across this song by accident one of my bad days and it just lifted my spirits don't know what it is.........always makes me feel better when I hear it...bonus seen him in concert back in 2003 still sounds great
"Been thinkin' 'bout you all night, guess you got me in your spell"........"It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms"....'one kiss did this to me'...
Boz, you've got such a way with words. I love this, and how real these words are.
Lyrics were by David Paich, not Boz. In fact, Lisa Dalbello, the female singing with Boz, originally did a demo with Toto in 1977, before this version was ever released.
There are plenty of "white guys" with soul. You should go to Dan Penn's website & look for his music. And, PLEASE don't tell me you don't know who he is. If you've ever heard Aretha Franklin, the Box Tops, James Carr, Clarence Carter & a heap of other soulsters, then you've got to know Dan Penn. He's a CLASSIC R&B songwriter who is really an unsung hero of music & champion of that great era from Muscle Shoals & Memphis. You have to do some searches in Rolling Stone & American Songwriter.
Also, visit the "Soulful Music" blogspot which has much more info on a whole lot of white guys with real soul. Believe me - it's not a new or isolated phenomenon! When you read on that site, you'll understand.
@TLDavis1230 hey, don't we all have a SOUL? and I might say, some of us express it in other ways, Boz, may be white upfront, who knows, maybe there's a tad of black soul generations ago....even Koreans have soul, they named a city after it "Souel" in Korea, hey ,,, just havin' fun with ya. I got some time on my hands, hahahah
Great song and video, Mempho! This is only the 2nd song I've heard by Mr. Scaggs (the first is obviously "Lowdown"). I might have to delve deeper into his discography.
This is the jam. Terrific song--Boz rocks, always. BTW, very nice editing job on the video.

I can also say as I wish.
Rap is crap period.
Doesn't matter how angry you get.
The rappers can't sing: most of them can't read music.
You will not change my opinion. Now....
go stomp off frustrated and hang with them.....

@MrLarryonthelake ignorance isn't something any of your favorite artists would endorse, think before you discredit thousands of people who are working in a slightly different medium. I'm sure since you don't like rap you don't take the time to find any that is worth listening to, the radio is not a credible source

I don't like rap. Rap isn't music. There's nothing you can say to change my mind. It's an opinion and you have opinions and I can assure you that I don't waste time trying to persuade you otherwise. You said to think ................................................Ok...I still don't like rap.
You like rap. Good for you! You can't dictate other's opinions....this is America....we are free to express our opinions. You can't determine my musical preferences.......Got IT?

@MrLarryonthelake Whether rap is music or not is not opinion, it is fact. You can not like rap and not try to discredit it by making claims that it isn't music, this is not a subjective opinion based claim, it is a claim on the objective nature of rap. And this isn't America, it is the internet, got it?

@drhanson7667
Again, in my opinion, I don't like rap. If you like rap...bully for you! Great....you have the right to like it and I to loath.
I like to hear singing of the melody, you would rather hear it recited.
You have entirely missed my point.....now....got it?
Also, In America, the internet is even more free than the country itself......so then, I am even more free to state my opinion. You can dictate yours....fine....but you cannot dictate my opinion...
You are very slow. Rap is crap.

@drhanson7667
Oh, one more thing....I have my friends at work...and they play their rap music and I have been listening to it for over 30 years and I still don't like it; they know it and they are fine with it.
So why do you have such a problem with my personal preferences? I bet you can't answer that; but if you do, you will again....miss the point.
MrLarryonthelake 9 months ago
@MrLarryonthelake
You have missed the point: I only have a problem with people saying rap is not music, and that is the only thing I ever argued with you about, not your opinions or personal preferences (though I did speculate upon your musical exposure).
Why are you unable to respond to what I actually said and not to what you are projecting onto my posts?
Troll or stupid? Based on your comment on freedom, I will assume the latter.
drhanson7667 9 months ago
@drhanson7667
Exactly, you do have a problem.
I made a statement based on hearing it from it's origins in the late 60's. My sons dig rap knowing I don't ... even when I state it's not music...rap has certain elements of music but it's mostly written without a score and it lacks the melody. It has rhythm and complex rhythms and a chord chop once in a while but that's all. I have a friend named Eric who hit it big and he doesn't wet the bed over my opinion that rap...isn't music. Bed-wetter.

@MrLarryonthelake generalizing anything is ignorant. saying all rap sux, or that all rock sounds the same, is like saying all black people are thugs, or all muslims are terrorists. im not trying to argue, becuz surely i wont change ur point of view. but ur wrong. u dont have to say it. its just the truth.

@MrLarryonthelake That's YOUR preference. If you hate hip-hop, that's your business. BFD! I can't believe these people are beefing with you. lmao. We like what we like. There's plenty of genres out there that I despise. Country music sucks deep! Death metal? WTF? Folk "music"...lol. Anywae, hip-Hop is a multi-billion dollar per year enterprise. In fact, 51% of rap music purchases are made by white people. Not tryna draw race into this, but I'm just sayin'...

@MrLarryonthelake I totally agree. Funny thing i saw this afternoon. I was out driving today and this white guy was driving a late 90's white Ford Explorer. He had all of his windows rolled down and his sound system pumped up. Guess what he had on - "Lil' Wayne"LOL. Here's the real kicker. He looked like he was in his mid 40's. LOL. If that idiot only knew how STUPID he looked, he would have crawled under a rock. LMAO

How funny ! Ironically, I saw the same guy ! His car is just like mine only my windows don't roll down!!! (dangit). Anyways, he looked like he was lip-syncing.....the rock you are referring to is probably Crocodile Rock. Yeah, those ol' men look pretty stupid singing away........You should have stopped him and told him so! Why didn't you?
Oh yeah, eventually he would have met you under the rock you were talking about...right Lizard King? :,)

This song makes me think of Bozzz's Mercuial (gemini born June8th)character. As Mercury is WARMED by the SUN retanining it's warmth, then that old MOON girl comes along to try to block him off, jealous of the beautiful SUNgirl. I'm talkin' a Cancer female tryin' to block a LEO!!!! IMPOSSIBLE, Gemini's SHINE happily with LEO"S,. Her warmth giving much in a Gemini's life & visa vera.

Lyrics were by David Paich, not Boz. In fact, Lisa Dalbello, the female singing with Boz, originally did a demo with Toto in 1977, before this version was ever released.

There are plenty of "white guys" with soul. You should go to Dan Penn's website & look for his music. And, PLEASE don't tell me you don't know who he is. If you've ever heard Aretha Franklin, the Box Tops, James Carr, Clarence Carter & a heap of other soulsters, then you've got to know Dan Penn. He's a CLASSIC R&B songwriter who is really an unsung hero of music & champion of that great era from Muscle Shoals & Memphis. You have to do some searches in Rolling Stone & American Songwriter.

Also, visit the "Soulful Music" blogspot which has much more info on a whole lot of white guys with real soul. Believe me - it's not a new or isolated phenomenon! When you read on that site, you'll understand.

@TLDavis1230 hey, don't we all have a SOUL? and I might say, some of us express it in other ways, Boz, may be white upfront, who knows, maybe there's a tad of black soul generations ago....even Koreans have soul, they named a city after it "Souel" in Korea, hey ,,, just havin' fun with ya.
