Young people this is MUSIC!

Boz has been seriously underrated. He has a beautiful voice.

This song literally floored me when it came out! I believe it was '78! Boz is one of my absolute favorites, hands down!!!

Back in the early and mid '70's, Boz used to have a standing invitation to my house anytime he was home from touring. I knew his younger brother Ricky well and he would let me know when his brother would be in town. I would plan a pool party, get some goods to barbeque and at least one keg of beer (for those hot Dallas nights) and an open bar. They brought the liquor and I filled the bar with mixers. I would have about 20 - 25 people over. He would often grab one of my guitars and I would play my bass and we would just jam a bit. The most notorious night was the night I had both he and Stevie Ray Vaughn over. The three of us started playing by that pool. People were falling asleep listening and waking up later to listen some more. We played until the sun came up and everybody who had lasted the night all went out to breakfast. Historic night in my memory.

Wow, I wish I was a fly on the wall at that pool party! 70's were the BEST daze of my life! It was totally opposite from these uncertain times. I had just came back from the war after two tours and was ready to make up for lost time and boy, did I .

@@sonnytavares2006 Kudos to you for your service. I was 4F (birth defects) but many of my buddies did one or two tours. One worked for a 3 letters outfit and wore European clothes and carried Belgin weapons. Another was a crazy Ranger. I became a blues musician. Never quite made it big but I helped a lot of others get there. Played the Jalapeno circuit mostly. Was always happy to have ex-military at our shows. And a good time was had by all.

I could not be more envious.......Stevie?!!! Really?.........how amazing that must have been. I still have my vinyl of Silk Degrees.....almost worn out. I of course replaced it with a cassette and now I have the CD and still listen to it regularly. It never gets old.

AIN'T IT STILL BEAUTIFUL.

kinda sexy, sultry lyrics that you don't expect a man of almost 80 years to sing, but it's his song and he wrote it in his prime 45 years ago, and it's a masterpiece. I've always loved this song and Boz Scaggs is a seriously amazing musician.

Boz Scaggs is simply wonderful. I love that he recognized the talents of his backup singers by sharing the spotlight with them.

Just saw him in concert last month. The guy is almost 80 and he’s still got it. And he shares the stage so well with his musicians, introducing them and showcasing their talents. Boz Scaggs is a class act.

Oh I melt, Oh I dream when I hear this song.

This is when music 🎶🎶 was music!!!! This is just one of the great songs by Boz Scaggs.

My sister got married a couple years ago..she said I'm 65 help me pick a wedding song. I looked at her and said it's easy Lorrie..Boz Look what you've done to me. He was one of our faves back in the day..we met him in the 70's when he was married to Carmella..met both of them nicest people ever !! Anyway this is a beautiful song..thanks for the memories and Merry Christmas 🎄✌️

Love the backup singers beautiful lady 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿❤️💕🔥👍🏿🤩

Wow I forgot how wonderful Boz Skaggs can be !

Love Boz and there isn't anyone that is like him. His way with blues, his vocals with a touch of something so special, I know his voice from anywhere. Thanks Harri

This concert on you tube is from Boz at 60 years old. It is the very best concert ever. Not one person including crew gave us less than A game. I have seen it many times. When I want to connect with great music I watch it again. Do yourself a favor. Watch the whole concert.

This was written by Boz and David Foster for the Movie " Urban Cowboy" in 1980.This version has a fabulous female chorus, while a second version has The Eagles singing background vocals. Just a beautiful song, with a sad story displayed by Boz's emotional voice. Definitely hear the David Foster influence with great piano skills. Fabulous. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Neal. Classy choice, just lovely. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

I had the good fortune to see him in ‘76 in Mpls. he was fantastic!

What a beautiful song! It's so beautiful I want to cry. I never cry!!

Boz Scaggs had no idea how big he was Down Under until his first tour here in 1978, which included a concert at the Perth Entertainment Centre. “I was like ‘Oh my god, I feel like a star’,” he says. “I was given such a reception enormous crowds and such a great reception.” and I was one of the lucky ones to see him in Sydney. Peace out.

I am somewhat lucky growing up with these songs ! I am 76 and still playing them. Thank You Boz

Boz Scaggs is one of my favorite singers.

This song (the studio version), in my opinion, may very well be THE sexiest song ever made. The passionate yet tender longing in his voice, the lyrics, instrumentation and arrangement are both stunning and haunting.

I originally had requested the studio version - it'so good and Scaggs was younger when he recorded it. That being said, I went back and edited it with the live version as Harri digs the live performances.

this kind of beauty is rare these days VERY VERY rare. And i'm proud we go back to my generation from the 1970's to get the BEST love music, JAZ and all of music for that matter that brings so much joy to our souls. Love the review my brother.

One of the most beautiful lyrics and song..luv boz

Boz Scaggs is amazing. He sings this song like it's first time he's ever sang it.

One of the best love songs, ever.

Boz is the boss.

I had a dream about this song last night and I woke up singing it in the morning. I always loved this song when I was kid.

If you haven't heard this singer you need to hear him. He's the best and my new favorite. Boz is one of the greats! The new singer is Tommy Johannes.

I have watched this video many times and absolutely love how beautiful and romantic it is. Thank you Harri for playing some of the best older videos !

Biz gets it right every time! His music has perfect vocals! I just watched another reaction by 3 guys abd they went simply crazy over his singing and the arrangements of the song " Jo Jo!". Who backs up their back up singers? No one! Lol Boz does! Loved that reaction! girls ---/Jo JOOO0000ooo.. JO JOOO! Boz Jo JOOO! LOL so cool!

Love dancing to this song

Not only is Boz Scaggs a great singer let's give it up for the backup singers! Wow!!! Great song 👌

Hi Harri ... what a wonderful song ... from when I used to live in the Bay Area (San Francisco, or more accurately, Oakland, California). Boz used to sing for Steve Miller until he went solo, and you can see why BOTH things happened. This song was originally released on the album, Silk Degrees, which came out in the 70's while I was living out there, where ALL the great music was emanating from at that time. All around where I was living, there were VERY famous groups like Tower of Power, Sly & The Family Stone, The Steve Miller Band, Montrose, The Grateful Dead, Credence Clearwater Revival, Sammy Hagar, The Tubes, Santana (and his brother's band, Malo), Janis Joplin (& her band, Big Brother and the Holding Company), Jefferson Airplane/Starship, Journey, Van Morrison, Doobie Brothers, Hoodoo Rhythm Devils, Graham Central Station, Elvin Bishop, Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, Dan Hicks And The Hot Licks, Hot Tuna, Huey Lewis And The News, Pointer Sisters, Eddie Money, Pablo Cruise, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Y&T (called Yesterday and Today when I lived there) ... Is it any wonder I just thought that was the way music was supposed to sound ... EVERYWHERE ??? I not only HEARD these groups on the radio but saw many and roadied for a few of them. I met Eddie Money one night while working as a "fill-in" roadie for the group, Yesterday and Today (now Y&T). I was friends of the bands, but because I wasn't a "regular roadie", I wasn't allowed to sit directly on stage. I had to sit backstage in a waiting room and, while there, Eddie Money came in. He was just getting started in the area, and was doing the rounds, building connections, so he showed up to do a "meet-and-greet" with anyone he could find. Surprise, I was the only person there, so we "shot the shit" for a bit. After a while, he spotted an old acoustic guitar sitting in the corner, picked it up and began to play. He was a really nice guy ... and very personable. I liked him. I'm sure I was forgotten the moment he left, but still, I was always grateful for those moments, and was sad to hear of his passing. I should write a book, right ??? I've certainly got enough stories. Oh yeah, Night Ranger (1979) came from that area, in the year following my exit from the state (November 1978).

I saw Boz a few years ago and he still sounded great singing this incredible song.

HIGH HARRI...... Great tune from one of the best song writers/singer and incredible voice ever. My Best Of Boz has 66 songs in it..... I've seen Boz Live 3 times. always a phenomenal show with the ladies throwing their underwear on stage.

I hope you get to see him in concert should he ever come your way. I’ve seen him 7 times and I’d see him 100 times more if I could.

This whole concert was perfect. They spared nothing. Probably the best concert I've ever seen/heard. What a band.

Boz Scaggs on of the top blues jazz, rock, funk, soul, R&B masters his recent albums have been great they should re-release his whole music catalog. I hope to see him one day I hear his shows are really great, but he has some of the best talented players. I like his guitar playing, it's simple let the instrument play it's part, but don't over do it We sometimes forget to let the instruments to take us away. The build with the piano and add each piece of the band comes in perfectly. Love this music.

This is a song written for the movie urban cowboy. Not only is it a great song but it fits right into the movie seamlessly. Beautiful

" Boz " the man, the myth, the legend. Highly underrated, but always a vibe to listen to. Smooth, soulful and cool at the same time. Made a huge impact back in the day.

BOZ is the Man...! I used to sing this with my band Back in the Day...LOVE the Emotions that this song brings out❤

Wow I remember Boz when he was with The Steve Miller Band! Thanks for the great memories.

This song is a great showcase for his voice... love it!

The whole "Silk Degrees" album is great. Remember when it came out in 1976. It has a bluesy sound to it. Two of his most famous songs from that album are "Lowdown" & "Lido Shuffle". Some other songs are "It's Over", "What Can I Say", "Harbor Lights", "Georgia", "Jump Street" etc.

Boz has a beautiful way of telling a story... This performance always leaves me an emotional wreck! Brings back such wonderful memories of a lost love..thanks Harri...as always!

Boz is so talented. I have many of his albums for so many years now. Sings so bluesy and soulful and his fellow musicians are wonderful too. He can t make a bad song. Great revue Harri.

Never thought I'd see a reaction to this here. Or a live version! Thank you.

I don't envy you, having to find words to say after this. The only song more beautiful (IMO) than this is 'Sierra' - live version from this same concert, I believe.

Classic Scaggs, beautiful live rendition.

Whats' to say Boz Scaggs one of the best now with over 50 years and still out on tour this day. His voice was the key to his music and he had the beat, the blues, the disco, and the rock and roll. He started with Steve Miller Band and then striking out on his own, including work with Booker T & the MGs as a studio backup. You need to go to his early days and try some of his other music:
