I had that album too........on a cassette! I loved his music after seeing the movie, Looking For Mr. Goodbar. I have tried to find the soundtrack to the movie recently but it is not available. I had it on a cassette also. Need to get his music on CD now.

That was an incredible movie. I'll never forget the last scene, scared me so; showing the dangers of single life for women who took chances. Can't even speak anymore about it, still scares me. The fade out at the end, WOW.

Don't remember the soundtrack, really like Boz, maybe that's when I started to like him, can't remember.

It scared me too. Another song from it was Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way". Diane Keaton & Richard Gere.
 
I didn't know this, but "Toto" was a great group.

From an article about how "Lowdown" came to be :

Scaggs took to writing with keyboardist David Paich. The pair co-wrote half of the tracks on Silk Degrees, including “Lowdown.” Paich’s various synthesizer textures give “Lowdown” much of its musical flavor, along with the dance floor-ready rhythm served up by bassist David Hungate and drummer Jeff Porcaro. Paich, Hungate, and Porcaro would soon start up their own band, a little outfit called Toto that would soon become a hitmaking machine in its own right.

Boz Scaggs was a frequent billed act at Bill Graham's Fillmore West (Carousel Ballroom on Market Street) in San Francisco after he left the Steve Miller band. Graham had a wide eclectic musical taste that he fed Counterculture persons like this person with by billing a range of genres beside rock. Scaggs more R&B oriented was well received. For usually 4 or 5 nights a week, Fillmore West had 2 or 3 world and SF scene touring bands play into the wee hours. Was maybe $7 to get in the door. Those were the days!
 
Thanks so much. That album was my first intro to jazz rock and I still love it.
