‘Look What You’ve Done to Me’: Does Boz Scaggs’s 1980 hit feature the most talented American backing band ever assembled?

Boz Scaggs’s 1980 hit ‘Look What You’ve Done to Me’ was recorded at short notice for the film *Urban Cowboy*, after the studio asked Scaggs and co-writer David Foster to provide music for scenes due to be shot the next day. The article argues that the session’s roster of musicians was unusually impressive, drawing on members of Toto and the Eagles, and helped make the song a standout on the film’s soundtrack.

Foster played keyboards, while the Eagles contributed backing vocals to the recording, which reached number 14 on the US charts. Those vocals were later replaced by female singers, including former Ikette Venetta Fields, on the *Urban Cowboy* soundtrack. The session took place as the Eagles were nearing their 1980 break-up, making the combination of musicians especially striking.
