Steve Lukather on guitar 🎸 is a living legend and has also been an ace studio musician for many years

He still sounds this great in concert live. An absolute legend.

I agree definitely their best song.🎧

This is everything a Power Ballad should be!!&! ❤🎸🎶

Yeh this is a great song! Another Toto favorite is 99.

The band for the first 4 albums was Bobby Kimball. Vocals Steve Lukather. Guitar David Paich. Piano David Hungate. Bass Steve Porcaro Keyboards Jeff Porcaro. Drums They were all talented sessions musicians, who have played on 100s of records for different bands. Jeff Porcaro was such an incredible drummer and an influence on me as a teenage knucklehead drummer.

The first song I remember being a favorite. I was a pre-teen when this was on heavy rotation on the radio.

My personal favorite is GORGY PORGY BY THEM I HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!

I fell in love with it about 5 seconds into the first time I ever heard it on the radio when I was in junior high. I ran right home and figured out the guitar part and the piano part and just tried to figure out some of what the vocals were doing but he's such an incredible singer. And then of course I bought the single and played it into dust. It's still always sounds good to me. All these guys were just so at the top of their game.

This one is fun to play 🥁🥁🔥

Awesome song! Bobby Kimball has some great ad libs in this song!

So I just stumbled onto your channel and I have to say your reactions to The Righteous Brothers are some of the best reactions I've ever seen.

Boz Skaggs had these members in his band before they formed TOTO

This band started in the late 70's & has been performing for over 40 years now. They mix all types of genres in their sound. They have had some great hits such as "Africa", "Rosanna", "I'll Supply The Love", "Georgy Porgy", "99", "Make Believe", "Stranger In Town", "I'll Be Over You", "Without Your Love", "Stop Loving You", "Pamela" etc.

This was their debut single

Great band, very underrated, captured the heartbeat of the 70s plus, have stood the test of time and gained the respect of their fan base and critics.

The guitar on this song reminds of the one on the song Owner Of A Lonely Heart by Yes both are jams

This song is awesome, I was in middle school when this came out.. they have so many good songs

Rosanna next?

@9:00 Here's a brief and very basic explanation of the drum info it provided; feel free to skip if you don't care to learn: Most standard (western) rock music is a 4/4 time signature. Meaning 4 beats per measure. To really hear this check out "Staying Alive" by Bee Gees (which I know you've already reacted to) In your head you can count "1-2-3-FOUR-1-2-3-FOUR-1-2-3-FOUR" That's a 4/4 time signature. There are many "standard" drum patterns: Rumba, Waltz, Polka, Blues. A "Rock Beat" is another standard pattern, characterized by 4 beats, with the BASS (kick drum) on beats 1 and 3, while the SNARE is on 2 and 4. Cymbal crashes are typically on 1 and played simultaneous with the bass-kick. The high-hat (which is two small cymbals facing each other like a clam shell) sit on a pole going through the center. One is stationary, while the other is attached to the pole that goes up and down, controlled by the left foot pedal - pushing the pedal down keeps the two shells locked together, while slightly letting up on the pedal moves the pole up, allowing space between the clam shells - where they barely touch and eventually not touch at all. This allows a variety of sounds based on how much they touch each other; either a solid "CLACK" if they're closed together, or a SSSSSizzzle sound if their slightly open as they vibrate off each other. You can sometimes hear the High-hat get opened slightly on various hits giving it a zzzip-zzzip-zzzip sound. So it goes something like "tik-tik-tik-tssss-tik-tik-tik-tssss" Van Halen's music typically has a lot of sizzle in their high-hat use - sounds like constant dashing sounds with the time/tempo. (standard right-handed drummers): The right hand hits the high-hat repeatedly to give the "timing" or tempo, of the song, while the left hand smacks the Snare drum off-set from the Bass (which is controlled by the right foot). In the standard 4/4 measure, the High-Hat usually is hit in "8th notes" meaning while there's 4 beats to a measure, the high hat is hit 8 times - twice as fast - so once on each bass, once on each snare, and once in between each. This then creates the following sequence that we drummers verbalize as: 1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and-1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and. The Bass starts it on 1 and 3, the Snare on 2 and 4, while the high-hat is snapped on all 4 beats, and all the AND (in between) beats. "Bass-and-Snare-and-Bass-and-Snare-and-Bass-and-Snare-and" So applying this logic to what you read on the song info: it explains a bit of a variation from the usual giving the song unique flavor "the high-hat is doing triples" meaning instead of straight 8th notes, its snapping in sequence of 3s with a brief pause between each triple. 'diss-diss-diss - - diss-diss-diss - - diss-diss-diss" "The Snare is playing on 2 and 4" (which as I pointed out is standard) "The Bass Drum is on 1 and on the "AND of 2" So if you compare to what I explained above, "1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and" the BASS instead is on the 1 (as per usual), and instead of waiting till 3, it comes in half a beat early on the "AND-of-2" (the half-between between 2 and 3). "BASS-and-SNARE-BASS-3-and-SNARE" If you listen to it again, you'll hear the Bass come in a bit early like a stutter-step. In a nutshell - all that fancy jargon you read just means this simple breakdown. Now when you listen to a standard rock song - you'll usually be able to hear the 1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and" pattern, and you can play that in your head through the whole song with loud cymbal crashes coming in on 1 about every 4 measures or so. NOTE: Prog-rock is typically what occurs when bands start straying from the usual 4/4 and starts adding experimenting with more unique time-signatures. (6/6 or 6/8, or 7/7 or 12/12) Rush, Tool, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater are all great examples of bands that often stray from the standard rock beat.

This was an 80's MTV classic

I like Zach Galifianakis playing the piano one handed in the intro ! Lol, lol !

Great Review!

2 members of Kansas split from the band to join Toto....but before they could join....they had to tell Toto they were not in Kansas anymore..

Rosanna is a great song by toto
