An interview with TOTO on their 1982 masterpiece TOTO IV. Everyone knows the hits… Like the #1 smash Africa and the #2 hit Rosanna but what about he secondary hits like the top 10 hit I Won’t Hold You Back and Make Believe sung amazingly by Bobby Kimball. Up next Steve Lukather and David Paich tell the stories some of those secondary hits and how they came to be. Also how Michael Jackson wanted Steve Lukather to play on Thriller and when Michael called Steve, hung up on him several times thinking it was a crank call. Including an appearance with Steve Porcaro talking about his dark offering on Toto IV… It’s a Feeling. An interview with a legendary band that should be in the rock and roll hame.. All of the records they’ve played on have combined sales of half a billion!

#1980s #rock #vinylstory
Up next… An interview with one of my favorite bands ever. Not only were they one of the biggest bands their time, their members were so prolific they played on some of the biggest albums of all time. Here they tell the story of their peak in the early 80s with an album that won multiple grammys when that mean something and ruled radio while influencing the biggest album ever. In fact when the biggest star on the planet called to ask them to play on his album, Today’s guest hung up on him several times because he though it was crank call. You’ll love these guys.
Hey music Junkies, Professor of Rock, always here to
celebrate the greatest artists and the greatest songs of all
time. “If other passengers are always asking you to turn your music down when they are riding in your car….you’re gonna love this channel.” Subscribe below right now. Click the bell so you never miss out.
Today we are starting a brand new show on this channel I’m going to let you decide what we call it. Let us know in the comments and whichever has the most votes we’ll use it. Or if you have a better suggestion for the title let us know. This show is going to about iconic artist’s biggest albums but with a curveball. We always talk about the hits on these big records but what about the secondary singles, the album tracks.. the lesser know songs… I was thinking of calling it either The Other ones, or Secondary Hits or the underdogs… You tell me which one you like and we’ll go with it. My first subject for this series is going to be Toto IV, one of my favorite albums ever.
Everyone celebrates the two big hits from this record, deservedly so… Africa which has now become one of the biggest songs of all time hit #1 and was the biggest hit from the grammy winning record and the #2 scorcher Rosanna the song that was inspired by a certain Hollywood actress who was dating keyboardist Steve Porcaro.
But what about the secondary hits from this huge album? After the first two singles Rosanna and Africa rocked radio there were three more singles and a few other songs that could’ve been singles that made this an essential record of all time. Make Believe was a secondary single that notched a #30 position on the billiard hot 100 as well as #19 cashbox.
