R.I.P. Jeff Porcaro, one of the greatest studio drummers ever. His half time shuffle on "Rosanna" is legendary, along with the outro guitar solo by Steve Lukather. The full album version of that song should be next.

Toto consists of the best session musicians and vocalists who got together and made their own band. One of the best bands ever and CRIMINALLY underrated. In addition to making the soundtrack for the 1984 movie Dune, Toto was also the band behind Michael Jackson on the Thriller album.

Hold the Line was the first of many hits for the band that formed in Van Nuys, California in 1977. When I first heard this song I figured they definitely had a winner, a pure rock sound. Hold the Line quickly rose up the charts to number 5 in early 1978. The band earned a Grammy nomination for best new artist in 1979. Africa was my favorite song of theirs from 1982 and probably their biggest. Other gems by them were " Rosanna", " I'll Supply the Love" and 99. I always look forward to you guys and your reactions and the variety of music like Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Tears for Fears, Flyleaf, Barry White and of course Al Stewart.

The story has it that Jeff Porcaro and David Paich conceived the idea during the sessions for Boz Scagg's "Silk Degrees" album, which Paich composed songs for and arranged the music as a whole.The members of Toto have played on countless records, often together. Drummer Jeff Porcaro once told in an interview that the producer asked him to play on certain style. The producer then played the reference record and Jeff stated that it was himself playing. Toto epitomises also the strong harmonies that has always been a strong point of American bands of this era.

You'll get to hear just how good they're live, and Bobby, can really belt out the lead vocals!

These guys came in and wanted to play the game I was playing "Tron". They let me finish and while I was playing, another person came in and said, "Come on guys its time for the show". The guy waiting for me told the man, "tell them we got held up". He then played after me. I finally realized it was ToTo.
