Dad would would very much appreciate all of the love, you guys! Thanks!! 🌺🫶🏻💯🔥

"Africa", "Hold The Line" and "Rosanna" were their biggest hits, Toto was monsterous.

The outro was the result of them keeping the tape rolling at the end of the song and the band just jamming out. Steve Lukather's guitar solo in that outro is one of my favorites. The guy is insanely good, a really nice guy and funny as hell.

At the Grammy awards the following year, Toto 4 won album of the year and Rosanna won record of the year

No matter how many times I hear it, this song never gets old. Every part is just immaculate.

One of the hardest songs to play on drums EVER! Amazing

Bobby Kimball was so underrated

Not only were most of these guys on Boz Scaggs “Silk Degrees” same ones played on Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”. Even after winning Grammy’s doing their own music they still played on other superstars albums. 🤯

Best outro solo ever, period. Steve Lukather is one of the best ever to pick up a guitar.

Nope. There are no words that adequately describe this one. Every note is perfection.

Don't sleep on that bass line. The rhythm section is just incredible and the outro Luke is just going nuts!!!

A little bit of trivia...the video for the song has a "West Side Story" theme. The dancer in the red dress was Penny in "Dirty Dancing". Patrick Swayze also was one of the un-credited dancers in the video.

Steve Lukather is Legendary! He's definitely got skills with the guitar. MAN, I miss music like this!! Toto in this time (early 80's) was Fire!!!!!

Boys, Toto is currently touring all over the Midwest so you should check them out! Saw them and they are still amazing 40 years later

When this song came out I was working in a mall in San Antonio Texas and across the mall was a sound store. And they would play this song over and over and I loved every time they played it. And they would crank it too. Great memories.

Arguably the most talented band ever

It's great to see you younger fellas discovering the greatness of Toto! One of my very favorite bands - been listening since the 70s because their music is timeless.

Killer song, band and musicianship! "Rosanna" peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard magazine Hot 100 pop singles chart, held back from the No. 1 spot by the new wave synth-pop hit "Don't You Want Me" by the Human League and then by the massive "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor from the "Rocky III" movie soundtrack. You might also like Toto's hits "I'll Be Over You" and "Make Believe" and "I Won't Hold You Back" and "Good for You."

I feel so blessed to have lived through the best era of music ever. This was on the playlist ALWAYS! The are currently on tour. Really not happy that I am not near a venue. Don't miss them, if it's near you.

This song stayed at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 6 weeks. It was blocked from being #1 by The Human League - “Don’t You Want Me” then blocked again by Survivor - “Eye Of the Tiger”.

Toto have some mindblowing stuff outside of the hits everyone know. Better World from Mindfields, the title track from Falling In Between, songs like Mama from their Hydra album....the list goes on and on. They're one of the best groups ever.

That great Porcaro 1/2 time shuffle. Steve's keyboards in the middle and Lukather with that out solo. Then if you watch the video, you get Cynthia Rhodes. Unbelievable song.

I’m a first time viewer. I really appreciate your reaction to this song. Imagine being a freshman in hs and discovering TOTO. I remember hearing HOLD THE LINE, and thoroughly rocking out to it. ROSANNA came out the year I graduated. I’ve pretty much loved everything I’ve ever heard from TOTO. They are one of the best bands of their time. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Lol😊

Rosanna must have been "making the rounds" with the musicians because this isn't the only song written about her.

This song takes me right back to high school. So cool to see you react to this. 99 is another great Toto song as well!👍🏻

With all that amazing musicianship……DONT FORGET THE BASS….EXCELLENT!!!!!!

Gotta say, I really enjoy your reaction videos. My dad(in his 70s) and I, when watching your "Year of the Cat" reaction, just knew as the song went on, that you would be blown away. It was so much fun knowing what you didn't, but then seeing your joy at an amazing song. Keep 'em coming.

New subscriber since yesterday and I binged watched yall for 4 hours!!!! You are THE TRUTH and your reactions to Lowdown and Sara Smile were on point!!! Toto was BAAAD!!! Sending love from Portland, Oregon!!!!

While you are on Toto, check out "Georgy Porgy". Great song, and very different, featuring a female vocalist, Cheryl Lynn, that is incredible.

The majority of the members of Toto were all session musicians.. Either individually or together they have played on at least 5,000 albums and those albums have amassed sales of 500 million + units.

The famous Jeff Porcaro "Rosanna shuffle" beat. The amazing drummer perfectly gels with the rest of the band on this song. If you want some of the newer side of Toto, take a listen to anything on either the "Mindfields" or "Falling in Between" albums. Rock music at its finest. Love that you're getting into Toto.

Check out Toto's song Hydra (prog rock/cinematic rock) from their second album Hydra. Perfect to listen to with headphones. There's a lot going on musically and listen carefully to the beginning...maybe even turn up the volume for the first 33 seconds. It sets the tone for the song with very cinematic synths and sound effects of water dripping and a dragon's breath. I know that may sound nerdy, but it is a great song. Written by the entire band and features a bit of everything you love about Toto.

Oh my goodness 😳 I loved this so much. I didn't realize just how great this song really is. I definitely slept on this one. I'm with you guys, I ❤ Toto and their amazing artistry. I remember hearing this often as a kid, but it is even better now. Why don't they make real music like this anymore, is beyond comprehension 🎼 Makes me wish my name was Rosanna.

You guys never cease to crack me up! You are all SO funny! To me (a 60 year-old man) this song was always just a song I had heard. After your reactions, I am actually appreciating it much more. Thanks for doing what you do. Can't wait for the next one. :)

Check out 99 and Georgy Porgy by them! Always loved Toto,still have all of their albums.I love watching y`alls reactions!Keep On Rockin'

The production, the vocals, the horns, the synthesizer, the groove switch ups, the catchiness, the solos, and that vibe!

You 3 dudes are the coolest. Great acknowledgment of a masterpiece.

Great reaction. You might want to check out Toto playing on "Got To Be Real" by Cheryl Lynn. She returned the favor by singing 2nd lead on Toto's "Georgy Peorgy". Two more examples of their ability to play any style of music they wish.

They did win record of the year with Rosanna in 1983. Plus, they got Album and Procucer of the year with Toto IV. 👍🏻😃❤️

love your enthusiasm for the smooth as butter yacht rock era, double Ambrosia up next

Toto just blows it skyward! Falling stars, glitter all the way down. Whew!

This is one of the Perfect songs. There aren't that many.

I remember as a kid watching the video on Friday Night videos brings back memories!!!!

1982-1985...INSANE hits everywhere, Madonna Def Leppard, Prince, Michael, Huey, Bryan Adams, Genesis/Phil Collins solo, Ozzy, Duran Duran, Van Halen, tons of random new wave bands like Human League/Don't You Want Me, tons of metal bands doing a lot of their best like Maiden, Priest, Motley, Ratt, Dio, lots of 70's people still doing great shit like Lionel Ritchie/Bowie/Hall and Oates/Elton/Stones/Floyd...and there's even more, country was at a peak with Dolly and Kenny and lots of others, rap was starting to get big, and then there's John Cougar Melloncamp, Bruce, Adam Ant, Billy Idol, Foreigner, The Police, early U2...it's just fucking endless. Check the top 40s, and top 100 lists during that time frame, it's nuts.

By far the oldies are the best.

I hated Toto until I saw them open for Yes several years ago. They blew me away. ☮️❤️

Africa was a HUGE song. In that year’s Grammy Awards Toto opened the show with a live version of it. Toto couldn’t physically be at the show so it was fixed for them to perform from wherever they were on tour. It was that huge. I’m sure it won at least one Grammy also. I could be wrong on that but I don’t think so. Try Asia! Great great band formed when Toto broke up.

The bass is amazing too in this song. Too know that this guy walked in a room where a lot of players tried and just pulled out a bass line in a second becoming you are the one that I want from Grease. The Toto guys left such a mark on music.

Saw Toto in 2018. They still sound great!

Without your Love, I’ll be Over you and I Won’t Hold you Back - great Love songs with Steve Lukather on lead vocals - worth a listen.

"I'll Supply The Love" reached #45 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in 1979. I hope you guys do "99" and "Without Your Love." They're more ballad like but I think you'll really enjoy them.

Remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I first heard this one on the radio back in the day! This song was written about Roseanna Arquette, an actress.

You cant replicate PERFECTION

Love drummer Jeff Pocaro’s shuffle throughout this song: combo of John Bonham on Fool in the Rain and Bernard Purtie’s shuffle!

A song so good it's..Sky of the moment. I agree! lol

One of the biggest hits from the 80's. Toto's Rosanna, nothing else to say. For me Toto, ELO and Supertramp are top Tier from your channel guys. Many thanks!! Best regards from Chile!! 🙂

One of Toto's best concerts is The Falling Inbetween tour in France in 2007.

Guys, an important note: Steve Lukather sings the verses flowing around G major, but then all the transition hooks up high to F major are sung by Bobby Kimball, who truly made the vocals so memorable, in my opinion. That being said, Toto is a band's band. No one was better in that era musically than these guys.

It wasn't a hit, but "English Eyes" is a great Toto song with a phenomenal Bobby Kimball vocal.

One of the best outros as a pure jam in a pop song.

Wife here..Always loved this song!!..We sang this in High School Chorus!!..Great Memories !!..Awesome Reaction!!👍

Have you tried "Hold the Line" by Toto yet? It is straight fire from beginning to end

Toto and steely Dan are criminally talented

You're definitely not in Kansas anymore, Toto!! I had forgotten how dang good this one was!! Thanks for the reminder!

Please don't tell me that y'all don't know Rosanna Arquette with Madonna in "Desperately Seeking Susan" 1985. The entirety of the Arquette family are in the Entertainment Industry. David is one of the brothers, well known, whom was married to "Friends" alum Courteney Cox Then there is also the other living sister, Patricia, a very noteworthy television actress and Academy Award winner. I just remember when this song came out and hit the radio waves it was a nonstop talk all about the song that Toto wrote for that famous girl~ Rosanna! If I recall correctly, somewhere down along the line I'm not sure if it came directly from Rosanna or from one of the guys in the band, but someone said that she did inspire them with the name title, however not the lyrics. I believe she broke up with the band member shortly after the release. I dig your reaction guys~ oh those faces! 👍 😊

you guys should also listen to the Hooters "all you zombies", "and we danced", "satellite", and more from them are all goood

My grandma was a Roseanna. Her mother was Italian her father Scottish Irish. I love Scotland and would die for her . But I’ve got an emotional connection to Greece, through perhaps Roseanna’s mixed ancestry.

Another song by Toto to check out is "99" from their 1979 album Hydra. It was one of my radio faves that winter - hearing it *always* takes me back (just like "Rosanna" in the summer of ‘82 and "Africa" in the spring of ‘83).

My rock friend went to see Journey the other day. Toto opening. I said I wanted a true review of Toto, since I love them and thinks they are schmaltzy! He came back with, “They were amazing! I never thought to go to Toto for guitar shredding!” 😂 Me: Lukather? Hello?!!

Only two words to say: "pure musicianship!"

"For my greedy purposes..."- Awesome !!

And remember, some of then were playing on Boz Scaggs Lowdown and on Steely Dan songs as well.

The next Toto song you should listen to is "Pamela". Vocalist Joseph Williams (son of composer John Williams) really shines and has a bit of the "Rosanna" feel.

Please react to " 99" by Toto, my favorite song of theirs. Seen them in concert a couple of times, they don't disappoint.

One of the great drum grooves.

The best studio musicians EVER!!

I saw them live in 1982 at the Louisville Palace when I was 19 and they were absolutely amazing. Just fire. You must react to “99” next. Another classic from Toto.

Love Toto! This one is one of the favorites, along with Hold the Line, Africa so many more!!

70s kid here. I'm announcing that because. What I'm about to say. Has been uttered in some form, by past generations. For the first time. I think there is a rather large grain of truth / case to be made. That our retirement communities will not only be rockin. But. We will have a much more eclectic, better overall quality of music. To choose from. In any genre.

Caught them on tour with Journey. Great show! These guys still rock!!! Do miss Jeff Porcaro, RIP, how could you not, of course. Of course, they have another amazing drummer in his place, but there will only ever be one Jeff Porcaro.

THE BEAT!!! 💯😎 originated by Bernard Purdy with the "Purdy Shuffle".

They throw everything but the kitchen sink into this song. And IT WORKS beautifully.

Love, love your reaction. I was rocking and dancing along with you guys. Great musicians! This song is fire!!!

Guys please ! , do next from them, these other's super songs : "Goodbye girl", "Angel don't cry", "St' George & the dragon", "Georgy porgy", "All us boys", "Goodbye Eleonore" , "99" , & "Turn back" .

Great memories. My first son was born in 1982. This song still gets me.

A nasty groove by some truly master musicians

I dare anyone to name a song that has a guitar/piano tag-team duet as good as this. Let alone the horns and drums.

Toto is FIRE! They have so many Damm good songs! You want live, see and listen to Home of the Brave from Turkey. Wow! There is Straight from the Heart, Till the End, I can't stop loving you, Pamela, Going home which Justin Bieber likes😁 A groovy song like You Supply the love, called Waiting for your love. Bobby kills it on that one too.

Their first album is so under rated, fire hits still undiscovered by most. “Angela” once heard you’ll never forget it. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Agree with you guys: this has always been my favorite song by them. Super talented band.

Aldo Nova double take 1. "Monkey on your Back" 2. "Hold Back the Night" You won't be disappointed. Trust me. :) Great Reaction choice by the way. Toto absolutely ROCKS

Just saw Toto in concert last night. Lukather is the last original member left performing in the band. But David Paich is still part of the band as musical director. Because of his health, he can’t travel as much with the band. He will occasionally pop in at a venue and play with the band. The singer is now Joseph Williams who started singing on the seventh one album. He does a great job as well. Check out some songs with his voice as well. Pamela, Stop Loving You, Till the End, Burn, Orphan just to name a few. But last night they came out right away blasting with the song Afraid of Love. They played Hold the Line, Rosanna, I’ll Supply the Love, Home of the Brave, Africa, I’ll Be Over You and more. They are still such a great band. They picked outstanding musicians to play drums, keyboards, percussion and bass. If you guys have a chance to get out and see them live, please do so. Amazing musicians ALWAYS!

Such fun! Never gets old. Thanks guys

Love Toto, love this song, loved your reaction 😀😍

Even if you'd heard pieces of this before, you recognized important musical things...like space!

This song is a masterpiece.

Top 10 drum into, and fills. Awesome song.

There are four bands that experimented with music, Toto, Supertramp, Pink Floyd and Alan Parsons Project. They were real musicians making authentic tunes, hope you enjoy them as much as I did back then.

What an awesome band and what an awesome song! Great reaction!

my favorite song of all time... this is a percect song .... recorded. I have heard this over 1000 times and I still try to find a sound I have not heard or can sing! tru story!
