Since 1982 the song "Africa" has become a worldwide sensation - one of a string of hits that Toto has had over the last 40-plus years. The band's founding members Steve Lukather and David Paich, along with longtime singer Joseph Williams - serious musicians who don't take themselves too seriously - talk with Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz about a song that was almost dropped, and how Toto has continued to hold the line and supply the love.

They will never get in, as Lukather had a dust-up with Jann Wenner from Rolling Stone many years ago. Totally disgraceful to allow that to be an issue so many years later!

@gloriawalters1988 2 года назад

As long as I can remember, Toto was called "faceless studio musicians" by the critics of Rolling Stone... I also remember an interview that the band did back in the 80's where drummer Jeff Porcaro (RIP) basically stated that critics didn't know anything and every bad review that critics gave them in the press he used it to line a bird cage with it...so yeah I would love them to get into the RRHOF, but I don't plan to hold my breath waiting for it to happen.

@fredofromchicago777 2 года назад

I was in the music business in LA for over 20 years. I can tell you without a doubt all the members of Toto are highly regarded and respected. Most of you would be shocked how many songs they have written and produced for other bands. Plus as studio musicians the Porcaro Brothers are legendary. They were never fond of touring. It's very common for successful bands to splinter into parts and money is always an issue.

I guess I’m one of the few that isn’t surprised by their lengthy credit list cuz I grew up always studying the liner notes of cassettes and cd’s. I kept noticing Lukather, Paich, Jeff and Steve Porcaro’s names showing up on other popular artists albums and thinking “Man, these guys must really be good & also in high demand”. Turns out that they were. Big time!

@@JasonNation72 Maybe that's because Toto is not taken seriously and normally gets categorized as "Yacht Rock" (and let's face it, their lyrics are really utter garbage). But Lukather is ranked as the number one session player of all time. If you look at Toto as just one project under hundreds, he's neither under-, nor overrated. He's "rated" exactly right. And I bet he's happy not to be Clapton these days! At least he seems like a humble, nice dude, and not a raging bigot like "God".

My favorite song of theirs is "Georgy Porgy", you can still catch it on old school R&B stations. I love 80's music, back then if a song was funky or soulful R&B stations played it no matter what color the performers were. We need real music and musicians again today.

I absolutely LOVE Toto. My teen years were in the 90s listening to hip-hop and R&B mostly, but have loved all music genres. And even though I was only like 5, I remember hearing Africa for the first time in the 80s. That song entrances me. I'm black and ai didn't give a damn it was a white band. I just always thought they were Afrikaaner or something. I'm learning they're American with this story but I don't care. I just love the music. And when Weezer remade it, I was delighted. It's the pace of the song that still draws me in. I can't do anything else when that song is on. I know a lot of their catalog and the music makes me feel like I'm in another place. And a lot of their songs have been sampled for hip-hop, too. And I'm not surprised they've worked with the artists listed in this story because they are all too my favorite artists.
