    "I bless the rains down in Africa" ... "I know that I must do what's right, sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti" ... "The wild dogs cry out in the night, as they grow restless longing for some solitary company" - I love the lyrics to this song, always makes me want to jump on a plane and go to Kenya on a safari!

    One of my favorite songs of all time! I’ve listened to this for 40 years and never grow tired of it. This was s song that a lot of the band members didn’t want to record because they felt it wasn’t there style but the lead singer convinced them to record it and it turned out to be one of their biggest hits

    Here's a song that will blow your minds and her voice wil give you an eargasm. The band is a metal band the song is more of a ballad though at the start and gets faster as the song goes on. Asami the singer started as an R&B singer before being recruited to sing power metal. The 2 guitarists are both better than many guys even though they are from Japan all but 1 of their songs are sung in english since Asami studied in the states she has been able to translate the songs to English for the band. Miyako the Guitarist /Pianist does much of the song arrangements along with Miho the Bassist and founder who unfortunately ended up leaving the band for personal reasons. They are currently auditioning bassists. also there's another guy who helps them from another band with their song arrangements I believe his name is Mao. The drummer and cofounder Haruna is the smallest at 4'9 but her sound is very emmense. Midori is the shredder though Miyako may be the more melodic she can also still shred too. enough introduction here's Lovebites Edge of the World ua-cam.com/video/UZjxMjBop7w/v-deo.html

    The big glasses with thick frames were a style thing in 70s through 80s (ref Janis Joplin, Elton John). Late 60s-70s also tended toward itty-bitty eyeglass lenses (ref John Lennon) that barely covered the eyeball. Some of the things that I wore back then look pretty weird now, especially the 80s with the big shoulder pads, leg warmers, torn-looking blouses/tops, colored leggings, high top sneakers, etc.😳 OTOH most of the 60s-70s hippie-type styles still look mostly cool/normal to me nowadays. 😉

Yes, guys, it is a masterpiece, and it certainly brings back memories of the 1980s for me, it was played everywhere, it actually came out in 1982. I'm pretty sure I had the single, and I also downloaded it a while back. Thanks so much for your reaction, guys, and for reacting to this fab song. Take care now and keep safe.

    Best song Toto ever did IMO. It also gave me chills, not the first time I heard it, but EVERY time I heard it for the first year or so. I don't know what makes it such an emotional experience, but it definitely is. When I was growing up, Africa was called The Dark Continent; it was one big mystery. Over the decades we have developed so many connections to it. In fact my younger daughter was there year before last, and my older daughter is part of a group raising money to build a hospital near where her sister was. Is that a coincidence? I don't think so. Your reactions were so exactly perfect for this song.

    Hi Boys - the lead singer (David Paich) in this clip is usually the primary keyboarder, the main singer is later Steve Luckather (with guitar), the second lead singer is Bobby Kimball (the one with the brighter voice, sitting on the floor). My favorite is the gifted bass player Mike Porcaro - and what is actually true in almost every band - they say the bass player is always the most beautiful - so also here (in my opinion!)
    A fascinating band with talented musicians and extraordinary songs: Africa, Rosanna, Hold the Line, I`ll be over you and many more.

    That’s amazing, right? You know I often wonder what it is about certain songs or parts of songs that seem to appeal to so many people/ like the chorus in Africa - when I first heard this song when it came out, I would play it over and over just to hear that chorus - it gives chills as you both experienced. I haven’t got tired of it either. Someone should come up with a list of songs that this happens with. Hallelujah by Lenard Cohen is one that comes to mind- Rufus Wainwright’s version for certain - but almost any version.

    Whatever year it came out, it won the "Song of the Year" award on whatever award ceremony does music. It was quite controversial . The hard core rockers felt it was too "produced". But what they did not know, if they bothered to listen to and know that the band is essentially composed of the best studio singers alive. It is miraculous.
