      Great song, great cover. I was at a party. I asked a man what kind if work he did. He replied, “I a music producer. I produced a group. You might know their name “Toto.” I said, “Totos as in Africa and Roseanna??” Yep, that was the group. I think Africa may have been the first world beat meds hit.

    That last note on the last word "...had" is so freaking perfect. The harmony is absolutely wonderful. That one note is a masterpiece by itself. They caught the subtlety of that last set of harmonies how they don't shift exactly the same note up and down together. There's some kind of subtle offset in the last note I've always thought was beautiful and they got it perfectly. It's the details! Great artists pay attention to the details.
