I keep typing this, but it's true: we had the best music, the best cars, the best parties, and the best of times. Music was created by people using their voices and playing instruments. Now, it's all digitalized, computerized, homogenized, and trite. Thank you for having an interest and also for demonstrating what appears to be genuine appreciation for the music that we love. Now, change pace and listen to Dan Fogelberg's "Netherlands." Only the title song, "Netherlands." Talk about an emotional story...........thanks again.
I alwayed loved this song. It's one of my favourite ones from Toto. The funky groove, Bobby's vocals and the spooky, disco/boogie-like bridge. It may lack Lukather's solo but it doesn't have to be in every song. This song catches you off guard and is so positive.
Toto is a group whose extensive discography deserves to be known. It has popular and catchy songs like this one, but Toto is so much more than that. One of the best bands of all time.
Bobby Kimball's vocal range is one of the most striking characteristics of the band, no autotune arrangements like trap singers do today, one of the incredible privileged voices of ToTo, these modern music analyzers don't believe it today, young people, pre and post 80´s music.
"Don't you ever doubt Toto!" Truest words ever spoken. You guys have decades of great songs to discover. And God, Jeff Porcaro was absolutely the greatest drummer ever. Period. I hope you give the Joseph Williams years their due. It's my favorite stuff.
Toto - the backing band who had a part in Michelle Jackson's success with 'Thriller'; that and having Quincy Jones as the producer. RIP Rod Temperton, the writer of the song Thriller (Wikipedia MJ page quote - "When Rod Temperton wrote the song 'Thriller", he wanted to call it "Starlight" or "Midnight Man', but settled on 'Thriller" because he felt the name had merchandising potential.' Steve Porcaro of Toto also wrote "Human Nature" from 'Thriller'. Temperton also wrote the songs "Rock With You", Off The Wall" and "Burn This Disco Out" for MJ's 'Off The Wall' album.
I love Toto!! Love them since I was a kid. You'll like Georgy Porgy, I'll be over you, Make believe, 99, Pamela, Stop loving you, Lea..I could go on and on and on. They are amazing! Once again, awesome reaction guys!!
jeff porcaro on the drums was a tactical genuis...perfection..he pulled the strings tight..this debut album showcases their incredible range...georgy porgy manuela run and girl goodbye ..all a bit different and all great
Waiting patiently for the rest of the album ;) Georgy Porgy, Manuela Run, You are the Flower, Girl Goodbye, Taking it Back, Rockmaker, Angela. Hell, even the intro, Child's Anthem. All incredible.
Toto muy buena banda con categoría, vinieron alguna vez a mi país Chile 🇨🇱 al prestigioso festival Internacional de Viña del Mar capacidad 16.000 personas,,disfrutaron de Toto y sus multiscanciones Thanks friends, super bien sigan así.
The song is a patchwork of styles. It starts with hard rock, then Bobby kicks in with a disco beat, then back to rock, disco, rock, and finally at the end, a Latin beat, and it's all so damn danceable! A masterpiece. Another great straight rock song you guys would like is 'English Eyes' off their vastly underrated third album "Turn Back." Bobby wails on it. ua-cam.com/video/p0EldP4cDTY/v-deo.html
@@anderszettergren4302 Your right. Thanks for the exactness/correction. Mike played some cello on IV.....then took over the bass. IMHO. Kingdom of Desire is their best work.
Hey Y'all. I knew you would like this song. Must check out Goodbye Girl from this same album...Bobby goes nuts! Also you must check out Georgy Porgy. It is different and slow but absolute perfection. Check these two out, you won't be sorry!!!!
502 your missing the hidden jem off this album. Hold the line and I'll supply the love.....rocks, but their best jamming song is "Girl goodbye".....Playlist!!!!!!
Nick's face when the song started...I think I sounded familiar to him. That intro reminded me of "Heat of the Moment" and when they started singing, it sounded like "Fox on the Run".
I love Toto the amazing thing is my oldest daughter took me to my first concert on March 1 2023 just 3 weeks ago it was My favorite band Jurney and the cherry was Toto on top I will never forget it here in DC
My favorite Toto album and arguably one of the greatest debuts... next up off this has to be Georgy Porgy... but if you wanna real treat go deep for my all-time favorite Toto song " You are the flower"
Once again you guys have me grinning like a fool!! Please make bobble head merch of yourselves!!!! I just want the three of you bouncing your heads up and down on my dashboard!!! hahahaha That's a compliment, I promise!
Yes, don’t EVER doubt Toto! My favorite band period! Did you guys know that they have a cover album as well? Through The Looking Glass. Just phenomenal! Listen to Living for the City (Stevie Wonder cover). Bobby goes crazy on that, wow! I love the Cream cover too Sunshine of Your Love. Steve Lukather sings and plays outstanding on that song! Plus he does a great job on Watching the Detectives too. Check these out for sure!
Guys! If you are curious to discover more Toto songs, please check out the following ones, in various genres, to showcase their musicianship and to see how versatile they are: - rock/prog: Hydra, Dying on my Feet, Stop Loving You, Goin’ Home, Home of the Brave - funk/rnb/soul: Georgy Porgy, Waiting for your Love, Till the End, Let it Go - Instrumental (rock, funk, jazz, fusion, all of it): Child’s Anthem, Jake to the Bone (my favorite), Don’t Stop Me Now (feat. Miles Davis!!!), Dave’s Gone Skiing - ballads: I’ll Be Over You, I Won’t Hold You Back, Lea, I Will Remember -
Hey fellas, time to break out the dinner jackets and dancing shoes🕺👞👠 and enjoy a great song of sultry smooth jazzy blues music with none other than "Carly Simone - I've Got You Under My Skin (Live On The Queen Mary 2)" Carly is an amazingly talented artist. She is a wonderful singer/songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, as well as a very successful writer of children's novels. 🎶
Wife here.. YOU GUYS DO THE BEST REACTIONS..!!...A shout out to Boz Skaggs... "LOWDOWN"...Absolutely Awesome!!!...Hey..,It's so cool to see you guys reacting to Toto...It totally takes me back to childhood..., (And with this deeper cut) notice😮d he was hitting the high notes as well..
Not sure what I like more watchin' this reaction: the shoulder action or the smiles! Keep up the good work guys! And, did I see a Foreigner ("Urgent") reaction and now cannot find? So many will be blocked. Worth the creative ways to still get most of the album 4 up. Another album where every tune is Fire!
I too had never heard this song and my brother had that album. I might have bought it for him for Christmas many years ago. Thanks for sharing; Bobby as a vocalist is legend! The whole band were incredibly talented.
You should check out their albums 'Kingdom of Desire' and 'Falling in Between', and Steve Lukather's 'Candyman' and 'Bridges' records (both are secret Toto albums featuring band members) Those are more heavy rock oriented.
Yes! This band has great musicians in it! Try 99 next. Of course there are a lot of songs to choose from, but I really love the chords and that piano pattern bridging the chorus and verses, etc.
Anyone else hear Abba’s Voulez -Vous in that first bridge? Eerily similar. That Shaharazhad sound. Wonder if you guys would like that song too. Both are great.
As you said it is incredible that this song wasn't a big hit in rankings, but it was the 80's and the competition was hard. Here in Latam Toto is very well known, loved and respected. I think all of my firends have at least a greatest hits CD. They are the 80's. Regards from Chile 🙂
Great to see that you guys are digging Toto!! Here's a great deep cut to add to your explorations..."White Sister", off of their second album "Hydra". It's a "Monster" track! 😉
Their first album and Toto IV are their best work.p.s- if you can find it, check out their covers album Through the Looking Glass. Great stuff on that one!
These guys were like the second generation of the wrecking crew. The best studio musicians of their time. Nothing but excellence!
100%!! Killer musicians! Lukather is legendary in the guitar world!! R.I.P. to the GREAT Jeff Porcaro🤘🤘
99 is their best song, yet it is very overlooked.
Gentlemen, every single song on this, their debut album, is fire! You need to listen to more of this album!!
Yes PLEASE!
Those SUPER 70S BANDS KICKED MAJOR ASS! FOR MANY YEARS!
Bobby KIMBALL,S VOICE WAS A FORCE OF NATURE!
@@weksheddweller they were just youngsters at tha time! Ecept BOBBY!
100 percent!

He's so jazzy❤
Jeff Porcaro....greatest drummer of all time in my opinion ❤
Never forget Toto were behind The Dune soundtrack

Bobby Kimball’s voice is amazing! ❤
You'll be surprised by "Waiting For Your Love", awesome vocals and Groove. And "Georgy Porgy" which has Boz Skaggz vibes 🎶 🎵
Probably their hardest rocking song is " girl goodbye" from this same album
You guys look like boys from the late 70s, as I was, with those happy smiles. Thanks!
Toto la mejor banda del mundo !!, te amo toto !!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
love the run-out on this tune, especially when the drum rhythm switches out...
You supply the reaction and I'll supply the comments. Keep them coming!
Love Toto! Thanks for the reaction.
OMG I totally forgot about this song! I love Toto! Was introduced to them in 1979 by my roommates.
Yes, Bobby is one of my all-time favorites!
jeff porcaro on the drums was a tactical genuis...perfection..he pulled the strings tight..this debut album showcases their incredible range...georgy porgy manuela run and girl goodbye ..all a bit different and all great
Especially “Manuela Run”.
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo
I agree that you guys would all enjoy Georgy Porgy - great groove!
WOW! What a great song, I didn't know until now how great! Loved the reaction too!
OMG… How on Earth have I not heard that song? !!! ToTo is just the BEST.
This was the follow up single to Hold The Line from the debut album. I remember buying this single (45) in ‘79.
Love this song
Waiting patiently for the rest of the album ;) Georgy Porgy, Manuela Run, You are the Flower, Girl Goodbye, Taking it Back, Rockmaker, Angela. Hell, even the intro, Child's Anthem. All incredible.
Toto's 99 and Georgy-Porgy. Steely Dan called and said the title track from "Royal Scam" is ready for you lads. Brace yourselves.
Toto muy buena banda con categoría, vinieron alguna vez a mi país Chile 🇨🇱 al prestigioso festival Internacional de Viña del Mar capacidad 16.000 personas,,disfrutaron de Toto y sus multiscanciones

Believe it or not this is the first album I ever paid for with my own money, along with the first Boston album😅.
Toto is so underrated.

Drums and Bass....so important. Two brothers there. Jeff and Mike Porcaro. Both legends.
Its David Hungate on album 1-4.
@@anderszettergren4302 Your right. Thanks for the exactness/correction. Mike played some cello on IV.....then took over the bass. IMHO. Kingdom of Desire is their best work.
this song has a mix of hard rock and some disco sounds.
this song is usually played with the instrumental Child's Anthem
My favorite @Toto song. The contrapuntal percussion vs keyboard makes me smile, e v e r y time! 😄
Hey Y'all. I knew you would like this song. Must check out Goodbye Girl from this same album...Bobby goes nuts! Also you must check out Georgy Porgy. It is different and slow but absolute perfection. Check these two out, you won't be sorry!!!!
This WAS popular. I definitely remember it.
Love Toto. I never get tired of Africa
Georgy Porgy!!!

This had BIG Radio Play when it came out! Also, "Georgy Porgy & Hold the Line"! The Entire Album is Fire!
Hoping we get to see more April Wine. They have so many more God Tier songs you haven’t checked out yet.
Nick's face when the song started...I think I sounded familiar to him.

Haven't heard this in years. Nice!

Get a Listen on "Girl Goodbye", especially when you want more Bobby!
Not sure what I like more watchin' this reaction: the shoulder action or the smiles! Keep up the good work guys! And, did I see a Foreigner ("Urgent") reaction and now cannot find? So many will be blocked. Worth the creative ways to still get most of the album 4 up. Another album where every tune is Fire!
You guys need to hear Waiting for your love from Toto IV. Quintessential Bobby. The track is funky as hell
99 and Georgy Porgy for the win !
They also do “afraid of love” one that you’ll add to your playlist for sure.
I too had never heard this song and my brother had that album. I might have bought it for him for Christmas many years ago. Thanks for sharing; Bobby as a vocalist is legend! The whole band were incredibly talented.
As always excellent reaction!
New to me too. Love it ❤
Toto's 1st album is arguably their best. With their 4th album, Toto IV being 2nd.
You should check out their albums 'Kingdom of Desire' and 'Falling in Between', and Steve Lukather's 'Candyman' and 'Bridges' records (both are secret Toto albums featuring band members) Those are more heavy rock oriented.
Hydra, st George, and the dragon, childs anthem, all us boys and dont stop me now are some more of there greats
Thanks for the great reaction! Love Toto ❤
Thanks for such a fun reaction! Love Toto!
If you liked this one, you'd also love Girl Goodbye. Same album.
Yes!
Yes! This band has great musicians in it! Try 99 next. Of course there are a lot of songs to choose from, but I really love the chords and that piano pattern bridging the chorus and verses, etc.
You guys are so close to figuring it out. Nothing compares to 70s music!!!!!!!
You should check out the funkiest song by toto: Waiting for your love
Manuela Run is another fire song hidden on this debut.
Awesome song that I had forgotten about until Adam Sandler used it to promote on of his movies. It's easily my favorite from Toto!
Thank u a hidden TOTO GEM
Anyone else hear Abba’s Voulez -Vous in that first bridge? Eerily similar. That Shaharazhad sound. Wonder if you guys would like that song too. Both are great.

Great to see that you guys are digging Toto!! Here's a great deep cut to add to your explorations..."White Sister", off of their second album "Hydra". It's a "Monster" track! 😉
This is a Fantastic song one of the first songs I ever heard from Toto … You want a Killer Song .. React to “White Sister” from the hydra album ..
This song is a bop! The part with the piano was the “chase”.
Their first album and Toto IV are their best work.p.s- if you can find it, check out their covers album Through the Looking Glass. Great stuff on that one!
Ohhh best bar none!
There is a song that leads into this song called " Childs Anthem" that I also requested when I requested this song.
Been waiting for part 2 of the double shot of Foreigner. Worried something happened to you guys.😳🥰😘
Please refer to our latest community post👍🏼
@Views From The 502 Yep I should have thought of that! Thanks so much for responding and I appreciate how hard you guys work!!
Fortissimi i toto!!
Steve Lukather, guitar virtuoso: go research how many songs this cat was a part of or flat out created. Tubes-“Talk to ya Later”
You will love Georgy Porgy. If you can, you should react the live version of Georgy Porgy from 1990 in Paris it's amazing. Great reaction guys 🎉
Speaking of “The Zoo”, if you haven’t already done so, check out “The Zoo” by The Scorpions.
Steve Lukather on guitar. Absolute virtuoso. The whole band was great A level musicians
