Ok, to start off with, awesome reaction, dude and ... just wanted you to know that Rosanna refers to Rosanna Arquette, the woman Steve Porcaro had been dating. They picked this girl specifically, BECAUSE she resembled her. What's weird about it is, Steve did NOT write the song ... keyboardist David Paich did ... yep, the one who started off the song in the video for Hold The Line that you recently reacted to. Please find and read my other post in the comments section on Jeff Porcaro and this band. I put those comments there (instead of here) because I felt others may not read this comment unless they open these replies to see it. In it, however, I have a section that details a slew of bands he either played with, or for, and I think you'd really like knowing that stuff too. However, I also wanted to point out, there were THREE (3) Porcaro brothers in this group, off and on ... 1) Jeff Porcaro, of course (drummer), Mike Porcaro (the bassist) and Steve Porcaro, the other keyboardist (besides David Paich). BTW, I was just watching a reaction to Seals and Crofts' live video for their song, Diamond Girl, and NOTICED Jeff Porcaro on drums and, all of a sudden, the drum pattern for THIS SONG hit me like a ton of bricks, and I immediately thought of Ricki Lee Jones' song, Chuck E's In Love and the shuffle pattern he did there. So, I looked it up and, OMG ... sure enough, he also a very similar, but remnant snippet of this shuffle at one point (right where they do an obvious break before the final verse/end). So, what got me is I had an epiphany all in a single moment, and my answer within a minute. I love when that happens.
I can vividly recall where I was when I first heard this song. I was age 13, working in a bicycle shop and living the dream. This was my anthem that year.
This band was made up of top flite studio musicians, based in Los Angeles. Staying busy in the studio meant they didn't tour much. Shout out to Jerry Hey in the horn section, playing trumpet.
Legendary session bass player Leland Sklar (Jackon Browne, Phil Collins and a hundred other artists) joined with Toto after Mike Porcaro was diagnosed with ALS.
About 5 years ago I was watching this video & 1 comment I came across was "the hot girl in the red dress is somebody's great grandma now😂 Actually a true but funny statement.
The drummer is the heart of the band. Bass follows drummer, everything else follows that. You have a bad drummer, you have a bad band.Bad bass player, bad band. But shout out to drummers!!!
I'm with as a drummer. This shuffle is out of this world. So hard to follow what his snare hand is doing with all the fills as he rides the hi hat with the steady shuffle beat. The whole band are top of the top incredible musicians and I'm so glad all these once just studio musicians decided to form a band and give is all this great music. A true legendary musically story.
This is an awesome band. I have seen them live 7 times. My favorite band since 1983. More Toto please😊. *Gypsy Train *Home of the brave *I'll supply the love *Lion *I'll be over you *Stranger in town And the list goes on and on and on...I ❤ it.
For those who don't understand just how important, sought out and influential Jeff Porcaro was, here's just a small bit of information pertaining to the groups he played with (as a member) or for (as a session/studio musician): "Besides his work with Toto, he was also a highly sought session musician. Porcaro collaborated with many of the biggest names in music, including George Benson, Nik Kershaw, Tommy Bolin, Larry Carlton, Eric Carmen, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Christopher Cross, Andrew Gold, Miles Davis, Dire Straits, Donald Fagen, Stan Getz, David Gilmour, James Newton Howard, Al Jarreau, Elton John, Leo Sayer, Greg Lake, Rickie Lee Jones, Paul McCartney, Michael McDonald, the Bee Gees, Lynn Anderson, Sérgio Mendes, Jim Messina, Pink Floyd, Lee Ritenour, Diana Ross, Boz Scaggs, Hoyt Axton, Seals and Crofts, Bruce Springsteen, Steely Dan, Barbra Streisand, Richard Marx, Warren Zevon, Don Henley, David Foster, Donna Summer, Frankie Valli and Joe Walsh. Porcaro contributed drums to four tracks on Michael Jackson's Thriller and also played on the Dangerous album hit "Heal the World". He also played on 10cc's ...Meanwhile (1992). Porcaro featured on Al Stewart's 1980 album 24 Carrots. On the 1993 10cc Alive album, recorded after his death, the band dedicated "The Stars Didn't Show" to him." Most people don't realize that the members of Toto were ALL studio musicians at some point in their careers, and some still do studio/session work to this day. Toto was to the 70's-90s (and beyond) what The Wrecking Crew were to the 50's and 60's, playing on just about anything and everything that became a hit. Now, there were actually THREE (3) Porcaro brothers in this group, off and on ... 1) Jeff Porcaro, of course (drummer), Mike Porcaro (the bassist) and Steve Porcaro, the other keyboardist (besides the constant/regular one, David Paich).
@@karaokekraziness3891 Luke has refuted that on numerous occasions. To begin with, why would Paich write a song like that about Porcaro's girlfriend? The truth, as mentioned often by Paich and Luke is that her name happened to fit so well with the tune.
The members of Toto were the core group for Boz Scaggs, Seals and Crofts, Sonny and Cher, and Steely Dan after the session work became Toto. David Paich (keyboards, vocals) and Jeff Porcaro (drums) David Hungate (bass), Steve Lukather (guitar, vocals) Steve Porcaro (keyboards, vocals), and Bobby Kimball (vocals)
The song refers to Rosanna Arquet. Lead singer(s) Steve Lukather and Bobby Kimbal. Killer bass by David Hungate. Keyboards David Paich. Synths Steve Porcaro. Jeff was a studio drummer while he was still in high school. Look up the credits for Michael Jackson's "Thriller." This band set a standard of excellence that's hard to match. Great reaction as usual. 🤘😎❤
David Hungate (not the bassist in the video) was the bassist for the first 4 albums, but quit after recording the final track of Toto 4. That's when Mike Porcaro joined the band, making 3 Porcaro's in the band, and it's he who appears in this and the Africa videos.
I think you can still find a video here on YT of Jeff Porcaro talking about the Rosanna half time shuffle from this song and how he came up with it. As others have pointed out, he took the classic Purdie half time shuffle and added some Bonham and some Bo Didley beat. The dude was a top tier drummer who passed way too soon.
I have never heard that extended version either. I had this on an album, along with Africa, but I didn't hear that ending. That was just flipping awesome!
A banger of all bangers! Bobby Kimballs’ vocals are insane! The girl in the video married Richard Marx(they have kids but are now divorced) Mike Pacaro is on bass… Jeff’s brother
A couple of cool things about the video is that the female dancer in red is Cynthia Rhodes from the movie Dirty Dancing. Also, Patrick Swayze is one of the male background dancers. He also wrote and recorded the song She's Like the Wind from Dirty Dancing. I love your reactions. You are definitely one of my favs.❤
@@kens32052 yes she was :), she was also in Staying Alive (Saturday Night Fever's sequel). She was also married to singer/musician and 80's/90's music legend Richard Marx for 25 years. They divorced in 2013/14.
I wish I had any kind of musical aptitude. I'd love to be able to hear this song the way you hear it. I know it's an awesome song, but I could never articulate why I think it's an awesome song.
Band members on Rosanna Jeff Porcaro - drums David Paich - piano Steve Lukather - guitar/lead vocals Bobby Kimball - Lead tenor vocals Steve Porcaro - Synthesizer Mike Porcaro - bass Lenny Castro - percussion Bass parts were originally laid out by former bass player of Toto, David Hungate. Hungate left the band just after recording Toto IV and was replaced by Mike Porcaro.
This band is made up the best and most in-demand session musicians of the 70's. All of them were Boz Scagg's band for his biggest some of his best albums, "Silk Degrees", "Down Two, Then Left", and "Middle Man".
I remember playing this song years ago with a group of friends. With just the 4 of us...me on bass, we couldn't really do it justice. But I did love the bass part.
At 10:00 Paich sits down at the piano, "I've got a new song guys" and demos "Rosanna" to the band members. At 10:03 Jeff Porcaro says "that thing doesn't groove" and immediately starts improvising a shuffle from Purdie and Bonham but adds Bo Diddley. At 10:05 Lukather, guitar, starts improvising around. Kl. 10:07 Hungate, bas, writing dows some notes for the band. At 10:08 Who will sing? Lukather begins to sing. Paich: "but I want a high tenor" looking at Bobby Kimball. He continues "we raise the key here". At 10:10 First take. At 10:15. The band thinks it was ok but changes some things. At 10:25 Second take. At the intended end, Jeff Porcaro waves his arms and signals "go ahead." And the band continues…. That's roughly how it happened if Lukather and Beato are to be believed.
joe williams lead singer - steve lukather guitar - jeff porcaro drums - david paich keyboard - bobby kimball keyboard - mike porcaro bass - simon phillips drum kit - steve porcaro syntheizer - fergie frederiksen vocals plus many more over time
okay, I had to look up ghost notes and now I think I got it! Appreciate you pointing out the technical stuff. I've always only just listened to things "on the top" if that makes sense.
Someone may have already posted this, but a little known fact about this song, (and like "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot) is that the track we are listening to is THE VERY FIRST STUDIO TAKE. Yes, it is literally their initial run through of the song brought to them on sheet music by David Paich. Fact is, "Toto" was a made up band of professional muscians who had played on Michael Jackson's, and Steely Dan album tracks. Amazing.
If you want to show Canada a little love, Under My Thumb (studio ver.) by Streetheart. So good the Stones had to invent time travel to go back to 66 and say they did it first. Best bass run/riff, background bass solo, I'm not sure what to call it, ever imo.
Not one of their more popular tunes, but with you being a drummer I think you would really appreciate their song Can You Hear What I'm Sayin. Great bass and drums in that song. Has a good groove to it as well.
The more I hear drummers like this, Anika Nilles, Phil Collins and Chester Thompson, the more I realize that I must be satisfied with being just a basic drummer. I have a good sense of rhythm, but have no formal training with playing drums. So......I make a fairly decent church drummer, but certainly not on a professional level. It's just fun for me and a good feeling when I'm in the groove.
I think that you should check out the album from Blue Oyster Cult call Some Enchanted Evening it's a live album and it has a lot of cool Tunes I think you would be really interested in
Here's a nice cover by HSCC of Rosanna: ua-cam.com/video/QqFUOXxCZm4/v-deo.html Also, the group Italian Artists do a hell of a cover of Africa that is well worth a listen.
The hits are great but for me Toto was at their peak when they went full-on progressive & jazz/fusion. Like in the song "Jake to the Bone". I wish they had done more of that.
@setonhillstudios heck yeah you have to. Stop loving you is also a banger but africa is totally fire! In my oppinion toto is probably top 5 best bands in the world, probably top 3 😊
Check out Some Enchanted Evening by Blue Oyster Cult I think you will like it this is the album that made Godzilla famous plus a lot of the other teams that are really good

Let’s Gooo! Thanks for the memory!
I watched one of their live concerts and found a new appreciation for their talent. They are great.
The great Jeff Porcaro. I to have been flailing away at this song for years and years to try and get as close to how he did it
Jeff was so damn good
This song will always be special to me. I was in college & dating a girl named Rosanna. We didn't work out but this song reminds me of great times
This band was made up of top flite studio musicians, based in Los Angeles. Staying busy in the studio meant they didn't tour much. Shout out to Jerry Hey in the horn section, playing trumpet.
Mr. Patrick Swayze, R.I.P. is in this video as well.
This is one well arranged song. You've gotta be right on the money when playing this one. Toto is top shelf rock and roll ❤❤❤❤❤❤
So talented! 🔥
@@setonhillstudios totally agree 👍
I saw Toto at the Paramount Theater in Seattle. They were just starting out, and we loved them!
I saw them in 1985 in Tyler, Texas. My sister was hugely pregnant, so that was my niece's first concert.
'I don't think he's heard "Rosanna". That's bad parenting.' 🤣
🤣😂 I have heard it! Banger! 🔥🔥
David Hungate original Bass player, played this, Mike Porcaro (Bass) joined later and is in this clip
Legendary session bass player Leland Sklar (Jackon Browne, Phil Collins and a hundred other artists) joined with Toto after Mike Porcaro was diagnosed with ALS.
The dancer in the video is Cynthia Rhodes, who played Penny in Dirty Dancing.

No, it's not. It uses her name but it is not about her.

The vamp out was spontaneous, the engineer kept the tape running and it was added to the song
Toto is the band playing much of the music on MJ's Thriller album.
Less than half the songs (4) actually.
I love covering this song as a keyboard player. Its so much fun to perform and sing harmonies on.

In an interview Steve Lukather said that ending was an improvised jam that turned out so well they kept it.
Ten years ago I was able to play it. No practicing every day has its bad consequences😢 Another masterpiece with Jeff on drums is Gaucho by Steely Dan.
The drum Doctor....Jeff Porcaro. He/they nailed this on the first take and the end part was an ad-lib.
Yeah, the funky piano at the end was very cool. Totally forgot about that part.
Love me some Rosanna

Toto. Amazing band ! What to check out ? Steven, you have to do a video of their best song ever : Africa
I would recommend "Straight For the Heart".

This is the club mix version. Radio wanted songs kept short. But, in the 80s, there were extended versions produced for club DJs.
as a drummer, you might like cozy powell - especially dance with the devil
So good…it gives me chills!
Check out "Make Believe" (a personal favorite ). It has a similar vibe to "Hold The Line," with great vocals by Bobby Kimball.
If you want to show Canada a little love, Under My Thumb (studio ver.) by Streetheart. So good the Stones had to invent time travel to go back to 66 and say they did it first. Best bass run/riff, background bass solo, I'm not sure what to call it, ever imo.
Yes nice one ❤
Cynthia Rhodes is the blond dances in this video and Patrick Swayze back ground dance in the video both stared in dirty dancing
The girl is Cynthia Rhodes from Dirty Dancing.
Have you reacted to their song Africa . Great songs so far by this band.
I haven’t but definitely need to! 😁
Not one of their more popular tunes, but with you being a drummer I think you would really appreciate their song Can You Hear What I'm Sayin. Great bass and drums in that song. Has a good groove to it as well.
Give this one a listen......Merle Haggard - I Think I'll Just Stay Here And Drink
Bobby Kimball and lead guitarist Steve Lukather are the singers on this song
I believe it's called The Purdy Shuffle
It's based on his shuffle but with a Bonham kick.
Let’s not forget to give a call out Steve Lukather and his silky, smooth solos. And don’t get me started on Bobby Kimbal’s vocals!
Are you familiar with the band Boston? The debut album they put out in 1976 titled Boston,every single song on the album were huge hits! 🎸

Another great reaction to a great song. Love this song. "Africa" by Toto is also a great song you should check out SteVen. 🎼♥️👌
The hits are great but for me Toto was at their peak when they went full-on progressive & jazz/fusion. Like in the song "Jake to the Bone". I wish they had done more of that.
3 Porcora brothers in this band....2 have passed....The keyboardist is still alive...Bass and drums gone...
I think I read EVH was fond of Toto.
Lukather always has impeccable tone, imho.
Listen to the B52s Love Shack.
Mike Porcaro is the bassist, Steve Porcaro is the keyboardist, and Jeff Porcaro is the drummer. Mike and Jeff are gone.
Have you done Africa with toto?
@@henkebenke573 Not yet! I need to though! 😁
