#TOTO #Rosanna
We are aware that it is Steve Lukather singing. We can see it on the screen! Ryan just got the names mixed up for a second lol. Carry on!
I don’t know if you guys are aware but Bobby Kimball is suffering from dementia. 😢 He’s from my hometown in Louisiana and everyone down there would go crazy when ToTo would be played. I was a small child when ToTo hit it big but all the adults would talk about it. Lol. Oh, also, there’s an autobiography being written about Bobby Kimball called Kite on a String, or something like that. His friend is trying to get as much information from him before he gets too bad with the dementia. It’s so sad… it’s a terrible disease! I’ve lost several family members to it and it’s awful… Anyway… Have you guy ever heard of a band called Louisiana LeRoux? y’all need to check out their most popular song New Orleans Ladies… it’s a slower song but a great one. I’d say a one hit wonder kind of song because I don’t remember any other songs by them.
Its Bobby Kimball taking all the soulful high notes on this iconic tune.
The SUPER 70S WILL NEVER END!!...THANK GOD!
@@masheltonjoejust cant beat those 70s guys!
We're all relaxed, here. This is one of those pieces that just never gets old. We used to sing it out loud together whenever it would come on the radio.
The outro was the result of them keeping the tape rolling at the end of the song and the band just jamming out. Steve Lukather's guitar solo in that outro is one of my favorites. The guy is insanely good, a really nice guy and funny as hell.
have you seen Rick Beatos interview with Luke? Is Amazing!
@@alansmith7626 Yeah, I think about that interview every time I hear one of his/Toto's songs now. Rick Beato is an amazing interviewer. The interviews he's doing with the legends of music is like a history channel of music. His interview with Sting, Bernard Purdie, Brian May, Larry Carlton, Peter Frampton, Pat Metheny... this list goes on. So glad that history is being preserved.
Well, "Luke" can sometimes be full of himself but he's still very sympathetic at the same time. Had problems with his wife and partying but he's carried on. One of the best guitar players back in the day with rocking and jazzy licks. Just iconic. The drums/groove, the vocals, Dave's piano, Steve's guitar and so many different elements.
Steve didn't know David would take off with that stride piano at the end of the take. Steve just improvised over it. After the take, Steve and David asked the control room "did you get all that?" Producer said "every note". By the way, this was take TWO. Easy as pie when you have all the talent in the world.
"Africa", "Hold The Line" and "Rosanna" were their biggest hits, Toto was monsterous.
...IS monstrous. ;) They're *still* putting out amazing music!
Pamela and Stop loving you where probably bigger but that album didn t get any promo in the us
At the Grammy awards the following year, Toto 4 won album of the year and Rosanna won record of the year
One of the hardest songs to play on drums EVER! Amazing
and piano, bass, guitar and vocals!
The immortal Jeff Porcaro drummer is laying it down on this banger!!
One of the most famous beats ever. The Rosanna shuffle.
No matter how many times I hear it, this song never gets old. Every part is just immaculate.
Not only were most of these guys on Boz Scaggs “Silk Degrees” same ones played on Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”. Even after winning Grammy’s doing their own music they still played on other superstars albums. 🤯
And the Movie Dune
Best outro solo ever, period. Steve Lukather is one of the best ever to pick up a guitar.
One of Toto's best concerts is The Falling Inbetween tour in France in 2007.
Don't sleep on that bass line. The rhythm section is just incredible and the outro Luke is just going nuts!!!
yes that is keeping the whole thing together otherwise it would fall apart because the drummer is playing drums like theyre a lead instrument
Nope. There are no words that adequately describe this one. Every note is perfection.
Music for musicians just magical.
There are four bands that experimented with music, Toto, Supertramp, Pink Floyd and Alan Parsons Project. They were real musicians making authentic tunes, hope you enjoy them as much as I did back then.
A little bit of trivia...the video for the song has a "West Side Story" theme. The dancer in the red dress was Penny in "Dirty Dancing". Patrick Swayze also was one of the un-credited dancers in the video.
Steve Lukather is Legendary! He's definitely got skills with the guitar. MAN, I miss music like this!! Toto in this time (early 80's) was Fire!!!!!
Greg Philliganes played the piano solo in the middle of the song. He also did a lot of synthetic sounds for Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones solo stuff
Guys please ! , do next from them, these other's super songs : "Goodbye girl", "Angel don't cry", "St' George & the dragon", "Georgy porgy", "All us boys", "Goodbye Eleonore" , "99" , & "Turn back" .
Another great song by Toto is 99. Check it out. I love Toto, since they came out. Yeah, I’m old. 😊
It wasn't a hit, but "English Eyes" is a great Toto song with a phenomenal Bobby Kimball vocal.
Arguably the most talented band ever
These musicians especially Jeff Porcaro played on thousands of tracks literally
When this song came out I was working in a mall in San Antonio Texas and across the mall was a sound store. And they would play this song over and over and I loved every time they played it. And they would crank it too. Great memories.
Rosanna stared in the movie, “Desperately Seeking Susan” also with Madonna.
Boys, Toto is currently touring all over the Midwest so you should check them out! Saw them and they are still amazing 40 years later
While you are on Toto, check out "Georgy Porgy". Great song, and very different, featuring a female vocalist, Cheryl Lynn, that is incredible.
This is one of the Perfect songs. There aren't that many.
Sky of the Moment.....................that's probably the BEST phrase, ever
That great Porcaro 1/2 time shuffle. Steve's keyboards in the middle and Lukather with that out solo. Then if you watch the video, you get Cynthia Rhodes. Unbelievable song.
The best Bobby vocals : You are the flower, Mama ,A Million Miles Away,High Price Of Hate
The famous Jeff Porcaro "Rosanna shuffle" beat. The amazing drummer perfectly gels with the rest of the band on this song. If you want some of the newer side of Toto, take a listen to anything on either the "Mindfields" or "Falling in Between" albums. Rock music at its finest. Love that you're getting into Toto.
It's actually "The Purdie Shuffle" by Bernard Purdie. John Bonham uses it in "Fool In The Rain", which inspired Porcaro who then discovered its origin.
@@legman1476 _ It was derived from the "Purdie Shuffle" - but it is not the same.
Yes it's definitely the Bernard "Pretty" Purdie shuffle. 83 years old. An amazing influential drummer who has played on countless recordings and with numerous artists. Check him out.
@@fredbaaske182 Why do people keep saying it is the Purdie Shuffle when it definitely is not?
It is based on that shuffle - but far more complex.
@@legman1476 Bonham put his mark on the shuffle, and then Porcaro added on top of it. There is a video of Porcaro describing his interpretation.
1982-1985...INSANE hits everywhere, Madonna Def Leppard, Prince, Michael, Huey, Bryan Adams, Genesis/Phil Collins solo, Ozzy, Duran Duran, Van Halen, tons of random new wave bands like Human League/Don't You Want Me, tons of metal bands doing a lot of their best like Maiden, Priest, Motley, Ratt, Dio, lots of 70's people still doing great shit like Lionel Ritchie/Bowie/Hall and Oates/Elton/Stones/Floyd...and there's even more, country was at a peak with Dolly and Kenny and lots of others, rap was starting to get big, and then there's John Cougar Melloncamp, Bruce, Adam Ant, Billy Idol, Foreigner, The Police, early U2...it's just fucking endless. Check the top 40s, and top 100 lists during that time frame, it's nuts.
Killer song, band and musicianship! "Rosanna" peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard magazine Hot 100 pop singles chart, held back from the No. 1 spot by the new wave synth-pop hit "Don't You Want Me" by the Human League and then by the massive "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor from the "Rocky III" movie soundtrack. You might also like Toto's hits "I'll Be Over You" and "Make Believe" and "I Won't Hold You Back" and "Good for You."
my favorite song of all time... this is a percect song .... recorded. I have heard this over 1000 times and I still try to find a sound I have not heard or can sing! tru story!
Toto have some mindblowing stuff outside of the hits everyone know. Better World from Mindfields, the title track from Falling In Between, songs like Mama from their Hydra album....the list goes on and on. They're one of the best groups ever.
Totally agree with “Falling in Between”. “Caught in the Balance” on Mindfields is my personal fave.
I don't know these ones. I'mma go add them to my playlist now
I hated Toto until I saw them open for Yes several years ago. They blew me away. ☮️❤️
I saw that tour as well up in Washington State with my daughter. They were so good, and it was fun to see obvious Yes fans getting a real dose of Toto. After their set you could feel the buzz from the crowd. Which is what I was hearing about Journey fans when Toto opened for them.
Funny thing was after Toto's set my daughter wanted to leave. She wasn't really interested in seeing Yes.
This is just a great frickin song. No doubt about it. The official video is awesome too. The lovely Cynthia Rhodes with some great choreography throughout.
I feel so blessed to have lived through the best era of music ever. This was on the playlist ALWAYS! The are currently on tour. Really not happy that I am not near a venue. Don't miss them, if it's near you.
i concur
Me too Dan
They throw everything but the kitchen sink into this song. And IT WORKS beautifully.
Did you know Toto were inspired by Emerson Lake and Palmer to start a band ax they were huge fans, seen live as kids re the big keyboard thing? TRUE
70s kid here. I'm announcing that because. What I'm about to say. Has been uttered in some form, by past generations. For the first time. I think there is a rather large grain of truth / case to be made. That our retirement communities will not only be rockin. But. We will have a much more eclectic, better overall quality of music. To choose from. In any genre.
Toto man... they're good, they're voices are smooth. But Africa is probably my favorite all time rock / pop song. If you get lost in the song and it makes you feel something then that is a great music ✌️
A song so good it's..Sky of the moment. I agree! lol
Patrick Swayze was a dancer in this song and the girl dancing in this is Penny from the movie dirty dancing.
Africa was a HUGE song. In that year’s Grammy Awards Toto opened the show with a live version of it. Toto couldn’t physically be at the show so it was fixed for them to perform from wherever they were on tour. It was that huge. I’m sure it won at least one Grammy also. I could be wrong on that but I don’t think so.
Try Asia! Great great band formed when Toto broke up.
Check out Toto's song Hydra (prog rock/cinematic rock) from their second album Hydra. Perfect to listen to with headphones. There's a lot going on musically and listen carefully to the beginning...maybe even turn up the volume for the first 33 seconds. It sets the tone for the song with very cinematic synths and sound effects of water dripping and a dragon's breath.
I know that may sound nerdy, but it is a great song. Written by the entire band and features a bit of everything you love about Toto.
I remember as a kid watching the video on Friday Night videos brings back memories!!!!
Actually, Steve Lukather is the one singing and playing guitar in the beginning. Not Steve Porcaro. Steve porcaro played synthesizer, and did some backing vocals. But Steve Lukather did the lead vocals.
Love drummer Jeff Pocaro’s shuffle throughout this song: combo of John Bonham on Fool in the Rain and Bernard Purtie’s shuffle!
The ghost notes he throws in are just immaculately placed and balanced in the mix, truly a treat for the attentive ear
Thank you guys. Glad you found Toto. Bobby, Jeff and...Luke.
I swear, no matter how hard you try, there's no way to keep your head still while listening to this xd
Top 10 drum into, and fills. Awesome song.
It's great to see you younger fellas discovering the greatness of Toto! One of my very favorite bands - been listening since the 70s because their music is timeless.
This song stayed at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 6 weeks. It was blocked from being #1 by The Human League - “Don’t You Want Me” then blocked again by Survivor - “Eye Of the Tiger”.
Please don't tell me that y'all don't know Rosanna Arquette with Madonna in "Desperately Seeking Susan" 1985. The entirety of the Arquette family are in the Entertainment Industry. David is one of the brothers, well known, whom was married to "Friends" alum Courteney Cox Then there is also the other living sister, Patricia, a very noteworthy television actress and Academy Award winner.
I just remember when this song came out and hit the radio waves it was a nonstop talk all about the song that Toto wrote for that famous girl~ Rosanna! If I recall correctly, somewhere down along the line I'm not sure if it came directly from Rosanna or from one of the guys in the band, but someone said that she did inspire them with the name title, however not the lyrics. I believe she broke up with the band member shortly after the release.
I dig your reaction guys~ oh those faces! 👍 😊
I love seeing you youngsters appreciating some of the best music of our time...............take a listen to YES "Starship Trooper" and .........wait for it.....
I dare anyone to name a song that has a guitar/piano tag-team duet as good as this. Let alone the horns and drums.
Africa and Hold The Line were more popular than this way before social media came along. It’s because of CBS Columbia Records executives not promoting this song properly.
Guys, an important note: Steve Lukather sings the verses flowing around G major, but then all the transition hooks up high to F major are sung by Bobby Kimball, who truly made the vocals so memorable, in my opinion. That being said, Toto is a band's band. No one was better in that era musically than these guys.
My rock friend went to see Journey the other day. Toto opening. I said I wanted a true review of Toto, since I love them and thinks they are schmaltzy! He came back with, “They were amazing! I never thought to go to Toto for guitar shredding!” 😂 Me: Lukather? Hello?!!
caught that tour 3 weeks ago. Your friend was right, but unlike your friend, I was prepared for Steve Lukather.
@@testodude Excellent!!!
The late, great Jeff Porcaro played drums on Boz Skaggs Silk Degrees. Porcaro invented the Rosanna shuffle you hear in the beginning and thru the song.
...the " outro jam " was exactly that....totally ad-libbed !!!
If you want a rock and tight performance of Toto. You should also try their song On the Run especially the live in Montreux 1991 version. I promise you, you will not regret it.
Only one song on Toto 4 was not released as a single. They were HUGE that year.
The rumor is this song is about actress Rosanna Arquette, who one of the guys dated. The model/dancer in the video is a dead ringer for Rosanna in her youth. But the band has said it wasn't specifically about her, but about a conglomeration of girlfriends and SO's. We may never know the real story.
Check out 99 and Georgy Porgy by them! Always loved Toto,still have all of their albums.I love watching y`alls reactions!Keep On Rockin'
The bass is amazing too in this song. Too know that this guy walked in a room where a lot of players tried and just pulled out a bass line in a second becoming you are the one that I want from Grease. The Toto guys left such a mark on music.
Have you tried "Hold the Line" by Toto yet? It is straight fire from beginning to end
love your enthusiasm for the smooth as butter yacht rock era, double Ambrosia up next
This song takes me right back to high school. So cool to see you react to this. 99 is another great Toto song as well!👍🏻
Omg I hadn’t thought of that song in ages, yes!
Love 99 great recommendation!
With all that amazing musicianship……DONT FORGET THE BASS….EXCELLENT!!!!!!
Aldo Nova double take
1. "Monkey on your Back"
2. "Hold Back the Night"
You won't be disappointed. Trust me. :) Great Reaction choice by the way. Toto absolutely ROCKS
Youse mugs actually enjoy the music and that,s nothing short of awesome its like im discovering the song all over again...thank you
The drum licks in the song are notoriously difficult. The late great Jeff Porcarro used to play it for other drummers and no one else could mimic it. There are many video out there. Jeff later revealed that it is what he called a "Half-time shuffle". So respectfully the industry now calls it the 'Rosanna Shuffle'. They discovered that left-handed drummers performing the shuffle on traditional right-handed sets had less problems playing it. I guess the only drummer to nail it on the first take was "Ringo Starr". Also a lefty playing it on a tradition right-handed set.
It was the late great Jeff Porcaro's take on the famous Purdy Shuffle laid down by the legendary Bernard Purdie
My grandma was a Roseanna. Her mother was Italian her father Scottish Irish. I love Scotland and would die for her . But I’ve got an emotional connection to Greece, through perhaps Roseanna’s mixed ancestry.
Toto just blows it skyward! Falling stars, glitter all the way down. Whew!
THE BEAT!!! 💯😎 originated by Bernard Purdy with the "Purdy Shuffle".
Great reaction. You might want to check out Toto playing on "Got To Be Real" by Cheryl Lynn. She returned the favor by singing 2nd lead on Toto's "Georgy Peorgy". Two more examples of their ability to play any style of music they wish.
The majority of the members of Toto were all session musicians.. Either individually or together they have played on at least 5,000 albums and those albums have amassed sales of 500 million + units.
Roxana me recuerda las tarde de patines increibles escuchando toto❤
Yall listening to the 2 best decades of music ever recorded...70's 80's. There has never nor will ever be such amazing talented rockers/bands again. Grung is just that...grung
Without your Love, I’ll be Over you and I Won’t Hold you Back - great Love songs with Steve Lukather on lead vocals - worth a listen.
Africa or Rosanna, one of the great questions of our time.
Must try St George and the Dragon off “Hydra” for a deeper cut. Bobby Kimball singing and Jeff on the cowbell
They did win record of the year with Rosanna in 1983. Plus, they got Album and Procucer of the year with Toto IV. 👍🏻😃❤️
Bombastic, but in the best way possible. Magnificent! 🎆🧨🔥
Next song reactions: Till the end, Pamela, Stop loving you, Don't chain my heart, Georgy Porgy, Make Believe, I'll be over you...oh my goodness, there's so many!!
Don’t Chain My Heart with Luke singing is the bomb too.
@@donnafields2271 Oh yeah!
You cant replicate PERFECTION
Please react to " 99" by Toto, my favorite song of theirs. Seen them in concert a couple of times, they don't disappoint.
Hi, Guys! Hi, from the Bahamas! Try "Rosana: 40 Tours Around The Sun", Also by ToTo! It is one of the best live versions of this song!!! " Africa " also, same live concert!
God Bless!
You guys never cease to crack me up! You are all SO funny! To me (a 60 year-old man) this song was always just a song I had heard. After your reactions, I am actually appreciating it much more. Thanks for doing what you do. Can't wait for the next one. :)
Best reaction channel and team on you tube. They are so much fun to watch. Their reactions are point on! Not to mention their humor! You three make my day! Keep up the good work.
Toto and steely Dan are criminally talented
The next Toto song you should listen to is "Pamela". Vocalist Joseph Williams (son of composer John Williams) really shines and has a bit of the "Rosanna" feel.
Gotta say, I really enjoy your reaction videos. My dad(in his 70s) and I, when watching your "Year of the Cat" reaction, just knew as the song went on, that you would be blown away. It was so much fun knowing what you didn't, but then seeing your joy at an amazing song. Keep 'em coming.
The best studio musicians EVER!!
Toto is FIRE!
They have so many Damm good songs!
You want live, see and listen to Home of the Brave from Turkey. Wow!
There is Straight from the Heart, Till the End, I can't stop loving you, Pamela, Going home which Justin Bieber likes😁
A groovy song like You Supply the love, called Waiting for your love. Bobby kills it on that one too.
If you guys haven't done "The Cars" yet. You're in for a treat, as long as you don't do the obvious songs.
You'd love "A Dream Away", "Lust For Kicks", "Tonight She Comes" (Specifically the insane guitar solo). They have a massive library of sweet tunes, but everyone seems to do the same obvious 3 or 4 songs, ugh.
Don’t forget that bass so sweet .
Oh my goodness 😳 I loved this so much. I didn't realize just how great this song really is. I definitely slept on this one. I'm with you guys, I ❤ Toto and their amazing artistry. I remember hearing this often as a kid, but it is even better now. Why don't they make real music like this anymore, is beyond comprehension 🎼 Makes me wish my name was Rosanna.
I’m a first time viewer. I really appreciate your reaction to this song. Imagine being a freshman in hs and discovering TOTO. I remember hearing HOLD THE LINE, and thoroughly rocking out to it. ROSANNA came out the year I graduated. I’ve pretty much loved everything I’ve ever heard from TOTO. They are one of the best bands of their time. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Lol😊
And to see an unbelievable live version watch this from "Falling in Between Live" (Paris) you will be amazes!
you guys should also listen to the Hooters "all you zombies", "and we danced", "satellite", and more from them are all goood
The production, the vocals, the horns, the synthesizer, the groove switch ups, the catchiness, the solos, and that vibe!
