Toto is considered some of the best musicians of all time. They were the backing band for many of the greatest solo artists of the late 70's and 80's. They played most of the instruments on Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album for example. Their catalog is deep
Yup all session players who came together to form Toto. These guys are crazy good.
The first couple of albums are my favourites.
I mean Rosanna? It gives every guy a heart attack for a few seconds because the intro is.... Familiar to some
Best example that everyone can relate to to drive home the impact of these guys. "Human Nature" is a straight up TOTO song.
They did a couple of songs for Michael Jackson’s Thriller if I’m not misreading ?
Toto guitarist Steve Lukather was a studio musician BEAST!
At one point Steve was on 70 of the top 100 songs on radio.
One of theVERY best overall guitarists and his achievement to all genre, to Music is absolutely inbelieveble and criminally underrated!
See the guy in France in the mid 90’, super cool and nice, also on stage with buddies.
I repeat, this guy deserve more respect and reconnaissance
Hugely underrated guitarist in the average music listener’s eyes
I think you guys are starting to understand why it's hard to impress people who grew up in 60s 70s 80s with new music
Rosanna is another Toto song that kicks!!
Instrumentally Rosanna is my favorite!! Love it!!
With Patrick Swayze in the video as a bonus.
Yes
Plus pretty blonde in red dress!
Yeh another banger! He will ❤ it!!
THIS IS THE BAND THAT PLAYED ON THE ENTIRE THRILLER ALBUM....
My generation grew up with the BEST music. The talent, passion, variety, and versatility is stunning.
Yep 65 baby ❤
We actually saw Toto in concert last night! They were so amazing! The same energy as the video, They rocked, entire stadium on their feet singing every word.
Saw them right before covid.
One of the best concerts I ever went to with most of original band members.!!!!!!
So effing jealous!
Oh wow, that must have been amazing, so jealous lol
They were fantastic!@@lisamareepritchard6375
I’m going to sound really old but I’m going to say it. This was back when you actually had to have talent. Actual singing, playing and performing skills. Honed. Practiced. To within an inch of your life.
Today you can manipulate things and make music but is it really talent?
We had so many talented artists.
Most could sing, play an instrument, and write/compose their own songs.
I miss actual music. The singing is as good as the music.
By comparison...NO. T
You’ve heard these guys jams hundreds of times and you just didnt know it. The guys in Toto were Some of the top session players of the Seventies and Eighties and played on dozens, maybe hundreds of hit albums by top artists. David Paich’s father Marty did arrangents for Elvis and other big stars.
Yes,but the best studio band in my opinion played for Linda Rondstadt the eagles
Toto is the all-out pop equivalent to Steely Dan. The best studio musicians making the best MUSIC you've heard.
Considering most of Toto are former members of Steely Dan, that's a fair assessment. 😂
They actually played with Steely Dan. And many many others. So they are a part of steely Dan.
Tell me you don’t know much about the Toto and Steely Dan connection with out telling me. 🤦🏻♂️
Paich and Porcaro, Pretzel and Katy.
70s Super stars
Jeff Porcaro is a drummer's drummer.
RIP
Drumeo has a series called “The genius of “ and the drummer Jeff Porcaro is one of the drummers in the series.
Toto is an American band from Los Angeles. The lead singer once dated actresses Rosanna Arquette and wrote the song Rosanna about her.
From about 1960-2000, you had real musicians, making real music.
What a unique concept!
@@jimfrederick3907For real. Many "bands" in the current era don't have a single true musician that can play any instrument, or even write music. Then people wonder why the radio is still playing music from 50 years ago.
@@jackastor5265 So if you only focus your craft on one instrument, you arent a true musician?
FACT!!❤
Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Django Reinhardt, Duke Ellington, Les Paul, Chuck Berry, Bix Beiderbecke, Fats Waller, Cab Calloway, Stan Kenton, Vivaldi, Fritz Kreisler, Paderewski, Bizet, Chopin, Bach, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Handel, Mozart, Bellini, Verdi, Rubinstein, Haydn ..... Sure. No real musicians before 1960. No real music. 🤣
David Hungate, after viewing the name on the demo tapes, explained to the group that the Latin words "in toto" translated to "all-encompassing". Because the band members played on so many records and so many musical genres, they adopted the name "Toto" as their own.
"Rosanna" next. These guys are all "professional" studio musicians. Each one is a virtuoso in their own right. They were (and continued to be) hired guns for other bands (writing, playing) and decided to get together and do their own thing. This was the result. They all take turns writing, and singing lead (between three of them).
For reference "Human Nature" by MICHAEL JACKSON is a TOTO song. Check the credits. It's them playing it too. And many other contributions on the THRILLER album. This is just one example of many.
Check out "Rosanna" RECORD OF THE YEAR grammy for 1983.
Thank y’all for shedding light on this song and honoring my dads vocals and the whole bands talent! 🔥🫶🏻💯
Toto is VERY talented and VERY versatile! Listen to the song Africa. You would not think it is the same band!!
70s TOTO ROCKED PERIOD
We had landlines back then, and an expression, we would use sometimes, was “hold the line”- you couldn’t always get hold of someone on a landline back then. No voicemail, no call waiting, no call forwarding. And you couldn’t carry your landline with you. If you weren’t there to answer, or you were on the phone with someone else, you couldn’t get THAT call! So hold the line - stick around and keep the line clear, so they can get hold of you. And if they were working, were delayed, or no where near a working landline or public pay phone, they couldn’t call - they would call when they could, so “Love isn’t always on time”. And if they didn’t have enough money for the public pay phone, they couldn’t call, or the telephone operator would cut them off after they used up the time they paid for. Even the next county could be considered long distance, and cost extra, even if it’s across the street. Sometimes it was phone tag back and forth, but you wouldn’t know they actually called unless you were there to answer the phone. SOOOOOOOOO much nicer and convenient with cell phones!!!!❤
Love TOTO!!!! And the lead singer is a very soulful singer!!!❤❤❤
First, they're from LA, the San Fernando Valley. Almost all of the band went to school together including the 3 Porcaro brothers.
Their name means total, everthing, as in music genres.
Hold the line came from, I've got another call, hold the line, from another girl.
I couldn't be prouder to say that they were all friends of mine in school. After 50 years, it still blows my mind, a new generation listening to my friends play and digging it.
The musicians in Toto have played on albums, including there own, that have sold more then 750 million albums with Thriller at #1.
This song was written by a 19 yr old. Amazing tune for any musical taste because the talent shines through.
Once you've heard the intro, there's no question which song this is - and, it's a TRUE CLASSIC!!!
70s TOTO ALL THE WAY 1978 BANGER
@@theodoreritola7641
👍💕
1970s CLASSIC 4 SURE
This band back when it was this group of guys was so ridiculously talented.
I get a kick out of the comment that Toto was formed by all top session players. Because, while that is true, most of them knew each other and played together as teens. They are like a garage band that separately became great session players and reformed as a super group.
All true, I went to Grant HS with the guys, Jeff, Mike, Steve Porcaro, Lukather, Paich, go figure.
50 years ago Jeff started the whole thing with Steely Dan, those were the days!
So I'm a 58yr old Canadian..... It wasn't till this video that I noticed how much the lead singer of ToTo looks like and sings in the same style as Canadian great Burton Cummings lead singer for the great band "The Guess Who" {think songs like "These Eyes", "American Woman"}.
Rosanna! That's the song you NEEEEEEED to do! The groove!
Some of the greatest musicians, studio and live, ever. They were in their teens and early 20s when they became 1st call session musicians on some of the biggest records ever made for a list of artists that includes Steely Dan, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Chicago, Donna Summer, Don Henley, Cher - and Sonny and Cher...just unbelievable bios for everyone of these guys. And, most of them went to high school together in LA. Lightning in a bottle.
The band did tell the press it was after the dog from Wizard of Oz but later on David Hungate explained that the Latin words "in toto" translated to "all-encompassing". Because the band members played on so many records and so many musical genres, they adopted the name "Toto" as their own.
NO music like the golden oldies music
🔥🔥🔥 💥 💛🧡💛
"99" is one of my personal faves by this band. I didn't follow the incarnations of the band after the early '80s, so I can't comment on their albums after that era. But they were very popular almost from the get go. "Hold the Line" was a big hit, for reasons you've just now witnessed. Outstanding musicianship and singing on a love song from a somewhat different perspective. A battle cry.
You've GOT to dig in to their catalogue post-early 80s. Some phenomenal music. Some recommendations: The Seventh One (1988), Tambu (1995), Falling In Between (2006), XIV (2015).
Once the band came together, David Paich began composing what would become the eponymous debut album, Toto. According to popular myth, at the first recording sessions, in order to distinguish their own demo tapes from other bands' in the studio, Jeff Porcaro wrote the word "Toto" on them. In the early 1980s, band members told the press that the band was named after Toto the dog from The Wizard of Oz.[10] After the completion of the first album, the band and record were still unnamed. David Hungate, after viewing the name on the demo tapes, explained to the group that the Latin words "in toto" translated to "all-encompassing". Because the band members played on so many records and so many musical genres, they adopted the name "Toto" as their own
I saw Toto and Journey together in concert not long ago. They are still incredible and put on a great show. The two bands are now connected family since the daughter of the Toto keyboard player married the son of one of the guys from Journey. It was a great concert, by the way.
I haven't been listening to this in years. Just realised I still know every line in the song. I got the album as a Christmas present 1978. It is still in my possession, maybe time to play it.
THAT DRUMMER IS AWESOME!!!!HOLD THE LINE BABY!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I HAVE GOT TO LEARN TO PLAY THE DRUMS ON THIS!!!
They are NOT from Australia, they are from L.A. and and they were top studio musicians for a lot of famous music. They decided to form this band to explore what they could do together.
Toto were amazing. I feel blessed to have grown up with music like this, no auto tune just raw talent ❤
I'm thinking you probably heard one of their biggest hits called "Africa" It's an amazing song! It's been played all over the place!
The singer on this one is Bobby Kimball. He is from my small hometown of Vinton, Louisiana and is a family friend.
NNNNNIIIICCCCEEEE
He reminds me so much of Burton Cummings ❤ I was litterally looking through the comments to see if he really or not lol
@@t.lee.p9182 SWEET LOL
I WAZ 17 IN 1978 WHAT A GOOD 70s song
Love this song and Toto in general! Gotta react to Styx too! Great road trip music! ❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
They're an American band. I won't guarantee that every member was born here, because there were a lot of them, but they formed as a band in the US. I'm glad you gave Bobby Kimball some love on the lead vocals. He's often overlooked, but I love his voice.
Lawd have mercy!!!!🔥🥴 Steve Lukather is a sexy beast on that guitar!!❤️🎸
***** Part of This Group are Second Generation Musicians. Brothers Jeff and Mike Porcaro's DAD, JOE PORCARO, Known as a Studio DRUMMER and PERCUSSION Educator. My Dad, Trumpet Player BUCK MONARI Knew Him & a Whole circle of Studio Musicians.
Yup. One of my ex's studied drumming for Joe Porcaro. This really started a walk down memory lane.
AFRICA LOL WHAT EVER 70sHOLD THE LINE ANY DAY
Forgot Steve aswell on the keyboard. Who also wrote the song human nature that michael jackson ended up with.
I enjoyed Don’s reaction here. He knows the song and is having fun revisiting it. Like us all who love it!!!!!
please do more Toto they have so many great songs
My favorite "Toto" song !! Hold The Line.....yes !
Like you said this music is timeless and NEVER should be a guilty pleasure!
Toto is from the US and formed in 1977.
You shoud check out Bostons "More Than a Feeling' - you will love it!!
HOLD THE LINE 1978. MORE THAN A FEELING 1976
250 PLUS GREAT BANDS, THERE WAS JUST NOTHINGGGG LIKE THE 70'S GUYS! 😊
We lived in Japan during the 80s. My dad told me a story about how my mom and he were trying to find the venue for Toto. They stopped in shops and asked, "Toto?" One shop owner figured it out and took them to the bathroom. Toto is the brand name for toilets in Japan. Regardless, once they found the concert, I wish I was old enough. I bet it was awesome.
70S GOLD RIGHT HERE LOL.
Real musicians and bands would write their own music, play their own instruments, sometimes more than one, and have great singing voices and the whole band would join in on the background singing, plus every song wouldn't sound the same like these days, they had creativity and true Talent!!
I miss the days we had great rock music but you could actually understand what they were singing!❤❤❤
Love Toto, they're simply fire. Nothing like the 70's, we were spoiled with great music. "Rosanna" is another great song by Toto.
1978 BABY
OVER SPOILED MORE LIKE IT ..70s where fantastic
One of my all time favorites growing up🔥
HOLD THE LINE 1978 Jane By JEFFERSON STARSHIP 1979 LATE 70s ROCK THE BEST ROCK
Im a drummer, so I literally fast forward to the end when Jeff Porcaro does the the double kicks.
People would never make fun of you playing 😢great music from the greatest in music history the 70's. Love 💓 your channel!!!
UUUUUU BETCHA 70s all day any day
My favorite song from Hold the Line album, which I had as a freshman in high school on 8 tract Was "Ill Supply the Love" That songs shreds as well. Yes in North Dakota in the 70's freshmen ages 14 and 15 droves pickups with 8 track players to school. Life on gravel was good.
Rock and roll will never die
Another one of my favs!! Next band u should check out is Kansas! U will love the song Dust in the Wind!
Dude, if you think this song is great (and you are right, it is), you need to listen to the entire album Toto IV. React to whatever you want or not, but it is the tightest album. Many hit songs, but all-around most under-rated album of that decade. Give it a listen.
'The origin of the name "Toto" was a cause for debate for quite some time. The band themselves gave differing accounts on different occasions. Initially, rock mythology had it that the name was taken from the word that Porcaro would write on the band's demo tapes to keep them separate from the other bands in the studio. Then the band told the press that they were named after the dog in The Wizard of Oz. Eventually, the "official" story was revealed to be that "Toto" was taken from the Latin words "In Toto," which means "all-encompassing," with the significance of that selection being that the band brought together so many genres and areas of specialization that they could, and did, do anything and everything.' - SongFacts website
Some of the best players of all time in that group. Skills for days. Creativity forever. Way beyond today
this is what music was all about in the 70- early 80s there was always 2 people singing the song
the harmonies give the story and the song a soul and balances out the sound
songs then weren't about the 1 singer. it was about the story sung and played
all the great bands then did this
Toto got a bunch of bangers!
Fun fact... Steve Lukather's son is in a band together with Phil Collins son Nicholas.. The Effect... Check it out! 🔥🔥🔥
Great reaction! I especially the wide-eyed look into the camera and sharing that you have "goosebumps". That's the stuff that makes "reaction" videos great because we get to empathize and share those "first time feelings" all over again through your experience. I love the respect you are putting on these older songs. I grew up on disco/R&B/pop dance in the seventies and eighties and added in rap in the middle eighties (Run DMC, LL Cool J, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Slick Rick, Whodini, Two Live Crew, etc). However, I could not STAND country and hard rock/heavy metal until my late twenties. I suppose growth in life is what it is all about.
JUST ONE MORE THING: No disrespect but the Gun-n-Rose's line from "Paradise City" is "Take me down to the PARADISE CITY; Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty". Second video I've heard you misquote the lyric. I did double check myself in case I was mistaken before making this comment. Cheers!
YES!!!! After Steely Dan, Toto is my favorite band; “Hold The Line” is on my funeral list; NO sad songs, it’s going to be a PARTY 😂❤
This song never gets old and fighting for love and sticking it out is most often the hardest but best decision.
These were primarily LA Studio Musicians! And that drummer guy went on to some success as did the lead guitarist !
After achieving success as studio musicians, the high school buddies decided to form a new band in the late 1970s with some of the best musicians in the business …David Hungate, after viewing the name on the demo tapes, explained to the group that the Latin words "in toto" translated to "all-encompassing". Because the band members played on so many records and so many musical genres, they adopted the name "Toto" as their own. THE SINGER IS Bobby Kimball.
I got to see these guys LAST NIGHT! This was an UNBELIEVABLE experience! I love music like this!
All stars of music period.... Awesome live too not just a great studio band. Underrated by the public. Admired by the players.
I love this song. I screetch it out in my car with the windows up and the radio blasting.
You have to give him credit for singing the theme song from the Lion King. Talent at all levels!!!
Toto is a phenomenal group: Bobby Kimball on lead vocals, Steve Lukather (suspenders) on guitar, Jeff Porcaro on drums, David Hungate on bass(in this video), and Steve Porcaro on keyboards, David Paich on keyboards. Bobby Kimball, Steve Lukather, and David Paich all share in the lead vocals for Toto. David Hungate told the guys in Toto that Toto in Latin meant all-encompassing, but they went with Toto from Wizard Of Oz in the beginning, but learned of the Latin meaning and went with that. Toto is in my top 5 bands of all time: 1. Kansas, 2. Toto, 3. Foreigner, 4. Journey, 5. Styx. Toto has some great songs like: Hydra, Hold The Line, 99, Rosanna, Africa(good just not in my top 10), I'll Be Over You, Pamela, White Sister, Georgy Porgy, I Won't Hold You Back, and more! Great band!
The thing to remember is that these 60s and 70s bands with amazing lead singers like Bobby Kimball (Toto), Steve Perry (Journey), Ann Wilson (Heart) and those featuring their harmonizing like Three Dog Night and CSN&Y and so very many more did not have the advantages of today's technology. There were no in-ear monitors, no auto correct. Heck, wireless mics weren't that popular until the 80s. So when they sounded amazing live there was no crutch or trick. They were just that good. 🤘
TOTO is probably the most used band for Hollywood movie soundtracks.
TOTO is one of the tightest bands going still today!!&! Excellent musicians with excellent standards!!&!
Perhaps the finest collection of studio rats in the business, many thousands of tracks recorded between them, stuff you’ve heard tons of, you just don’t know it. Not to mention, 3 of them have fathers that are professional composers, one of which carries the surname Williams. Yes, THAT Williams, though Joseph didn’t join Toto ‘til later than this.
Re: the vocals, many of the members have said Toto was founded as a vocal group, they all can sing, and do so well. You’ll basically always have access to 4 voices, sometimes 5, maybe even 6. Then, on top of it, they’re bad ass players, one foot in jazz, one in rock and the spare leg all over the place.
Toto were a group of studio musicians who got together and decided to do their own thing.
the guy on lead guitar was part of Ringo Starrs, the Beatles drummer supergroup that Ringo would form to celebrate his birthday. . .is always a great view...if you ever wanted to take a look
Toto is an epic band, this song is on my "forever playlist"!!!
Great band. Hold the line is one of my favorite from Toto
There’s a video of a full concert from the 80’s where Lukather does a tribute guitar solo to Jimi Hendrix. It’s a must see. The dude was insane. It’s no wonder Michael Jackson used him on his biggest album.
Still is! Toto opening for Journey the past few tours.
Def one of the most diverse bands I know of. Toto’s Georgey Porgy is completely different than either songs you’ve done. Crazy talented.
There was the first song I heard from Toto and it blew my mind '70s music '80s music baby boomers music
Keep up the TOTO reactions. "I'll be over you" is another good one. Along with 40 years of other tracks, and live performances.
The best music ever made. 1940 to 1998
In 1978 Toto opened for Peter Frampton.....when Frampton was done the audience yelled for more Toto.
this is one of the groups i grew up listening too! so glad u are u like them! i have been listening to all kinds of music from rock and roll, hard rock heavy metal, country, latin, pop music since i was a kid!
Toto is a great band .
The Roseanna shuffle is one of the greatest drum arrangements of all time !
Great video guys 👍🏻
Everyone in TOTO were hired guns , session musician's who got together and decided to form there OWN band.... They were also hired by Jacko to be the musician's on his THRILLER ALBUM. All that was TOTO.....
They were still touring last year. My wife and I saw them with Journey in our hometown. Great time!
If you get a chance go see them in person. I wasn't a huge fan but I liked their songs and 2 yrs ago went to see them and they were phenonium.
Rocking!!! 💚💚💚💚
One thing dat toto is knowen for is tat in all ther songs you wil ave a part wher they surprise you out of nowher whit the Instrumental. And i love this kind of Artist
Another great fighting for love rock song, is Jane by Jefferson Starship
Seeing them in concert next month. They still put on a great show.
This, one of my favorite bands are unique - every song is good!! I have not heard one bad song from them. 😍
TOTO is just straight filthy……in the best way possible 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Stops me in my tracks, and I dance....and I'm 78. But I can STILL dance
If I can't dance,Just through the dirt on me. I'm dead.
hey now, I have a set of rainbow suspenders, got them in the early 80's. still wear them sometimes hehe
Me and my buddy Bob who was a musician got blasted on qualudes one night and we both had to work the next day so he picked me up the next morning in his 70 coupe Deville that had a state of the art audio system and we both put a few drops of speed in our coffee and as we pulled away from the deli this song came on the radio! We had to pull over! This was so killer the first time I heard it! I get so jealous sometimes when I see you hearing music for the first time because I really don’t remember when the first time I’ve heard so many songs but this one was vivid!😂 great days just glad I survived it!
Timeless music has something about it that speaks a universal truth, weather it is the words in the song that resonate a deep sense of truth that we all acknowledge or the feeling the vibration the music gives our bodies - it gets us to a moment of liberation straight through the heart!
