Gifted Musicians, amazing instrumentation, great lyrics: This was our pop music back in the 80's. We were so spoiled.
I would add, 60's, 70's into the mid to late 80's, then along came autotune and things quickly went downhill
It wasn't all good...Back Street Boys, WHAM... Just sayin'. But there definitely was some good stuff.
@@ffjsb I was only talking about Toto.
The 80’s had great music
@@ffjsb Backstreet boys were from 90s!
This drum beat is iconic and easily in the top 5. RIP Jeff Porcaro.
I agree 100%!
One of the best shuffle beats ever put on vinyl.
The blonde in the red dress "Rosanna" is the fabulous Cynthia Rhodes her credits include Flashdance and Dirty Dancing.
Is she the one that was married to Patrick Swayze? Or am I confusing her with someone else? Either way, she’s a fantastic dancer!
Also was married to Richard Marx.
@@lrsrosebud She was married to singer Richard Marx.
She was Johnny's professional partner. The one Robbie knocked up
@@lrsrosebudPatrick Swayze is one of the male dancers in this video.
I don't see that anyone's mentioned yet, but this song has one of the most recognizable and challenging drum beats to play: the Rosanna shuffle. It's a cross between a few different halftime beats, the Purdie shuffle, the beat from Led Zep's 'Fool in the Rain', and the Bo-Diddley beat, according to the drummer himself, Jeff Porcaro.
Jeff is easily one of the top ten drummers. Oh, and he's chewing gum at the same time too...
RIP Jeff and Mike Porcaro.
Toto is a damned diverse band - the guitarist and drummer, Steve Lukather and Jeff Porcaro are two of the most prolific studio musicians of the 70s and 80s. They're on everything from Steely Dan to the *most popular MJ stuff. (In Toto: in totality, complete) - That last section is straight jazz-fusion. One of those videos I remember watching as a kid on MTV.
Lukather is on an estimated 1,500 albums. Back in the day he was producer Quincy Jones go to guy.
@@rogerdaly6326yep!
My last day of high school, I walked out to my car and popped in my Toto casette tape and celebrated my freedom with this song! Nice memory. ❤️
What a great way to end high school! ♥️
GREAT MEMORY!! Thanks for SHARING! :)
Must be an early 80s grad. 82 here.
I think we all had that. I may still have it…
@davidsanders5788 yes, you are right. CLASS OF '82 as well!!
The tempo changes during this song are extreme - the Rosanna Shuffle is taught to all drum students - it’s so iconic. Thanks for showing this!!!!!
That shuffle pattern on the drums is legendary. We were so spoiled back then. BTW The show was Happy Days.
The video is a take off of the Jets and the Sharks from the musical "Westside Story".
jamesknox7171 - You beat me to it!
Toto was a supergroup composed of many of the best session and touring musicians of the 70's and 80's. They decided to get together and do their own thing so there are musical influences in their music from all of the groups they've ever played with. No wonder their music is so diverse.
This song was written when a member was Dating the actress ROSANNA ARQUETTE who was the main character (actual ) in the Madonna movie I cant remember Chasing something
Yes, "Desperately Seeking Susan" was the movie! She was also great in Pulp Fiction!
She was dating Jeff Pacaro the drummer. One of the baddest mf on a set
Georgy Porgy is a must to react to by Toto!
❤❤❤
Just an incredible band. GREAT musicians and singers.
Yes, Bobby Kimball's voice is amazing. Steve Lukather's solo is so freaking epic.
Jeff Porcaro's shuffle is legendary.
I'm a 26 year old man, but my childhood was this! One of the best band ever existed in my own opinion
The show with Fonzie is 'Happy Days'. Go back and look at the dancers closely to see a young Patrick Swayze!
I saw Ringo Starr and his all star band in Sep. 2023 and seeing this and the other two Toto hits live made me a Toto fan
My favorite Toto song - "Pamela"
I was in love with the girl in the blue sweater in that video during high school....
🇬🇧 The 70s & 80s were the absolute best time ever musically. And i feel privileged to have grown up then & heard it all first hand. It totally warms my heart to see you yunguns (young people😊) listening to, and sometimes loving what you're hearing. 🎙️🎶🎼❤️
Bobby Kimball was the lead vocal for this song and "Hold The Line". This is one rabbit hole you won't regret diving into. Toto has a rich catalogue of great songs to explore.
The song was written by David Paich, who has said that the song is based on numerous girls he had known. As a joke, the band members initially played along with the common assumption that the song was based on Rosanna Arquette, who was dating Toto keyboard player Steve Porcaro at the time. Arquette herself played along with the joke, commenting in an interview that the song was about "my showing up at 4 a.m., bringing them juice and beer at their sessions.*
Well...the who know know I guess...years long joke,huh ?
@@mariajobson739 That is what the page said...I just copied it. I thought so too, nuts.
Thank You for playing this song!! 🎵
Toto has a signature sound. Love them!
The girl in the red dress was the fabulous Cynthia Rhodes; she was the epitome of the dancer in the 80s! She was in Flashdance and dirty dancing which even have cult followings to this day!
I'm a proud member of that cult :-)
me too!
70’s & 80’s had the greatest amount of originality & artistry! Everyone had their own historic sound! SO UNLIKE TODAY
This song is SO MUCH FUN LIVE! I just got to see TOTO in concert, and holy moly is it FIRE! Today, i sing this song in karaoke bars and in my car ALL THE TIME! I can actually sing both singers' performances quite well! Don't believe me? I just won third place in a local karaoke bar tourney!
Jeff Porcaro was a phenomenal drummer who laid down some crazy grooves for TOTO. RIP Jeff.
The TV show with the Fonz was called Happy Days.
I think I was in 6th grade listening to the radio at home one afternoon. The DJ introduced this song and I loved it. It was like my first tweenie favorite song. They recently toured here with Journey. I didn’t want to pay $215 for the ticket… but what a great vibe…. Even now at 55 I love it.
One of the greatest band what ever existed !
TOTO ❤
Toto's awesome! The video reminded me of Grease!! She even resembled Olivia Newton John & the guys with the leather! Happy Days was the show with the Fonz in it!! 💥
Toto was a group of amazing musicians. All most all of their songs r different nd everyone in the band sang on the song. Awesome group. Music is nothing like it used to be man. Such good music back in the day.
One of my best memories of Toto was their song "99". A quieter love song, but somehow this one just stays with me.
I love Toto! Once I found a tour shirt at goodwill, and it is part of my every day wardrobe!
My wife remembers the brothers playing for family get togethers before they moved to CA. Superb talent meets hard work.
Everything everything Toto did is amazing. The show with Fonzie was happy days
THAT is the INCREDIBLE Cynthia Rhodes dancing. Was married to music icon Richard Marx - and starred in Staying Alive (with Joh Travolta) and Dirty Dancing (with Patrick Swayze - who is also IN this video).
I knew about Cynthia Rhodes in this but never knew about Patrick Swayze. I had back up the video to see him.
@@chantellecline6945 I didn't know either until I started watching these reaction videos. He's SO young - almost unrecognizable.
Thanks for confirming that was Patrick Swayze I saw.
I always loved the "West Side Story" influence to this music video. Back in 1984 when I was in the Army, I was listening to this song on cassette tapes trying to figure out the lead guitar riff on my Fender Stratocaster. Great memories.
TOTO is insanely talented studio musicians making their own music.
Toto was a supergroup collab of some of the most respected musos who got together and produced some (unsurprisingly) amazing music. And Fonzie was from Happy Days.
Eddie Van Halen once called Toto "the band any musician would dream of being in". He told Steve Lukather that "he had never seen a band play tighter than you guys" high praise coming from EVH. That singer you keep referring to is Bobby Kimball and to this day he still does performances
Hey there! FYI, Steve lukather is the lead guitarist. He was Eddie Van Halens' favorite guitarist and friend. High praise for Luke coming from the king, EVH.
to a time when it was the voice and not the looks.... So glad I grew up in that
Now do "I won't hold you back". One of the most BEAUTIFUL songs ever written.
The drums you were trying to think of are "congas". Bongos are the small ones that you hold between your knees and play with your hands. Congas are also played with hands but they are much bigger and have stands.
A bunch of hardworking studio musicians who got tired of the BS of the music biz trying to piece together a living formed a band and the rest is history. They put together a bunch of songs that hit big. Amazing musicians, composers and arrangers, and performers. One of a kind..
Congrats my dude. You just listened to one of the greatest drummers to ever live.
Saw Toto just this last Monday live. They’re just as good as they were then.
The horn section was such a big impact in some of my favorite bands in the 70s and 80s.
Toto have a signature sound. It's called awesome.
Happy Days was show with Fonzie! O.k. I was so distracted by the girl dancer and she looked so familiar, but she was so small on my phone and she never stood still so it took me a while. Finally figured out she was Patrick Swayze's dance partner (before Baby!), in Dirty Dancing, and yes she can DANCE! I have heard this song by Toto so many times, but have never seen the video. It was reminiscent of West Side Story so I agree with you that it seemed like a play. Toto is awesome. Saw them in concrt on Valentine's Day followed by Journey. Africa is my favorite song by Toto and they killed it in concert. Keep these going please. Loving ALL of it !! 😍
I love toto music
Waiting For Your Love is a MUST LISTEN for you!!!!!!!
As I understand it, when Toto formed, all the members had worked separately as session musicians for years. In that role you have to always always adapt to whoever you work with at the moment, being able to give it your all and still not trying to take front position. So a bunch of excellent and humble professional musicians. I can't imagine a better setup for a fantastic band.
The story goes back even further. All the guys except Bobby and Hungate went to the same high school and played in the same band. Mike, who replaced Hungate, went to that school as well tho I don't know if he ever played in that band. Paich and the Porcoro boys' dads met while playing on the Glen Campbell show an introduced their boys to each other.
They were all studio musicians, playing every week, working with the biggest producers (Individually and collectively, Toto members have contributed to an astonishing 5,000 albums, amassing a sales history of half a billion albums.). As Toto I think they took what they had learned and produced their albums themselves. This is a style that is now called yacht rock, a polished, posh sound with great writers, producers and musicians. Groups like Doobie brothers, Steely Dan, Chicago, Survivor, Foreigner, Journey (some of the members sang and played on each others albums). Top notch back in the day and still good today.
Nice reaction, Ms Arquette had us all drooling,
She even dated Peter Gabriel. 😊
I used to go by Roseanne back in the day (don't ask), when I left one job they spray painted a 45 with this song on it and gave it to me as a going away present. Also got a lot of Roxanne and the red dress comments. Brings back so many memories.
Toto is like you just took the best musicians of every instrument and tossed them in a blender. Their music is NUTS. One of those few bands that, like you were saying with the space shuttle music, will be with me for the long haul.
Best musicians of te 80’s . Best song of the year , Grammys
I loved ,Africa and Hold the line. It was great time to be alive music wise 70's and 80's. I was in high school when Roseanna came out.If I'm not mistaken the girl in the video. Was in Staying Alive and Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swazey, he was in this video too ❤.
This is what made MTV so, so special in the 80's. The waiting for the next music video by your singers, groups etc. If only, MTV could be what it was back when it all started.
They would announce the next newest video the preview, the day and time...then we come indoors to watch it. It would be the talk the beginning of the school day as we roamed the hallways.
Love Toto! They are truly skilled musicians. I'm still finding songs that some or all of the band has played on...The drum intro is a shuffle created by Jeff Porcaro called the Porcaro Shuffle. These guys are awesome. I think this is my favorite song of theirs. The original version is longer and ends with a jam session where they just go nuts! The girl playing Rosanna was one of the lead dancers in Dirty Dancing.
I saw Toto live in 2012. I think Hold the Line, Africa and Rosanna took them like a full hour alone for those 3 songs. They made them suuuuuper long with extended solo's and just some amazing jazzy stuff like the outro here in em too. They were fucking amazing, never noticed them play a single note wrong, missing a beat or anything. One of the better live performances I've seen, and I've seen 50+ bands live at this point.
Love them in concert
They give a great live show and really seem to enjoy themselves and tell some great stories during the concert.
Guitarist Steve Lukather sings lead on this song and he is a remarkable guitarist, one of two guitar players Michael Jackson’s Beat it and also played on MJs Human Nature. Lukather also sings lead on "I’ll be over you" and "It’s not the same without your love."
"I'll be over you" will always be my favorite Toto song and I love that Michael McDonald lends his vocals to it. He was quite popular at that time and one of my grandma's favorites, so we would always watch the video together on MTV
Masters class in musicianship!! Shout out to Steve Lukither and the late Great Jeff Picario RIP.
Toto was a group of session musicians with outrageous talent who were the backing band on Boz Scaggs album Silk degrees IMO one of the best of the 80s
I was 12 years old when this came out and I was jamming 😊❤❤
One of my favorite songs of all time! This song never gets old
This song was written about actress Rosanna Arquette whom the lead singer dated. The gang dance was inspired by the play West Side Story
The one with the big mustache and you pointed and said " His Voice Is Crazy ". Is Bobby Kimball, he sang lead on " Hold The Line ". Bobby is from my hometown of Vinton, Louisiana and is a close family friend. OH! and " Georgey Porgy " is a must.
"Spiritual Man" by Toto is one of their lesser known songs that has crept up into my favorite songs of all time! The vocals are insane, the lyrics are incredible, and the instrumentation is just a masterclass in sound design.
This is considered to be "The Pefect Song" by many including myself.
There is one more lead singer. The gentleman playing the old upright piano is the lead singer to their song "Africa".
this song was on the same album as Africa, Toto IV.
stranger in the town is a good song as well
Can't believe no one else pointed it out. But this is the first time I can remember seeing Patrick Swayze on screen. (dancer in red jacket, grey shirt) I thought you recognized him as your reaction at the moment when you get a good look at his face, 9:50 in the vid. But na.. Most people don't know he was a trained dancer before he became a successful actor.
Fun fact for you, Cynthia Rhodes, the dancer in the Rosanna video, is the ‘teacher’ in Van Halen’s ‘Hot for the Teacher’ video.
These guys were the band that made Thriller and other great records. Studio studs who made their own records too
"Child's Anthem" into "Girl Goodbye". Saw them twice once early with Jeff and once much later with Simon Phillips and both times they opened with those two. Crazy good.
Love your reactions! We sure had some GREAT music back then!
“Rosanna” and “Africa” are both on the Album “Toto IV” released in 1982 (the bands best selling album). Toto IV received three Grammy Awards, “Album of the Year”, “Producer of the Year” and “Rosanna” won “Record of the Year”. Yes that girl can dance, her name is Cynthia Rhodes. She and Patrick Swayze are both in this music video and went on to star in “Dirty Dancing”, Patrick as Johnny Castle and Cynthia as Penny Johnson.
1982, that is. (Rosanna, Africa, Toto IV)
@@VictorPM1550 can’t type, yes the year was 1982, gotta fix that, LOL
Cynthia Rhodes is the Lady in Red , she was Penny in Dirty Dancing, in Flashdance, Staying Alive, Runaway opposite Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons not only is she a good actor but a fantastic dancer and was in the pop group Animotion and was married to Richard Marx
We are glad you love it as much as we do. That's some great sounds and vibrations humming through your body. Toto rocks.
Rosanna is Cynthia Rhodes. Married to singer Richard Marx! She was in Flashdance & Dirty Dancing to name a few
Makes me happy to see you enjoy Toto.
Also, scrolled down a bit and didnt see, but the TV show you are talking about is Happy Days.
Cynthia Rhodes played Rosanna and she was married to Richard Marx. She acted with John Travolta in Staying Alive. She also was in Flash Dance. Steve Lukather the lead guitarist and first singer played on the Thriller album by Michael Jackson, etc.
Brings back childhood memories, I use to listen to this on a cassette tape of my dad’s when I was a kid and I still love Toto!💯
Master musicians, one and all.
For me, this is still the perfect song. Every note.
Almost all these guys went to the same high school, which happens to be my rival high school, Grant High, Los Angeles. Your Tom Selleck comment is hilarious because he went there too! 🤣
When you kept saying “Hold the line,” made me think of “Lay it on the line” by Triumph. Which I would love to see a reaction of that song, or Magic Power, Fight the Good Fight, anything by them. You’ll like them.
I actually think this is my favorite Toto song, as you say there is lot put into this one, but its placed perfect!! and yeah its basicly just a song about this guy, who want Rosanna for the rest of hes life, he is hooked on her right!!
I don’t think I ever saw this video and it sounds like this is the album version because it’s longer than one that I remember hearing on the radio. Love it either way.
Now, go find a recent live performance of them doing this, it’s gotten even better with time. This one, and Africa, end up at 10 minute jams.
Luke, if you see this, you’re awesome, still one of my fav axe slingers.
Toto is the brave little dog in _The Wizard of Oz._
Happy Friday y'all. We just had a 4.8 earthquake here in pa/NJ area. Crazy life. Toto is great!
Back in the 70's my aunt gave me a 8 track tape that had Toto and Heart Dog and Butterfly recorded on it before I had ever heard of them
A few years ago - probably over 20 - there was song that had been kicking about in the charts called ‘Another Chance’ by Roger Sanchez. My boyfriend at the time put a Toto album on and we were cuddling up on the sofa. Then suddenly we hear the song ‘I Won’t Hold You Back’ and we both shot up and looked at each other in amazement. It was the sample on the Sanchez song!
As far as I remember, one of the guys in the band was in love with Rosanna Arquette. The woman dancing in the video is Rosanna Arquette. She is an actress and is also David Arquette's sister.
Oops, my bad, the woman dancing IS Cynthia Rhodes. NOT Rosanna Arquette.
The woman in red played in the original "Dirty Dancing" movie with Patrick Swayze. Great song!
