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 ?
Thank y’all for shedding light on this song and honoring my dads vocals and the whole bands talent! 🔥🫶🏻💯
Love your dad's voice. We thank him for sharing his talent.🎉🎉🎉🎉
WOW! He's your Dad?!?!? I LOVE Toto and he's a huge part of it!!!! Tell him i said hi...lol
That's so cool! I had the biggest on crush on him! Lol his voice was so grab you by the feels! I'm 78 still jamming to this!
@@monaestrada6256 keep on rockin! That is awesome!! 🌺🫶🏻🔥💖
Love Bobby Kimball! I still love Toto, but it hasn’t been the same without your dad.
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
Especially when the "music" doesn't compare...
My generation grew up with the BEST music. The talent, passion, variety, and versatility is stunning.
Yep 65 baby ❤
THIS IS THE BAND THAT PLAYED ON THE ENTIRE THRILLER ALBUM....
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
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
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.
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
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 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!!
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
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. 🤣
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.
Love this song and Toto in general! Gotta react to Styx too! Great road trip music! ❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
This song was written by a 19 yr old. Amazing tune for any musical taste because the talent shines through.
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!
My favorite "Toto" song !! Hold The Line.....yes !
Toto is an American band from Los Angeles. The lead singer once dated actresses Rosanna Arquette and wrote the song Rosanna about her.
This band back when it was this group of guys was so ridiculously talented.
Lawd have mercy!!!!🔥🥴 Steve Lukather is a sexy beast on that guitar!!❤️🎸
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!
***** 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.
THAT DRUMMER IS AWESOME!!!!HOLD THE LINE BABY!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I HAVE GOT TO LEARN TO PLAY THE DRUMS ON THIS!!!
"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).
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.
Another one of my favs!! Next band u should check out is Kansas! U will love the song Dust in the Wind!
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"}.
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
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.
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.
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!!!❤❤❤
You would also probably like the song "Baby Come Back" by Player. That would be a good video to react to.
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.
"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.
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.
We didn't have Pro Tools back then. We had Pros.
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
You have to give him credit for singing the theme song from the Lion King. Talent at all levels!!!
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.
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 😂❤
Lol its on mine too! Damn its a shame the biggest party we getv,we aren't there! Well, not in real time o
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!
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!!
please do more Toto they have so many great songs
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!
250 PLUS GREAT BANDS, THERE WAS JUST NOTHINGGGG LIKE THE 70'S GUYS! 😊
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! 🔥🔥🔥
Last year I saw Journey and Toto was their opening act…Also one of the kids from Toto married one of the kids from Journey
Try Moving Pictures- What about me and Aldo Nova - Fantasy. The band Asia had a few you might like. All these bands are early 80s
'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
Just subscribed so I can request FOREIGNER
Im a drummer, so I literally fast forward to the end when Jeff Porcaro does the the double kicks.
You guys probly know Toto's Georgy Porgy. I bet your folks rocked it back in the day and you recognise it
NO music like the golden oldies music
🔥🔥🔥 💥 💛🧡💛
Like you said this music is timeless and NEVER should be a guilty pleasure!
Anything I own by Bread is a great song, another song in the same line is "In the living years " by Mike and the Mechanic you will love it.
TOTO is probably the most used band for Hollywood movie soundtracks.
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.
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
Once again, like other videos, this is a video set to the studio recording. And once again, we have reactors talking over the guitar solos.
Another great fighting for love rock song, is Jane by Jefferson Starship
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 enjoyed Don’s reaction here. He knows the song and is having fun revisiting it. Like us all who love it!!!!!
These guys should be in the RRHOF for 1000 different reasons, yet not even a hint of ever even being nominated. 🙈
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.
I miss the days we had great rock music but you could actually understand what they were singing!❤❤❤
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.....
All stars of music period.... Awesome live too not just a great studio band. Underrated by the public. Admired by the players.
99, Rosanna, I’ll be over you, Georgy Porgy, I won’t hold you back, Lea, Pamela, I’ll supply the love, Africa; all fabulous songs by Toto.
Love ToTo. You've probably heard them more than you think. Research them. You'll be impressed!🙂✌️
Rosanna! That's the song you NEEEEEEED to do! The groove!
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.
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
Before Pro Tools and Auto-tune they had PROS and TOTO were just that, PROS. From voice to tape to vinyl.
If you liked that song, you should check out "I'll Be Over You" by Toto feat Michael McDonald.
Serious panty dropping music.
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
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’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.
This is one of MANY reasons why us older folks don't like the music of today.
Pure late 70s/ early 80s With the Mork and Mindy rainbow suspenders
We had the best music....
I love the opening to your vids, Boys Are Back in Town.Thin Lizzy. I would like to suggest a few songs.
1. Eagles. Seven Bridges Road. Almost all a cappella. The voicr harmony I think is the best I've ever heard.
2. Willie Nelson. Seven Spanish Angels. Wow what a powerful story/song.
3. Jonny Horton. Battle of New Orleans. So catchy tune, almost sung like early rap. Kind of story telling of British invasion back in the 1700s.
There was the first song I heard from Toto and it blew my mind '70s music '80s music baby boomers music
Tip of an iceberg... there is so much more of these guys and they are still out there.
Americans!!!
If you love music, you have to read up on the members of this band. Perhaps the best group of musicians ever put together in a single rock band. Lukather, the Porcaro brothers, Hungate, Kimball and Paich are amazing musicians. Check out the list of recordings they are on. It's incredible....
Your double head bopping was very Roxbury at times lol...great reaction!
To-to means all encompassing in Latin. Since they played with so many other bands and had so many different skills they named themselves To-to.
Even though you are only about 20 years younger than me, it's fun to watch you really get into the music I grew up on. Great job! A couple more songs to check out would be Georgy Porgy: ruclips.net/video/EWIgEtkE3GA/видео.html
and Rosanna: ruclips.net/video/qmOLtTGvsbM/видео.html
Have you checked out Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son: ruclips.net/video/P5ZJui3aPoQ/видео.html
Guilty pleasure sums TOTO perfectly. This came out when I was in high school and we all loved it. Afterwards I started to dig hard rock and metal and friends would look at you strange for turning it up or singing along. TOTO ended up being grouped with REO, Journey, STYX and even Foreigner for bands to avoid when with friends. Not fair to them, but that happens with conformity.
Hey bro! I don’t know what the meaning sampled is used in music. I know what a cover is? I sampling another word for ripping off another artist hard work? I am just asking. Does the original artist get royalties from the sampling? I am just curious. Is t sampling no different than plagiarism?
Rolling Stone Magazine listed this song in top 5 for best rock songs of all time. I was 18-20 years old the time this came out. Check out their live concert in paris early nineties. You would love it.
They were ridiculously talented and elite first call studio musicians in the LA music scene back in the day. Steve Lukather the lead guitarist is, if I remember correctly, one of the most recorded guitarists of all time with 3,000 plus recordings and many of those with major artists. You just don't see this kind of talent in modern recorded music anymore IMHO.
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.
Great band. Hold the line is one of my favorite from Toto
I see you guys, and well having my first kid at age 20, and 23, so now my oldest kids are you guys ages, I can’t believe one of your parents didn’t play 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s songs in the houses you grew up in.
My daughter, my oldest will be 45 years old this year, and she listens to all that even now, and even my youngest plays this and he is 22…
10:26 this is the first of the double-kicks. I know, I know. Go to any black church in America and 5 drummers can whip out drum kicks and fills. But this is so tight and right and to wait until almost the end to put them in. Jeff Porcaro is a top 10 of all time drummer.
Glad to hear you acknowledge God's Rainbow❤. Like most Rock songs it had hidden/double meanings. Hold the line/love isn't always in time also tells guys to prolong a certain activity til your girl smiles😊
The forever playlist
