Toto’s music will always take me back to my childhood. It reminds me of being home on Saturday afternoons as an 80s kid helping my Mom clean the entire house while Toto, Billy Joel, and Michael Jackson played on the old Sansui receiver. God I miss them days! I love you, Mom!!
This song is an absolute masterpiece - a flawless pop symphony. These guys were the cream of the crop - original members such as Steve Lukather, David Paich, and Jeff Porcaro were some of the most sought-after session musicians of their day before they formed a band. IMO, Rosanna was the best American pop song to be released since "Good Vibrations" came out in 1966.
Steve Porcaro was dating Roseanna Arquette at the time David Paich composed the tune. He didn´t have a title for the song and one day went to some place where Steve and Rosseanne were and ,well, the rest is history. Paich himself tells the history in some interview I saw here on the tube. By the way, the girl in red is Cynthia Rhodes, Penny in 1987's Dirty Dancing. Also Patrick Swayze appeared in the video as one of the group of male dancers who back up Cynthia. He is the one wearing a red jacket.@@djstyxxsuriname
Are you insinuating that enhancing vocals and other things on computer doesn't take much talent? Because it certainly does. I'm learning music production now and making something that doesn't sound awful in FL studio is a lot harder than you'd think, someone like Skrillex is just as talented as any musician with an instrument imo. A DAW (Studio program) is an instrument to someone like him.
Not only is this song a masterwork of pop songwriting, performed by the highest calibre musicians one could ever hope to find, but the music video is a piece of art as well.
My father passed away in 2021 and this was his favorite band and mine too, God bless the good memories listening to Toto with my old man. I miss you a lot dad
Truly a magnificent song. As far as the video goes, Cynthia Rhodes is breathtakingly beautiful and moves like a wild cat while there's a brief cameo of the late Patrick Swayze as a dancer
Denny II One of my all time favorite songs and I’ve been intently listening to music for 45 of my 50 years! This song truly showcases Toto’s musicianship collectively and individually. What virtuosity, energy, and passion!
@@spartankongcountry6799 I'm old enough to actually admire a beautiful lady, without thinking about getting in her pants. I still am a man, but the music and the girl go hand in hand, no disrespect to anyone!!
@@StephanYourdam I wish I was. I'm the high school class of 2024😢I really wish I could have grown up in the 80s, I can't believe how terrible todays music is, everything was so much better back then😕
For those who don’t recognize her, that’s Cynthia Rhodes (from movies like Dirty Dancing, Flashdance and Staying Alive) dancing in the red dress! This was always one of my top 3 favorite songs by Toto and Cynthia being in the music video is what made it so great! 🌹
When I was a disc jockey on an retro pop station about twenty years ago, we kept this song on a CD as our backup music whenever the computer system would crash. So, every time I hear the song, it reminds me of calling engineering and staring at the phone and the walls waiting for them to come fix our problem, which they took their sweet time doing, like most tech people do.
All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see your eyes Rosanna, Rosanna I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me Rosanna All I wanna do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight Rosanna, Rosanna I didn't know you were looking for more than I could ever be Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna yeah Now she's gone and I have to say Meet you all the way Meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah Meet you all the way Meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah I can see your face still shining through the window on the other side Rosanna, Rosanna I didn't know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad Rosanna All I want to tell you is now you'll never ever have to compromise Rosanna, Rosanna I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna yeah Now she's gone and I have to say Meet you all the way Meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah Meet you all the way Meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna yeah Now she's gone and I have to say Meet you all the way Meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah Meet you all the way Meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah Meet you all the way Meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah Meet you all the way Meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
songs like this make you appreciate the swing beat in rhythm sections the bass and the drums and how the whole band comes together as a collective all the big songs have it
Funny thing is that I loved this song growing up and now I love it even more. The little things that Bobby Kimball does in between the main lyrics really enrich the song. For example, when he says " I never knew that losing you would ever hurt so bad". It's not the lyric itself,it's the way he sings and expresses it that is incredibly moving! This band hit it out of the park with this song!
What a great song, I worked opening a fast food restaurant a little black girl run the front register was named Rose Everyone was sleepy eyed and all of sudden my boss started singing this song over the loud speaker to her , soon the whole restaurant was singing to this cute little black girl , what a great time in 1983 at BoJangles in Florence South Carolina Thanks toto
You don’t need to be a solid musician to recognize that this song is just the best: never aged and you can play it 100 times and always will find something new.
I'm here cos this song is a fucking classic and sadly a highly underrated one. I actually prefer this to Africa which seems to get all the attention, many people probably haven't even heard this song.
Freddy Caruso I’m here because I didn’t pay much attention to band members back in the day - only their songs. Now that I’ve matured in , er, more than one way, lol, I now appreciate all that it took to put together my favorite songs. So, I’m checking out as many of their original videos as I can to view all the different band members who’ve come and gone......
Look into to their history as a session band as well. These guy's played on many others hot tunes. Easily some of the most all around talented musicians for sure.
@@marcusteblano6376 But they were influenced by Steely. Jeff Porcaro played in 3 of their albums and David Paich in 2. Even though the Dan is jazz-rock and Toto more of an arena rock type, they definitely share the taste for high musicianship.

Rosanna Now she's gone and I have to say [Repeat chorus] Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna
That's the only thing the great live performances of this song on YT are missing. That's why I just came back to the studio version today. Just watched some killer live footage from 90 and 91 but really needed to hear Bobby again.
How is it everybody out of the 80s could play their instruments insanely well and all lead singers had pipes! It is insane how amazing the 80s were. The drum beat in this song alone is a such a good shuffle!
Because thru time up thru the 1980s people either vocalized or were musicians. It was a big deal to be either or both. To create melodies and harmonies from one's heart and soul. I guess that became a tall order & l'm not gonna blame technology cause my generation had the first synthesizers and before that electric guitars and basses. Even in the 1980s with the advent of MIDI and sampling---musicians still "played" their instruments. Once non musicians figured that they didn't need to be actual musicians---well ya'll know the rest
Jeff Porcaro is one of the best drummers of all time, but that aside...less studio magic back then, not that things couldn’t be plugged in or touched up but the nature of recording was more demanding of good musicianship
MY FAVORITE SONG!!! I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it! Love the Westside Story feel to it, everything was just perfection in this song!
Dudes, this is a multi-grammy award winning tune. Please give it the respect it deserves and remaster the sound quality. This group of superior musicians deserves a better tribute. Steve, Bobby, David and the Porcaro brothers deserve much better. Come on VEVO do it for them!!!
That was well said. You know this song deserves respect, because it's one of like three Soft Rock songs I genuinely admire, and I hate Soft Rock with a passion.
Oh wow!!! My favorite music is hard rock and heavy metal, but you can't argue with pure talent. I love all different types of music, there are many types of music for many different moods and situations.
william blanc Good choices... And I agree about the moods thing; my hyperactive imagination makes for many of them! BTW, those other two songs are Imagine and Ride Like The Wind.
Yeah, you oughta try tackling that half-time shuffle Jeff Porcaro plays. Holy crap. Six gears: about right. (It's really one pattern, and like 5 different fills).
@@jazzram_ actually it was Louis Johnson,he's dead now...he played bass on thriller also and ALOT of other RnB and rock hits in the late 70's and 80's..look up the Brothers Johnson video Stomp and you can see how he played bass 😉
@@Peanutdenver Not really. She happened to be dating keyboardist steve porcaro. The name just fit. The song was written around the drum pattern and was more of a jam session with lyrics
I listened to Jeff Porcaro's isolated drumming. Awesome groove. Jeff was a very sensitive drummer and it is evident on this track. He knew when to fill a void and not to do so.
The 80's were the best!! I remember hearing this in my mom's Datsun b210 wagon. My father hooked up a great audio system with 10 band equalizer and mom played tge music loud.
Anyone who is not a drummer, look up how to play this. One of the hardest songs ever that people spend years trying learn to play. 💯💯 Andrea Mattia (search for him) is about the only guy I know that got it perfect AND using traditional grip to boot.
I think what is happening is with the coming of RUclips, Tik-Tok, and other social media the record companies are becoming less and less relevant. The market is flooded with so much stuff that most of the real music gets lost in the melee. That and this generation's taste is up their ass. And saying that makes me officially old
Thought this was meh when it came out. Heard in a Whole Paycheck ( Foods) and wow. Here I am. There are some mysteries left in this world. I’ll accept them! 🤷🏻♀️
The female dancer, if this wasn't a music video, would then definitely be on crack or something, to be hyper dancing in dumpy dark alleys in that dress :D
Hey kids, if you didn't know. The drummer name is Jeff Porcaro. He inspired most of drummer nowadays to play 'shuffle' pattern like he did in this song.

It may have the hooks of pop... but it's by far superior to anything we call pop... especially today.

Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad, Rosanna
All I wanna tell you is now you'll never ever have to compromise
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say
[Repeat chorus]
[Instrumental break]
Not quite a year since she went away
Who is it? Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say
[Repeat chorus]
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna
Thank goodness you put the lyrics, now I can sing along 🤗🤗🤗
You Sir...are a Badass....
@@melkormorgoth9022 Yeah! Copying and Pasting is a tough Gig!
@@iamurdad77 If you wernt so shallow Id bother explaining it to you but Ive get better things to do,so do you...like learning...Best Wishes....
Thanks bud!
the intro sounds so familiar. I wonder where have I heard that
I was thinking the same hahaha 😂😂😂
SAME HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
Maybe it a song called Rosanna by Toto..lol
Looks like a Michael Jackson's music. Billie Jean
PH
This one is a song for many generations
Bobby Kimball's vocals on this are frickin' killer.
That's the only thing the great live performances of this song on YT are missing. That's why I just came back to the studio version today. Just watched some killer live footage from 90 and 91 but really needed to hear Bobby again.
Bobby was the man!!
This is such a well done song, it has a lot of different sounds and works all together!
Quite good defined.
Hi ki
Trying to play this on drums is as desperate as my drive for love ❤💔
My mom listens to this music and honestly this is the best music of all the time.
now i can unhear the ph intro at the start of the song after watching the mashup of this song fml
YES! All I can hear now is the mashup version
I know the feel bro
Lol same
I came here because of the mashup version of that with PH intro. Now that PH intro plays in my head every time. 😂😂😂😂
Jeff Porcaro was way ahead of his time
How is it everybody out of the 80s could play their instruments insanely well and all lead singers had pipes! It is insane how amazing the 80s were. The drum beat in this song alone is a such a good shuffle!
ttomato182 cocaine
Because thru time up thru the 1980s people either vocalized or were musicians. It was a big deal to be either or both. To create melodies and harmonies from one's heart and soul. I guess that became a tall order & l'm not gonna blame technology cause my generation had the first synthesizers and before that electric guitars and basses. Even in the 1980s with the advent of MIDI and sampling---musicians still "played" their instruments. Once non musicians figured that they didn't need to be actual musicians---well ya'll know the rest
@@moustafaserry1305 what?
In all honesty, Dave Paich wasn't much of a singer. Yet he always sung a verse or two because he wrote the songs.
Jeff Porcaro is one of the best drummers of all time, but that aside...less studio magic back then, not that things couldn’t be plugged in or touched up but the nature of recording was more demanding of good musicianship
MY FAVORITE SONG!!! I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it! Love the Westside Story feel to it, everything was just perfection in this song!
Dudes, this is a multi-grammy award winning tune. Please give it the respect it deserves and remaster the sound quality. This group of superior musicians deserves a better tribute. Steve, Bobby, David and the Porcaro brothers deserve much better. Come on VEVO do it for them!!!
That was well said. You know this song deserves respect, because it's one of like three Soft Rock songs I genuinely admire, and I hate Soft Rock with a passion.
Oh wow!!! My favorite music is hard rock and heavy metal, but you can't argue with pure talent. I love all different types of music, there are many types of music for many different moods and situations.
william blanc Good choices... And I agree about the moods thing; my hyperactive imagination makes for many of them! BTW, those other two songs are Imagine and Ride Like The Wind.
GOFLuvr Imagine...the philosophical words of a genius..gone to soon.
Sounds very well now,6 years later lol
This song has at least six different gears. Phenomenal.
Yeah, you oughta try tackling that half-time shuffle Jeff Porcaro plays. Holy crap. Six gears: about right. (It's really one pattern, and like 5 different fills).
Bobby Kimball is two of those gears
Apparently Patrick Swayze is a back up dancer in this ? 40 years later i’m just finding this out
Yep. I was today's years old when I found out myself 😂
Me:"Why can't we have quality mainstream music?"
Toto:"Hold my beer..."
haaaaaaaaaaaaa! well said!
LOL, still funny 2 weeks later...
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 Rosanna was apparently rosanna arquette the actor
don’t you mean “Hold the line?”
Because noone has real talent or can play an instrument
Let's all meet here in 10 years time. still listening to TOTO
See you in 2031 my fellow Toto RUclips friend
Woohooo I'll be there!
@@dankershaw8388 yesss😌❤ I love this energy
@@suigeneris7478 see you in 10 years!❤
See you in ten years bro ✌️
This song has a special place in my heart since my mom name is... you guessed it! Rosanna! ❤️ I love you mom! 😊
The bass player is killin it in this
Bass player was George Johnson from the Brothers Johnson 😉
@@glenbrown4441 :O
@@jazzram_ actually it was Louis Johnson,he's dead now...he played bass on thriller also and ALOT of other RnB and rock hits in the late 70's and 80's..look up the Brothers Johnson video Stomp and you can see how he played bass 😉
@@glenbrown4441 o lol
@@glenbrown4441 David Hungate is listed as the bass player on this track.
This song is a masterpiece...listen to all the isolated tracks...and you will KNOW why I said that..
@mary thompson :.Youre referring to Rick Beato's video I suppose
My dad told me this song was written about Rosanna Arquette
@@Peanutdenver Not really. She happened to be dating keyboardist steve porcaro. The name just fit. The song was written around the drum pattern and was more of a jam session with lyrics
@@eagles_sOh cool. Sounded too good to be true. Thanks..
I listened to Jeff Porcaro's isolated drumming. Awesome groove. Jeff was a very sensitive drummer and it is evident on this track. He knew when to fill a void and not to do so.
Almost Dec'2019 and Toto rocks..
Too Bad The Brothers Aren't here with the band anymore,,,, RIP
The 80's were the best!! I remember hearing this in my mom's Datsun b210 wagon. My father hooked up a great audio system with 10 band equalizer and mom played tge music loud.
My neighbors like this song, whether they want to or not
You are my kind of neighbor 🥰
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha
You the Man LoL
I know what you mean
Funny. Haven’t head this since I was a kid. Remember every little musical detail and lick. From when music mattered more than image and looks.
"From when music mattered more than image and looks"
Did you completely forget everything about the 80s?
@@rickygforce4217 you’re right. But music was always more important. Now you have to be a model, stripper or a Disney star to chart 😉
Anyone who is not a drummer, look up how to play this. One of the hardest songs ever that people spend years trying learn to play. 💯💯 Andrea Mattia (search for him) is about the only guy I know that got it perfect AND using traditional grip to boot.
It's called the half time shuffle groove.
Very tough to play but very cool.
Purdie Shuffle!
I've heard the opening drumline quite a few times. Probably a few hundred thousand.
@@MrPhiligan uh....*groove. Grove is a grouping of trees.

Those are some serious bragging rights there.
Thanks I really needed that lmao
Someone's grandma is still looking good
that is Patrick Swayze's wife, he is also in the video.
Nobody:
The first 3 seconds of this song: "What are you doing step bro?"
?
@@eniaronoslen8659 referring to the theme song to a certain hub...
Good one
I fucking knew it lol
listening to this bad ass music bro.
Who is listening to this in 2024
People who hate auto-tune and love talented singer-songwriters, and outstanding musicians!
Absolutely agree!!❤ THIS IS REAL MUS8C!!!❤
I think what is happening is with the coming of RUclips, Tik-Tok, and other social media the record companies are becoming less and less relevant. The market is flooded with so much stuff that most of the real music gets lost in the melee.
That and this generation's taste is up their ass. And saying that makes me officially old
@@seantalmadge6209you saying that makes ME feel old😂
Thought this was meh when it came out. Heard in a Whole Paycheck ( Foods) and wow. Here I am. There are some mysteries left in this world. I’ll accept them! 🤷🏻♀️
when did pedro pascal join Toto? 0:46
😂
JAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJA
Lol
Lol😅
Cynthia Rhodes is absolutely breathtaking in this video.
Word?
John W in your eyes by Peter Gabriel
Thought that was her
yep, was wondering too and looked it up and its in her imdb credits
Is that Patrick swayze with her . Looks a lot like him
The female dancer is Cynthia Rhodes, a dancer/actress in many videos & films. She was married to singer Richard Marx
The female dancer, if this wasn't a music video, would then definitely be on crack or something, to be hyper dancing in dumpy dark alleys in that dress :D
Dirty Dancing?
remmeber her in stayin alove
She also played Penny in "Dirty Dancing."
I care. I like trivia.
2023 e essa banda continua fantástica!
Rosanna marked a golden era of using synthesizers to add color and variety to rock/pop music. Kudos to David Paich.
How anyone could give this a thumbs down, is beyond me.
They're idiots
Millennials; goddam Millennials..........
Hey kids, if you didn't know. The drummer name is Jeff Porcaro. He inspired most of drummer nowadays to play 'shuffle' pattern like he did in this song.
U mean, the legendary Purdie? The one who influenced everyone with his Purdie Shuffle?
@@mikhailfarrugia4479 Actually it was Purdie and John Bonham to be correct for the inspiration.
Yeah Purdie and Bonham invent this. Porcaro make it popular in this epic song.
JP was a genius , could carry a song with his drums skills alone... He was an institution himself... Gone too soon
Still great after all these years
Odee Dillon iuihjgp
it is..! i always listen this kind of greatest.!
If it was great before why would it just stop being great
This song bring back so many memories.. It hurts !!
PJ Neslo
Sooooo true!
I feel you.
Época de músicos talentosos, pessoas criativas ,bem ao contrário de hoje
...
Os músicos de épocas anteriores tinham formação musical, eles estudavam música , esse é no motivo de tantas músicas bem feitas , a maioria das letras e melodias eram bem compostas !
@@wilsongilbertojuventinodas8253 Minha mãe ,e eu assistíamos o Raúl Gil ,quando ia calouros melhor que profissionais ,hoje o cara fala meia dúzia de palavrões e cantor !
Triste.
Was surprised to see this gem in The Boys, I've always been a massive Toto fan, so that surprised me more than anything else...
Holy shit, is this the best quality you have, VEVO? Did you download this off Napster in 1999?
Napster had better quality songs than this.
This was recorded with a toaster back then I doubt they have a digitally remastered version.
Outrageous! Nice way to destroy Toto.
lmfao deadass
Presented in glorious.... MONO for your listening pleasure!
Que vontade de entrar no túnel do Tempo e voltar a sair como eu saia só pra curtir essas pérolas... essa banda é um clássico e essa música é perfeita ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Happybirthdaytoroseann
Amo essa música e nem sou dessa década.
Eu amo essa música o que o Baterista Jeff Porcaro fez nessa música é incrível!!!
Ça
É verdade, me leva junto com tigo ❤
3 Porcaro brothers,Lukather,Paich,Bobby Kimball and the rest.What Talent!! One of Best Songs of all time!!!!!
I Think David Hungate was on recording not video, He is a Tremendous bass player
空耳アワーでこの曲を知ったけれど、普通に神曲だと思う!

I hated this song as a kid now it’s a great song. Vocals are amazing a Luke’s guitar playing is awesome
In my bedroom with my hairbrush singing into it those were the days stress free young and loving life
God bless the 80s
@Eric Blom stranger danger
Who here after the boys
Porcaro's half-time shuffle is undefeated.
Yoyoka does it better
@@marknewbold2583 no, his little cousin Neppetiz is way better... But Porcaro is best!
Bonham and Purdy
Jeff even admits to stealing it.
the dude which drummed Dave Mason to fame has shown better along the way . . . . .but yeah . . .took a long time for Jeff to earn a peer - so to speak .. . . . .and that guy is insanely good.
