This song is one of those songs that way ahead of its time in terms of talent, style, musicianship, and overall musicality!! For years, the group Toto were in the elite of studio musicians who decided one day to form their own band and truly carved their own niche into the world of music!!

[mrman]

This has been a staple of rock radio forever and it still kicks ass.

45 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. So much talent in that band.

Toto consisted of some of the very best session players in the music business in late 70s the guitar player is phenomenal Steve lukather

[mynameispaul]

These guys were the elite session musicians of that time period. They also played for Michael Jackson's Thriller album and Steely Dan.

Bobby Kimball, Steve Lukather, Jeff Porcaro, David Paich, Mike Porcaro .... TOTO !!!! ONE OF THE MOST BIGGEST BAND IN THE HISTORY.

Toto has an incredible catalog. Their debut album is fire!

[russellsuttles]

My favorite group even though they are studio musicians they are the best at what they do! They are scary good!

[bimini]

They were some of the best musicians of all time in pop, jazz, funk, r&b. They had players who were next level

[AzViking]

I was a fan as a child but took me years to appreciate the sheer talent the group had.

[robertrussell]

They're guitarist is amazing. I remember when this song came out and I couldn't wait to hear it on the radio

[deenam]

One of the first rock songs of the late 70's to have a "new" sound when it came out in 1978 along with "Just What I needed" by The Cars that came out just a few months earlier...Amazing music.

[Reardonsteel]

6:31 Piece for piece, the most talented band on the planet. You are right. Toto is a hard rock band that has legit pop and R&B songs on every album

[metalmark]

Just heard this on my local classic rock radio station. Great song.

[stevedahlberg]

This came out when I was in junior high and I immediately loved it on the radio and rushed out and bought the single and came home and figured the piano part out in 2 or 3 minutes and then I spent the next several weeks annoying my family by banging that piano part, playing the bassline with my left hand, and trying to sing to it which of course is nearly impossible because Mickey Thomas is so damn good. And I would say he definitely has soul to his voice.

You've probably already reacted to it but the hit song Jane by Jefferson Starship features Mickey Thomas on lead vocals and it is another absolute powerhouse in terms of showing off his singing ability. Plus it's a totally rocking song.

He also takes lead on an Elvin Bishop Band song that was a huge hit in its own right, I Fooled Around and Fell in Love. There he really shows you some of his soul.

[quicktastic]

I wore this LP out back when it came out playing it over and over lol. That whole album is great. Still sounds great to me and fun to see someone experience for the first time again.

[switchfoot]

Love that song, been listening to it for decades!

[KevinPierce-pubd]

This is on a lot of top ten rock songs ever. Check out their concert in Paris in the early 1990's great version of this song. The whole concert is good.

[Abri]

This is my favorite Toto song, and it always makes me wonder why they never really let Bobby Kimball loose a little more. He kills it on lead vocals and they still hand it off to other guys so much. Give him free rein on a few of their rock bangers and I think they become a truly iconic band.

[redzonep]

The great Jeff Porcaro on drums..RIP Toto at Montreux live circa 1990, killer.
