Los Angeles, United States (1977 – 2008)

Toto was a Grammy Award winning american rock band that was formed in Los Angeles, California in 1977 by David Paich, Steve Lukather, Bobby Kimball, brothers Jeff Porcaro and Steve Porcaro, and David Hungate. The bandmembers had met in high school and at studio sessions in the 1970s, when they became some of the busiest session musicians in the music business.

Composed entirely of seasoned studio musicians, Toto seemed to come out of nowhere. They did not get known first on the club circuit as nearly all bands do prior to being signed by a label. Their reputations in the studio were enough. For example, Paich, Hungate and Jeff Porcaro wrote songs for and performed on Boz Scaggs’ album Silk Degrees.

Toto released their debut album Toto in October 1978, selling two million copies based on their top ten hit

Hold The Line. The next two albums Hydra and Turn Back had little success, but Toto IV (released in 1982) featured the number one hit

Africa as well as the top ten single

Rosanna. Toto IV went multi-platinum and earned several Grammy Awards including 1983 Album of the Year and Record of the Year (for “Rosanna”).

Their only film work to date was for the 1984 David Lynch science fiction film Dune. In addition to their own score, they also recorded the Prophecy Theme, composed by Brian Eno.

IMHO Africa is very overrated. As for me this song is average.

Geez, "99" is one of those songs that so great, it _hurts_. "Georgy Porgy," too. And "I Will Remember." ... Damn, not a single one on this chart I DON'T love to pieces.
