Joseph Williams-Running On A Deadline. (hi-tech aor)

[@MarianneSavarese]

I can never get enough of Joseph's voice. Past to present! ❤

[@MultiGuitarDave]

Personally, I think Joseph Williams voice is the best voice for Toto.

[@viantzpradz4771]

I agree

[@superviewer]

Totoally agree 😁 Actually he is the one Toto singer who's register matches mine 😌

[@PickettMusic]

Absolutely...

[@emilianomemelli8470]

Joseph è la miglior voce Toto POP, Bobby Rock

[@jorgerivas8219]

Sin lugar a dudas!!

[@sindylily]

One of my favourite singers! And Toto is my favourite band!💚

[@kbm6113]

This is the best Michael Jackson song MJ never recorded

[@kidwaryodproduction]

Also The System :) The synthesiser pattern was completely suited on them :)

[@kidwaryodproduction]

Joseph voice in early 80s era remind me of Michael Jackson meets Kenny Loggins. But he also have his own style :) By the way. I always think that in early 80s era. He also looks like Paul Hardcastle :)

[@robonez]

Joseph Williams has an amazing voice!

[@viantzpradz4771]

Kenny Loggins + George Michael + Michael Jackson = Joseph Williams...!!!

[@jonartan4754]

Reminds me of freddie mercury too

I can’t get enough of Joseph Williams! He’s such an incredible singer and he’s so versatile.

[@skogling]

Worlds most talented singer. Period.

[@ismailalqaym4071]

My favorite singer

[@TOTOfanKris]

Couldn't agree more. Joseph's voice has something very captivating in it... angel-like tone with that very special edge. I never get tired of listening to his voice! And yes he often sounds a bit like Michael Jackson :-D

[@95062777]

Or maybe Michael Jackson learned some from him 😅

[@Selma.shalimar]

Pas faux...de la note "jacksonienne".. we ❤

[@tomsmith5202]

Joe’s options are pretty limited on Spotify for his early career. He really should put together a compilation from this period at least! Unless it’s because of copyright and material ownership he hasn’t, which would be a real shame.

[@m2bd917]

This song gets stuck in my head these days. The sound of synth, the beat, and his powerful voice. It's awesome in every way.

[@pilotmike7569]

Couldn't agree more!

[@aorcloud3199]

Michael Landau on guitar, that's the " Michael" you hear !!!

[@milagrosmondragon2739]

I love this Joseph Williams!!!

[@1thaleb]

Beautiful voice - really great singer. I just discovered him in Toto and this is, for me, a huge mistake to have waited 35 years! Just stunning.

[@mariateresalefosse7810]

Same here...

[@vladcam4]

...this solo work of Joseph Williams sounds like early 1984 / 85 that also would fit in a great movie, tv-series soundtracks in those days like Beverly Hills Cop, Miami Vice, Top Gun and such. Its unfortun that the album of Joseph Williams wich contained songs like "One More Chance" , "Everything You Say" and this one wouldn't be released at the height of AOR music thus in the early to mid eigthies...?

[@lucasaguiar4142]

0:58 That's incredible how he sounds as Michael Jackson!!!!!

[@brightroom86]

Amazing song! I have always loved Joseph's voice.

[@rachardmcintyre6560]

I know that composer John Williams is very proud of his son!!!!!

[@Primordilian]

Actually he does not care at all what his son is doing i know for the fact

[@Longjohnsilver180]

He never went to see a Toto concert!

[@musicalmelodies3595]

It's rumoured Michael also recorded a Demo to this in early 85 for his BAD Album that was suppose to be released in summer of 86...but instead Michael was offered the role of Captain Eo by Disney in summer of 1985 and that delayed the development of the BAD Album an extra year and wasn't released till August 1987. Michael's version had the same melody and similar instrumentals as this one (heavier bass) but the demo was called Hardline. The demo is unreleased and is said to be in the MJ Estate vaults

[@nostalgik._]

Great tune. Why has this not become a hit? Absolutly awesome!

[@mysongs1394]

Angel voice

[@sundet81]

The original title for this song was "I'll Get Some This Time". Recorded in 1985.

[@judygmcfin]

Love this guy!

[@ferchw]

I defenitely agree, cutlikear. Some very strange thing about this lost-in-time album. With all this shit that appears now, this album could reach the top on the 90's or even 00´s. Some very sick, your words really express what I always thought about this tunes.

[@mamelukkisakkarassa]

Masterpiece, incredible vocals.

[@newbbietrader9918]

brutal voice....always.

[@tonyfourhunnid]

This cut and "frightened of the dark" are so badass.

[@poppitpop]

He definitely reminds me of some 80s singer but I can't remember who exactly... Maybe Kenny Loggins? No, he definitely reminds me of Christopher Cross.

[@vamseemk]

Kenny a little bit...also Michael Jackson

[@1121ikaros]

I like it !! from japan

[@95062777]

He sounds like Kenny Loggins, Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder all-in-one

[@JRoca79]

lyrics please? this song is amazing

[@Leticia-yb3uq]

Yeah, I can't find it anywhere! 😭

[@fritsfallaux6362]

Now suppose his name would have been Michael in those days.... Oh well, lead singer of Toto ain't a bad career :-)

[@JOHLJER]

GREAT!!!!!!

[@ilovelegos2000]

Sounds like ain't nobody by chaka khan

[@Primordilian]

Sometimes his voice reminds me of late George Michael but with slightly higher pitch

[@bwm5150]

datigurovic yes, I can totally hear that. The first time I heard ‘I Knew You Were Waiting’ with George and Aretha, I thought I was hearing Joe in the verse.

[@kamilamartins4796]

Good voice, good beat but, very 80's!!!

Can anyone confirm what year this was due to be realised in ?

[@evikisorits603]

The white michl Jackson

[@philosopher2king]

Am I the only one who hears "Michael" here?

[@SecretYoungLink007]

I also do hear it, he also sang Human Nature with Toto on tour worth to check out :) Maybe he should do some of his songs.

[@TechNoir87]

philosopher2king They're both Virgos lol

[@shepherdkagl2329]

Human Nature was written by steve Porcaro of Toto and was given to M.J for his Thriller album which also featured most Toto members. It was sung on concert as a tribute to him. An awesome song as well

[@song4mozart]

+Shepherd Kagl This sounds like Human Nature

[@song4mozart]

"Trumprock Middle America" brought me here.

[@OCKNIGHTRIDER]

Same here

[@renejrhodes88]

Hi-tech adult oriented rock? Kind of misses the point of what the music is about don't you think? As far as I can hear, this song uses Drum machines and Synthesizer just like most late 80's Bands including A-Ha, MJ himself, Madonna, Duran Duran, I could go on and on. This is from the 80's man. They did different kind of melodies and sounds back then. You will find this is true for most Areas . Same with Progrock or disco in the 70's, Grunge, Techno and MJ in the 90's.

[@WithoutRemorse12]

It was a subgenre. Some of music production was used in mainstream music. Is like when people early 80s Dance music was just Disco with a new name. There is a difference Disco in it's era was unapologetic . You notice that many artist in the Dance genre have issues going mainstream. Big pop artists can do Dance album or song when it's relevant. It doesn't hurt their career trajectory. Instead they are praised for taking risks and broadening their sound.

[@renejrhodes88]

@@WithoutRemorse12 I see your point, but it doesn't really address my critique. I would argue that understanding how the music was made, give thought to the music of the time this was made and knowing about the production gives a far more complete picture of what the music is all about.
