TOTO - GEORGY PORGY REACTION

[@luisalonsoecheverria]

The female vocalist is Cheryl Lynn. She sang the hit disco record "Got To Be Real".

[@jons.105]

Another awesome song (which I believe members of Toto wrote or produced or both!).

[@davidnorman4923]

Written by David paich!

[@luisalonsoecheverria]

@@davidnorman4923 and David Foster

[@ramonalfaro3252]

Thanks for sharing that.

[@clarencewillingham3030]

You are correct

[@Dodgers824]

Everyone is so focused on "Africa" they don't even know the real TOTO. This joint is 🔥🔥🔥

[@davepitts9705]

Correct my friend..noone has a clue..😉

[@cameron_fairchild]

Facts!!

[@Classicjack228]

I'll supply the love ,Rock maker ,that whole album was awesome just listen to the album!

[@inaki9381]

Exactly

[@thefacultyoffunk]

Absolutely, put me off listening to them for years.

[@DarrylSellers]

Cheryl Lynn's vocals in the chorus is what really helps to make this song ROCK the R&B vibe!!! I love the lead vocals and instrumentation...especially the bass is remarkable!

[@jons.105]

One of the smoothest, hottest, silky-smooth and jazzy-cool bands of the '80s.

[@kenperk9854]

70s actually. They carried 70s cool and smoothe all the way into the 2020s!

[@paulettawashington-bq8lf]

This is Toto' in 1979 their very 1st hit they were very young. Cheryl Lynn is the featured singer and this was during the disco era and Georgy Porgy is a nursery rhyme

[@monacaravetta]

They played this on my local disco station in the 70s. Still gives me goosebumps.

[@swimrski]

This song can be on repeat for quite a long time without becoming tiresome.

[@tervatori]

After 44 years TOTO is one of my biggest favorite bands and these songs never get old, amazing talents.

[@teensymom1420]

I absolutely love this song and Cheryl Lynn is the cherry on top.

[@marcoaguilar2394]

FINALLY! Somebody checked out this JAM!!! Thanks.

[@cathybedwell1877]

Proof that TOTO are timeless. And apparently the writer David Paich got the nursery rhyme idea from Steely Dan.

[@jonathansgarden9128]

I heard this for the first time 3 days ago and i'm blown away. Toto has some dang good music

[@Awakesdarkness]

It's Georgy Porgy lol , Toto is a very versatile band they cross over many genres of music pop/rock/r&b/ blues/jazz. It's sad that most people only know them for their handful of hits songs. Thanks Jayy Much love to you

[@THEJAYYSHOW]

Sorry the autocorrect did it and I never noticed thanks for telling me

[@Awakesdarkness]

@@THEJAYYSHOW haha no problem

[@THEJAYYSHOW]

@@Awakesdarkness thank you i loved your picks your last song shows on tuesday after new artist monday

[@Awakesdarkness]

@@THEJAYYSHOW thank you Jayy!! Glad you loved them!! that's ok can't wait until Tuesday

[@psiclone23]

The mid-to-late 70’s were an interesting time musically. The funk was rockin’ and the rock had funk. :-)

[@allistairfrancis8780]

true! Almost everything just sounded good. Rock, pop, disco, Rnb

[@Classicjack228]

Dam man that was nice I couldn't said it any better!

[@nicholastotoro7721]

Even the hard rock… Deep Purple had three albums in that period that emphasized that (Burn, Stormbreaker and Come Taste The Band).

[@vincentfilteau5782]

Toto , Always brings me back. A Good solid band...Good pick!

[@womanonthinice1276]

One of the best songs they did! Love it 70s BABY!!!

[@stigotmarbjelland6819]

This song is just so sweeeeeeeeeet and beautiful!!!

[@tigerwilliams7723]

Love this Toto song...so smooth 👍😎

[@lilpoohbear653]

Steve sang that...one of my faves from my younger years....he's a cutie

[@lilpoohbear653]

pure groove

[@lilpoohbear653]

Cheryl Lynn (it was a nursery rhyme by the way :) Check out her tune "To be real"

[@redzone77p]

Those was some of the top musicians in music, Steve Lukather on guitar, Jeff Porcaro on drums R.I.P., Lenny Castro on congas and David Paich on keys.

[@jacqueline4514]

This song is perfection.

[@rknrlgrl6146]

This made me smile...love to see you enjoying this song :)

[@GooniesNeverSayDie1980]

1991 MC Lyte’s “Poor Georgie” 1999 Eric Benét’s “Georgy Porgy” with Faith

[@LLgirl-nyk]

Yessssssssss

[@Garyskinner2422]

Love both but I think I like the latter best

[@aavv1818]

Singer Cheryl Lynn "To Be Real (her big hit)" did back up vocals. The pianist was given a nursery rhymes book and it opened up to the George Porgy" nursery rhyme (thus the song's inspiration). -San Francisco fan girl (new subbie)

[@kathleenmcbride1050]

This song gives me goosebumps very soulful thanks for sharing

[@Triggerhippie70]

Listen this is the jam! I’m 52 and grew up listening to Toto my 14-year-old daughter knows this song my heart because her mama plays at all the time! This is my jam for real!

[@alx406]

Toto played the music in Cheryl Lynn got to be real

[@krismijares9782]

Thank you so much for reviewing this song -- I am 56 years old, so I HAD THE ALBUM when it came out! Yes, it is Cheryl Lynn singing the "chorus," all by her sweet fabulous self. I wish they had included her in the video, her voice and lines are a naughty take on a nursery rhyme that just add a little more sexy, blue-eyed soul to an already cool song. It is awesome that you notice the great beat/melody, and that voice in the background -- kind of R & B, Jazz, Pop style. LOVE IT! I appreciate how you listen with an open mind. Thank you again Jayy!

[@osvaldobenedictolagossanma4901]

Me gusta esta mujer goza con la música como una pekeña genial canal excelente música bella presentadora saludos desde Concepción chile.

[@JFinSD2]

Ty for doing a reaction to one of the less well known songs.....a hidden gem. Almost every one who reacts to Toto will do Hold the Line, Rosanna , or Africa.

[@Alodrago]

Don't forget "I'll Supply The Love"

[@DarrylSellers]

The song is a great play on the nursery rhyme George Porgy with the theme of the lead singer being a player.

[@eskayh7734]

Eric Benet and Faith Evans recorded an awesome cover of this as well.

[@GooniesNeverSayDie1980]

MC Lyte as well....

[@leemcclements8889]

Great song!

[@Deborahtunes]

This was Toto's very first hit, from 1978. Cheryl Lynn was the female vocals your hearing. But for whatever reason, she wasn't mentioned in the credits. I know others mention her song "Got To Be Real". But she had another r&b hit called "Encore" from late 1983, that was fabulous. If you want to take a listen, the extended live version is better...

[@richardrudar1268]

Toto's first hit was "Hold The Line"

[@Deborahtunes]

@@richardrudar1268 ~ You're right, my bad...

[@moanman1776]

Where was Cheryl??? Heard her blowin' ... but never SAW her. She helped make this joint SOULFUL!!! #CherylLynn #TotoRuled

[@ap7498]

Great reaction and choice!!

[@jrgarciab]

Drinking game: every time Jayy says OK, have a shot.

[@alejandraperez3034]

Great band!!!! 😍

[@LLgirl-nyk]

This was real good smooth music

[@robertbaddeley2140]

This band collectively played on over 5000 albums in their time . They played on every track of Michael Jacksons Thriller album .

[@davidnorman4923]

not every track! Not Billie jean Not Thriller not wanna be starting something or pyt pretty young thing! But a huge contribution to the album for sure!

[@fadguru]

That disco vibe you’re hearing is because this group was the group backing up Boz Scaggs album Silk Degrees. The same guy (Paich) wrote the classic song Lowdown on that album. Big similarities between Georgie Porgie and Lowdown.

[@beachcoconut1208]

the song was from 1978 during disco era with Cheryl Lynn before she became famous

[@denniscarreno5882]

He was 19 when he sang this song

[@porridge_raider]

amazed I cant find a comment saying this already, your intuition was totally correct, it's based on an old english nursery rhyme!

[@williamjavier1653]

Jeff Pocaro Rollin on the back beat , solid bass drum and cymbals....

[@rachelleakers8841]

Cheryl Lynn sings the female, she sang Got to be real

[@massimobusinello7402]

The correct title is Georgy Porgy.... Pls check also I'll be over You by Toto live 35th anniversary in Poland

[@THEJAYYSHOW]

Sorry the autocorrect did it and I never noticed thanks for telling me

[@massimobusinello7402]

Another could be Falling in Between

[@dirtymikeandtheboyz2570]

Toto is slept on. People don't know real Toto!!!

[@djaynorequest]

You gotta check out the Eric Benet version.

[@GonRogue-85]

That one was good. Benet's vocals are sublime. In terms of production and authenticity this version is better. Imo.

[@davepitts9705]

Yes..roller skated to this

[@zappagorewaikato1009]

Folk talk "underrated" like it's everywhere. But for real ladies & gents, Mr Steve Goddam Lukather. Ye gods \m/

[@melande-ru7ro]

I heard this song for the first time in 1979,great memories

[@Nastyfinger1444]

My favorite Toto tune.

[@BrotherApexx]

Many of the musicians from Toto played on Michael Jackson's Thriller

[@user-DJDreamworld]

Congrats on the 35k

[@thomashesson7058]

He’s not the player being described in this song….SHE is…”I’m not the only one that holds…I never ever should have told you you’re my only one….”

[@anunalori]

Gordy Prorgy was a kids nursery rhyme

[@PapaEli-pz8ff]

I remember my sister's and their friends singing that way back in the day.. maybe the early 1960's. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾

[@davidwenn4843]

That's Cheryl Lynn on background vocals. Got to Be Real Encore

[@pitoraaijmaakers9733]

Toto in a little while, or king of the world!

[@mariakelly1059]

The great Lenny Castro on percussion, ladies and gentlemen!

[@francescahuckaby1080]

My favorite song 🎵

[@felixnorman9562]

Wow, what a bomb! Please do your preparation before going on the air!

[@doointhedoo]

Actually "Georgy Porgy" was a nursery rhyme from 1841.

[@brendawoodson3230]

They did it all

[@thomassanfrancisco5850]

A song to dance to.

[@kympridham8267]

Luv toto try st george and the dragon or hydra

[@Triggerhippie70]

You may not know this but he was about 21/22 when he sang this song

[@javiermella1598]

Please react to "till the end" of Toto! you'll enjoy it :)

[@TheRealBozz]

That player IS a playa.

[@karellwilliams831]

I like Steve Lukather's hair 🤩

[@derp8575]

We had it so good back in the day and didn't even know it. 😭

[@bowieupland6112]

Amazing.

[@keithcoleman9184]

The female back up was Cheryl Lynn who had a hit got to be real

[@alesank1621]

extraordinary

[@alexchrome9560]

Reacts to David lee roth - big trouble, that guitar solo it's so good!

[@TonneEsthetics]

This song was remade by Eric Bennett and Faith Evans. Give it a listen.

[@taigor74]

Hold the Line is a more rocking tune...or Africa

[@craigedwards2940]

You can tell it was older by Lukes braces. 🙂

[@covering-some-things]

Gorgy Porgy

[@deborahvannbah5431]

Cheryl Lynn female vocals

[@sachabois1744]
