Been trying to figure out WHY this song is so perfect. Is it the melancholic vibe? The groove, the interesting chord progression? The vocal performance? The engineering? The guitar solo? The arrangement? The lyrics? I think the fact that those are all contenders is what makes it so good. Every aspect is spot on.

its a perfectly executed and perfectly written song by the masters who played on all your favorite songs of the 70's and 80's. I think the real cherry on top though is that crescendo that happens at the end of the first chorus and the end of the song with that perfectly executed bass drum that you NEED to hear.

Eric Ben'et did a version in 1999, with Faith Evans on the chorus. Almost 20yrs after the original. His was a little more RnB with a heavier bass kick. More house party vibe. I like both the original and the remake. That piano in the original is killer though. We have to steer the younger generation toward old school music. So they know that a lot of today's artists sample from the classics. My kids range in age from 25 to 12. I expose them to the classics, 60's, 70's, 80's on through the 90's.

Steve's voice is one of my favourites out of all their voices, I think it is because the first time I heard Toto, he was singing and when `I hear his voice it is Toto, the distinction in his voice is very subtle but suits this song perfectly.

I was living in Charlotte, NC in 1979, seven hours away from my birthplace of Montgomery, AL by interstate. I was a jewelry manager for Service Merchandise. I'd become accustomed to falling asleep listening to a local radio station on really great headphones. After several hours, I woke around 1:30 am when this song came on. It ABSOLUTELY knocked me out of a deep sleep. I listened, and thought "Gino Vanelli has done a song with Cheryl Lynn!" I was half right. Bought the album the very next day. Still one of my all time favorites!

I can answer that question for you. Nobody actually listens to what's played on the radio. Everybody agrees it sucks. Want an example of a good band thats on the new side? Greta Van Fleet. Want another? Look at Mac DeMarco. Tool is pretty good too, though they're 2000s. Tame Impala is pretty damn good too. Look it up yourself. Don't just say "lol the kids are stupid." Hell, boomers (the "best generation" apparently) raised the newer gens. If anything, they should be better, unless you're saying boomers are a failure and did a shit job at raising their kids.

Where Jeff Porcaro shines is in his masterclass ability to play in service of a song. That's why he wouldn't solo. His tracks , groove and superb feel where all to serve the music. If it was on a Toto song or a MJ track. If it was Steely or the many others gigs he played in the studio. That ability makes him one of the greats.
