I kinda feel like crying right now, mom is 84 and not for this earth much longer, dad and so many have gone, all those memories and people and times so long ago, all gone though they seemed like they would last forever, but right here right now alive in my heart with this song

My mother first heard this song in 1980 when I played the album on my stereo. She came in dancing and proclaimed it her favorite. She listened to it later in life almost every day streaming it until the day she died. To honor my mother's memory, I play this song before I play anything other when I listen to music.

This song is an absolute masterpiece - a flawless pop symphony. These guys were the cream of the crop - original members such as Steve Lukather, David Paich, and Jeff Porcaro were some of the most sought-after session musicians of their day before they formed a band. IMO, Rosanna was the best American pop song to be released since "Good Vibrations" came out in 1966.

[@izarnet374]

Exactamente, es una obra maestra. Impecable.

[@djstyxxsuriname]

I believe this song is about Roseanna Arquette, the actress.

[@PSICODOZO]

Steve Porcaro was dating Roseanna Arquette at the time David Paich composed the tune. He didn´t have a title for the song and one day went to some place where Steve and Rosseanne were and ,well, the rest is history. Paich himself tells the history in some interview I saw here on the tube. By the way, the girl in red is Cynthia Rhodes, Penny in 1987's Dirty Dancing. Also Patrick Swayze appeared in the video as one of the group of male dancers who back up Cynthia. He is the one wearing a red jacket.@@djstyxxsuriname

My Uncle, David Hungate, is the actual bassist you hear in the recording. When he left Toto after recording TOTO IV, Mike Porcaro took over until a few years before his death in 2015. David actually sold one of his basses to Mike. David was Mike's favorite bass player! After decades of session work with hundreds of artist, David is pretty much retired now living quietly in Tennessee. We chat about once a week and visit about once a year. He is my bass mentor and teacher. :)

Imagine growing up at the beginning of the golden era of music videos and this comes on your television. I would hum this jam while riding my bike, going to see my guys, and fell in love with this groovy tune. Sometimes I get down and want to go back to the 80's, see my family members who have gone on to the next life, have the innocence of youth, and rock out to jams like this all day long.

First of all, not only a great song, but a great band. Toto, as musicians, really had their stuff together, and the product of their work shows just how much effort they put into it. On a different note, at 3:12 the girl in the video makes quite a provocative dance move. All I have to say is that if she did that to me, there BETTER be a 10 chain link fence in between us, or someone is going to wind up pregnant.

I wouldn't in a million years of thought I could get into toto but here I'm am at 35yrs old digging this 😍 I swear the older I get the better my taste in music gets 😎

[@2369drew]

That's exactly what I feel too. The bad music nowadays creates opportunities for the classic to come back out. Right? I mean this kind of masterpiece song can only get better as bad songs come out each year. It just shows u , we should never take for granted real musicians that make real music. Btw the whole song is amazing, but for my the highlight is starting at 2:53 which the keyboard and the trumpets come together while Cynthia rhoades starts to gracefully dance like spinning, and kicking her leg. Then the three guys with the trumpets play, and the keyboard again, so it starts melodic then the mean guitar comes in. That was insane.

4:47 These licks are endorphins for ears. I love Steve's guitar playing. He is my favorite player besides a handful of others but Steve is the best. I am not the only one with that opinion. That outro and that solo are... unmatched. the thing is, Steve came up with a few "next-level" solos like that. great players can cover them, if they are really good and listen to all those little nuances he inserts in his playing. He is the guy Eddie van Halen said, that he is the best player in the world and his favourite. it is not about skill or competition. ABSOLUTELY NOT. it is always about the idea behind it. Steve is the creator. and by the way: braindead speed shredding is advanced beginners' stuff. beginners think, that the faster someone plays, the better. which is 100% wrong. playing the guitar is about the transfer of emotions. there is no other emotion in a braindead speed shredder solo than, 1000 cock roaches running around looking for food.
