I dunno about mastermind. I used to think so, but after years of deeper education in classical music I can hear a lot of melodies in well known classical pieces that John Williams used to create his many of his most famous score cues. Same for James Horner, and Jerry Goldsmith to an extent.

Toto was a superband not made of superstars but of super studio artists. All of them are true masters of their craft. Steve Lukather, guitar, has been in more than 1,500 records! With all the big artists of the 70s, 8ps, 90s, 00s... Not a bad song. Still, first and foutth albums are, in my modest opinion, the best.

She was married to singer composer Richard Marx for many years. Very talented lady.💃 And Jamel, if the 80's were the olden times, what does that make all of us who also love the music of the 70's and (gasp!) even the 60's?? I guess the word is "old". Heavy sigh.

@wannabetowasabe4 жыл бұрын
If you read into it, the song was not based on Rosanna Arquette at all. The band started the rumor of it being about her as a joke after so many people assumed it was, which even Arquette played along with. David Paich of Toto wrote the song based on many of the women he had known according to what he said. You may also remember that Saturday Night Live comedian Gilda Radner had made the character "Rosanne Rosannadanna" famous prior to this song. Some thought the song had something to do with her, which it did not. The dancer in the video is actually an actress who appeared in "Dirty Dancing" among others. Her name was Cyndi or something.

Music is like a time machine to me. I've grown up with all these songs that are being requested by your subs & patrons from the 1960's on and I've bought my share of records, tapes and discs but it has been YEARS since I've actively listened or sought out any of these songs. It's odd, in a way, to have been influenced so much by Music in general and yet not recall so many of the individual songs in any conscious sense, until I hear them, again, here. It's like when a fragrance takes you back to a place. A taste takes you back to a special meal with friends and/or family. A song, for me, sparks a recall of the person I was and what I was doing - back when that song was playing on the radio. Of course, now people can make their own playlists. I wonder if that means the people of today aren't as "shaped" and united by the common experiences we all had back in the day?

I found your videos today (can you tell?) and I want to thank you. I am so excited right along with you as you watch all the stuff I grew up with. You appreciate the talent and emotions that the music came from, even if you have no idea what it is. I LOVE THAT! The more you listen the more you will see that every genre of music not only borrows from every other genre, but it is built from every other genre. Everyone's music is connected somehow and has the ability to speak to just about everyone. Keep doing what you are doing. xoxo

I was at Peaches Records & Tapes when this released & Toto was hot. MTV PAID for us to have Tulsa Cable put in & have their show playing on our projector screen TV all day. Another tidbit about Patrick Swayze....he had just wrapped up filming The Outsiders in Tulsa, OK. He was in fine form & perfect for this greaser roles! The Pecaro Brothers 3 were at their peak & the Fairness Factor taking two of them from this world got that one ALL WRONG. RIP Jeff & Mike.....two mighty fine musicians. Toto did some in-store appearances for Peaches, wish they had come to our store. Good reaction Jamel~!!!

I'll add to the folks commenting about the half-time shuffle the drummer plays in this tune. This is a beat that many drum teachers use as a lesson, and use as a comparative for other shuffle rhythms. Some folks have said that Purdie invented the half-time shuffle, but this guy perfected it.

@delawarebeachboy4 жыл бұрын
I got this from Wikipedia …. The song was written by David Paich, who has said that the song is based on numerous girls he had known. As a joke, the band members initially played along with the common assumption that the song was based on Rosanna Arquette, who was dating Toto keyboard player Steve Porcaro at the time and coincidentally had the same name.Arquette herself played along with the joke, commenting in an interview that the song was about "my showing up at 4 a.m., bringing them juice and beer at their sessions.

Yeah, sure. When we weren't reading books, papers, journals, or whatever. That "it's all because of smartphones" stuff is nothing but glorifying the past. People just had other things to distract themselves. It's just that all that a lot of different things have moved into a small box.
@wannabetowasabe4 жыл бұрын
I have to agree even though there are those that don't. I was outside taking backpacking trips, running rivers, climbing rocks, etc. Those little screens spoon feed distraction, whereas getting outside made you seek it out and live it. Finding a good book and reading into the wee hours of the night when you had the next day off, learning how to work on your cars, cutting 5 cords of firewood, learning how to remodel your house, fixing your plumbing yourself, participating in service groups, being with your kids and all of it without an electronic device on or nearby. It used to be said about TV, "TV uses a vacuum tube and it sucks your brains out." In other words there is so much life out there, leave those devices behind.

Jeff Porcaro combined a little Bernard Purdie and John Bonham shuffle, made it his own and it carries Rosanna. Just like Purdie did with Home at Last, Babylon Sisters and Bonham with Led Zeppelin's Fool In The Rain. Steve Lukather and Bobby Kimball exchanging vocals in the verse. David Paich's soaring keyboard solo. Lukather pours some kerosene onto the end of the solo. EPIC! There's a reason you know so much from Toto. They were in EVERYTHING. The members of Toto were backing members of some great acts and songs through the 1970's and 80's. Lowdown, Jojo, Lido Shuffle-all by The Boz. The Katy Lied album by Steely Dan. Magic by Olivia Newton-John, even some Michael Jackson tunes from Thriller. Just frigging EPIC! Love watching you enjoy music. You're getting me thru the WuhanFlu Panicdemic.
