Toto - Rosanna Reaction | Toto Reaction

[@hackapump]

The solo section on Rosanna is legendary, both the guitar solo and the majestic synth arrangement by Steve Porcaro, both are held up as gold standards. As is the delicious brass arrangement. There are countless musicians who can impress you for days. But what set Toto apart was they were a real band from day one, with guys who wanted to write and play great songs and essentially be The Beatles. I believe that's why they also are some of the most prolific session musicians of all time - they've played on thousands of albums for other artists. Because the job of a session musician wasn't just to nail it in one or two takes, it was to come up with all those tasty hooks and little bits and bobs that turn a good song into an unforgettable hit - on the spot. And that rare talent, which they all have, is evident in the band's music too. By the way, both this song and Africa are from their fourth album, on which they kind of threw in the kitchen sink and went all in, as it was the last chance they were going to get from their label. Luckily it paid off - big time - and they swept the Grammys the next year.

The beat to "Rosanna" is the invention of the late Jeff Porcaro, the original drummer. The synth master is Steve Porcaro. Keyboardist/singer David Paich. The lead singers Steve Lukather and Joseph Williams. Toto's standard of excellence is unsurpassed. I consider everything they've done legendary.🤘😎❤

I was in college when this came out & was dating a girl named Rosanna. Didn't work out but this song always reminds me of great times. If you go back & listen to the original version, it doesn't sound much different 40 years later. Yes they are that good.

[@michaelavery6390]

' Hold the line ' is a good song of theirs, worth a listen 🎶

[@samuelrossmesa1430]

You will also love their "Hold The Line"

[@jasontrebilcock6496]

If you were to listen to "Africa" from the same concert, you'd be introduced into yet another vocalist in the band. Another amazing voice...and I'll leave the discovery for you.

Jeff Porcaro , toto`s drummer was bee gees drummer too in their album living eyes

[@Lee4364]

The Song was written for the actress Rosanna Arquette

[@brewswillis9783]

Not written for her, David P was writing the song and used her name because it fit for the song at the time. Steve Porcaro was dating Rosanna A then and he actually wrote the song Human Nature that was recorded by MJ on the Thriller album.

this band artre all session musicians professional musiciansthey have pkayed on so many records

[@craigwhip]

I'm going to age myself, but, the year this song came out, my family traveled cross country to the world's fair in Knoxville Tennessee, and back then, there was no satellite radio or tv. so, there were breaks in between cities where there was no radio reception, so, every time we came into range of city's radio receptions, this song and Africa were always playing at every city we came to, I got sick of Rosanna and Africa real quick, but, now that I am older, I have come to appreciate them.

Some members of Toto also played on many songs for Michael Jackson's Thriller album.

🙌🙌👏👏👋👋✨✨🌟🌟⭐⭐🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠

[@ronaldelliott4373]

Checkout the entire 35th Anniversary Concert from Poland. Toto, NOT in The Hall of Fame?! That’s some BULLSHIT there. 👈🙄

[@jimilemons7680]

The right move would have been the video when they still had their full vocal range, this performance does justice to their playing but not to their singing - it's a full octave lower in some parts.

[@williamreiser3118]

It's supposed to be have you ever checked out or reacted to hold the line

[@williamreiser3118]

Hey beautiful have you reacted to all the line yet sophomore in high school back in the 1978

[@dvalentino1]

Love your reaction Ola! I recently saw Toto live at the Hollywood Bowl. They are mostly all gray beards now, but boy can they still rock! One of the best concerts that I've seen in a long time. I think the opening song Girl Goodbye was my favorite of the night. Here's a link to my iPhone video of Toto performing Rosanna. ✌❤🔥 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap69f6hmjbCJiacsi=lQR8B9vPWRw1SwBP

[@williamreiser3118]

[@kingvii7250]

No Toto only

[@candicelitrenta8890]

You REALLY should have done original video. That is not the real singer of the song. Live versions mostly are not that good.
