Toto - Falling In Between
Most people are aware of Toto’s impressive
history dating back to 1978 with their eponymous debut album, which spawned the hit
'Hold The Line'. But thanks to their fourth album, aptly titled "IV", the Los Angeles based
act enjoyed enormous worldwide success with two hit singles in 'Rosanna' and 'Africa'.
Whereas the former reached number 2 in the American singles chart, 'Africa' hit the top
spot. The album also won the Grammy Award for "Best Album Of The Year" and "Rosanna" won the coveted "Best Record Of The Year" award in 1982.
Despite many set backs and
obstacles they have persevered, welcoming many other musicians to participate,
collaborate, and fill in when it was needed or wanted over the years. Ironically, the band’s
moniker TOTO, a Latin word meaning everyone, in total or all encompassing epitomizes
this philosophy, a fact that has escaped most of the presumptuous critics who wrongly
attributed the name to Dorothy’s dog in the Wizard of Oz.
The nucleus of the band reunified 6 years ago coming full circle with the return of original
lead singer, Bobby Kimball back into the fold with guitarist/vocalist, Steve Lukather,
keyboardist/vocalist David Paich, bassist Mike Porcaro and drummer Simon Phillips.
Never shying away from a great addition to the team in favor of ego, the band welcomed
additional keyboardist/vocalist, Greg Phillinganes (Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Eric
Clapton) into the band.
"From its inception Falling In Between has been a labor of love
and a team effort”, says Steve Lukather.
