Toto

Description

Few ensembles in the history of recorded music have had a larger imprint on pop culture than Toto. The band took a page from their heroes The Beatles playbook and created a collective that features multiple singers, songwriters, producers and multi-instrumentalists led by guitarist Steve Lukather, keyboardist David Paich and drummer Jeff Porcaro. Totos parade of enduring, evocative singles started with their double platinum eponymous 1978 debut which yielded the well-crafted hits Hold the Line, Ill Supply the Love and Georgy Porgy and earned the group a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. It was obvious right out of the gate that Totos winning combination of superior musicianship, studio skills and innate melodic sensibility was going to be around for some time to come.
