Toto- A general session-"ist" type of band formed of good musicians. They are fusion of many styles including straight forward rock, with tinges of prog, and jazz style. Kind of an uneven career. 1st and 5th albums are very very good. But it is the 4th one that this band will be remembered for (IV) That album included Rosanna and Africa. I think the album had sold about 10-15M units. Huge, including Grammies, if memory serves. After Isolation, as far as I am concerned they fell off the musical earth.
An anecdotal item on this band too. In my first job out college, I worked for the State Dept. of Health. Part of my many duties was to inspect Day Cares. One day, I just happened to check this one place in Vinton, Louisiana, and it happened to be Lead Singer Bobby Kimball's mother. She had a Platinum album on the wall, so that was pretty cool to see.
As far as samples, from ToTo, I am going to add one of their biggest hit, and then go with a couple more obscure ones I really liked.

Money made Crooners cool again, and put together a solid base of hits and music. Master of hooks, and great showman. Seeing Ronnie Spector die recently brought back a lot of memories of the Money Man. Here are a couple of my favorites.
My second serious girlfriend was a dead ringer for the lady in this video... Looks and temperment.
