Toto é uma banda de rock progressivo norte-americana, formada em 1976 em Los Angeles, que cantou clássicos como Rosanna e Africa.
O Toto iniciou-se em Los Angeles em 1978, com a formação: David Paich (teclados e vocal), Steve Lukather (guitarra, vocal), Bobby Kimball (vocal), Steve Porcaro (teclado), David Hungate (baixo) e Jeff Porcaro (bateria). Os Irmãos Porcaro são filhos do percussionista Joe Porcaro. Os outros membros da banda conheceram-se na faculdade e em sessões de estúdio, na década de 70, quando formaram a banda.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
This is a cross between Toto and Howie Day. Great song on acoustic with finger picking and strumming. The verses are Toto and the chorus is Howie Day, I think it just sounds amazing.
