About Toto
Toto was formed in the year 1976 by guitarists Jeff Porcaro, David Paich (who at the time were also acclaimed studio musicians with Boz Scaggs) and bassist/singer Bobby Kimball.

In 1981, Toto’s third album Turn Back was a complete failure however, they bounce back with their fourth release Isolation with two hits, including the title track and Roseanna. The album and tour established them as a brand across the globe.
After a brief hiatus, Toto returns with the album Fahrenheit. It marks a step away from the ballads of previous albums and features some heavy rock. This was their first platinum album in North America.
During the recording process of the fifth album The group loses its manager and faces financial difficulties. They decide to change their name and create a new album with a new producer. The lead singer Fergie Frederiksen leaves the band and is replaced by Joseph Williams, son of legendary film composer John Williams and 1950s actress Barbara Ruick. Joseph Williams is a natural frontman, and gives the band much-needed boost.
