Some People Live Their Dreams

Back in 1986 when Michael McDonald's beard was dark, he supplied a little back up vocals for the supergroup Toto on today's hit. "Rosanna" will always be my favorite Toto song, but as far as ballads go this one had a pretty nice run up the Billboard charts including spending some time at #1 on the adult contemporary charts. Here is Toto with Michael McDonald and "I'll Be Over You"...

Today's video has it all - a bad boy band sequestered behind a chain link fence, some greasers strutting their stuff, some big crazy hair and mustaches, and a hot chick swinging her pony tail around in a red dress. The band hadn't quite converted their 70's look to the 80's when this song bounded up the charts peaking at #2 in 1982. It's my favorite song from the band that bears the same name as a poor little dog in a famous movie. It's Toto!

Meet You All the Way

It's West Side Story! No, no, no,... it's one of our favorite 80's groups from L.A. and lead singer Bobby Kimball's mustache in this video is pretty sweet... here is Toto again with "Rosanna"...

We're Not In Kansas Anymore

No, we're not in Kansas. We're going to Africa today! I could go no longer on this 80's blog without this video... I couldn't do it another day! As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti, so too must this blog rise to the occasion! About this video, I'd just like to say I love the keyboard player going with the sweatbands (apparently he wrote this song as well)! Genius! It's Toto with "Africa"...
