Rosanna
Toto Lyrics

@Don.1984

Ah, simpler times, right?

@nickphaux

Are you insinuating that enhancing vocals and other things on computer doesn't take much talent? Because it certainly does. I'm learning music production now and making something that doesn't sound awful in FL studio is a lot harder than you'd think, someone like Skrillex is just as talented as any musician with an instrument imo. A DAW (Studio program) is an instrument to someone like him.

@sunshinefogleman127

She listened to it later in life almost every day streaming it until the day she died. To honor my mother's memory, I play this song before I play anything other when I listen to music. Love you mom.

My Uncle, David Hungate, is the actual bassist you hear in the recording. When he left Toto after recording TOTO IV, Mike Porcaro took over until a few years before his death in 2015. David actually sold one of his basses to Mike. David was Mike's favorite bass player! After decades of session work with hundreds of artist, David is pretty much retired now living quietly in Tennessee. We chat about once a week and visit about once a year. He is my bass mentor and teacher. :)

This song is an absolute masterpiece – a flawless pop symphony. These guys were the cream of the crop – original members such as Steve Lukather, David Paich, and Jeff Porcaro were some of the most sought-after session musicians of their day before they formed a band. IMO, Rosanna was the best American pop song to be released since "Good Vibrations" came out in 1966.

@izarnet374

Exactamente, es una obra maestra. Impecable.

@djstyxxsuriname

I believe this song is about Roseanna Arquette, the actress.

@PSICODOZO

Steve Porcaro was dating Roseanna Arquette at the time David Paich composed the tune. He didn´t have a title for the song and one day went to some place where Steve and Rosseanne were and ,well, the rest is history. Paich himself tells the history in some interview I saw here on the tube.
By the way, the girl in red is Cynthia Rhodes, Penny in 1987's Dirty Dancing. Also Patrick Swayze appeared in the video as one of the group of male dancers who back up Cynthia. He is the one wearing a red jacket.@@djstyxxsuriname

@yebboshwamuel

I don't think a digital remaster is too much to ask for. If you check out the video for Africa by Toto it's clearly been digitally remastered to meet modern-day standards. I think it's awesome that people my age (I was born in the mid-90s) would even be willing to listen to music from the 80s and back, and I don't think it's selfish or spoiled to ask for this awesome music in higher quality so that it becomes that much more awesome.

@yebboshwamuel

Albert Douglas Holy shit, relax. I never asked for anything from you.

The reason I brought up that I'm young is because the original comment was talking about kids complaining about audio quality on old songs, not because I wanted to brag about how I listen to old music or because I thought I was doing someone a favor .

@tinaw.5538

+Stereotypical Mexican Ludicolo Yeah, alberts reply was a bit harsh..but since I said it first, yes, I do think a digital remaster is too much to ask for, purely because though you have good taste in music, I think it's best enjoyed in the original formats it was filmed and recorded in. remember too that MTv was just invented in late 1981, not everybody had cable, and it was a pay channel besides. I really like finding them on the internet so many years later just the way I left them. if nothing else, try to see it as a history lesson of what I had back then versus what you have now.
