About Toto
Toto was formed in 1976 by guitarists Jeff Porcaro, David Paich (who at the time were also well-known studio musicians with Boz Scaggs) and singer/bassist Bobby Kimball. The group took their name from a Latin word that translates to "all-encompassing" and was determined to explore all styles of music.
In 1981, Toto's third album Turn Back was a flop, but they rebound with their fourth album Isolation which contains two hits, including the title track and Roseanna. The album and tour established them as a brand all over the world.
After a brief break, Toto returns with the album Fahrenheit. The album is a departure from the ballads that were featured on previous albums, and also features some heavy rock. The album was their first to be certified platinum in North America.
In the course of recording the band's fifth album the band loses their manager and are faced with financial difficulties. They decide to change their name and record a new album with an entirely new producer. The lead singer Fergie Frederiksen is let go and replaced by Joseph Williams, son of legendary film composer John Williams and 1950s actress Barbara Ruick. Joseph Williams is a natural frontman, and provides the band with a much-needed boost.
The band released Mindfields in 1999 and embarks on a huge tour around the world. After a few months in Europe they come to Japan where the shows are sold out. After a short hiatus, Toto resumes their recording and release their first live album titled Absolutely Live in 1993. The album features a cover of Weezer’s song Hash Pipe as a response to the band's coverage of Africa on their recent tour. Toto's touring lineup is completed by drummer Lenny Castro, bassist Shannon Forrest and keyboardist Shem von Schroeck.
Music
Toto is an American rock group that achieved their greatest success during the eighties. The band was created by experienced session musicians and has sold more than 40 million albums around the world.
The first album by Toto was the self-titled Toto, released in 1978. It was a huge hit that catapulted the band into international fame. Since then, the group has released fourteen albums that have all been a hit.
Toto composed their first and only movie score in 1984 for the film Dune. It was a massive undertaking that required the entire group to be involved. Kingdom of Desire was another successful album. After a world tour drummer Bobby Kimball left the band and was replaced by drummer Fergie Frederiksen of Le Roux. The band continued their journey with their fifth studio album, Isolation. 스포츠토토 contained a variety of songs that were hits such as "Stranger in Town".
After Isolation, Toto took a break from the spotlight and went on hiatus. This gave the members of the group the chance to pursue their own projects. In 1996, the band returned for a tour and an album. It was the first time that the original members took to the stage together for more than a decade.
The following year, Toto toured together with Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band. This was the last time that all of Toto's original members appeared performing at the same time. After that, the group broke up again. However, Toto reunited in 2010 to benefit the ALS Foundation. It was the first time in over 31 years that all of Toto's original members performed together. The original group was joined by keyboardist Greg Tambu who filled in for Paich, and bassist David Hungate who filled in for Shem von Schroeck.

The band suffered several setbacks throughout their final years, despite their acclaim. In 2002, keyboardist David Paich and drummer Greg Phillinganes were forced to take a medical leave of absence. Drummer Shem von Schroeck took over however the group was not the same without Paich and Phillinganes. In 2008, a string lineup changes and a series of disappointing releases prompted Toto to end their tour for a couple of years. The group returned to touring in 2012 with the release of their album 40 Trips Around the Sun.
