Me either, when I saw him with Ringo I was shocked, "He's also the Singer!!!!" I read a few interviews with him in Guitar Magazines back in the 80's, I don't think they mentioned he sang, I don't know much about Toto but if they all sing (which it looks like from this video) then he would not be introduced as the Singer, and it was Guitar Magazine interviews, the Singing would not be a topic of conversation back in the Amateur 80's. (There are people here who ask better questions and do better interviews than most "corporate" reporters did back then. The 80's is like a bunch of absent-minded and rushed stoners working in the Media). He looks like a young Dylan here. Mostly the Hair I guess.

Thank you for performing this song on July 14, 2024 in the Netherlands. Love Toto forever ❤

My sister used to say that I was lucky with the 80s, and she got the 90s. It actually was the mid 70s to mid 80s. Our underage years had great music, and depending on where lived, had neighborhood youth group friends and families fun. Like watching the moms have Mary Kay cosmetics and Tupperware lunches, and garden club, and of course helped out with it all. Some much more all out preparations than others. My mom always cooked too much in amounts, and too much leftovers, so she'd tell me to bring over some of the neighborhood guy friends to empty the refrigerator. They loved it, especially if was more exotic foods, like from Spain or The Phillipines, German, Italian, whatever she felt like making. In that neighborhood also had great birthday parties, with live bands, of some local teenage guys and their bands. It wasn't expensive, but unique. My mom wasn't much into my wandering around too much, so she made the social life at our house, but depending on who she trusted of her friends too, for me to go to their house for a while. Especially girlfriends who had brothers. The brothers had to be trustworthy too. There never was any problems at all. I think that was lucky for a long time. Problems around here, they weren't of my inner circles to that extent at all. Took too many years to find out the truth if would have been back then. Still was unexpected. What have in common, European farmers, father's side, of countries that ended up under The Iron Curtain for decades. Red flag, victimhood stories about their families. Maybe under The European Iron Curtain would have come out better than in the USA. Sarcasm. This country doesn't need ungrateful snowflakes wickedness, because ruins it for everyone else in the country and worldwide.

Truly the 70s were the golden age of pop music.

Toto are amongst the best musicians......Everyone of them frequently sought as session players by everybody

My love for TOTO comes from them not try-harding a "look" or "lifestyle" but being these supreme musicians who could do just about anything. They almost look geeky and mainstream next to other contemporary bands but they still deliver high quality sound and musicianship almost five decades later. Almost every one of their songs could have been bangers, their level is so consistent, so you keep listening to the same ten tracks, ten hits and then remember they did so much more and every one is just as good.

I was 14 years old when this song came out. It has been easily 40 years since I've heard it. It sounds even better than I recall. Hello from South Carolina, U.S.A. ✌️🇺🇲

They all could sing and had tons of musicianship, and how damn cute Steve Lukather looked in this video lol, what an amazing band.

Luke was adorable back then still cute. Love Toto.

On replay, over and over. I wasn’t even a teen when this came out. That’s how much I love it - from my best childhood days!

Wow! Three keyboardists, one bass, one drummer, and one simmering guitarist…a rock orchestra.

Bobby Kimball didn't really play keys live, but because he didn't sing lead on this tune, they had to give him something to do for this video.

It's 2024. How are Toto NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...but, Mary J. Blige and A Tribe Called Quest are being inducted this year??? How are they remotely "rock" music?

Toto is one of my favourite bands ever!

There is always this element of mystery within the music Toto wrote and performed. Not many bands touch that part of me

This era in Music was amazing.

Piano movement and introduction. A steady groove and back beat. Taste full bridge and transition to a peacefull resolution. Haunting melody. What is there not to like about this song.

These guys contributed notable works to the world through music. Can't be forgotten. Godspeed Toto! 👍

1,979 was an excellent year for music and entertainment, I'm 19 years old and obviously I wasn't alive at the time but the statistics speak for themselves, this song being one of them.

Esta cancion es una Obra de Arte...🤩🤩 como todo lo que hace TOTO Legendaria banda con musicos tan espectaculares y talentosos..Lo Maximo del Rock.💜..Graciassss Hasta mi ultimo suspiro TOTO♥️🔥🙏🏼🇦🇷🇦🇷

The fact that they aren't is staggering. I had a college professor - granted he was a bit of a character - but he said that at the time Africa was released, it was the finest quality audio engineering ever up until that time. He was not scared of making claim of that magnitude, but the feel of their work seems to back it up pretty substantially!

October 1, 2023. I dedicate this song to President Jimmy Carter on his birthday. I didn't think he was going to make it to this day. Hard to believe he was in office when this song was released some 44 years ago.

I love this song. I'm a golfer, I had a set of Kenneth Smith golf clubs and the sand wedge had the number 99 on it. When I was away from the cart and my friend ask me what club I needed, I'd say 99, and we'd sing this song on the golf course, luv it.

Best hockey song ever written! So many memories driving through Edmonton and blasting this song as Gretzky was reeling in Stanley Cups!

Lol! Okay thanks for this comment because for some stupid reason this beautiful song just popped into my head (I'm 53 so I remember it well on my teens) - and I never really gave it much thought as to what the 99 actually meant, but super oddly enough I lived in Edmonton when the song came out as a kid and I never really connected the two. And I would put lots and lots of money on it that the song wasn't written for Gretzky! 😆. So can somebody please tell me what 99 is supposed to mean in this song? Was it like Prince?! (1999)??

at least that was the word when I was a kid and this song first came out. But I just read that David Paich has stated it was based on George Lucas' sci-fi film "THX 1138", and you can see from the music video that they indeed took influences visually from that film. However, "99" is not really mentioned in the film, and the characters' numeric names are all much higher than 99.... so there's still some speculation that there was still some small influence as well from the Agent 99 character played by Barbara Feldon in the TV series.

A whole lotta bands should be in the "hall of Fame"

Oh man the memories! It's true, we always love we the music we grow up and fall in love to! Im 59 still love this!

The pianist did a wonderful job on this song

Great song! I got married in 1999. Sadly my husband passed away. I use to think they were saying the name Naughtya in this song, instead of 99.

These guys can do any style of song , with any kind of instrumentation and any genre. AND they do it at such a high level of skill. They are superb musicians.
