"I bless the rains down in Africa." Nobody knows the meaning of that line, and yet it's the whole, immortal song.

Still listening in 2024. This is a great version of a great song!

Grandissimi. Ricordi di una gioventù che oggi non esiste più sicuramente non per me. Ho passato un adolescenza bellissima. Gli anni passano ma ascoltando questa canzone rivivo il mio passato come fosse presente. È proprio vero la musica è un vero toccasana per affrontate la vita anche se piena d'ostacoli. Un saluto da Billy68. Grandi.

Baaadass song from the 80's...I always liked it...one of my favorites ALWAYS!!

my five year old son put me onto this song, the little legend he is

the reason Toto IV was album of the year !!

What a mesmerizing performance, all this talent, the harmonies, the energy . . . incredibly uplifting.

As it was in 1982, so it is in 2023. I still listen with the same pleasure

I remember this song from when i was a kid. I think nobody knew the lyrics are " i bless the rains". Great song

I have a DVD of Toto Live in Amsterdam which my greatniece (5) and her brother (6) like to listen to. So Toto has some new young fans still.

That song and the song Rosanna always my favorites

Toto is the best band on earth ! These guys inspired millions of musicians worldwide and still do. This version is very musical. The original drum loop played by Jeff Porcaro is here, Steve Porcaro adds his magic thing, David Paich is brilliant, Steve Lukather amazing. Nathan East adds his own personality, playing bass variations in a very musical and modern way. Simon Phillips is very precise and adds his own fusion thing too. All singers amazing , very accurate, Joseph Williams adds his special vibe.... What a music lesson ! Best song ever.

Tremendo clasico musical de TOTO, desde 1983; y seguimos disfrutandolo😊😊

Oh, what a wonderful band

Listening today at the age of 46.. loved these guys from the start.. mother use to play me these when young

This is what real musicianship looks like! Wow! Great songwriting, great interaction and counterpoints between musicians on stage, and real craft and ability in mastery of their instruments and interplay with each other. Just amazing! It is also extraordinary to remember that this level of musical excellence was what was broadly popular with the youth of the day, back in the 80s. Clearly this band and it's musical catalog has stood the test of time - and then some! There is nothing remotely as good as this, that is broadly popular with the youth of 2019. Also the music business is just a different animal today - and not for the better, I might add. I am 53, so I lived it, back in the 80s. I was there! For anyone who was between ages 15 and 30 during the 60s/70s/80s or 90s, never forget that you came of age during the GOLDEN ERA of the music business, when the craft of music mattered. You were there! No one, can take that away from you. Period! In closing, former drummer/songwriter Jeff Pocaro (RIP) would be very proud of his band mates, regarding how they have kept the musical flame alive after all these years. Just extraordinary! Enjoy! Cheers, Sam.

I was never into music much as a kid. It just didn't interest me back then other then to have something playing in the background. Now that I'm in my mid 50s I'm drawn back to this and other bands/singers of that time. Great music, great musicians. I'm sure kids of today won't be coming back to the crap music of today when they reach 55. Music today can't hold a candle to this.
