A group of Los Angeles-based studio musicians (including guitarist Steve Lukather, keyboardist David Paich, and the Porcaro brothers) who had a pretty lengthy career of hits on their own as a group. Their commercial peak was 1982's "TOTO IV", which won a lot of Grammy awards, including Album Of The Year. For most people who come to this website, this group is best known for: "Georgy Porgy", recently covered by 3D and Eric Benet and sampled by MC Lyte on her track, "Poor Georgie"; the more percussive radio smash, "Africa"; and "I Won't Hold You Back", a ballad that Roger Sanchez used for his worldwide hit, "Another Chance".
After Steve Lukather decided to leave Toto in order to concentrate on his solo career the band is defunct as of mid 2008.
