Toto IV

Editors’ Notes Toto’s GRAMMY®-winning album shot the band of top session cats into the pop stratosphere, selling a gazillion copies on the strength of massive hits such as the now-classic “Rosanna” and the soft adult pop of “Africa.” There are also FM-styled guitar-keyboard rockers (“Afraid of Love,” “We Made It,” “Lover in the Night”), a jazzy romp (“Waiting for Your Love”), a piano-bar ballad (“I Won’t Hold You Back”), and a soothing, Jacuzzi-worthy ditty (“It’s a Feeling”). The multitextured set is so evenly produced and thoroughly wrought that every nuanced note feels perfectly placed. It’s a remarkable musical feat.
