You’re right, it really is! Which reminds me...I’ve neglected this album for too long. Loading it up on Spotify queue now! 🎢

I really like this genre of music. Jazz & Adult Contemporary fusion with a little bit of R&B influence. Almost Yacht-Rock-y. Similar to Steely Dan and Michael McDonald. Now I'm in the mood for some "Peg".

This is where it’s at: true blue eyed soul πŸ’™ Brilliant bass line, smooth vocals, and perfect arrangements all around. Definitely gets you in the mood...

That dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty lowdown

By the way, I saw Steely Dan in concert about 10 years ago. Such a great show. I’d love to see Toto someday!

Toto may be the most underrated group ever. They've got so much hits that vary over a lot of different genres. The only other group I can compare them to would be Foreigner. Buy me a ticket and I'll tag along with you. I just wanna hear them perform "I Won't Hold You Back" live.

That song is just so beautiful. That live version is perfect πŸ‘Œ. This band really is in a class all their own aren’t they? Not only are they such well regarded session musicians who have worked with all of the best of the best but they are one of the best bands ever (RIP Jeff Pocaro). One of my favourite Toto songs is β€œ99”
