It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from youGonna take some time to do the things we never had
Toto, the band that gave"Africa" life, did not think they had a hit. They nearly left it off the album. Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz asked Steve Lukather, one of Toto's founding members,"Did you say that if 'Africa' is a hit, you'll run down Hollywood Boulevard naked?""Sunday Morning" met up with Lukather and David Paich, another of Toto's founding members, along with longtime singer Joseph Williams – serious musicians who don't take themselves too seriously.
Williams said,"There was always several lead singers in the group. Dave was always singing lead vocals."Lukather interjected:"What are you talking about? We were all high!"But the critics weren't high on them. Lukather recalled,"They said our music sounded like a tangerine leisure suit." These guys are getting the last laugh. With packed shows, 40 million albums sold, and a string of hits spanning decades, Toto may be the coolest"uncool" band in history.It began in Los Angeles, with high school-age pals Paich, Lukather, and brothers Jeff and Steve Porcaro sending demos out to record companies. One of them was watching"The Wizard of Oz" late one night, and Dorothy's dog became a temporary solution … or so they thought.
