Originally a group of Los Angeles based studio musicians, Toto had a lengthy career of hits in their own right. Their commercial peak was 1982's TOTO IV, which won several Grammy awards, including Album Of The Year. Toto is best known for their hits "Africa," "Hold The Line", "Rosanna", "Georgy Porgy" (covered by 3D and Eric Benet and sampled by MC Lyte on her track, "Poor Georgie"), and "I Won't Hold You Back" the last of which 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 became officially defunct as of mid-2008. However, they reformed in 2010 allegedly for a short series of concerts only to support their former bassist Mike Porcaro who had been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Despite this setback, the band continues to tour.
In October 2020, Lukather and Joseph Williams announced a renewed lineup and plans for a tour.

It's great to have Bobby Kimball back in the lineup after a 17 year absence. He has a little more grit in his voice and a bit more passion in his singing than the singers who were in the band after Toto IV. Kimball is backed by guitarist Steve Lukather, keyboardists David Paich and Steve Porcaro, bassist Mike Porcaro and Simon Phillips on the drums. Mindfield is with most of the songs running over 5 minutes involving multiple genres from pop-rock to world music to jazz-fusion, to blues-rock. Mindfields is an album of instrumental and vocal virtuosity, which brought the band Toto from the juvenile path of video clips in the eighties to the highway of adult arena rock from today.
