Toto IV by Toto (CD, Oct-1990, Columbia USA)

With Jeff Porcaro playing the drums how can you miss. If anyone ever saw this man play they would wonder how he hasn't made it into the Rock Music Hall of Fame just by hiself. He was the most wonderful, melodic, GROOVE
MASTER that ever walked the face of the earth. Jeff Porcaro's GROOVE was what made musical groups like Toto, Boz Scaggs and Steely Dan win Grammy's. His GROOVE...was set apart from any other studio musician in the industry. Today, Jeff's memory lives on in the band he formed named Toto. His unfortunate untimely death in 1992 was our loss...for there will never be another GROOVE MASTER like him to ever grace the stage behind any band again. His magic can be heard in songs like Hold the Line, Rosanna and Africa. Sorry to say that in 2007 Toto does not have the same GROOVE that Jeff created but every guy in this band are wonderful musicians in their own right and should be seen as living legends themselves. The Porcaro Brothers made magical music together along with their master musician Father Joe Porcaro for which credit should be given as well. Jeff...we all miss you and listen to your GROOVE with a heavy heart. Your music is forever burned into these tracks as a significant piece of Rock History. GROOVE MASTER rest in peace!!
