dammmmmmmmmm why did Jeffrey Porcaro have to go and die at the age of 38? When I found out I was numb for 3 days. I've never really gotten over it. I loved Toto back then they were very cool.

there's a great live version of this song with african rhythms, and tons of percussion, so good.

I love this song! My favourite from them, and one of many 80's songs that has held up well despite being overplayed.

This used to be real big at AC stations but I haven't heard anyone play it in several years.

Too schmaltzy for my liking, especially the intro/verses.

This and Rosanna are wearing off on me a little. But I'll never get sick of one song I'm surprised no one has mentioned: "99".

A Toto classic. This can be heard in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on Emotion 98.3.

Weezer's cover is #1 on iTunes, and the original is currently #60.

Even before Weezer’s cover I’d noticed the Toto version often sits in the bottom part of the Spotify 200. This song is more popular now than it was in the 90s and 00s.

This is such an enduring classic. I won't be surprised if it's to streaming what Don't Stop Believing was to sales.
