Day 398: I won’t hold you back, Toto

Time to change from yesterday’s heavy rock guitar of Jimi Hendrix to this pretty little number from Toto. This song was on their Toto IV album which had their two classic hits Rosanna and Africa. However, I think this song was also one of the best songs on this album. Unfortunately the live version I have cited here is not quite as good as the studio version as the high notes of the song are now a bit out of Bobby Kimball’s vocal range so he really sings it on his vocal chords.

This song came out in my teenage years around the same time as the Rock movie theme tune, Eye of the Tiger. I mentioned in that post about a camp I attended where we stayed up all night watching Rocky movies. This song also figures heavily in this pleasant teenage memory as many of the campers had this song playing on their walkmans.
