This was one of Toto's slightly lesser hits (but only slightly) following their megahits with Toto IV, and a change in the lineup on most lead vocals, but it was strong enough to be the lead single from their "Fahrenheit" album. I loved the song immediately and covered it literally within weeks of it coming out - at a club in Dallas, TX where several hundred people heard me. This would have been in 1986.
Fast forward to 2023, and a friend who was local back then (has since moved away) posts the song on my Facebook page and tells me that they heard me sing it - way back when - and that it left a lifetime mark on them, and has special meaning. That may be one of the most wonderful compliments that I've ever received in my life. I think every singer hopes for a real moment to have that kind of impact or an impression in someone's memory, and it really warmed my heart.
So I decided to record it and did that tonight. There will probably be a video following soon, but not immediately as I'm still in the catch-up stage on some other projects. I hope you enjoy this!
