Toto was a much maligned band (by the critics) but this was a great debut song by them. Never gets old.

My personal favorite by Toto was "99" that was a hit early in 1980. "Africa" in 1982 was perhaps their biggest hit, made more popular recently by the "Stranger Things" TV show.

Terrific band with amazing guitarist and one of the greatest drummers of all time.

They look a bit gay, and DEFINITELY not diverse.

Back when people were thin.

For some reason I don’t see Lukather or Porcaro in either of those pics. Or am I just not recognizing them?

TOTO IV is my favorite album with a tossup between Rosanna and Africa as best song. The sleeper song award goes to I Won’t Hold You Back, expertly analyzed by Rick Beato here:

Toto was actually made up some of the best studio musicians of the time who worked on numerous other recordings. Probably the most famous was their backing of Michael Jackson on his “Thriller” album which is one of the biggest selling albums of all time.

Love me some Toto! Sometimes I just have to hear:

“All I want to do when I wake up in the morning is see your eyes”

Toto had six members on the first album:
Lukather, 2 Poccaros, Hungate, Paich, and Kimball... not the 7 strangers of Chicago you posted above.
