It's Georgy Porgy lol , Toto is a very versatile band they cross over many genres of music pop/rock/r&b/ blues/jazz. It's sad that most people only know them for their handful of hits songs. Thanks Jayy Much love to you
This is Toto' in 1979 their very 1st hit they were very young. Cheryl Lynn is the featured singer and this was during the disco era and Georgy Porgy is a nursery rhyme
Singer Cheryl Lynn "To Be Real (her big hit)" did back up vocals. The pianist was given a nursery rhymes book and it opened up to the George Porgy" nursery rhyme (thus the song's inspiration). -San Francisco fan girl (new subbie)
The background singer was Cheryl lynn and she's a great singer check her out she also sings if this world was mine. I love this song I remember georgie porgie from back in the days.
Thank you so much for reviewing this song -- I am 56 years old, so I HAD THE ALBUM when it came out! Yes, it is Cheryl Lynn singing the "chorus," all by her sweet fabulous self. I wish they had included her in the video, her voice and lines are a naughty take on a nursery rhyme that just add a little more sexy, blue-eyed soul to an already cool song. It is awesome that you notice the great beat/melody, and that voice in the background -- kind of R & B, Jazz, Pop style. LOVE IT! I appreciate how you listen with an open mind. Thank you again Jayy!
Ty for doing a reaction to one of the less well known songs.....a hidden gem. Almost every one who reacts to Toto will do Hold the Line, Rosanna , or Africa.
not every track! Not Billie jean Not Thriller not wanna be starting something or pyt pretty young thing! But a huge contribution to the album for sure!
Listen this is the jam! I’m 52 and grew up listening to Toto my 14-year-old daughter knows this song my heart because her mama plays at all the time! This is my jam for real!
That disco vibe you’re hearing is because this group was the group backing up Boz Scaggs album Silk Degrees. The same guy (Paich) wrote the classic song Lowdown on that album. Big similarities between Georgie Porgie and Lowdown.
This was Toto's very first hit, from 1978. Cheryl Lynn was the female vocals your hearing. But for whatever reason, she wasn't mentioned in the credits. I know others mention her song "Got To Be Real". But she had another r&b hit called "Encore" from late 1983, that was fabulous. If you want to take a listen, the extended live version is better...

Everyone is so focused on "Africa" they don't even know the real TOTO. This joint is 🔥🔥🔥
Correct my friend..noone has a clue..😉
Facts!!
I'll supply the love ,Rock maker ,that whole album was awesome just listen to the album!
Exactly
Absolutely, put me off listening to them for years.
The female vocalist is Cheryl Lynn. She sang the hit disco record "Got To Be Real".
Another awesome song (which I believe members of Toto wrote or produced or both!).
Written by David paich!
@@davidnorman4923 and David Foster
Thanks for sharing that.
You are correct
One of the smoothest, hottest, silky-smooth and jazzy-cool bands of the '80s.
70s actually. They carried 70s cool and smoothe all the way into the 2020s!
This song can be on repeat for quite a long time without becoming tiresome.
They played this on my local disco station in the 70s. Still gives me goosebumps.
Proof that TOTO are timeless. And apparently the writer David Paich got the nursery rhyme idea from Steely Dan.
I absolutely love this song and Cheryl Lynn is the cherry on top.
After 44 years TOTO is one of my biggest favorite bands and these songs never get old, amazing talents.
The mid-to-late 70’s were an interesting time musically. The funk was rockin’ and the rock had funk. :-)
true! Almost everything just sounded good. Rock, pop, disco, Rnb
Dam man that was nice I couldn't said it any better!
Even the hard rock… Deep Purple had three albums in that period that emphasized that (Burn, Stormbreaker and Come Taste The Band).
FINALLY! Somebody checked out this JAM!!! Thanks.

Toto , Always brings me back. A Good solid band...Good pick!
1991 MC Lyte’s “Poor Georgie”
1999 Eric Benét’s “Georgy Porgy” with Faith
Yessssssssss
Love both but I think I like the latter best
Steve sang that...one of my faves from my younger years....he's a cutie
pure groove
Cheryl Lynn (it was a nursery rhyme by the way :) Check out her tune "To be real"
Love this Toto song...so smooth 👍😎
This song is perfection.
One of the best songs they did! Love it
70s BABY!!!
Cheryl Lynn's vocals in the chorus is what really helps to make this song ROCK!!! I love the lead vocals and instrumentation...especially the bass!
This is Toto' in 1979 their very 1st hit they were very young. Cheryl Lynn is the featured singer and this was during the disco era and Georgy Porgy is a nursery rhyme
Toto played the music in Cheryl Lynn got to be real
Those was some of the top musicians in music, Steve Lukather on guitar, Jeff Porcaro on drums R.I.P., Lenny Castro on congas and David Paich on keys.
This made me smile...love to see you enjoying this song :)
Eric Benet and Faith Evans recorded an awesome cover of this as well.
MC Lyte as well....
This song is just so sweeeeeeeeeet and beautiful!!!
This song gives me goosebumps very soulful thanks for sharing
Great song!
He was 19 when he sang this song
Singer Cheryl Lynn "To Be Real (her big hit)" did back up vocals. The pianist was given a nursery rhymes book and it opened up to the George Porgy" nursery rhyme (thus the song's inspiration).

The background singer was Cheryl lynn and she's a great singer check her out she also sings if this world was mine.
I love this song I remember georgie porgie from back in the days.
Drinking game: every time Jayy says OK, have a shot.
Toto is slept on. People don't know real Toto!!!
amazed I cant find a comment saying this already, your intuition was totally correct, it's based on an old english nursery rhyme!
You gotta check out the Eric Benet version.
That one was good. Benet's vocals are sublime. In terms of production and authenticity this version is better. Imo.

Don't forget "I'll Supply The Love"
Me gusta esta mujer goza con la música como una pekeña genial canal excelente música bella presentadora saludos desde Concepción chile.
Where was Cheryl??? Heard her blowin' ... but never SAW her. She helped make this joint SOULFUL!!! #CherylLynn #TotoRuled
Cheryl Lynn sings the female, she sang Got to be real
Jeff Pocaro Rollin on the back beat , solid bass drum and cymbals....
This band collectively played on over 5000 albums in their time . They played on every track of Michael Jacksons Thriller album .
not every track! Not Billie jean Not Thriller not wanna be starting something or pyt pretty young thing! But a huge contribution to the album for sure!
Many of the musicians from Toto played on Michael Jackson's Thriller
Listen this is the jam! I’m 52 and grew up listening to Toto my 14-year-old daughter knows this song my heart because her mama plays at all the time! This is my jam for real!
This was real good smooth music
Great reaction and choice!!

My favorite Toto tune.
This was Toto's very first hit, from 1978. Cheryl Lynn was the female vocals your hearing. But for whatever reason, she wasn't mentioned in the credits.

Toto's first hit was "Hold The Line"
@@richardrudar1268 ~ You're right, my bad...
Another could be Falling in Between
Gordy Prorgy was a kids nursery rhyme
I remember my sister's and their friends singing that way back in the day.. maybe the early 1960's. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
That's Cheryl Lynn on background vocals.
Got to Be Real
Encore
You may not know this but he was about 21/22 when he sang this song
The correct title is Georgy Porgy.... Pls check also I'll be over You by Toto live 35th anniversary in Poland
Sorry the autocorrect did it and I never noticed thanks for telling me
Actually "Georgy Porgy" was a nursery rhyme from 1841.
Folk talk "underrated" like it's everywhere. But for real ladies & gents, Mr Steve Goddam Lukather. Ye gods \m/
The female back up was Cheryl Lynn who had a hit got to be real
the song was from 1978 during disco era with Cheryl Lynn before she became famous
That player IS a playa.
Wow, what a bomb! Please do your preparation before going on the air!
I heard this song for the first time in 1979,great memories
Great band!!!! 😍
He’s not the player being described in this song….SHE is…”I’m not the only one that holds…I never ever should have told you you’re my only one….”
Toto in a little while, or king of the world!
I like Steve Lukather's hair 🤩
They did it all
My favorite song 🎵
Congrats on the 35k
Please react to "till the end" of Toto! you'll enjoy it :)
Luv toto try st george and the dragon or hydra
The great Lenny Castro on percussion, ladies and gentlemen!
Yes..roller skated to this
A song to dance to.
extraordinary
You can tell it was older by Lukes braces. 🙂
Very very funky
Gregory no that's Georgie 🙄😆 and Toto and Cheryl Lynn.
Steve Lukather was fine as hell!😜
Another version: th-cam.com/video/-LPqDqa8F64/w-d-xo.html
Hold the Line is a more rocking tune...or Africa
And Mc Lyte sample it
Reacts to David lee roth - big trouble, that guitar solo it's so good!
This song was remade by Eric Bennett and Faith Evans. Give it a listen.
Cheryl Lynn
Georgy…not Gregory 😂😂😂
"Gregory" Porgy? lol Other than that, I like that you like the song 🙂
Oh I apologize for the mistake on my behalf
With love darlin', Its pronounced "Joe Gee"
Gorgy Porgy
Not Gregory Georgie Porgie
CAN YOU SAY GEORGE NOW JUST ADD AN Y AND IT SOUNDS LIKE GEORGEY NOT GREGORY....
Gregory Porgy? Really?
its pronounced George- gee Pour gee..all these Toto songs are 80's music..
This was late 70s - 1979
