I’m a South African by birth but spent my 20’s and 30’s in London UK. Whenever this song played in clubs or pubs, it made me so homesick! I’m living back in Africa now! Africa gets inside you. There is nothing like the love you have for Africa.
Omgoodness JBLETHAL!! You are so wonderful and your sweet precious Grandma is very wise turning you onto some AWESOME new songs!! Go Grandma!! Your grandson is EXTREMELY special and very loved here!! Let's keep him motivated with some great music suggestions! Great reaction JBLETHAL!!
Ya know what I think, JB? I think that you REALLY love music...especially GOOD music. I truly appreciate you taking the time to listen to music that I'm sure you've never heard, and then giving an honest reaction to it. Thank you, sir.........
He feels every note and I love that he is open to music from generations past. It's beautiful to see young people appreciate something other than themselves :). Seriously, this guys emotions are making ME LOVE MUSIC ALL OVER AGAIN
"Africa" by Toto is the most popular, loved and most requested song even to this day!! I just saw Toto perform it on Oct. 10th in Atlanta on their "40 Trips Around the Sun" concert tour, which they have been doing this tour for over 2 years now and have toured for over 40 years, thus the title of their tour. Sadly, David Paich, who wrote this song is not well & the guys have been touring so long, they are just burnt out and haven't seen their families for 6 months of the year, they have decided to take a hiatus and stop touring; their last concert was in Philly, last night, October 19th. Hopefully they will get some much needed rest and come back again. I sure will miss them!
I just came across 'reaction' videos. I'm like WHY am I caring about reactions? But he draws me in and I love it. Man, I've been downloading albums and albums from iTunes because this guy! I can't wait to get into my car and listen all over again with my windows down, wind in my hair and feeling proud of the music of my generation! Thanks young man. Your emotional response is off the wall!
You're lookin' at the boys who wrote, performed and produced much of "Thriller" for Michael Jackson. Yeah, that's right man. Toto is comprised of absolute top notch musicians.
The keyboardist Steve Porcaro did compose the song "Human Nature". David Paich did arrangements on the album and the other members minus bassist David Hungate played on several tracks both individually and together. :) However the album was produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson. Other composers were Jackson himself, James Ingram and Rod Temperton.
I was 11 (I think) when this song came out. I was walking through our tiny apartment, mom had her radio on in the kitchen - as always - this song came on and I stopped dead in my tracks outside the kitchen door. Man, I live for music. You have a great channel, really really like it, and you. Cheers from Sweden
I absolutely love that last part when it gets quiet, and the keyboards, and.the drums tone down to a low quiet and beat along, its so cool the way they did that, Rosanna is another beautiful one by them, they are awesome, great songwriting great delivery, Peace ✌
Gosh, haven´t heard this in YEARS...it´s still as good as when I went to school and sang along to it..and yes, your Gran does have impeccable taste! Can´t wait to meet her!. Have you discovered classic metal, yet? Iron Maiden is worth a look... Run to the Hills... Hallowed be thy name... Two seconds to midnight....
you and your Grandma on one video, that sounds Epic cant wait luv your Videos they make me rediscover songs from my past, Best wishes and have just subscribed..
The guy singing is also a piano player in the band. Check out the live 35th anniversary show. Quick history of this song. He had an infatuation with the Continent of Africa. He had read books and researched it, but had never been . He wrote the song from the heart , at the time the band was doubtful it would appeal to listeners, but he was persistant, and the rest is history. Love.
If you didn't know already, the members of Toto are all studio musicians that played, wrote/arranged some of the biggest hits of the 70's and 80's. For instance, some of the guys in Toto are all over the "Thriller" album. As a matter of fact, the keyboard player wrote "Human Nature" on the "Thriller" album. Steve Lukather (Guitar) played all of the rhythm guitar on "Beat It"- Eddie Van Halen did the guitar solo.
I have stumbled on to your channel, and have been caught like a fly in a web. You are addictive, I find myself reliving my childhood though music.I am 50 years old and the 80s were my stomping grounds. Watching you react to the music I for got about knights my passion for music again. I seen a couple of other's doing these video's, but they weren't genuine about there craft. I enjoy what your doing and I will support you. I am subscribed!
JB, A related story. When I bought a new 1982 Ford, it came with a "disc" with some songs to showcase the speaker system. This Toto song, Out of Africa, was on that disc. JB, I LOVED that song then, and still do at 80 yrs of age! :) I played that song, over and over and over - couldn't get enough of, as you say, "those notes." :) Your Grandma knows great music when she hears it - she and I both still love this song. Great web site JB - I'm tunin' in to hear what you say. You ARE "the music man" - I can see it in your reaction. I still "react" to this music 38 years later. Peace to you, my brother.
Just think, all the old, stinky britches granpas and grammas lived and loved to this kind of music. How blessed we were to have been young back then. Class of '75.
Toto were true musicians. Great stuff. Looking forward to meeting grandma. She's got to be awesome....just like her grandson. Peace...and thanks for your reaction. Heart felt always.
I love that he was born in Zanzibar, to parents who were from the Indian state of Gujarat, which was Gandhi's birthplace. Bapu and Freddie Mercury were both Gujaratis! Not comparing the two men by any means, I just think it's cool.
David Paich, the singer wanted to do missionary work in Africa. That is what the song is about. The love and calling of the missionary work over there.
So glad I discovered you...you bring some outstanding classics, thanks so much!!! You're solid, sincere, real...blessed be!!! Toto, what can be said??? Pure classic!! One and only, Africa, among their very best!!! Just a little food for thought...you might like Willie and Lucas cover of Petal Jam's Breathe...more recent but def good!!!! 💜💜👍
It was the good old years back then. I feel bad for the younger generation, we were carefree back then and right now the world is horrible. Thank you for bringing music to everyone, so glad to see your generation enjoy the classics
Toto is simply one of the best bands comprised of real musicians. This song is senior year high school for me...thanks for the happy memory! Keep on groovin'! xo
This came out my senior year of high school. Awesome memories associated with this song. Toto is a great band. You should do more 80's pop. Men At Work, Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, The B52's, The Go Go's. Those are just a few good 80's bands.
Oh yeah. This song was song of the year , at the time. AND , Rosanna was aslo a song of the year. I LOVE THIS GROUP. Such amazing vocals. One of my all time favorites. And I want to meet your Grandma. Lol
I love your Grandma, she is so cool, and has great taste in music. If you were born in 1995, I was in college in 1995...gosh makes me feel old. I love Toto. Another great song to react to is Rosanna by Toto!
You should check out some of the live versions of this song. Toto are really a band that needs to be heard and seen live to fully appreciate how great they are.
I love that your family influences your music choices. They obviously are amazing and know great music. 💓. Love this band. Rosanna is another great one by Toto. 💋
I reccomend out of all the covers of this song the "Italian Artists" version with a string section and...Well these talented people obviously love this song. Now the history, the guy who wrote the lyrics went to a school with a teacher who had been a missionary in Africa. In his friendship with this traveler he came away with the impression of how lonely it is to be far from home and separate from the local culture while loving the land and the people, but knowing he could never be truly a part of it. Caught between worlds. And somehow the song captures that deep emotion even for people who have no idea what it is about.
My favorite song! I lived in Africa and I had just moved back to NY when this song came out. It makes me cry, actually sob, everytime I hear it. I miss Africa so much. Once you’ve lived in Africa it gets in your bones because we all came from there.
I'm from South Africa. PLEASE play Scatterlings of Africa by Johnny Clegg. He recently passed away. 😭 An enormous loss internationally. He was known as the white Zulu, and completely fluent in Zulu and immersed in their culture. Asimbonanga is another fantastic song. It was written for Nelson Mandela while he was still imprisoned on Robben Island. Please x 391.
IM loving your reactions...this is the best music of its time..the music of the past was a happier time i think to a lot of people..when life was more carefree..easy happy hoping that time is again..right around the corner...thanks for being real
one of the biggest singalong songs! Play this at a pool hall on the jukebox, youve got people songing along. Big burly dudes singing falsetto, pure fun
Your grandmother shares my taste in music.....I think I would enjoy a summer afternoon with her, sipping sweet tea, and listening to her playlist. Side note, check out Bobby Caldwell, I think you’ll like his work. Great channel!
"Africa" is a song recorded by the American rock band Toto in 1981, for their fourth studio album Toto IV, and released as the album's third single on September 30, 1982, through Columbia Records. The song was written by band members David Paich and Jeff Porcaro. The soft rock song lyrically incorporates themes of love and location.
I believe everybody and everything seemed so much more laid back in the seventies and eighties when we had the greatest music ever. I believe in the late eighties was when everything in life just started to go to fast and everything even to this day goes to fast and there is just so much more stuff put on a person plate that life is just so much harder to in joy. I was lucky enough to in joy the music of really the late sixties through the late eighties.
Man, I'm sure glad you liked this song. The drama and exotica of the lyrics will speak to any human being with a heart. The only thing I wish Toto would had done ... finish the song with a recording of actual African drummers embellishing the beat of the music -- then bring it to an abrupt halt for the ending.
JB, I am the same age as these guys and you have to check out more videos on them. They are my favorite group. They are wonderful musicians and have played on thousands of other artists records. Toto is amazing! Please check out these songs by them: Hold The Line (there first hit), Rosanna, Pamela, I Won't Hold You Back, Till The End, Goin Home, Stop Loving You, 99, the list goes on and on. They just got done with there 40th Anniversary tour. Check out some live stuff too. The guitarist (Steve Lukather) has been in the band since the beginning. He also played the guitar on "Beat It" by Michael Jackson. True! Eddie Van Halen played the solo, but Steve played the rest of the guitar and the bass. Other members of the band are: The singer in this video is David Paich ( he plays the piano) Steve Porcaro (plays keyboards) but he is playing piano in this video. Mike Porcaro (plays bass) Jeff Porcaro plays drum. Both Mike and Jeff have passed away, Steve is the only brother left. The other singer is Bobby Kimball. The lastest singer however,is Joseph Williams (son of composer of Star Wars and Jaws theme John Williams) I hope you do more videos of Toto, your grandma has a good ear!! :)
Check out this a cappella version of this song by Perpetuum Jazilee from Romania. They do the WHOLE thing with body sounds and voices. Just look up Perpetuum Jazilee - Africa. Very nice rendition! Note that it mentions the rain in Africa - they do rain, thunder and lightning (with lights) very cleverly!! It's around fifty men and women singing together. Percussion is done beat box style. Very cool! You will LOVE IT!!!
Can't wait to see Grandma. She clearly has great taste in music.
Kermit Youngblood yeah grandma is my hero
Grandma's never wrong.
My thoughts exactly! Great song! Great taste Grandma! 😊💜
I should say so!!!
Your Grandmother has great taste, great reaction.
For me, "Africa" is Toto's best song. But "Rosanna" is another great one you should check out!
Charlie Blevins add “hold the line” on to that list
Hold the line
Charlie Blevins yes, this, hold the line, & lastly Rosanna.
o many o much better
Yes... Rosanna Best song too...
I’m a South African by birth but spent my 20’s and 30’s in London UK. Whenever this song played in clubs or pubs, it made me so homesick! I’m living back in Africa now! Africa gets inside you. There is nothing like the love you have for Africa.
Always listen to your grandma! She is a smart lady obviously.

These older songs have a spirit, they have something most modern music lacks, imo.
Props to your grandma James! Cherish her.
"Africa" by Toto is the most popular, loved and most requested song even to this day!! I just saw Toto perform it on Oct. 10th in Atlanta on their "40 Trips Around the Sun" concert tour, which they have been doing this tour for over 2 years now and have toured for over 40 years, thus the title of their tour.

You put on a good set of headphones, sit back, Toto’s Africa is sonic therapy.
I don't think anybody, at all, ever doesn't like this song. Seriously.
I think that's pretty true.
how could ANYONE possibly dislike this song!!!!!!!
TheOriginalFILIBUSTA I love this who will love this song...
I know a guy at work who hates Toto, including this song. 🤦🏼♂️
@@erwinfelis4613 Oh well. Buy him a beer and tell him we love him anyway.
You're lookin' at the boys who wrote, performed and produced much of "Thriller" for Michael Jackson. Yeah, that's right man. Toto is comprised of absolute top notch musicians.

Thriller was written by Rod Temperton including the intro voiced by Vincent Price.
You got that right....all the guys in Toto were extremely talented musicians and understood the music industry!
I think that’s overstating things a little, but no doubt they put their musical flair on their respective arrangements.
I was 11 (I think) when this song came out. I was walking through our tiny apartment, mom had her radio on in the kitchen - as always - this song came on and I stopped dead in my tracks outside the kitchen door. Man, I live for music. You have a great channel, really really like it, and you.

These guys were amazing. Great choice that's mostly overlooked these days. Amazing vocals. Man that chorus should go on all day.

You gotta do Toto "Rosanna." Also "Hold the Line" was a big hit for them.
Hold the Line is the forgotten step child of Toto hits... but it's a banger!

I remember this song from my college days. Toto was an excellent band...all were awesome musicians!
Your grandma has great taste! I never get sick of this song. One of my favorites ever.
Would love to see your grandmother’s play list, she has good taste
Freddie LOVED this song, especially the “Serengeti “ part. He grew up in the same country as the Serengeti. (Tanzania)
If you mean Mercury, he was born & raised in Zanzibar
I love that he was born in Zanzibar, to parents who were from the Indian state of Gujarat, which was Gandhi's birthplace. Bapu and Freddie Mercury were both Gujaratis! Not comparing the two men by any means, I just think it's cool.
Having lived in east Africa I remember the rainy season, this song says it well and your grandma knows it too..thnx
David Paich, the singer wanted to do missionary work in Africa. That is what the song is about. The love and calling of the missionary work over there.
Your Grandmother has great taste in music!!!
Last year on America's Got Talent there was a HUGE choir that covered this song. I normally don't like choir acts but they nailed this song.
I love you and your commentary. It's unbelievable how you interpret the music and lyrics with your body ....your skin!
So glad I discovered you...you bring some outstanding classics, thanks so much!!! You're solid, sincere, real...blessed be!!! Toto, what can be said??? Pure classic!! One and only, Africa, among their very best!!! Just a little food for thought...you might like Willie and Lucas cover of Petal Jam's Breathe...more recent but def good!!!! 💜💜👍
All I can tell you is that your Grans Loves You and she has great taste in music. WOW enjoy her company and don't forget to call her often.
It was the good old years back then. I feel bad for the younger generation, we were carefree back then and right now the world is horrible. Thank you for bringing music to everyone, so glad to see your generation enjoy the classics
Love this song. Absolutely the best. Georgy Porgy by them from 1978 is another great song. With additional vocals by Cheryl Lynn.
One of the best pop rock songs ever written. Toto were amazing musicians, and their drummer from this era was one of the absolute best.
Grandmothers have excellent taste in music. Sounds like your grandma and I would get along well. We grandmothers have to stick together.
This is just one jammin tune. I don't know anybody that doesn't like it.
I love this song since I'm a kid.
My dad hates it somehow
Toto is simply one of the best bands comprised of real musicians. This song is senior year high school for me...thanks for the happy memory! Keep on groovin'! xo

Got my shovel and am digging this Toto IV closer, right along with you. Grandma has killer taste.
It has such a unique sound to it. One of my true favorites.
Another much loved song was Peter Gabriel- "In your eyes" same African vibe and total classic
One of my favourite songs. didn't appreciate it when I was a kid (when it was first released).
It's a pleasure of see you doing reactions to this music. I grew up listening to it. These songs had meaning and substance. Thank you!
I love that your family influences your music choices. They obviously are amazing and know great music. 💓. Love this band. Rosanna is another great one by Toto. 💋
I was born in '75, so I grew up in the 80s. Miss them so much ❤👍
There were a few groups in the day, that you totally turned the volume up till the walls would SHAKE!! Toto was one of those groups!
my wife and I went looking for this record in several other towns when we heard it on the radio, FINALLY we found the album , it's been a great tune!
killer groove. harmonies. irresistible.
Man!! God Bless you and your family. I'll never regret growing up with such great music man. Thanks.
Yay! Can't wait to see you and your grandma!!! 💖

It's good to see a young guy like yourself listening to older music, It will never go out of style. Keep on truckin homie.
When is Grandma going to guest star on a reaction???
You need to check this out live! The one you want, is the one with the bass solo! Fantastic!
My favorite song! I lived in Africa and I had just moved back to NY when this song came out.
It makes me cry, actually sob, everytime I hear it.
I miss Africa so much.
Once you’ve lived in Africa it gets in your bones because we all came from there.
Another great 80's song by another great 80's band! There are tons of awesome 80's songs! You still have many many more great 80's bands to react to!
Hold the line by this band is incredible!! Thank you! 1980s music is the best!
Love the joy in your face.Just enjoy the great music mate.
1980's.... On the airwaves.... Reliably... Great song.
I'm from South Africa. PLEASE play Scatterlings of Africa by Johnny Clegg. He recently passed away. 😭 An enormous loss internationally. He was known as the white Zulu, and completely fluent in Zulu and immersed in their culture.
Asimbonanga is another fantastic song. It was written for Nelson Mandela while he was still imprisoned on Robben Island. Please x 391.
WE "DIGGIN'" IT TOO !!! THE 80's WERE THE BEST !!! GREAT MEMORIES !!!
Woohoo!! Gotta love us grandmas!!!
This is FANTASTIC!!!! Your Grand Mother knows what is good.
IM loving your reactions...this is the best music of its time..the music of the past was a happier time i think to a lot of people..when life was more carefree..easy happy hoping that time is again..right around the corner...thanks for being real
Rock n Roll is all about the Lyrics n Instrument. Awesome!
one of the biggest singalong songs! Play this at a pool hall on the jukebox, youve got people songing along. Big burly dudes singing falsetto, pure fun
I was raised by two Grandmas. I owe so much to them. RIP.
Man, you are the real deal. I tell my friends to look at your stuff.

Awesome song....one of my favs as a kid in the 1980s.
I love how you say you're "digging it". It's totally cool and groovy man. Use the lingo.
If it's good enough for Cyrus in the Warriors,then it's good enough for me.
Man, I'm sure glad you liked this song. The drama and exotica of the lyrics will speak to any human being with a heart. The only thing I wish Toto would had done ... finish the song with a recording of actual African drummers embellishing the beat of the music -- then bring it to an abrupt halt for the ending.

I love how much your family supports you!!!
Toto "Hold the line"... my favorite.

This takes me back to my rollerskating days. Dang it! I just aged myself 😂😂😂
Dancing on 8 wheels 😁
