Thank You, people of the Internet. I’m 56yrs old and Today years old finding out that that’s Cheryl Lynn singing that part, always wondered who did. Thank you again, People of the Internet.
I never knew that.. ❤ I went to see her and Luther Vandross in Atlanta. What, a great concert.. I miss, you Wendy Pickney, my dear friend.. You're the only person on the planet, I could tell my deepest secrets.. Love you sister . RIP. 😢😢
Blue eyed soul at its finest. I remember hearing this on black radio stations when I was in grade school and never knew that this was the band that put this out. 😮
@@vincentwilsonsr8652 what about the lady singing the hook cheryl Lynn who went on to become a solo artist herself her famous song got to be real and a few other big hits
This song is pure perfection. The arrangement, percussion, guitar, bass line, and the vocals are timeless. Everything just slips into place. You have to hear this over and over again... it just keeps getting better and better.
@@aubindemontfalcon5967 Cuz Bobby Kimball was lame. Didn't like that layer to Toto at all. Paich's piano in that tune is dope on HTL tho. They were better off without him. Africa is just alright....mainly cuz it's different. I think it just drove us all mad and there's no recovering from the pop culture beatdown we got with it....and still get. GP is indeed the jam tho. They Cheryl Lynn to sing on it....'nuff said.
For me, perhaps the best and most perfect song by Toto. So much funk and soul and with an incredible atmosphere. I can listen to it on a continuous loop.
LISTENING 👂🏽 TO IT IN 2024. It came on the radio in Saline, Michigan on this past Friday; and it was sunny. I was speeding down US 23 , and it just took me to another time in history in my life. 🧬 THIS IS CLASSIC... Nice to dance to in any generation.... I even looked up the original saying in Google...
Bro this song is perfect I'm such a critic Always have something constructive to say But there's nothing to said for this tune but perfect guys Perfect for ridin on them warm Michigan nights
I cannot listen to this just once. Lukather’s singing, Cheryl Lynn backing vocals, the guitar, the groove, the piano, the horns! It all just explodes in my ears! It has since I first heard it and had to buy the 45
To the parents who lived this era and introduced us to this music growing up, THANK YOU! We'll keep it going with our kids and hopefully this generation of music will never be forgotten
I played this song for my 22 year old son the other day and he was blown away,He started playing it for his friends and none of them had it heard before either,they were instantly hooked!
Eric Ben'et did a version in 1999, with Faith Evans on the chorus. Almost 20yrs after the original. His was a little more RnB with a heavier bass kick. More house party vibe. I like both the original and the remake. That piano in the original is killer though. We have to steer the younger generation toward old school music. So they know that a lot of today's artists sample from the classics. My kids range in age from 25 to 12. I expose them to the classics, 60's, 70's, 80's on through the 90's.
That was how my friend and I were in college, we would listen to a lot of songs from the 70s and 80s, came across this one and couldn't believe it was Toto. Pretty awesome song!
My favorite Toto song of all time. Amazing groove. Luke's vocals and slide guitar, Jeff's in the pocket drums, david's keyboards, bumping bassline. it's funky and musical perfection. I could listen to it every day !
Been trying to figure out WHY this song is so perfect. Is it the melancholic vibe? The groove, the interesting chord progression? The vocal performance? The engineering? The guitar solo? The arrangement? The lyrics? I think the fact that those are all contenders is what makes it so good. Every aspect is spot on.
its a perfectly executed and perfectly written song by the masters who played on all your favorite songs of the 70's and 80's. I think the real cherry on top though is that crescendo that happens at the end of the first chorus and the end of the song with that perfectly executed bass drum that you NEED to hear.
Steve's voice is one of my favourites out of all their voices, I think it is because the first time I heard Toto, he was singing and when `I hear his voice it is Toto, the distinction in his voice is very subtle but suits this song perfectly. The whole band is individually a master class in their own right but together they have a sound that is timeless and I am so glad I grew up to this!
ToTo has a sound all their own. I first had Classic back in h.s. It’s just such a great song and with Cheryl Lynn singing her part it’s even better. I really think that music from the 60’s-80’s era is the greatest era of music ever recorded.
I’m 27 but listen to more of this stuff than current music. Maybe bands that are ahead of their time are really meant for us old souls. Makes our current trip round the Sun a lot more fun anyways 🤷♂️
I was fortunate enough to be a teenager in the late ‘70’s.Just about every song that came out during that era, was fantastic. Toto was one of the best. Perfection!
I was a teenager in the late 70’s too. Great bands and great cars. Chevelles….Camaros…Trans Ams…Toto…Eagles…Blue Oyster Cult….hip hugger jeans…crop tops….8 Tracks….great time to grow up.😊
Love them all ! Lot of drugs around then but it didn’t stop them tho he looks stoned and look at him 10 years later ! He’s so handsome here it sucks what drugs are doing ❤️
I'm a lifelong amateur drummer. and back in the 90s when i was a kid i came across this tune... and... Jeff on drums forever changed how i listen and enjoy drums. this stuff right here is once in a generation feel for modern drumming.
While this song wasn't a chart topper, it is my favorite Toto song. I love all the little things they threw into this musically to give it a wall of sound. What a mellow, chill song. How can you listen to his and not feel good?
Not really. Disco & 70s style R&B were approaching their height of popularity when this album came out. However, Georgy Porgy is one of the best tunes ever released in the genre, and made Toto's superb debut album even more eclectic. 👍👍 (I couldn't stand most disco...generally it was extremely dumbed-down R&B....but I loved this tune from the moment I first heard it!)
You are right on point. I didn't know that this song was by toto and to top it off didn't know Cheryl Lynn song the hook . I was walking in to Target this morning and heard this blasting and immediately start bobbing my head
@@chudzzzz You may have come from that version (I'd agree it's also great) but this is the original from TOTO and it's probably the reason why Faith and Eric decided to do their version together because it's so smokin' good!
I was living in Charlotte, NC in 1979, seven hours away from my birthplace of Montgomery, AL by interstate. I was a jewelry manager for Service Merchandise. I'd become accustomed to falling asleep listening to a local radio station on really great headphones. After several hours, I woke around 1:30 am when this song came on. It ABSOLUTELY knocked me out of a deep sleep. I listened, and thought "Gino Vanelli has done a song with Cheryl Lynn!" I was half right. Bought the album the very next day. Still one of my all time favorites!
Rock solid David Hungate on bass, the awesome Lenny Castro on congas, and the fantastic Cheryl Lynn supplying the sweet background vocal ! ... A true slice of heaven !
@@josephmanno4514 They had many hits. This is my favorite. Perfect record. I can't recall ever playing another Toto song on repeat for hours. This song is magical.
Who says it's "underrated" in the black community we were jammin' this shit!! Hello!!💯💖👌🏾🤚🏾👋🏾 I guess you might say that 'cuz a black woman was singing, her name was Cheryl Lynn, yes, and I've notice how she's not even in the video, I don't believe she's even featured on the record either!🤨🙄 Yes, we know how MTV got down in those days, Herbie Hancock, wasn't even allowed to be in his own video on that show! White people rule the roost, back in those days, but I still watched it, I know the racist history now.😟 I'm pretty sure you're not ignorant of the reason why Michael Jackson was played on MTV? 🤔
Toto has always been very popular in The Netherlands. You can hear songs from them on Dutch radio every day. Especially Stop Loving You that made number 2 in the charts back in '88. But Georgy Porgy is also my absolute favorite Toto song!
Sad , traumatic sort of thing to say. He's not a scoundrel. He just has a need to consume her. He denies it, but he is. A systematic scoundrel. That is why the girls are crying.
You can tell they poured their heart and soul into this song. They were all amazing. I remember being 15 when this song first came on the radio. It was an under rated band but they made magic. Beautiful work of art. I love this song. I ❤️ Toto
Hello! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day! Stay Safe
@@RomyKuhn Hey! I just can't Stop myself from listening to this song anytime am alone! If I may ask which of all their songs is your favorite? You take care and be safe
@@lalaloolooOr because older generations (you) refuse to go out and seek the music that people ACTUALLY listen to. Do you really think people actually listen to the radio? I can answer that question for you. Nobody actually listens to what's played on the radio. Everybody agrees it sucks. Want an example of a good band thats on the new side? Greta Van Fleet. Want another? Look at Mac DeMarco. Tool is pretty good too, though they're 2000s. Tame Impala is pretty damn good too. Look it up yourself. Don't just say "lol the kids are stupid." Hell, boomers (the "best generation" apparently) raised the newer gens. If anything, they should be better, unless you're saying boomers are a failure and did a shit job at raising their kids.
NOW THIS IS MUSIC! Pure MAGIC.....I was 12 in 1978 and I heard this ALOT on the radio and then finally my dad bought the Album cassette and played this song on the stereo at home.....Brings back great family memories.... :)
This is one of the best bands of all time...their songs are timeless...Toto IV was a classic and well deserving of the "Best Album of the Year" for 1982!.
If this music was only on top again now--soft, love rock....This, & following generations, have missed out on such a great Era. Hope it comes back for them, & all of us ❤
Such a crush on Jeff. He was adorable explaining Roseanna one way and plays it differently. I thought it was the cutest thing I've ever seen. :) Yes, I know he's dead. Still bothers me.
I'm just 16 years old, in the past I'm K-POP fan turned into 70s & 80s enthusiast, I loved to listen this song, specially TOTO band is one of my favorite, and Jeff Porcaro is such an amazing drummer, Steve Lukather so much loved her voice
Absolutely!! Hard rock, prog rock R&B, balads, classical (Dune), jazz (with Miles Davis), funk (some songs on Fahrenheit album and also 'Let it go' on FIB, and heavy metal jazz fusion with 'Jake to the bone' etc
This was soft rock, blues, and a ballad all rolled into one. The addition of Cheryl Lynn complements the lead singer.
Almost like some Cool And The Gang vibe.
Disco vibe
Wonder why shr not in the video though
Yeah! I missed her in the video!
R&B tambien

It's a great mood to be in.
Veremos que sucede! from ARGENTINA
That's what comes out when perfect and talented musicians get together.
Steve Lukather the most underrated and under appreciated guitar players and singers of maybe all time and genuinely one of the nicest
This dude is amazing. Just watched a compilation of his guitar solid. He is incredible.
That`s a CONSPIRACY theory!
People who know anything about the guitar know perfectly well how good he is, he’s not underrated
Damn straight!!!!!!!
Because ?
You have to love how TH-cam is the closest thing to a time machine

Beautiful rhythm, so laid back by Porcaro.
Toto: Georgy Porgy
Release Date: April 1979 (45 years)
Wow
Toto actually released "Georgy Porgy" on November the 10th of 1978.
And it STILL sounds better than most garbage out today
I remember this song coming out in '78. Doesn't matter anyway. It was a hit in my book. Loved the smoothness of the music.
I was 5❤️

Toto has always been very popular in The Netherlands. You can hear songs from them on Dutch radio every day. Especially Stop Loving You that made number 2 in the charts back in '88. But Georgy Porgy is also my absolute favorite Toto song!
This band remains one of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame biggest snubs. Been eligible 24 years.
That’s insane
That is the voice of an angel
Easily one of the best songs of all time! Perfect!
you know. this was one of the most awesome songs ever done. there were never be a song like this ever in history.
1979 to 2024 😍
Toto is straight jiggin with this one! Definitely needs to be in the Rock n Roll HOF!!!! Hands down!!!!!
I love how the drummer is mouthing “yes” when the lead singer Steve is belting so sweet supporting fellow band members ❤
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here
I love that moment in this song as well!
big shit eatin grin on jeffs face too. He's like "nailed it".
One of the best song ever. So smooth, so sexy, so chill, paradise for ears.
Well said!
No wonder I was so cool in high school, I used to listen to this on the way to school. I couldn't help it! Lol
Paraíso para los oídos, la mejor definición de este tema.
a song to make love to your old lady
Paradise for ears...so true
"I'm not so systematic, it's just that I'm an addict for your LOVE!" What a great line!
And the way he releases vocally is the way I want to release with the one I love.She is mine whoever she is.
Sad , traumatic sort of thing to say. He's not a scoundrel. He just has a need to consume her. He denies it, but he is. A systematic scoundrel. That is why the girls are crying.
Pacaro hitting those 16th notes on the high hat is what makes this song, along with his brother on the keyboard. Toto is legit.
You can tell they poured their heart and soul into this song. They were all amazing. I remember being 15 when this song first came on the radio. It was an under rated band but they made magic. Beautiful work of art. I love this song. I ❤️ Toto
Hello! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day! Stay Safe
@@gregnormal
❤
@@RomyKuhn Hey! I just can't Stop myself from listening to this song anytime am alone! If I may ask which of all their songs is your favorite? You take care and be safe
Not a man of emotions but this songs always proves me wrong .... Classic never gets old
good man
Yes powerful emotions..lyrically wise..
Love this song
No joke
I remember these songs growing up. Didn't realise Toto sung many of these songs. They have my total respect.
I've only realized Toto sang this song today. Lol.
I’m having this same revelation.
I guess you could say they have your "toto" respect? 🤣
Priceless song!
Can someone start a petition to have Toto inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall Of Fame?
On it!
Bet
EXACTLY
Absolutely! Toto is long overdue to be inducted in the Rock N’ Roll hall of fame! One the best ever!!
No man we need cats like Run DMC and Friggin FooFighters
This song still kills it in 2016. I mean seriously, this shit never gets old.
so agree
That's right!
Just think of Run-DMC when they say "Not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good......... there it is"
Jacob Palmer grub upon
Jacob Palmer lmao
Why OH WHY can't we have music like this anymore! 😪
oh it’s definitely out there somewhere, just not as main stream as it was back in the day
Because the generations are getting stupider
@@lalaloolooOr because older generations (you) refuse to go out and seek the music that people ACTUALLY listen to. Do you really think people actually listen to the radio? I can answer that question for you. Nobody actually listens to what's played on the radio. Everybody agrees it sucks.
Want an example of a good band thats on the new side? Greta Van Fleet. Want another? Look at Mac DeMarco. Tool is pretty good too, though they're 2000s. Tame Impala is pretty damn good too.
Look it up yourself. Don't just say "lol the kids are stupid."
Hell, boomers (the "best generation" apparently) raised the newer gens. If anything, they should be better, unless you're saying boomers are a failure and did a shit job at raising their kids.
@@cherrypepsi2815 oh you’re so cute little kid. Go eat rocks 😊 you know nothing
Estoy en la misma
Still my favorite Toto jam 48 years later. My mother had this album in rotation when I was baking in her belly and long after. Lol
So rich, so full, so musical, so beautiful. It's one of my favorite songs of all time.
The great Jeff Porcaro killin’ it with a cool groove....
My so favorite song after all these years!!! I am 63, a widow, a 70’s child , and I love love love this song! I know a few Georgie Porgy’s!
That bass line!! Simple but on point!!
NOW THIS IS MUSIC! Pure MAGIC.....I was 12 in 1978 and I heard this ALOT on the radio and then finally my dad bought the Album cassette and played this song on the stereo at home.....Brings back great family memories.... :)
This is one of the best bands of all time...their songs are timeless...Toto IV was a classic and well deserving of the "Best Album of the Year" for 1982!.
wasn't Heatwave one of the session bands too?
Samantha Nickson the best session band of all times too
Such good music. Smooth as silk..
This came out in August of 1978 ,,, Your lying or MISS INFORMED
99 Was recorded and released in 1978. 2 Years from the 80s The 80s were not even in DIAPERS YET
How in the world aren't TOTO in the rock and roll hall of fame !!! Absolutely ridiculous.
Because they are enigmatic!
If this music was only on top again now--soft, love rock....This, & following generations, have missed out on such a great Era. Hope it comes back for them, & all of us ❤
Porcaro brothers = gigantic talents. 2 out of 3 gone. RIP. We miss you, man.
Maravillosos músicos
Such a crush on Jeff. He was adorable explaining Roseanna one way and plays it differently. I thought it was the cutest thing I've ever seen. :) Yes, I know he's dead. Still bothers me.
My son, 2 years old, loves this band. 🥰🥰🥰
I'm just 16 years old, in the past I'm K-POP fan turned into 70s & 80s enthusiast, I loved to listen this song, specially TOTO band is one of my favorite, and Jeff Porcaro is such an amazing drummer, Steve Lukather so much loved her voice
You can be both Kpop and Toto fan!! enjoy all the music you like and have fun!!! 🙌🏻
This was 1978 Love 70s music and 70s bands
This song and "Hold the Line" are my two faves of theirs.
th-cam.com/video/aDBNmRTXTy8/w-d-xo.html
Same here!! I listen to kpop and 70s, 80s nothing wrong with exploring different genres that you like!
Timeless will stand the test of time "forever!" Classic !!
Hard rock one minute and smooth R&B the next. That's Toto's versatility for you.
SIGMAMAN69 lol right that’s why i love them
And didn't they do the soundtrack for Dune?
Yes,they did
I remember as a kid listening to this on R&B radio stations so much. Toto still blows my mind to this day! Many hit's!!!
Absolutely!! Hard rock, prog rock R&B, balads, classical (Dune), jazz (with Miles Davis), funk (some songs on Fahrenheit album and also 'Let it go' on FIB, and heavy metal jazz fusion with 'Jake to the bone' etc
