HAHAHA...... some unsophisticated pop crap.... you must have never learn of hard time by Ray charles... or Yesterday by the beatles... or Smile by David gilmour.. or a thousand better song not sign by PEDO
I agree with you, Michael Davis 100%. Human Nature will forever inspire talented musicians all over this world and the world beyond. Here's a jazzy version of it. Enjoy. th-cam.com/video/3oxjjPcjibo/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
i thought: Man this sound good on the piano....but after Mj came in i thought, THATS the way it has to sound! MJ made the finetune with his voice on this tune.
I, a 36 year old, still listen to it to fall asleep. As a child, I insisted on watching Thriller before I fell asleep. Which was insane. I was scared out of my mind.
True fact. In fact Thriller as an album was how I finally came to understand the true definition of what they called a "pop record" in that day. It finally made sense, it was about the collective: bringing the right people in for the right material to make something truly unforgettable. It may have been Michael Jackson's, nay the world's all-time greatest selling album, but the musicians truly made that album.
Its the little things in life that's makes a huge impact his daughter created a master peace buy asking her father why he replied to her by saying its just human nature wow wow wow
Interestingly, Steve Porcaro also wrote a song called ‘The Little Things’ for Toto, pretty much about what you described, little things making a huge impact. It’s this beautiful mellow song that I can recommend to anyone who loves Human Nature :)
I think some people have a natural groove in their playing, I don't, no matter how I try. And yet the next person can play my same notes/chords and they just rock.
MJNerd c: I saw this comment a few weeks ago & I had already got a keyboard & I learned this song but on a basic level compared to Steve. You can too if you really want too
Mine too, Drillosophy 101. An awesome composition. Flawless. Celestial. Music heals but Human Nature elevates. Here's another beautiful version of it. Enjoy. th-cam.com/video/3oxjjPcjibo/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
The piano piece is just beautiful all by itself. And I can't believe the world almost missed out on Michael recording this great songll!!! Thank GOD for auto reverse!!
vea6582 as a kid it's weird because I heard human nature on the thriller album and I started doing the robot Michael does in the bad tour before I'd even seen him do it! It was so weird but obviously Michael is king
Same here!!! Saw old video footage of me at a party and coincidentally they filmed singing this song lost in my world of oblivion and toys...damn this is such a great song
Steve Porcaro the song that you wrote called Human Nature puts you in a category with Beethoven and Mozart when it comes to pop music. Pure genius thank you.
I like how we all go around and let everyone know this. We are great ambassadors. Too bad they weren’t still all with us and we wouldn’t have to be doing this but it’s our responsibility.
All these years of hearing Toto, I've mainly heard David Paich playing piano, and Steve Porcaro playing synthesizers. It was a pleasant surprise hearing Steve on piano here of this video. TOTO ROCKS & RULES!
I also love the way Greg Phillinganes played it a few years ago on DJ Strick’s youtube channel. It was like being engulfed by the cosmos. Truly ethereal.
I believe Human Nature is the first big side of Michael’s emotional path of Music. Just before Man in the Mirror, We are the World/Heal the World, Earth Song, Joy and other ones this song has it.
I always thought Human Nature was about how fame took a toll on Michael Jackson's life whenever his cover came out. Never knew the song was intended to be a Toto song.
One of the greatest songs ever written by a member of the greatest musical family to have ever come out of Northeast: the Porcaro family. F’ing Legends all of them and I miss Jeff every day and Mike and also Joe.
Connecticut born and raised! The Porcaros were from in Hartford, Connecticut. I actually met one of Steve’s cousins here because I’m from CT as well. The whole family is very musical.
Are you for real?? You don't have any clue about Steve's keyboard "jumping" is a recall of the finished song??? Are you that dumb not to under stand that? You really think his jam on this video is his original first chords?? OMG
Little did he know him & Michael would give us the greatest song of all time, it’s literally that good. It’s about the nature of the universe and you can feel it in your soul while you listen to its harmonies
I just love hearing the story behind the music and the creative process. Getting inspiration of his daughter on how to deal with human nature. Pfff just wow!❤️😍😍
steve lukather was genius with the guitarr and jeff was genius with the drums and mike was genius with bass and steve was genius with synthesizers and keyboard
It's...2022 I'm getting a bit old now...and here I am, again listening to this breathtaking song. Thank you for your genious Steve Porcaro. If there's a heaven I think I'll hear Michael Jackson singing this beautiful song.
You can see it in her eyes that she is a fan! really loved watching this and she is a great interviewer. Steve Porcaro is an amazing human being. His whole family is.
I always use auto reverse on the audio tapes I played all the time to listen to a music tape continuously. Now in 2022, it's mp3 songs on a computer that you can play continuously on rotation without ever stopping.
Steve you are a genius I thank God for you I've been listening to this song ever since I was a kid and it always sound new every time I listen to it this was the greatest song ever made
My fave song in that album and was surprised when I found out Steve wrote it and said to myself no wonder of all the songs I liked this one. I am a huge Toto fan then Michael sang it just wow💚❤️💙💛
This has been one of my favorite Michael Jackson songs since I was a child and now it might be my favorite or the second one after Billie Jean. I remember how hard it hit me when John Mayer played an instrumental version on the guitar at Michael's funeral. What a beautiful composition, thanks Steve and Michael for giving us such a sublime masterpiece.
David Paitch wrote the lyrics to Africa. Band wrote the music. They were mixing Africa in the control room while Steve was out in the studio writing Human Nature. That's a productive evening. Africa was the very last song to make it on to Toto 4. It was more a pet project to Paitch. The other guys didnt think it belonged. Crazy huh!
What a great song Human Nature is, so introspective and beautiful. Steve and John did a great job coming up with it, and then of course MJ and Quincy to actually making it happen.
Me too I love this song very, very much Human Nature it is very nice song & all of the music of MJ that’s WHY everyone LOVES him. RiP MJ. We love you.❤️👍🇨🇿✌️
Huge respect for Mr. Steve Porcaro, an excellent musician and he seems like a genuinely nice guy, so adorable.Furthermore, I love Human Nature, it's one of the best Michael Jackson songs that were not written by him, but he shouldn't be taken the credit away, I think no one could have performed better this song than him.
rhythm and melody of the song is out of this world. Michael's harmony just elevates to favorite song ever. should've peaked higher than 7 on top 100 in 82..to me it's the best song on the historic thriller album.
It always seems that behind every great song that was ever written there's always a wonderful story about that song and how it almost never made the album but through some divine intervention or through happenstance it does and goes on to become a timeless classic. These stories have inspired so many other artist and musicians and more of these stories need to be told as a testament to the wonderful musicians that brought these songs to life and into our psyches. Great stuff!!
I missed those days of the cassette and cassette recorders; especially with auto-reverse. I like the CD but that hiss from those cassettes; timeless. Even when Tascam came out with those cassette mixers; my favorite was the 644. The recording of our band was so much fun back then. I can only imagine what Steve and David were doing back in those days. Human Nature is a masterpiece!😌🎶🎹❤️👍🏾
Great interview about my fav Jackson song. Also very cool to see Steve explain it's origin. For those who don't already know, almost the entire band of Toto played on this song & on the rest of the thriller album as well.
One of the greatest songs ever written. A masterpiece.
It was an amazing coincidence that this song arrived on the Thriller album. Thanks to Mike and Quincy who made it possible.
HAHAHA...... some unsophisticated pop crap.... you must have never learn of hard time by Ray charles... or Yesterday by the beatles... or Smile by David gilmour.. or a thousand better song not sign by PEDO
Totally agree. One in a million
Fantastic song. Quincy took the rough demo and made a gem with MJ. Love it.
@@zoomthruths7976 wuss
"First chords I wrote were"...
Then goes on to play pretty much the entire song. I love it. It sounds amazing on piano
He forsure did not play out the whole melody in that one night, that’s some Chopin shit
It's a simple melody he might've worked it out that same night @@benpietrzykowski9216
This is the most unique song I've ever heard. You've NEVER heard another song and thought, "that sounds like Human Nature!" ... never!
parabéns pelo comentário, human Nature é única, perfeição.
I agree with you, Michael Davis 100%. Human Nature will forever inspire talented musicians all over this world and the world beyond. Here's a jazzy version of it. Enjoy. th-cam.com/video/3oxjjPcjibo/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
“What have I done” by Ne-Yo reminds me of Human Nature.
Unless it’s other Michael songs 😭
This is sooo true!
Michael singing that song is the icing on the cake.
SFF86 - It would have been a nice Toto song but Michael made it legendary
SFF86 ya that was meant for Michael for sure. Crazy good.
SFF86 - His vocals are flawless on that track.
his vibratoooooooo
i thought: Man this sound good on the piano....but after Mj came in i thought, THATS the way it has to sound! MJ made the finetune with his voice on this tune.
I remember as a child asking my Mom to play Human Nature to help me fall asleep. Such a soothing and beautiful song.
Awwwww that's sweet
❤️
Lucky you...
I, a 36 year old, still listen to it to fall asleep.
As a child, I insisted on watching Thriller before I fell asleep. Which was insane. I was scared out of my mind.
🥰
This gentleman, along with the other members of Toto, is the reason why Thriller sounded the way it did.
yes, the quality of the musicians makes the record what it is
True fact. In fact Thriller as an album was how I finally came to understand the true definition of what they called a "pop record" in that day. It finally made sense, it was about the collective: bringing the right people in for the right material to make something truly unforgettable.
It may have been Michael Jackson's, nay the world's all-time greatest selling album, but the musicians truly made that album.
Yep very true
Well Quincy Jones of course
Bruce Swedien - made it sound good. Everything adds up. Music First. RIP. MJ BS
It's probably my all time favorite song by Jackson.
Same
Mine too
@Spider Liliez Human Nature, and Butterflies.
Same here
Same here
Just a great story of how my fav song ever came to be
Agree . So happy to hear the back story . Never would have thought
You also have the best songs ever !!
Yoooo Kaysha the legend!!!
Funny it took years for this song to grow on me.
Kaysha dude I love your music 🇨🇻
Probably the greatest story in songwriting of all time.
one of the greatest songs ever written
Human Nature is my favorite song. Thanks Steve!
Aimée Orianthi , mine too! Also like several of the different remixes that are on TH-cam.
Yes one of the best songs
Aimée Orianthi my also favorite song🙏
It's in my rotating top three! They're Human Nature, Off the Wall and Rock with You.
Mine too! And I discovered a beautiful tribute to Human Nature! Do you know it? th-cam.com/video/Qd6YkZBGQW8/w-d-xo.html :)
Its the little things in life that's makes a huge impact his daughter created a master peace buy asking her father why he replied to her by saying its just human nature wow wow wow

If I could play the keyboard/piano like Steve, my life would be complete
I think some people have a natural groove in their playing, I don't, no matter how I try. And yet the next person can play my same notes/chords and they just rock.
totaltwit because they practice. It can be learned
@@totaltwit you can play well too, just don't give up! I truly believe you can do this without doubt! Peace out!
MJNerd c: I saw this comment a few weeks ago & I had already got a keyboard & I learned this song but on a basic level compared to Steve. You can too if you really want too
totaltwit keep trying. And keep practicing. The ones who groove did that.
My favorite song ever. It takes me to a place.
Mine too, Drillosophy 101. An awesome composition. Flawless. Celestial. Music heals but Human Nature elevates. Here's another beautiful version of it. Enjoy. th-cam.com/video/3oxjjPcjibo/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
Mine to my favorite songs of all the songs I ever heard since human nature debut!
All of the stories I've heard about this song are pure magic. The chord progression is nothing short of magical. Such a masterpiece
The piano piece is just beautiful all by itself. And I can't believe the world almost missed out on Michael recording this great songll!!! Thank GOD for auto reverse!!
Thank God for everything!
This dude is PAID for the rest of his life on the strength of his one song alone
Right. Too bad for Eddie Van Halen (BEAT IT) only a pack of beer nonetheless, he was also great.
He wrote more than 1 hit for several artists
This is my favorite song! When I heard this as a child it would stop me in my tracks. I'd just stand and listen.
vea6582 as a kid it's weird because I heard human nature on the thriller album and I started doing the robot Michael does in the bad tour before I'd even seen him do it! It was so weird but obviously Michael is king
vea6582 me too
That’s what a beautiful song does to you.
vea6582 Me too!!! I'm a grown man and I love it to this day. ❤️
Same here!!! Saw old video footage of me at a party and coincidentally they filmed singing this song lost in my world of oblivion and toys...damn this is such a great song
Steve Porcaro the song that you wrote called Human Nature puts you in a category with Beethoven and Mozart when it comes to pop music.
Pure genius thank you.
It’s kind of a “Beezart” piece.
Mothoven ?
🦟🔥@@plumbersteve
The Porcaro brothers were and still are a great gift from the gods of music.
And their dad
Yes. No Joe. No….Steve Jeff Mike .
I like how we all go around and let everyone know this. We are great ambassadors. Too bad they weren’t still all with us and we wouldn’t have to be doing this but it’s our responsibility.
And let's not forget about Lukather
And Paich, they are all musical geniuses
All these years of hearing Toto, I've mainly heard David Paich playing piano, and Steve Porcaro playing synthesizers. It was a pleasant surprise hearing Steve on piano here of this video.
TOTO ROCKS & RULES!
I also love the way Greg Phillinganes played it a few years ago on DJ Strick’s youtube channel. It was like being engulfed by the cosmos. Truly ethereal.
Interesting!

No idea what that means. 🤔
I always thought Human Nature was about how fame took a toll on Michael Jackson's life whenever his cover came out. Never knew the song was intended to be a Toto song.
True, but don't forget 'She's out of my life' from the Album 'Off the Wall'
I cried at the beauty and effortless motion when playing. Genius
get a hold of yourself man
I did too, wow :)
oh plzzzz....
@@MM-rr1kp I can’t. I lost my balls in 88
This guy is a genius...
A genius and few people know him in the sense that people who know proper music appreciate him
That song was meant for Michael. Even in his live performances he embodies the song on a super natural level
One of the greatest songs ever written by a member of the greatest musical family to have ever come out of Northeast: the Porcaro family. F’ing Legends all of them and I miss Jeff every day and Mike and also Joe.
Connecticut born and raised! The Porcaros were from in Hartford, Connecticut. I actually met one of Steve’s cousins here because I’m from CT as well. The whole family is very musical.
This is like finding $100 in a pair of pants you haven't worn in awhile..Good video👍👍
+Smooth Daddy its finding gold in a silver mine
+michael jagger That Too👍
Smooth Daddy Steve Porcaro is a legend in the music industry and as a person
+Smooth Daddy EXACTLY! What a jewell
Let's make it $50....but yes great video!! lol! MJ rules!
whoa when Steve jumped on the keyboard i was blown away , and to the one person who disliked this video has poor taste in music
me too, as soon as I heard Steve play the piano chills ran down my spine.
Even the interviewer was getting into it.
Sadly a lot of people hate on Steve. And on Toto as a whole:( I feel very bad for them sometimes.
Are you for real?? You don't have any clue about Steve's keyboard "jumping" is a recall of the finished song??? Are you that dumb not to under stand that? You really think his jam on this video is his original first chords?? OMG
My heart jumped when he played it
My favorite Michael Jackson song! Thanks for creating it Steve! It’s beautiful!
It's amazing that the inspiration started because of a child
*I LOVE THIS SONG!* From the very first chords he plays, it goes straight to my soul. Beautiful!
ive always loved how expressive steve porcaro is when he plays. he really gets into it. Even the interviewer was getting into the groove.
This guy simply composed the best song ever, this is an absurd to say, bu that's how I feel about Human Nature. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
MJ's Human Nature is sooooo smooth.. thank you so much Toto
The Porcaro's will always be my favorite music family.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Toto & MJ two of my favorite artists of all time as well.
Imagine you and your brothers being some of the most bad ass musicians in the game. Unreal. All different instruments, too. Truly a gift to us all.
The greatest song ever
Michael did that song justice. What he did could have been done by no other.
tracyfins Quincy
@@SPAZZOID100 Quincy couldn't sing to save his life...
@@SPAZZOID100 no one can beat mj
@@SPAZZOID100 Actually Michael and Quincy. Michael was extremely involved in his craft, even in the songs that weren't his own compositions
Is there a Toto version?
The second he played the piano my head started bopping
This guy is a genius songwriter, he also wrote the wonderfull "Lea" and "Taking it Back" both from Toto.
You forgot "It's a Feeling".
So good
Little did he know him & Michael would give us the greatest song of all time, it’s literally that good. It’s about the nature of the universe and you can feel it in your soul while you listen to its harmonies
Steve Porcaro Genial !!!😊
Awesome story about an awesome song.
R.I.P Michael Jackson
God send these amazing beings among us to shine the light, to make music and show us the way...Steve Porcaro and his brothers....a gift from heaven!
well sed bro. 100 percent agree with u.. music is the food of love.. proudly south African 👌
One of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard.
The best part about this video was his piano rendition of the tune. What an absolute bliss.
I just love hearing the story behind the music and the creative process. Getting inspiration of his daughter on how to deal with human nature. Pfff just wow!❤️😍😍
An AWESOME story!
genius Porcaro Brothers! , David Paich, Steve Lukather !
Rock classic. yep great. musicians
Rock classic spell his name right. It's LUKATHER.
Rock classic I thought that was Luke Skywalker for some reason haha
Rock classic Jeff, Steve, Lukather... Dont forget Landau!!
steve lukather was genius with the guitarr and jeff was genius with the drums and mike was genius with bass and steve was genius with synthesizers and keyboard
So glad i got to meet steve. Such a humble nice guy...
It's...2022 I'm getting a bit old now...and here I am, again listening to this breathtaking song. Thank you for your genious Steve Porcaro.
If there's a heaven I think I'll hear Michael Jackson singing this beautiful song.
I have a feeling that of all of his songs Michael Jackson's own favorite was Human Nature.
Steve Porcaro, un genio. Classe suprema
Steve Porcara and Michael Jackson rulessssssssssssssss.
1:30 just wow
You can see it in her eyes that she is a fan! really loved watching this and she is a great interviewer. Steve Porcaro is an amazing human being. His whole family is.

So good!
I am in love with this interview.
Steve you are a genius I thank God for you I've been listening to this song ever since I was a kid and it always sound new every time I listen to it this was the greatest song ever made
2:06 I legit broke out in full-body goosebumps. That album was the hugest thing on Earth my senior year of high school.
My fave song in that album and was surprised when I found out Steve wrote it and said to myself no wonder of all the songs I liked this one. I am a huge Toto fan then Michael sang it just wow💚❤️💙💛
Great story.
One of my all-time favorite songs honestly
Steve is a great guy like all the Porcaro's including his father Joe
Ian Steele absolutely they are all true musicians in the great Porcaro Family.
This has been one of my favorite Michael Jackson songs since I was a child and now it might be my favorite or the second one after Billie Jean. I remember how hard it hit me when John Mayer played an instrumental version on the guitar at Michael's funeral. What a beautiful composition, thanks Steve and Michael for giving us such a sublime masterpiece.
Between this one and “It’s a Feeling” from Toto IV, Steve was really in the zone during this era. Amazing story!!!
I sing and play this song almost every day. One of my favorite songs ever
I truly admire how Michael is only brought up once throughout the whole interview. Well done. legends live forever!🙏🏿
What a beautifully written song...sang by the most beautiful voice.. ❤️
So, the brain that thought up the eternal classic, Africa, also thought up Human Nature? That is wonderful.
Steve didnt write Africa, Jeff Porcaro and David Paich did
David Paitch wrote the lyrics to Africa. Band wrote the music. They were mixing Africa in the control room while Steve was out in the studio writing Human Nature. That's a productive evening. Africa was the very last song to make it on to Toto 4. It was more a pet project to Paitch. The other guys didnt think it belonged. Crazy huh!
That day God showed up and was like « hey you guys have a free one on me »
@@TheBigwheels11 imagine if Michael Jackson sang Africa too 👀👌🏾
@@gmentertainmenttv9312 Can't even imagine it.

Steve playing on that keyboard gave me absolute goosebumps!!! Incredibly talented to just come up with such amazing songs like that
I had this song as my ringtone and my daughter's first words were not mom, they were "why, why", I was not disappointed at all. Amazing song!♥️♥️
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Haha so cute!
I just keep watching this video over and over.... cant stop
Most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard........D master👍😎👍

This is so inspiring man. To see how Quincy Jones, Rod Temperton and Michael created magic with other amazing people. Motivation
He looks and sounds so much like his brother Jeff. Genius musicians.
Great interview about my fav Jackson song. Also very cool to see Steve explain it's origin. For those who don't already know, almost the entire band of Toto played on this song & on the rest of the thriller album as well.
