Rosanna - Toto

From 1982. This song probably got more airplay on rock radio than any other song of the 80s. But it has held up. Very tight arranging and production put keyboards and brass on high display. Here, Toto probably achieved the peak of the funk/fusion-influenced rock boom that started in the late 70s and really took over the rock sound for a while. Chicago was also a huge purveyor of this sound. Lots of others, though.
