S.O.D. "Roseanne" by Toto

1/6/2015   Was this song about Rosanna Arquette who happened to be dating the band's keyboardist, Steve Pocaro at the time?  Many think so but the song's composer and band member David Paich says otherwise.  He states that it was based on girls he had known (and probably dated).

     It took home the Grammy for Record of the Year in 1983 and was nominated for Song of the Year.  Charting in 16 countries, it held the #2 spot for 5 consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. 

     Dancer and actress, Cynthia Rhodes of "Dirty Dancing" fame is the lead dancer in the music video which helped to secure her a role in "Staying Alive" alongside John Travolta.  Patrick Swayze can also be seen as one of the dancers.

     Toto is still doin' it and in 2015 they completed a U.S. tour with progressive rock band, Yes.  A tour of Europe and Japan is planned for 2016.
