^Getting ahead of things over there CH! We’re straggling along a day behind you, lol!
"Wicked Game" has seriously long legs - seems as though it's perpetually being covered. Nice little retirement fund.
David Paich was born on 25 June 1954, LA, California, USA. By an extremely happy coincidence, he and Jeff Porcaro had gelled while playing for others on the session circuit, decided to form a band, and voila! Toto was born.
Vocalist, keys man and creator extraordinaire, Paich is responsible for writing and co-writing some of their biggest hits and indeed, most of the songs on their first few albums. He also has co-writing, production and performance credits on a large number of albums by Aretha Franklin, Boz Scaggs, Quincy Jones, Melanie Safka, Don Henley, Diana Ross, the Doobie Brothers, Neil Diamond, Seals and Crofts, Steely Dan, Elton John, Joe Cocker, Rod Stewart, Cher, Randy Newman, the Brothers Johnson and Pink.
Paich was touring with Toto up to fairly recently but is now on a permanent hiatus, I'm pretty sure due to ill health.

And, how could it be anything but … “Africa” -
