Short story:

Rosanna by Toto enters the Billboard Top 40 singles chart in the USA, where it will peak at No2.

Full article:

David Paich (Toto) : Rosanna was done in one take. It was all spontaneous jamming on the end. Jeff (drummer Jeff Porcaro) had this ability to do things in one take. A lot of time we would redo our parts, but Jeff's part was usually right on the first take. '99' was done in one take. He used to change his kit a whole bunch too. In the early days, he'd change bass drums or put together all sorts of strange drumkits. Sometimes he'd open the heads up and put newspaper inside, always looking for different sounds on the drums, always experimenting.
