Toto was straight up loaded with talent. Luke and (Jeff) Porcaro were arguably the best session guitarist and drummer in that L.A. scene at the time they were also running Toto.

They were Quincy Jones' secret weapons and, in particular, they "fixed" a lot of the Thriller production challenges that came up, especially "Beat it."

And, Luke is one of the most down to Earth guys and best storytellers of that era as well.

Lukather hates having to play/sing 99. I think that it's their best song.

Lukather does a killer guitar solo on of all things,Lionel Ritchie's "Running With The Night".

I agree 1,000% ... the Porcaro brothers; Jeff, Mike, and Steve were insanely talented in everything they did.
Jeff even played drums on Pink Floyd's Mother .
