COVERS (OF TOTO SONGS)
There are several artists/bands which recorded covers of Toto-songs. Members of the Toto mailing-list compiled the following list:
Artist: Ja Rule
Song: Reign (2003)
This song has a sample from "Africa"
Artist: Roger Sanchez
Album: First contact (2001)
Song: Another chance
In this song, a big 2001 summer hit, Roger Sanchez samples the two first lines of "I won't hold you back" (from "Toto IV", 1982), sung by Steve Lukather: 'If I had another chance tonight, I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right."
Roger remembers how he came to sample Toto:
DJ Roger Sanchez has revealed a love for unfashionable
supergroup Toto. The DJ sampled the band for his number One hit 'Another Chance' but says he admires most of the band's music. "This Toto album was lying around in the studio and I came across that line ['If I had another chance tonight...' from I Won't Hold You Back, on 1982's Toto IV]," he told the paper, "I don't take blatant samples generally, but lyrically it just made the track and hit something I'd gone through." "I love Toto!"(Deejaypromo.com, 2001)
