Africa by Toto

[H0merSimpson]

Is it true that this song won a Grammy or an Emmy? Or the equivalent of an Oscar? Was it in a film?

not sure if that particular song won a grammy but their other major hit single 'Rosanna' did for record of the year sometime in the early 80's. i seem to remember they won quite a few grammys...although many would find that hard to believe!

happy days, good memories!

(from wikipedia)

Toto released their self-titled debut album in October 1978, selling two million copies based on their top ten hit "Hold the Line". The next two albums Hydra and Turn Back had little success, but Toto IV (released in 1982) featured the number one hit "Africa," as well as the top ten single "Rosanna". Toto IV went multi-platinum and earned several Grammy Awards including 1983 Album of the Year and Record of the Year (for "Rosanna").
