Steve Porcaro vividly recalls watching the Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan television program in February 1964 and having the sense that his life would never be the same. After forming several bands with his now famous brothers, Steve became a member of the band Toto, playing keyboards and writing several important songs for the group over the years. His songwriting talents can be heard on many albums, including the biggest selling album in history “Thriller.” Michael Jackson recorded Steve’s “Human Nature” for his groundbreaking release in the early 1980s. Since that time he has worked on movies such as Montana Sky in 2007.
