They are also known for their extensive use of synthesizers and drum machines.

Larry Carlton was born in Brooklyn, New York and he and his brother Albert were the bass players for the band The Specials. Larry’s brother Albert became a lead singer with the group Bayside. Larry was a founding member of the group called The Original Sound Machine and also wrote the band’s first song, “Africa.”

Larry Carlton played keyboards on the songs that have influenced by The Beatles, The Stones, Elvis Presley, Neil Young and other popular artists of the past. Carlton is one of only two African American members of the original TOTO band.

John Henry was another member of TOTO. He had been the singer of the rock group Styx. John Henry is one of the biggest rock guitarists of the 70’s. Henry was also a member of the band Kingfish and was part of The Styx.

Many people have been inspired by TOTO. The group has been featured on various television shows and movies, including The Simpsons and The Sopranos.
