Make a date with Kimball Monday night at SMX Convention Center

MANILA, Philippines -- Bobby Kimball will be at the SMX Convention Center tonight for a special performance, together with the Zoo Band and Sonny Parson’s Mucho Macho. Fans of the famed 80’s band Toto will surely enjoy the night listening to the songs that catapulted the group to international fame from the original lead vocalist himself.

Kimball promised to sing hits “Rosanna,” “Africa,” “Stairway to Heaven,” “I’ll Be Over You,” “Hold the Line,” “Anna,” “Georgy Porgy,” “Lea,” “99,” “I Won’t Hold You Back,” among others.

Kimball is here for a series of shows presented by Steve O’Neal Productions in cooperation with Manila Bulletin, Hyatt Hotel, Hard Rock Café, RJ 100.3 FM, Business Mirror, Lazer Music, Istanbul, Fox, Star Movies, Star World, MS the Male Tablet and Ming’s Pei Pa Koa Candy.

Kimball is no longer with Toto but he recalls that he had a good start with the group, originally composed of six members – himself, David Paich, Jeff and Steve Porcano, Steve Hungate, and Steve Lukather – most of them veteran session players. Toto was at the height of fame and popularity in 1982 when their album “Toto 1V” made history when it won six Grammy awards out of nine nominations.

But before “Toto 1V,” the group experienced low moments too especially with their second album “Hydra” which was a commercial failure although it was described as “a work of pure brilliance” which featured a more cohesive set of songs.

Two years later, in 1984, Kimball left the group (over personal differences with Jeff Porcano, who was his good friend who offered him his home when he separated from his wife) to pursue a solo career. But Kimball admitted that the problem he had with the group was drug-related. Kimball rejoined Toto as lead vocalist again in 1998. He toured with them too and in 2008, they were here in Manila for a performance at the Araneta Coliseum and Water Front Cebu.
