No one explodes one of the longest-held misconceptions of music
history better than Steve Lukather and his band Toto. The dominant
pop-culture sound of the late-1970s and '80s was not in fact the
smash and sneer of punk, but a slick, polished amalgam of rock and
R&B that was first staked out on Boz Scaggs' Silk Degrees. That
album was shaped in large part by the founding members of Toto, who
were emerging as the most in-demand elite session muso-crew in LA,
and further developed on the band's self-titled
three-million-selling debut smash of 1978. A string of hits
followed for the band going into the '80s and beyond. Running
parallel to this, as stellar session players, Lukather and
band-mates David Paich, Jeff Porcaro and Steve Porcaro were also
the creative linchpins on some of the most successful, influential
and enduring records of the era. In The Gospel According to Luke,
Lukather tells the Toto story: how a group of high school friends
formed the band in 1977 and went on to sell more than 40 million
records worldwide. He also lifts the lid on what really went on
behind the closed studio doors and shows the unique creative
processes of some of the most legendary names in music: from Quincy
Jones, Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks and Elton John to Miles Davis,
Joni Mitchell, Don Henley, Roger Waters and Aretha Franklin. And
yet, Lukather's extraordinary tale encompasses the dark side of the
American Dream. Engaging, incisive and often hilarious, The Gospel
According to Luke is no ordinary rock memoir. It is the real thing
. . .
