Fergie Frederiksen Pick

I'm not sure why I didn't take the chance at the extra alliteration possible to call it a family pick. Fergie Frederiksen Family would have sounded good, but I didn't. I actually started this because of the Jim Peterik connection. He's the reason that Fergie got to sing backup for Survivor. But before that he was in prog band Trillion. He's mostly known for being the other lead singer for Toto. I also figured out he was David London (doing disco for Casablanca records - the tracks here from the Can't Stop The Music soundtrack - The Village People starred in it). He appeared on a bunch of projects, I tried to pick a wide variety. He also wrote a few songs for other artists, but none of those are on here. His real name is Dennis, but Fergie became his nickname when a buddy thought his last name was Ferguson. It stuck.

En Toto Pick (Band members of Toto playing with others)

Toto has won awards had hit songs. Some people may not be aware that the members of Toto including David Paich, Steve Lukather, Bobby Kimball, brothers Jeff Porcaro and Steve Porcaro, and David Hungate were song writers and studio musicians. This pick is some of the places they've shown up. A wide body of work. I tried to pick songs with at least one of them playing on the track. There are hundreds more choices. Let me know if I missed your favorites. The title was just my version of Latin to mean Toto In Total. OK, I'm shitty at jokes. But lost of hits here.
