Africa by Toto - Background secrets and making of a fresh cover (by SoundTricks and Brett Winters)

Africa by Toto - Did you know that the Nr. 1 Hit "Africa" by Toto almost never "happened" because band members Steve Lukather and Steve Porcaro thought the song was dumb - and had goofy lyrics?

So join me in a little "Africa" history and the making of a fresh cover together with Singer/Songwriter Brett Winters.

Here is the link to my favorite Brett Winters Song "Closet Heart":
   • Closet Heart (feat. Sarah Cassidy)  

Of course also available on Spotify, Apple Music etc.
