[3] The top songs for me are ‘Burning Bridges’, ‘All Forevers Must End’, ‘I’ll Never Know’and ’Take My Love’. As Luke shares, “I have been working with both these guys since I was a kid.

This is Lukather's first solo studio album in eight years, [2] following Transition (2013), marking the longest gap between two albums to date. Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day ( Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt& Frank Edwin Wright III) (2005) ToTo has enjoyed a celebrated global resurgence over the last decade. Through 2022-2023, the band will perform in front of close to a million fans. Their repertoire has 3 BILLION+ streams at Spotify alone, with “Africa” counting for one billion plays on its own. Lukather said, “Some people think ‘cause someone has left the band or moved on to their own thing that we stopped being friends or stopped wanting to work together.I think this proves that is not the case, and I wanted to make music with my old friends, alongside having a laugh or two. It was a lot of fun and it also has a sound that is familiar.” Closing Steve’s 9th solo album is ‘I’ll Never Know’, a big ballad, moody, complex, and it takes you through into a fitting guitar solo finale that signs off ‘Bridges’ in true Lukather style.

Grammy Award for Best R&B Song: Steve Lukather, Jay Graydon, Bill Champlin (for George Benson)– "Turn Your Love Around" Steven Lee Lukather was born on October 21, 1957, in the San Fernando Valley, California. His father was an assistant director and production manager at Paramount Studios, and worked on shows such as The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet and I Dream of Jeannie. [2] Lukather first played keyboards and drums, and then taught himself how to play the guitar starting at age seven, when his father bought him a Kay acoustic guitar and a copy of the Beatles album Meet the Beatles. Lukather has said that the album "changed his life" and that he was greatly influenced by the guitar playing of George Harrison in particular.
