David Paich (keyboards, vocals) and Jeff Porcaro (drums) were two of L.A.'s most in-demand session musicians before they formed Toto with David Hungate (bass), Steve Lukather (guitar, vocals), Steve Porcaro (keyboards, vocals), and Bobby Kimball (vocals). Paich had already co-written six songs on Boz Scaggs' 1976 multi-platinum album Silk Degrees, too, so by 1982, Toto was at its peak.
“I was looking for a title and was singing the chorus ‘Meet you all the way’ when she walked into the studio," he explained to news.com.au. "She was cuter than ever and I had a crush on her," Paich admitted, "and as she walked out, I just finished the line with ‘Rosanna’."
Regardless of who said what and when, everyone seems to be on the same page about it nowadays. Earlier this year, Arquette told People that she believes Paich borrowed her name. “I was around them all the time," she said. "They were wonderful musicians.”
Paich concurred: The name inspiration was absolutely Arquette's. “It is not completely about her, but I met her at the time she was dating my best friend," he said.
