John and Tom welcome back Steve Porcaro for Part 2 of our interview with the legendary synthesizer virtuoso from Toto and countless session gigs. We pick back up from our discussion of the Rosanna solo to learn some surprising details about the synth parts in Africa. Plus, the truth behind the fabled serendipity that led to Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature,” a stint with Yes, and why Steve loves what he’s doing today.

That and so much more, as we look back from yesteryear and track forward all the way to present day, as well as what’s next for Steve.
