THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE - STEVE LUKATHER P...

No one explodes one of the longest-held misconceptions of music history better than Steve
Lukather and his band Toto. The dominant pop-culture sound of the late-1970s and '80s was not
in fact the smash and sneer of punk  but a slick  polished amalgam of rock and R&B that was
first staked out on Boz Scaggs' Silk Degrees. That album was shaped in large part by the
founding members of Toto  who were emerging as the most in-demand elite session muso-crew in LA
and further developed on the band's self-titled three-million-selling debut smash of 1978. A
string of hits followed for the band going into the '80s and beyond. Running parallel to this 
as stellar session players  Lukather and band-mates David Paich  Jeff Porcaro and Steve Porcaro
were also the creative linchpins on some of the most successful  influential and enduring
records of the era. In The Gospel According to Luke  Lukather tells the Toto story: how a group
of high school friends formed the band in 1977 and went on to sell more than 40 million records
worldwide. He also lifts the lid on what really went on behind the closed studio doors and
shows the unique creative processes of some of the most legendary names in music: from Quincy
Jones  Paul McCartney  Stevie Nicks and Elton John to Miles Davis  Joni Mitchell  Don Henley 
Roger Waters and Aretha Franklin. And yet  Lukather's extraordinary tale encompasses the dark
side of the American Dream. Engaging  incisive and often hilarious  The Gospel According to
Luke is no ordinary rock memoir. It is the real thing . . .
