Image:Davidpaich.jpg David Paich (born June 25 1954 in Los Angeles, California) is a session musician from the 1980s, keyboard player, vocalist and main composer of the Los Angeles based rock/pop band Toto. David is the son of jazz composer Marty Paich.
David Paich is one of the most prolific songwriters of the 1980's. He wrote "Rosanna," "99," "Hold the Line," and most of Toto's hits over the years, including several 70's hits by pop artists (such as Cheryl Lynn's hit, "Got to be Real").
David co-wrote the 1982 hit, "Africa," along with Toto's drummer Jeff Porcaro. David also sung lead vocals on the song. He has co-writing credits with Boz Scaggs on the song "Lowdown," and occasionally still sits in on keyboards with Boz Scagg's band.
He is still writing and performing with Toto, although he has opted to remain closer to the L.A. area and not tour extensively with the band. Session Keyboardist Greg Phillinganes joined Toto in 2005 as an additional keyboardist for both studio projects and tour dates.
David Paich played on the Bryan Adams song "Please Forgive Me".
