The band consisted of Keith Emerson (keyboards) of The Nice, Greg Lake (vocals, bass, guitars, producer) of King Crimson, and Carl Palmer (drums, percussion) of Atomic Rooster. Sadly only Carl Palmer is still with us but his career not only incudes being a founding member of Atomic Rooster but also a member of the legendary supergroup Asia.

It's the Rush hour! :)
Some great choices there Mark.
I've never owned a copy, or even heard it in its entirety, but 'Toto' is very much on my wish list, especially after learning of David Paich, who has a long association with Boz Scaggs, including co-writing his 3 biggest songs (What Can I Say, Lowdown, Lido Shuffle).
