Jun 21: A song you like with a person's name in the title

Lots of potential songs to choose from here....

A few that spring to mind are 'Valerie' from Steve Winwood, 'Rosanna' from Toto etc.

I'll probably go for a track from Goldfrapp's album 'Tales of Us'

And I'd choose the opening track 'Jo':

Toto recorded Africa without ever having been there.... I wonder how many other songs have similar starting points.

This Financial Times piece explores the life of the song. This was a song on Toto IV.

Toto are an American rock band, originally formed in 1977 by David Paich and Jeff Porcaro.

Here's the song in case you haven't heard it... which I doubt.

This piece looks at the lyrics and the criticism they faced, partly for being "geographically inept".
