Of course, he's best known (and rightly so, in some ways) for his 
work with Toto. But there are gems everywhere. I treasure a now 
rather obscure recording, Strange Kind of Love by Scottish band Love 
and Money (from Dundee, I think). This was a "moving into the big 
time" recording for them, and they attracted Gary Katz at the helm 
and Jeff Porcaro plays throughout. It was received well critically 
in the UK at the time (1989) but is sadly almost unheard of now. I 
wouldn't be surprised if it was deleted. It is (in my humble) packed 
end-to-end with great songs and, of all of Porcaro's work, this 
arguably makes me smile the most. It is *gorgeous*.
