Unbelievable track record when you look at David Paich's wikipedia. Most people only mention the names 'Porcaro' and 'Lukather' when discussing Toto, as well, even when. discussing who worked with Michael jackson, so I thought it was an interesting premise: Maaybe Paich is the most unsung songwriter alive!
I mispelled his name a minute ago, a phantom 'T', so I have re-posted this, but check out this giants discography sometime. Not to mention he played keyboards on Katy Lied with Steely Dan on Bad Sneakers and Black Friday.

Almost a cross between the American West, James Bond, Mission Impossible, and Sherlock Holmes. This was a good series occasionally a little silly but very entertaining. The star of the show went on to have a second career promoting a battery brand.
