Jeffrey Thomas "Jeff" Porcaro (April 1, 1954 – August 5, 1992) was an American drummer, songwriter, and producer best known for his work with the rock band Toto. Porcaro is one of the most recorded session musicians in history, working on hundreds of albums and thousands of sessions. While already an established studio player in the 1970s, he came to prominence in the United States as the drummer on the Steely Dan album Katy Lied. AllMusic has characterized him as "arguably the most highly regarded studio drummer in rock from the mid-'70s to the early '90s", further stating that "It is no exaggeration to say that the sound of mainstream pop/rock drumming in the 1980s was, to a large extent, the sound of Jeff Porcaro." He was posthumously inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 1993.
Porcaro was born in Hartford, Connecticut, the eldest son of Los Angeles session percussionist Joe Porcaro and his wife, Eileen. His brothers Mike and Steve were also successful studio musicians and members of the band Toto. Porcaro was raised in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles and attended Ulysses S. Grant High School.
Porcaro (Breton: Porzh-Karozh) is a commune in the Morbihan department of Brittany in north-western France.
Inhabitants of Porcaro are called in French Porcaréens.
Jeff is a short form of the English given name Jeffrey, which derives from a medieval variant of Geoffrey. Jeff is especially used in the US and Canada.

JEFF PORCARO recording for the legendary French singer CLAUDE NOUGARO with Mick Lanaro and Claude Gaudette. -Artist : Claude Nougaro -Name of the album :Pacifique
Jeff Porcaro laid down every groove so tight without looping or clicktrack. Jeff & Mike invented the groove. Groovin'...that's all they want...and they DID No show off with (big) solo's, but all those little 16/32 notes, shufflin', very subtile elements....there was, is and will be no greater drummer than Jeff.

TOTO live at Nippon Budokan stadium Tokyo Japan 1982 on the TOTO IV tour. Most high school bands don’t go anywhere, but Rural Still Life, which gigged around Grant High in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley in the early ’70s, is a notable exception: Drummer Jeff Porcaro, keyboard players David Paich and Steve Porcaro, and guitarist Steve Lukather all went on to help form the nucleus of Toto’s original lineup, along with session vet David Hungate (who played with Paich and Jeff Porcaro on Boz Scaggs‘ ‘Silk Degrees’ album) on bass and vocalist Bobby Kimball. The group found immediate success with their self-titled debut album, but things really exploded — in more ways than one — after the multi-platinum, Grammy-winning ‘Toto IV’ in 1982. 0:00 Childs Anthem 1:52 Girl Goodbye 6:37 I'll supply the lo...
