Bottom of Your Soul
2006 single by Toto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Bottom of Your Soul" is a song by the American pop/rock band Toto. It was released as the only single from their album Falling in Between. There were two pressings of the single: one with two renditions of the title track while the other was a 4-track summer 2006 edition. It failed to make the charts in either the USA or UK, but it was a top 40 hit in The Netherlands. The chorus of the song features Joseph Williams, who was then in the middle of his long hiatus from the group, and is the first and only single from the band to feature Greg Phillinganes.[2]
