Fahrenheit is a studio album by Toto, released in 1986. It was their first album to feature Joseph Williams on lead vocals. It was also the last Toto album to feature keyboardist Steve Porcaro as a permanent member, as he left after the Fahrenheit tour. The album failed to go gold until 1994^[1], but featured two top forty singles in "I'll Be Over You" (#11) and "Without Your Love" (#38). Singer Paula Abdul appears in the video for a third single, "Till The End"^[2].
