The Seventh One is Toto's seventh album. It was released in 1988, and became the best-received Toto album since "Toto IV". This is the second and last album to feature Joseph Williams on lead vocals. He was fired after the Seventh One world tour due to drug abuse. The singles "Pamela" and "Stop Loving You" were both very popular. According to keyboardist/singer David Paich, "The Seventh One" was meant to be their comeback album (the two previous albums had failed to match Toto IV's commercial success) but the album's promotion and advertising was pulled after corporate changes at their label. Still, many Toto fans claim this is one of the finest albums they ever did. Trivia: The title song "The Seventh One," is not part of this album, but you can find it on a 1996 2-CD German import, "Toto Greatest Hits."
