LiveOne
Several years before producer Frank Farian assembled the controversial pop duo Milli Vanilli, he teamed up with a number of rock musicians — including Robin McAuley, Simon Phillips, and Toto members Steve Lukather, David Paich, and Bobby Kimball — to form the short-lived supergroup Far Corporation during the mid-1980s. The band's debut, Division One, was released internationally in 1986 and included a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven," which became a Top 10 hit in the UK and Ireland. Since Led Zeppelin had never released their own recording of "Stairway to Heaven" as a commercial single, Far Corporation's version marked the song's first time hitting the charts. Plans for a second album were scrapped when two of Far Corporation's follow-up singles failed to chart, and the group returned to the recording studio for one final album, 1994's Solitude, before its members returned their focus to other projects.
