In 1995, Toto regrouped and recorded Tambu, their first album with Simon Phillips. A departure from Toto's polished, almost over-produced sound of the 80s, Tambu was a very organic release and featured the single "I Will Remember" which received moderate radio play. The album didn't do well in sales, selling only 10 000 copies in the States, also causing the planned second single "Baby He's Your Man" to be cancelled in the States. [17] However, the Tambu tour proved to be another successful tour for them although there were no North American dates this time. Simon Phillips suffered from a backproblem so Gregg Bissonette had to fill in for him during the first leg of the tour in 1995. The tour concluded in 1996. For the tour, backup singers John James and Jenny Douglas McRae returned. Donna McDaniels however did not and left in 1994. The song "Hold The Line" was now sung as a duet between Jenny and John.
