Far Corporation

Anyone familiar with them?
They were a rock supergroup formed in 1985 with members such as Bobby Kimball (Toto) and Robin McAuley (McAuley Schenker Group).
They were also the first band to chart with Stairway To Heaven (Top 10 in UK).

The band was created by Frank Farian, who created groups like Milli Vanilli, Boney M, La Bouche, and No Mercy

It's quite fascinating how much Bobby Kimball sounds almost exactly like Robert Plant
