The Maytals formed in the 1960s and updated their name to Toots and the Maytals for their debut album ‘Sweet and Dandy’ in 1969.
One of the best-known ska and rocksteady groups, they are also known for the first use of the word ‘reggae’ in a song, on their 1968 single ‘Do The Reggay’.
Frederick ‘Toots’ Hibbert was considered a reggae pioneer who was named by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the 100 greatest singers of all time.
Known for classic reggae songs such as ‘54-46 Was My Number’, ‘Monkey Man’, ‘Pressure Drop’, ‘Funky Kingston’, ‘Broadway Jungle’, ‘Bam Bam’, ‘Time Tough’ and ‘Reggae Got Soul’, Toots and the Maytals are now fronted by Toots’ daughter Leba, who has released her own recordings and worked with Sly & Robbie, Jimmy Cliff and more.
