Toots and the Maytals are one of the best known Ska
and Rocksteady groups of all time.
Formed in the early 1960’s The Maytals were key figures
in popularizing Reggae. Front man Toots Hibbert who
died in 2020 is considered a Reggae pioneer on a par
with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. His soulful vocal style
has been compared to that of Otis Reading. Rolling
Stone magazine named him one of the top 100 male
singers of all time.
Their 1968 hit do the Reggay was the first record to use
the word Reggae. Coining the name of the genre and
introducing it to an international audience.
This Is Toots and the Maytals’ third album from 1968
originally released on Beverley’s records in 1968. Only
ever re-issued on vinyl once in 2018. Copies of the re-

pioneer of the genre
