Grammy nominated Toots Hibbert is one of the great voices of Jamaica; a legend whose career spans every development in Jamaican music, from ska through rock-steady to reggae. Toots and the Maytals have helped to chart the course of Jamaican music with unrivaled delivery and dynamism, setting new standards of excellence, and becoming the most enduring of all Jamaica's groups. The combination of great reggae rhythms, heartfelt vocals, and soulful gospel influence remains potent and powerful—probably the most cohesive mix of reggae and soul music ever, and still going strong.
