Toots Hibbert was a reggae, ska and soul singer from Jamaica. He was the founder of the legendary Jamaican band Toots and the Maytals, which originated in the early sixties. Toots is known for inventing the word “reggae” with his song “Do the Reggay,” released in 1968. With this, he had a hand in creating the reggae music genre. After a few months spent in jail for possession of marijuana, Toots came up with one of his biggest hits : “54-56 That’s my Number,” which was reference to his cell number during his term. Toots began singing and touring the world in the 1960’s and received a Grammy Award in 2004 for the “Best Reggae Album of the Year.” He passed on September 11, 2020 but will live on through his music.

The Jamaican act started as a vocal trio and was signed to Island Records about the same time as Bob Marley. You really don’t get any more connected to the genesis of reggae than Toots and the Maytals. Bands such as The Clash and The Specials have covered their songs. They were also featured prominently in the soundtrack to the classic 1972 film The Harder They Come, and they’ve collaborated with the likes of Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, and Bonnie Raitt.
