More sad news I'm afraid. 2020 is turning out to be a bit like 2016.
The legendary Frederick Nathaniel "Toots" Hibbert OJ has sadly passed on at the age of 77
One of the pioneers who took reggae to an international audience with his songs being covered by the likes of The Specials, The Clash and Amy Winehouse
54-46 That's My Number commemorates (if that's the right word" a prison sentence in the 60's.
I only saw Toots & the Maytals once at the Arches in Glasgow along with my late friend Harry. The place was absolutely jumping.
Rest easy Toots
Toots & the Maytals -54-46 That's My Number
Toots & the Maytals - Pressure Drop
Toots & the Maytals - Monkey Man
Toots & the Maytals - Funky Kingston
RIP Toots Hibbert.
ReplyDeleteHe was going to do a 'Farewell Tour' this year until COVID-19 hit, so he rescheduled it to next year instead. Guess is wasn't to be and, apparently, it was C-19 that got him in the end.
ReplyDeleteA very sad loss.
A very sad day.
