The Maytals formed in the 1960's 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 also are 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 Hibbert, who has released her own recordings and worked with Sly & Robbie, Jimmy Cliff and more.
Jamaican vocalist Dave Barker found fame in 1971 with two massive selling singles - 'Double Barrel' & 'Monkey Spanner' as part of the Dave & Ansell Collins duo. Dave Barker started out as a member of The Techniques and has worked with Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Duke Reid, Coxsone Dodd, Bruce Ruffin, Winston Riley, Sly & Robbie alongside many others.
