Toots was a holdout when Rastafarianism hit Jamaica; he never joined up and you you won't hear those themes in his lyrics. This is one of the reasons I use Toots & the Maytals to introduce people to reggae... because their perception of reggae is frequently of a bunch of white college kids wearing red/gold/green and smoking pot, claiming it's their religion (see Ras Trent haha). This is GOOD MUSIC, with a positive message and a good beat. Who can complain?
g' mada can do it g'fada can do it, reggae got soul....anybody can do it (i.e. skanking means just that, u do what moves that comes best to u, cause nobody cares how u dance, just do it)!
for me, reggae doesn't have oldies......I've spent nearly my entire 'twenties' searching and finding reggae I like.....it's so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice!
@JimmyFatz - WayHeyyy! I was stage front left, on the end - Danced my backside off. The kids next to me were the first to jump stage. You ever seen Toots before?Where you from? I'm Concord, NH... 4 hours roundtrip to Prtlnd.
@nick281972 Dude, He is obviously smoking herb. Check out the latter part of the video and the draws he takes off the spliff. People don't smoke cigarettes like that
When I drive around in my car listening to this its almost a guarantee that it will cause spontaneous dancing to break out wherever people are gathered in groups larger than two...
really fantastic .. i had the pleasure to assist yesterday to a concert of them !! it was a fantastic concert with alot of strenght in stange and in the audience . really amazing . to remenber forever Pfaffikon Reeds Festival 2010 in switzerland. :D
Wonder who the one fool is who disliked this one lol. Wait, why is there smoke comin out of my speakers? Feelin kinda lightheaded, anyone got any cup cakes? Love Toots, Jah Rastafari

Yah Toots! Toots and the Maytals brought the word Reggae to the music scene. Sure, Jamaican music existed before them, but not the word "Reggae"...They are more than signifigant to reggae, they are it's roots. This guy still shreds at 65. Just saw him in Eugene and his ska energy still amps the crowd.
i don't know, i have no idea what this is acctualy, maybe it's a studio? does not look like the studio, does'nt seem like a live session, and it sounds exactly like the record
it is weird isnt it? is that even one of the members? i dont know much about em, im gonna do me research, i dont think i even have this track.... very stange.
This captures the real essence and feeling of Jamaica.
Oh yeah a great compilation to pick up is "Soul of Jamaica" featuring a compilation of classic producer Duke Reid's recordings. Groups like Lynn Tait and the Jets. Sick Rocksteady guitar 'pluckin can be found on this comp
oouaaaa.. ca c du reagge.. chill.. jai découvert ca dernierement.. en regardant le film This is England.. et j'avais entendu la musik aussi dans un party.. vraiment inspiré comme reagge !
yea unfortunately all contemporary rastajunkies think that it all begun with Marley and all his followers, but there is so many good reggae bands with roots, rocksteady, ska influence that most of rasta bands will never achieve
Great tune! Toots has soul!
